game: let the forum print a ruler for a player without one

The forum floor cannot be left until the Elder is beaten, and with the drawer at 1 in 4 and no shop after the hotel, a rulerless player with modest girth was nearly always banned guessing among 21 offsets. Each live thread read there now rolls 1 in 3 for a printable ruler.
