Many of us value that continuity highly, and would consider an attempt to restart the game with different rules unacceptable (this was a large factor in the death of B). Although the ratification bug is very unfortunate, it is almost certain that my emergency proposal will paper over it, so it's not the end of the world (and there is no reason why we can't play "as if" for the next few days; e.g. I intend to initiate VT auctions tomorrow.)
You may argue that after this long, there is probably *some* other reason why the platonic gamestate is wrong, and a few have been proposed over the years. But we try our best.

If you start another game, there's a discontinuity. However, as we've > seen, this continuity is rather illusory.
