 Are you sure that each player has satisfied this Winning Condition at
 most once?  I seem to remember there was a legitimate duplicate win by
 ais523/coppro though not which method it was.

There was, it was exploiting a bug in the cleanup condition for
Solitude. (Nothing to do with dictatorships.)

 Arguments:
 
 This is a classical case of the Paradox of Self-Amendment. The rule says 
 that If any change to the gamestate would cause ... any change in the 
 effect or attributes of this rule ... including its repeal ... it is 
 cancelled and does not occur. but also that If this rule already fails 
 to have its full effect due to a rule, that rule is repealed. Does this 
 mean that the rule would cause its own repeal because it prevents itself 
 from taking full effect? Since this clause comes later in the rule, it 
 should take precedence (by Rule 2240), which would cause its own repeal.

I remember making a similar argument in IRC; the potential rule
contradicts itself as to whether or not it affects itself, and the
contradiction causes it to repeal itself.

 CoE: This report neither lists me as a player nor lists the purported
 deregistration that would have needed to have occurred were I not a
 player.  It is either an incorrect self-ratifying statement that I'm
 not a player, or an ILLEGAL report violating R2139's requirement to
 include the dates on which I registered and deregistered (in which
 case I lack the standing to make both this then-incorrect CoE and to
 publish an NoV.)

 Per the above evidence (and acting on Wooble/Annabel's request; I'll use
 the name Wooble in this message, as it's the name that should have
 been listed in the report), I NoV against Yally for violating the
 power-1 rule 2143 by either publishing inaccurate or misleading
 information about Wooble's registration status, or failing to publish
 full information about Wooble's registration history. (Luckily, both
 these are violations of the same rule, so I don't need to know which
 occurred; it seems reasonably obvious that at least one of them did,
 given that Wooble's reregistration on March 21 2010 is as far as I know
 uncontested, but unlisted in the report.)

 Evidence:

A simple CoE would have sufficed. I don't see a particular need for
excessive punishment for an honest mistake during an extremely busy
time for me.

 I call for judgement on the statement Rule 101 is greater than rule
 2029.
 
 Evidence: Excerpt from Rule 2141: Rules have ID numbers, to be assigned
 by the Rulekeepor, and are strictly ordered.
 
 Arguments: The power-3 rule 2141, by insisting that rules are strictly
 ordered, implies that it's possible to have a meaningful
 less-than/greater-than comparison between them. However, nothing in the
 ruleset seems to imply what the ordering actually /is/: precedence?
 power? ID number? order of enactment? something else? It's rather lucky
 that the relevant bit of gamestate is currently completely irrelevant,
 or we'd have major headaches trying to figure out just what that
 platonic order is.

Gratuitous:  Rule 2161, the only other rule to use the phrase strictly
ordered, implies that the ordering is determined by ID number, which
SHALL match order of ID number assignment, which in turn SHALL roughly
match order of enactment (the definition of ASAP allows some variance).

 I object. And why? At the very least, Andon has been registered for
 two months and has yet to take a single game action.

So the Registrar agrees that I'm a player; if I'm not, there was no

No. I'm just trying to avoid the possibility that you are a player and
that I am thus deactivated.
