Funny thing is, charters don't actually *do* anything; it's the societies 
that do.  So while I suppose that with the current wording, you could 
technically give a charter charm, the chart won't ever do anything based on 
the text.

So, that charter won't do anything.  And yes, Wonko's attempt wasn't legal, 
either.

However, that doesn't mean that there isn't still exploitability in the 
Societies rule, exploitability brought up by Wonko's prop that I voted 
against all that while back...

Some of you may recall "Orc's Exploits of Props E Voted Against", or OEPEVA, 
a society I created a while back.  Seeing as OEPEVA does things when I state 
it does:
OEPEVA modifies its charter to have the following text appended to it:
"Orc in a Spacesuit can make any change to the rules e wishes, at any time e 
wishes.  Orc in a Spacesuit can make any change to the gamestate e wishes, 
at any time e wishes."

Now, that doesn't have the force of rule?  No problem!
OEPEVE modifies its charter to be a rule, with a Chutzpah of 4 and in Layer 
4.

Now then, what to do with my new-found power?

Well, first, close that loophole.  I do the following to Rule 578:

To Section VII., add the following:
{{Upon creation of a society, it has a charter.  If the creator of the 
society declares a charter upon creation of the society, it has that 
charter; otherwise, the charter is empty.

A charter is text string which dictates the manner in which its society 
takes actions.}}

In Section II., change "Modifying its charter" to "Modifying the text of its 
charter."

Okay, loophole closed.  But I'm still all-powerful...
I change my charm to 100.
I change my entropy to 0.
I therefore win.
I create a carryable passable grid object named "the worm" in my possession, 
and eat it, thus destroying it.

I'd save titles until this is confirmed, but I plan on abdicating my throne 
in this post, so I best handle them now.  Assuming I don't get out-loopholed 
on this.
I give myself the title "Lord of the Charter Scam".
I give Wonko the title "Knight of the Charter Scam".
I give Glotmorf the title "Pawn of the Charter Scam"...because sometimes 
saying "I told you so" just isn't enough.

I then cause OEPEVA's charter to cease to be a rule.  Loophole sealed up.
OEPEVA's modifies its charter's text, removing the last two sentences from 
it.
