Sure it can be simplified, but by doing so it might cause it not to pass. Which is fine if you would rather not have conflicts @sprstoner instead of this set of solutions.

Anyone can make a proposal, but with every proposal it requires a lot of communication with many of the various stakeholders. You and others can do that, and possibly find a better solution. I've been there with Clay having the convos and I can assure you this wasn't an easy discussion with many players. However, if you want to do the work, then that's cool if you can find something that people would prefer.

When a situation is complicated and people are dug in on various sides of the issues, then the solutions generally have to be complicated if you want them to pass. What you think is important, might not be what other people think is important.

We have many issues being addressed in this proposal including the value of the Black Foils (in both conflicts and overall), the costs to repair the wagons, the types of packs offered and the value of those packs, and the mechanisms for guarantees versus opportunities at big stuff for all. These are all issues that need to be addressed, none of them can be ignored.

So if you and others can make it more simplified, and get enough backing to pass, then I think that's great. The alternatives are simple though:

1. this doesn't pass and we won't have Conflicts based on this complicated proposal
2. a new proposal comes out that does pass

While I agree and believe the solution is complicated, the outcome of the process is not. Either someone puts up a proposal that passes to enable conflicts, or we just skip Conflicts for the Mini-set.
