Following the flurry of rule changes and updates, weve amended the RP section of the PT Game Rules to include the following update:

-- 5d. RP laws that grant extraordinary powers, ban specific parties or ideologies, create one-party states, grant or allow powers that might not be granted by normal game mechanics or otherwise authorize dictatorial or executive authority must be posted HERE for review by Moderation; these laws must include that they can be repealed by a simple majority vote within the bill. Please note that RP law approvals may take sometime and Moderation will respond as promptly as possible;

The original reads:

Weve done this for a while as an informal policy but believe it is best to codify it. There have been situations in the past and present where players, notably newer players have had issues with RP Laws, especially those governing extraordinary powers and believe that this should clear up any issues.
