Yes, I acknowledge that. My action was discussed by other PEPs prior as
a possible solution to this emergency. I put it forth, in the view that
if a majority of players acknowledge a rule or gamestate - then that
gamestate or rule is valid, despite potential rule violations.

Many people play Monopoly with a pot of currency in the center of the
board given to the player who lands on the Free Parking space. That is
specifically prohibited in the rules, but is considered valid gamestate
for those players.
