Re: [s-d] Emergency Management Procedure

Just loitering, but what happens if there are fewer than 4 players / PEPs?
Also this could be quiet interesting in the style of (a nomic I forget the

I'm also quite interested in the lack of time line thing that's been hinted
at - although that could be a little harder to keep track of.
