Is that supposed to be a comment? Or a change to the past?
If it's a comment, then it's wrong, as per CFI
whatever-the-hell-it-was-numbered, which declared that e recieved one point
for each vote e cast.

Also, up that rule's Chutzpah by one, so those damn Gremlins stop voting.

You need a closing __.

It'll do for now.

If you're not going to make an entropy explosion afterwords, then this has
no business being in a refresh prop.

What about wiping things like points and BNS? I'm reasonably certain that
none of the values on the website are really what they should be, based on
massive uncertainty regarding various players' scores at various points
(especially due to possible wins)

Also, what about perhaps setting the number of Wins in Baron's and in my
possession to 1 each (I'll yield the point on my supposed win last nweek
because the Baron did a much cleaner job anyway)? And repealing the 'players
may not win' rule?

E was 'Wonko May Not Vote' at the time...

Immididately? You mean, Immediately, perhaps?

That last sentence is irrelevant - since the rules were changed so that
actions taken while the Clock was Off would take effect when it came back
on, they'll all happen anyway once the emergency is past.
