Well, I'm only talking about one nweek.  And in fact in this case only
Peter has to agree - he's the rule tag administrator.  I'm just saying
that yes, we need to propose a change, but I still think if Peter
agrees we could play this week.

Well, obviously - that *is* the whole point of the game.

My statement wasn't meant as an apologia for a poorly worded ruletag
prop - although I should point out that I had the thing posted on
spoon-discuss for over an nweek and no-one else spotted it either.

::shrug:: if someone makes a mistake in a proposal then it bites us
*all* on the arse, friend.  Not me especially.  I mean, a nice turn of
phrase, but not entirely sure what you are trying to say here.
