Every millisecond for the next nweek: I object to Game Actions attempted by
Player XXX.

Really I'm just being facetious, as he could move to nanoseconds. Your
points are both right. It's currently not failsafe at all. For the first
objection, it is true that this could lead to clock crises, but at least we
could use the emergency (once we realize it's on, tho we might have to mod
the emergency rule to allow for the active phase of it to being 20 rdays in
e.g. once we realize we're in an emergency) to just ratify everything that's
been thought to have been done till then. But you're right, still a major
flaw.

But yeah, I need to modify that proposal severely. Thanks!
