I'm hoping this will work on a smaller scale, though - with the current 
number of players, it's theoretically possible for over forty moves to 
be made before the Statute lapses. Also, in this particular case with 
my Penny, somebody actually pointed out to spoon-business that my move 
was illegal, though nobody noticed that this invalidated another move. 
So my move was illegal despite the statute of limitations.

Also note that the current statute of limitations doesn't really apply 
to things like the BoardGame and PGo, since there aren't regular 
Ministry reports for them.
