Proto:
Amend Rule 1698 (Agora Is a Nomic) by appending:
Upon a judicial finding, not appealed for 2 weeks, that a specified
game change that took effect in the 2 weeks preceding the CFJ has
made it practically IMPOSSIBLE to make or adopt such rule changes/
proposals in this time frame by any remotely reasonable method,
that change is so cancelled. Such a finding is appropriate if and
only if the specified game change that would be cancelled is
specified clearly, unambiguously, and as minimally as reasonably
possible to remove the impossibility.
[The Platonic cancellation is still there in 1st paragraph as a
failsafe if judicial system breaks too. This pragmatic version
includes some boundaries for reasonableness; e.g. if a rule change
could happen by requiring everyone to deregister, maybe that's a
wholly unreasonable (not remotely reasonable) method].
