Dammit, I knew I'd fluff that up. I missed out the important sentence I
knew I really had to include. Fortunately, I think there's an out.
The new Rule 18, Imperious Emperor declares that I can make any change to
the gamestate I desire. This conflicts with Rule 2, Mutability of the
Rules, which says that the rules can't change except when a Consensus of
Opinion exists, and I forgot to put in an overriding clause, so the rules
contain an unresolvable conflict.
However, I believe I should still definitely be allowed to make changes to
the gamestate *not* affecting the rules. Since the List of Voters now
definitely *is* an entity existing within the game, I can change it. So, I
remove evryone except me from the List of Voters. Then I propose, consent
to and issue a pink Notice of Consensus for the following proposal:
Append the sentence 'This rule takes precedence over Rule 2,
Mutability of the Rules' to Rule 18, Imperious Emperor.
That done, I restore the List of Voters to what it was before I sent this
email. Conflict resolved.
I'm not updating any of this onto the website just yet, since I thought I'd
see if anyone finds fault with my coup first. If they don't, of course, I'm
slacking in my duty as Minister of Freedom; sorry about that.
