In the Rule entitled “Corporations”, change the text
All Corporations have 100 Shares, which may belong to the Market or to Investors.
to
All Corporations have 100 Shares, which may belong to the Market, to Investors or to Idle Investors.
This way, an Investor who goes idle doesn’t require extra bookkeeping or cause the number of shares in existence to temporarily be less than 100.
The number of Shares they have shouldn’t change while they’re idle; this fix just makes the “All Corporations have 100 Shares” statement true even if shareholders go idle, so there’s no conflict.
The passage you quote in no way forbids the rules from assigning gamestate information to idle Investors; it’s just that there are usually rules like “All Investors have a Currency value” that don’t affect idle Investors because “For the purposes of the Ruleset, excluding Rules 1.1, 1.2, 1.8 and 1.10, Idle Investors are not counted as Investors”.
5 Shares says that this rule is involved in the win for this dynasty.

William:
“he Investor’s personal gamestate retains the values it had immediately prior to their going Idle. If one or more values would be undefined, it is set to the value new Investors receive, if such a value exists.”
To me, this implies that the gamestate of idle investors is not gamestate while they are idle, ergo, they cannot own shares while idle
