Could lead to some interesting time paradoxes, too (given that changing the gamestate as though the message were sent at some other time than the time the message was actually sent could potentially change the timing at which the message self-ratifies, leading it to maybe self- ratify multiple times). I'm not sure if there's any situation that's outright broken, but it's confusing to think about. -- ais523
