baf as a player is in the game, but the current Rule 5 prevents the game 
from having any effect on real-world concerns like, in my example, money. I 
don't think that the argument that we could pass a rule adding it to the 
gamestate is valid here, as by that argument none of the initial rules 
count for anything since they can all be altered.

To be honest, I'm not overly bothered about this, but I thought I ought to 
point out that we are losing something if we remove Rule 5. I'm suspecting 
that in practice this is unlikely to be an issue, so remove it if you like.
