Move the dynastic rule “Bounties” to become a subrule of “Lacunaic Actions”.
As it is, it’s unclear whether or not Josh will be able to pay out his Bounty, because Lacuna started too early to make it possible and it’s unclear whether the Bounty Payout action is fully dynastic or not. This change makes it Lacunaic, making it unambiguously possible to perform it.
Ah – I missed that it had been paid out already.
I don’t know whether that was illegal or not, and was hoping to not have to work it out. I’m leaning towards thinking that it was probably legal, on the basis that “Bounty Payout” is not defined only in the dynastic rules (as a building block rule specifies a default Bounty Payout action), but am not sure that that’s correct.
I’ll defer to Josh to decide whether or not this is worth having, since he’d be the one posting Bounties anyway. It feels like a moot point now.
I doubt that there will be further bounties, but in case there are, I’ll also defer my vote to Josh.

I think Josh already closed and paid out the only Bounty that was posted. If you feel that should have been illegal, this would need to uphold that payout that already occurred.
