Depends on your definition of "survive".  One scam I tried once, when
I was patching a rule "honestly", was to delete a single 'not' which 
would have given the first person who realized it supreme power (side 
note: I was the assessor at the time; scam was spotted).  -G.

In the dream, it was only as it related to their own actions, but that sounds 
very difficult to correctly define. I guess we could just leave it vague and 
let CFJs sort it out.

And yes, it definitely sounds interesting, that's why I mentioned it.

I suggest we implement the form that was found in your dream: for
$currency, a player can suspend some part of a rule (for the whole
game or only as it relates to their actions?) for a while. It sounds
more interesting than a communal thing, and lord knows we need some
help getting an economy going.
