I think we should just be careful with winning conditions, and any winning 
condition which allows someone to win on the basis of score, etc., should 
include a clauce causing the scores to be reset when someone wins. If we 
allow wins by paradox, we should allow the winner to make any changes to 
the game they desire, provided that they resolve the paradox and do not 
immediately win again once the play resumes.

This is not, as yet, a formal proposal.

Nah. If the same player can win twice in succession for two entirely 
unrelated reasons, more power to 'em.
