Re: [s-d] Invalid Refresh Proposals ?

["Geoffrey Spear" <geoffspear@xxxxxxxxx>]

I say it's ambiguous at worst, and can be retroactively changed and/or
accepted as within the spirit of the rules in a Consultation after the
Emergency is over.

In any event, it's certainly impossible under the rules for a Pondered
Consultation to come into effect while the Pause is still ongoing
saying that the questionable Ballot I'm going to distribute is
illegal; having the Answer become Pondered is dependent on ntime and
as such is postponed.

It occurs to me that we should have formed a military before
considering declaring war on Agora, since:
a. we'd be a lot more likely to win a war with a military, and
b. The Minister of Defense could declare Martial Law.
