Add the following to the bulleted list in the rule titled Teacher Training:

On or after 10 October 2012, the ruleset contains no achievable mechanism by which a Student may potentially achieve victory.

A good idea, but I’m not sure we could ever confirm this kind of negative - we can’t ever know if we’ve overlooked a potential scam buried in the core rules.

More trivially, the ruleset always contains the mechanism of “make a proposal saying that you have achieved victory”.

Ah, fair point. What if it specified the dynastic rules?

Even then we’re having to prove a negative. Probably safer to make it subjective and have it judged by a quorum of players.
