Woah, it's tournament time!

I made some adjustments to the highest number game, focusing more on
strategy than trying to come up with enormous numbers. Please let me
know what you think! I'll hold off on initiating if anyone tells me
to. I intend, without 3 objections, to initiate a sanctioned
tournament, promulgating the following Tournament Regulation:
The idea overall seems very nice. Only word of caution I would propose
would be restricting the set of allowed numbers, but that seems to be
handled quite elegantly already!
If bidding would begin for the 4th time, instead the party or parties
with the most tokens win the tournament.
The phrasing on this feels like it may be masking what the actual intent
is. Perhaps something like:
{
At the end of the third week in which revealing began, the party or
parties with the most tokens win this tournament, and this tournament ends.
}
could better get the intent across? (If I understand correctly, this
shouldn't cause issues, since the leader is granted tokens "immediately
before the end of the week".)

DIS: [Stonemason] Sortition notice
I will not be becoming an option in the ongoing Stonemason sortition. Anybody who wants to be Stonemason should feel free to do so. If the sortition does not select a new Stonemason, I will resign after P9136 (presumably) passes. -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason

Yeah, the 'offices' table in the database doesn't track how recently an office was created (it's available in the event history, but pulling it from there would be more involved). Since this is a short-term situation per office, I just updated the boilerplate text below the list.
