The Emergency Procedure applies to all PEPs, not just those who hit their
Panic Buttons. All PEPs need to agree on an Emergency Coordinator and
Forum to use.

Well, I was trying to deal with the case where we didn't know who the
current players were, either because of server failure or because we
accidentially broke the game horribly with our changes. (The main reason I
destroyed all players in my Tweak for this reset was because we didn't
have a player list.)

It wasn't a ploy at all. I just figured we need something to deal with the
Utter Chaos that is inevitable in the game of B Nomic, and threw this
together. If you can come up with a better solution, please propose it.
I've got no vested interest in this particular proposal, I just wanted us
to put together something.

I don't intend to take over the game while I'm the Administrator, as
that'd take all the fun out of it. :)
