There's no official method to withdraw from a ministry election at the
moment, so perhaps we might want to add one.

Raelus's analysis seems right on the ball to me. A better defense
might be trying to argue that the "associated talisman"'s effects
could still happen merely by having a ball of energy of them, but
that's a pretty tenuous argument at best.

I'm pretty much just voting against subgames at the moment. Maybe in a
few nweeks if we feel like we need more you could propose it again,

Yup.

I agree that the proposal does not contain any Gamestate
