The Grand Chancellor mentioned that e was planning on trying to "restore
the ruleset" like Lindrum did, although hasn't shown it.  (Lindrum's
moves were equally controversial at the time).  

Still, on the second reading, I'm with you all who don't think it actually
happened.  I'm tempted to call on the traitor^H^H^H spy's B-nomic claiming
actions in Agora in Agoran courts to test this from at least one outside view. 

The interesting thing about Lindrum World for the present situation is it 
caused a genuine, axiomatic split in the game.  There were those who believed
Lindrum's seizure was 100% legal, some who believed (and still believe, in 
the case of a friend of mine) that it was 100% illegal.  The two claims were
axiomatic, could be proved self-consistent within their own belief systems,
but there was no "higher truth" to be found.  

Under such circumstances, you end up with two groups playing two games.

In the case of Lindrum World, both sides agreed to take legal steps to
within their own systems to converge on an identical endpoint (a new ruleset) 
while forever disagreeing on how they got there.  Of course, many just quit 
in frustration.
