[Spoon-business] CFI -- Wonko Can't Vote


I make the following CFI:

Statement:

Wonko's votes for nweek 23 are not valid.

Analysis:

Wonko was cursed by the Witch Gremlin.  Per Rule 256.B.2, this means Wonko could not legally vote until the following nweek.  Wonko's claim that Rule 15, which says, "Players may vote", takes precedence over Rule 256.B.2 is invalid, since rules taking precedence over other rules only occurs if the rules conflict, as per Rule 33.  Since Rule 10, which states, "All game entities and the Administrator must abide by all the Rules in effect, in the form in which they are in effect", indicates the intent is for the rules to work together when possible, a specific-situation prohibition such as Rule 256.B.2 does not conflict with a general-case permission such as Rule 15; the specific-situation prohibition merely serves to qualify the general-case permission.  Players, after all, may still vote, as long as, among other things, they're not cursed by the Witch Gremlin.

Defendant:

Wonko
