Except that if the insta-prop is something bad,
whether by omission or commission, it stays around in
its potentiality, hanging over our heads, with the
possibility that a newbie would show up, sign up, give
the insta-prop a quick once-over, say, "Um...sure!" 
and make it happen.

If it needs to be made gone, I want it GONE, not
sitting around like an unexploded bomb.

Glotmorf Rules! wasn't a cheesy rule change.  Glotmorf
Rules! was a scam...a cheesy rule exploitation. 
Entirely different critter.

As for the Overlord rule, that had high chutzpah for
two reasons: (1) it had to repulse people who were
reacting to it as simply another Glotmorf Rules!, when
in reality it wasn't; and (2) it had to have the power
to do to the gamestate whatever was required of it,
presumably through petition.

And nobody petitioned.  No one asked for anything. 
Not even the abolition of the rule, or my own
abdication.

Y'all want to elect an Overlord?  Without worrying
about the current Overlord or the Underlords?  Someone
could petition for a housecleaning...
