In “Equity”, replace
A Nomicer’s Equity can have any integer value between -10 and twice their Liability, inclusive.
with:-
A Nomicer’s Equity can have any integer value between -10 and 200 inclusive. If a Nomicer’s Equity would be increased above twice their Liability, it is instead set to twice their Liability.
Something strange is going to happen once a player’s Equity is at twice their Liability and we try to decrease the Equity of (or just idle) another player, because doing so will mean that first player’s Equity now holds an invalid value.
And the ruleset doesn’t seem to say how to handle that situation - it falls outside of both “the action would change one or more of those values to an illegal value” and “the rules that define a game variable are amended, and some previously valid values become invalid as a consequence”.
This sort of thing comes up rarely enough that it probably doesn’t need a core rules fix.
