Add a new dynastic rule:

If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if by the Judge’s best reasoning, not overruled, a move appears equally legal and illegal, then the first player unable to complete a turn is the winner.

This rule takes precedence over every other rule determining the winner.

against Since BlogNomic has no way to “complete a turn”, then everyone’s a winner.

@Kevan: It applies iff “the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if by the Judge’s best reasoning, not overruled, a move appears equally legal and illegal”. We can amend it before then.

But it in no way defines what “completing a turn” is. If we go with common English usage, there are various easy ways for a player to get into a real-life position where they are “unable to complete a turn”.

Yes, but we’ll amend it before a paradox has a chance to occur.
