When an artefact is contained, the effects become flavor text. So what happens if The Attendant gets contained? If they were holding an artefact/had something in their collection what happens to it?
“An Individual who has a choice in whether to take an action defined by a dynastic rule may not take that action if both of the following conditions are true: a) the action’s effects are limited to changing values tracked in gamestate-tracking entities (such as a wiki page), and b) the action would change one or more of those values to an illegal value.” would kick in and make the Containing action illegal. Would be better if we had a clause that covered it properly - I think Josh proposed something but it was rejected for tangential reasons.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

Josh: Observer he/they
In terms of the former, I guess it becomes inert - just another contained artefact. The latter case doesn’t seem to have a use case defined right now.
