Arguably, a clear enough description of a scam that was capable of forcing through theses, and also of gaining a power-3 dictatorship but with some oddly specific side effects, would be interesting enough to count as a thesis in its own right (unless the loophole is particularly simple or stupid). For what it's worth, the claimed powers of the scam make me suspect it somehow interferes with dependent actions (but in that case, why not go for Win by Apathy?). I've already read through part of the Ruleset for the Week and noticed at least one rather awkward problem in the dependent action rules, but as far as I can tell it wouldn't have the effect described (and most of the resulting brokenness is likely to have ratified away by now; luckily, the specific problem is unlikely to affect Ratification Without Objection). -- ais523
