If the rule Auctions contains the text “Louis XIV may close any Auction which has been open for at least 48 hours, by performing the following Atomic Action” then change it to read “Louis XIV may close any open Auction which has been open for at least 48 hours, by performing the following Atomic Action”.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Auctions, entitled The Lord Privy:

At any time, a Nobleman may reduce their Power by 2 and make a comment to any closed Auction Post announcing their intention to Petition the Lord Privy.

As soon as possible after a Petition to the Lord Privy has been made, Louis XIV should privately correspond with the Petitioner, detailing in full all bids made on items in the relevant Auction Post.
