Can I have an "I told you so" from the congregation?

Given the failure of my rollback proposal, which apparently Mr. A would have vetoed anyway, Wonko is left in possession of alleged player stocks, which allegedly give em control over voting.  The way I see it, there are three options:

-	Mr. A could interpret the stocks in Wonko's possession to be nonexistent, since the existing rule says players must go public in order for there to be player stocks, and none of the players have done so.  If necessary, someone could compose a CFI to that effect.

-	Wonko could, in keeping with eir generous act of returning all the money, abandon any claim as to the legitimacy of eir alleged player stocks.

-	We can have another stinkin' state of emergency, which would tie the game up for another ten days or so.

Personally, I consider any claim of legitimacy for Wonko's player stocks to be at least 95% bogus, but if the first two possibilities aren't explored, I suspect the SOE would be necessary.
