Oh, why not, even if it is a blatant rip from Ackanomic.

Aye, I've already chafed that I can't do that.

No, even with the override added (which we aren't allowed to do yet, are 
we?), I still don't like the abuses inherent in twinning far too many 
proposals with each other.

No finality

In the event of someone winning the game then the following occur:

a) They are recognised to have won the game.
b) All gameplay stops, except as mandated by this rule.
c) A new rule is created with the following text:
---
0, No fun here

It is not possible to win the game.  This rule takes precidence over
all other rules.
---
d) If it is possible for play to proceed then gameplay resumes.
e) If it is not possible for play to proceed then the player who won
the game may make whatever changes they wish to the rules for the
purpose of allowing gameplay to continue; except that they may not
change rule 0.
f) Gameplay resumes.

Aye, we can always change it if we do want to allow things to end.
