I agree whole-heartedly. My intention here really isn't to bog the game down
and make you do extra work. Perhaps to avoid such unpleasantness a number of
gamestate changes could be made (say, tildex back to how they were, all
drawn color cards replaced with newly drawn regular cards, and the removal
of the CFI) and then we do the whole SOL thing and don't talk about it. And
maybe we should get rid of (or deactivate) good ol' r1903 while we're at it.

I think that this is a reaasonable solution that everyone, assuming that
their niceness supercedes their stick-to-the-rulesitiveness, can agree to.
Except whoops, that means a bunch of people get no cards instead of cards.
But, according to the CFI that never happened, they never were cards at all,
and we just decked ourselves earlier than we thought. Or something. Maybe
another one of the gamestate changes could be to add a second deck, exactly
equal to the one currently entirely contained in our hands. it is kind of a
big change, but this is kind of a big mess we're in (I just can't _wait_ to
see what happens with all the tomatoes when the clock comes back on....).

In closing, sorry for the inconvenience, but it's not as if you didn't just
steal all the tildex by abusing a poorly worded rule, so I don't feel _that_
bad about it : )
