Thinking about it,, the 5th era emergency rule at that point had been refined by testing in several emergencies and the rule I proposed is a lot less broken than the current emergency rule. It provides the flexibility to deal with any type of emergency:

*It stops game time, even including wtime, so actions cannot be carried out while everyone is distracted with the emergency

*It has constant evaluation of when an emergency should be started so if the clock is broken, the emergency can still be started

*It has an active anti-emergency option of trusting to stop a small group of paranoid players from freezing the game

*It uses the public forum, preventing ting forums inaccessible to some players from being used but still provides an option for designating a new forum if the public forum is inaccessible

*It allows more emergencies to be stared alongside the first if it gets stuck or the players are not happy with the emergency coordinator

*It has ranked voting, allowing one option to be chosen (unlike points of order)

*It allows for revising refresh proposals, in case a mistake is made (unlike 4th era RPs)

*It allows the emergency to be ended if something goes wrong or if the problem is fixed another way, preventing the emergency from continuing when a scam is attempted (e.g. the cenobiarch RP)

I don't see the brokenness in that...

I'll change that, I forgot about P2003. I'll be less specific with serial numbers in future.
