[s-b] cfi


Okay, I was just kidding before.  Here is the updated version of the CFI:

{{
__DQT and the English Language__

Plaintiff: The Voice

Defendant: Dyslexic Q-Thief

Statement: The purchases of (10^100 - 2) sentry guns, a Capacitors, an
Advanced Targeting, a Shield Overload, and Steam Tower Upgrade

Analysis by Plaintiff: DQT's reasoning was that nowhere in the rules
did it say that players had to pay for add-ons they buy. Buy is
defined by the M-W dictionary as "to acquire possession, ownership, or
rights to the use or services of by payment especially of money ." I
argue that this definition of the English word 'buy,' given that there
is no other definition of the word in the B Nmc Unbrdgd Dctnry,
implies that some sort of financial or monetary compensation is
required to 'buy' something. Therefore, it does not need to be said in
the rules that a player needs to pay for something e buys, and most of
DQT's purchase fails.
}}

This CFI is now /actually/ Open.  Players have until roughly 9:30 EDT
on Thursday to submit eir votes.
