Depending upon precisely HOW literally one wishes to interpret this rule, it
may well be mathematically impossible ever to pass another ballot. There
probably have been thousands of votes cast between (whenever this was
active) and (now), such that without some clever player-cloning scheme no
one ballot will ever earn enough affirmative votes to overcome several years
of inertia.

I suggest that interpretation be selectively ignored.

Anyone have handy links to the rules as of (whenever that was), and rough
dates? I'll try to dig through the list archives a bit, to see what might be
going on. Assuming the above rule is from nweek1 of the Third Era, it's
possible (though unlikely) that one (but probably only one) ballot from
nweek1's voting passed, making things even more bananas.
