So, if I'm correct, this may be a fairly serious bug, but only if
people do what I did and don't put the date in their self-ratifying
reports.
I think that if a report fails to state when it is true, then when it
is self-ratified, it becomes true at the time that it is ratified,
rather than at the time that it was published.
Take, for example, my old Astronomor report (now fixed). If that were
allowed to self-ratify (at least the asset reports and switch
reports), then since it didn't specify when it was true, then under
the first paragraph of Rule 1551, it would change the gamestate to be
true _as of the time it ratified_.
This would nuke everything between the time that the report was
published and the time that it ratified, and could possibly cause
inconsistencies between the rules and the gamestate (if the rules had
changed since then), which Rule 1551 explicitly prohibits.
Does this look right to everyone else?
Wow I'm blind sorry, disregard this.
