Well, it was supposed to read "Rule 1-18".  That's what I get for
trying to write a Refresh Proposal before having any caffeine or
breakfast.

Honestly I don't see this typo as a huge problem, since as it's
written it has no effect and Rule 1-18 arguably itself has no effect;
it describes (vaguely, sure, but it doesn't say the description must
be exacting) a class of actions that includes every action not
described by any other rule.  Since 1-18 is itself a rule, all of
these actions are themselves regulated.  Or not.  Either way Rule 1-2
explicitly regulates every change to the gamestate so those actions
allowed by 1-18, if any, aren't part of the game.

The ratification takes place after the addition of points; the
instructions should be followed in order.

This is redundant, but ideally the ratification should have no effect
whatsoever on the gamestate, so it was my intention to explicitly make
any changes to the gamestate to make it what I think it should be
refreshed to, then make a sweeping ratification that causes any
changes we're not aware of missing because our Public Displays may
(or, hopefully, may not) be out of sync with the Platonic gamestate.
