I think you're right about being able to modify rules, etc. I also 
think you meant r10/4, not 11/4 (11/4 defines rulebooks). However, 
r10/4 says that proposals and actions may not suppress rules; it says 
nothing about other rules. Indeed, to claim that r27 has effect despite 
being deactivated is to suppress rule 1085, which asserts that 
deactivated rules have no effect.

So unless somebody challenges your actions, I would say you now have 
1000 points but cannot Win with them.

I'll put this in the 'pending events' queue and deal with it in a day 
or two if nobody challenges you.


Man, that queue keeps getting longer and longer...
