Also... if intents are truly broken, that could lead to a lot of havoc in the 
gamestate. It would be potentially impossible to sort out. 

Maybe the fix legislation could say something like, “upon enactment of this 
proposal, the gamestate is changed to be what it would have been if the list 
had always been written the correct way.”  Not sure how to make that language 
work, but that would be the general idea. 

If it worked right, that would eliminate the below scam and also make sure 
nothing else is broken because of this intent issue.
