What's wrong with that?

It would be helpful if you gave an example of an "issue" in the rule.

The only difference between this and a non-story prop is a bunch of 
comments that have absolutely no effect on the game. Why does that 
influence your votes?

It doesn't matter - they can only use it twice per continuous period 
holding it, so if it doesn't go to somebody else then they can't use it 
again anyway. Also, if one player keeps it for three nweeks, e loses it 
anyway.

And even if that weren't true, then the Stamp would have the bonus 
effect that you could force your own props to fail. Somehow the 
prospect of a guy beating emself up doesn't worry me at all.

Unless you'd like Peter to keep doing everything until he passes out 
from exhaustion. I've seen what happens when a game becomes to 
complicated for its admin (Hell, I've even been that admin). It's not a 
pretty sight, and nine times out of ten it's the end of the game. The 
only reason B Nomic survived was because we'd already started creating 
Ministries by the time it happened.
