* 203. A rule-change is adopted if and only if the vote recieves no negative votes and gets the minimum number of needed positive votes, tallied after 12 hours. If this rule is not amended after another 12 hours, it automatically changes to require only a simple majority. (Meaning, if your vote isn't accepted unanimously, you can either amend it, or (if the majority of votes were positive) you may wait 12 hours and it will be passed.)
*203. A rule-change is adopted if and only if the vote recieves the minimum number of needed votes. After 16 hours, the votes will be tallied. If the proposal has more positive votes than negative votes (ie, a majority) it shall be made into a rule. In the case of a tie, the original proposer's vote shall be discarded.

If at least one of the rules in conflict explicitly says of itself that it defers to another rule (or type of rule) or takes precedence over another rule (or type of rule), then such provisions shall supersede the numerical method for determining precedence.

:New Judges are not bound by the decisions of old Judges. New Judges may, however, settle only those questions on which the players currently disagree and that affect the completion of the turn in which Judgment was invoked. All decisions by Judges shall be in accordance with all the rules then in effect; but when the rules are silent, inconsistent, or unclear on the point at issue, then the Judge shall consider game-custom and the spirit of the game before applying other standards.

*213. If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if by the Judge's best reasoning, not overruled, a move appears equally legal and illegal, then the first player unable to complete a turn is the winner.
