Here's how I'm claiming I'm winning:
*Societies can modify their charters.
*I have a society that does what I say it does.
*My society modifies its charter to make me omnipotent, but at this point 
this is a do-nothing as it is not a rule.
*My society modifies its charter to be a rule.
*Now that the charter both makes me omnipotent and is a rule, I am 
omnipotent.
*With my omnipotency, I close the loophole and get myself a win.

Wonko's takeover failed (pending his statement otherwise) because he didn't 
have any way to modify a charter; I did.
Glotmorf's takeover failed because he tried to get a charter to do 
something, when charter don't themselves have the power to do anything.  He 
could have set it up so that his charter did have that power, and set it up 
to where he could control that power, but he didn't.
And your anti-takeover takeover failed because you did not give your charter 
the actual force of rule it needed.  That, and the fact that if I won, I 
already closed the loophole.
