The green beard effect

The theory about "The green beard effect" stipulates that a person with a green beard will benefit from helping another person with a green beard. To adapt this theory to the rules of the game, I propose that each time a player defined as a Real Man under rule 318 votes Yes to a rule that - when taken in effect - results in an immediate point gain for any other player defined as a Real Man, the voting player is awarded with 2 extra points. The same applies if a player that is not defined as a Real Man under rule 318 votes Yes to a rule that results in points gain for any other player not being defined as a Real Man. Any one player can gain maximum 2 extra points from this rule for each voting session, regardless of how many other players has benefited from said voting. The rule being voted upon has to be accepted for this rule to come into effect.
