I submit the following proposal. Please give feedback, it's a bit important this works correctly.
The basic idea is that the next time someone wins Sets, all of the references to sets are cleanly removed from the rules (except the devices' references because lol). All mechanics, except blots, work post-removal. Blots will have no removal method. I chose to not solve that because there's several ways people may prefer and that can be its own proposal. Proposals will be entirely free and just submitted without a pending system. Another advantage here is that it's pretty easy to work with this system while writing proposals. So this doesn't rely on a specific version of the rules or anything that might break before it's triggered. I plan to pend this tomorrow if no major issues are found. { Title: The End of Sets AI: 3 Author: nix Amend R2621 "VP Wins" by replacing: Then, the winds change, following which each active player gains 1 card of each type and eir grant (if any). with: Then, the winds die down.
