Yeah, that one didn't break any rules at all, it was by design. The thing about this one is that it moved for the win condition and included resetting voting power, so was very hard to undo - just creating one card as an example would be a reason for DISCHARGE. (I'm not sure if the fact that it didn't work should be a mitigating factor, looking over in ##nomic I don't think coppro failed on purpose). -G.
