Honestly, I think the charm is starting from scratch with a blitz. And it may be moot, if in this blitz there's a lot of frantic endplay including attempts to make the game Undecidable, it might be better to just laugh at what remains on the table rather than try to reconstruct it next year. I think a better way might be to: (1) make the full week leading up to the Birthday an Agoran holiday, so nothing else is going on; (2) write in the holiday Rule that we are encouraged to send a message to all Agorans past and future to suggest a round of something. -G.
