Kevan’s move here: https://blognomic.com/archive/we_forgot_something_core#comments is a bit dubious. I’d argue that even if we weren’t all active players, players who joined after we fixed the synonyms thing at least were. And also were were all active players because that is how the game had been operating.

However, that ultimately doesn’t really matter a whole lot. Even if his attempt was illegal, the intended result was a good one. Also undo his CfJ puts the game into an odd state (where some people would argue no one is active).

With this CfJ, if it turns out his move was legal, then great we’ve already fixed the problem of everyone being idle and so now we can just swap out a paragraph in the rules with its exact duplicate and nothing changes. If it turns out it wasn’t legal, then great there never was a problem of everyone being idle, but we replace the paragraph to remove any possible confusion or doubt. So hopefully now even if we disagree that Kevan’s CfJ was necessary or not, we can agree the core rules are in a consistent state.
