Proposal: Achilles v Tortise [TriviaI]

We've created a contradiction in the ruleset involving victory, fainting, and saboteurs. Rule 11 reads:

11 - Oxygen

Nadil-5's atmosphere has an unusually high oxygen content, and it builds up in the blood of the Crew Members. There is a number called Saturation, which is tracked on the Sidebar; Saturation begins at 0, and increases by 2 every day at 00:00 GMT. Crew Members whose Health is lower than the Saturation have Fainted; Fainted Crew Members may not Declare Victory.

The Computer never Faints.

But Rule 14 reads:

14 - Sabotage?

The Computer may choose to privately contact one or more Crew Members, informing them that they are Saboteurs. If at any point all Crew Members are Fainted and at least one Crew Member is a Saboteur, then any Saboteur may declare victory, in spite of being Fainted

Even though Rule 14 was obviously written so that it would circumvent rule 11, it doesn't. It's also missing a period. I propose we change rules 11 and 14 to read:

11 - Oxygen

Nadil-5's atmosphere has an unusually high oxygen content, and it builds up in the blood of the Crew Members. There is a number called Saturation, which is tracked on the Sidebar; Saturation begins at 0, and increases by 2 every day at 00:00 GMT. Crew Members whose Health is lower than the Saturation have Fainted; Fainted Crew Members may not Declare Victory except under the conditions stated in Rule 14.

The Computer never Faints.

14 - Sabotage?

The Computer may choose to privately contact one or more Crew Members, informing them that they are Saboteurs. If at any point all Crew Members are Fainted and at least one Crew Member is a Saboteur, then any Saboteur may declare victory, in spite of being Fainted.
