Proposal: Vive Le Roi

Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, “Louis XIV Powers”:-

The Louis XIV may invalidate any Bid on an open Auction at any time, or close any open Auction with no effect at any time. Bids should only be invalidated in this way if the Louis XIV feels that their bidder is abusing the bidding system in some way.

Per comments on Greater Profligacy, I wouldn’t enjoy this dynasty ending with one rival player producing a chalkboard and explaining why making an infinite number of irrational number bids led to them winning all auctions with a finite debt total of -√2, or something, and the Emperor shrugging apologetically.

In Versailles the Nobles would largely derive their personal wealth from salaries secured from Louis XIV, so this is nicely thematic.
