A Time Drop is a means for automatically collecting and revealing information that is to remain secret for a time, after which it is to be made public. All the information collected in one Time Drop must become public at the same time.
A Time Drop should be able to:
1. Accept "deposits" of secret information from any player or a subset of the players. 2. Store that information reliably. 3. Automatically reveal all the deposits made to it to the public forum once its contents are no longer secret.
The Administrator is not necessarily expected to provide a Time Drop implementation, but if he does so, he is expected to inform the players that he has done so. If a rule depends on a Time Drop implementation, but none is available, then that rule is not in effect.
