Unless another rule defines another way to start an emergency (while
we're *still in one*), that doesn't really mean much. I mean, if an

A fair position, but one not popular with the B zeitgeist for a few
years before its death. Some of the players *did* exercise their right
to play whatever game they want, but it was in the form of starting a
new one (which quickly fizzled).
