I'll thwack the Baron on the side, to see if it makes em unstuck.

Aside from that, if, by "messing with stuff", e meant my most recent proposal, that's not really meant to rectify the discrepancy.  That prop follows the same logic as the one that turned the Clock off at the end of each nweek.

Hmm...I suppose I could word this prop that way too...The Clock turns off at the beginning of the second-to-last nday of each nweek.  The Clock turns back on if that nweek's ballot has been distributed, and all proposals on the ballot are displayed for public review.  Whaddaya think?
