spoon-business: Troops shall not be quartered without consent

["Alex Truelsen" <a_skywalker85@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, so Word screws up quotation marks and apostrophes. Replace the 
entirety of my last amendment to this infernal proposal with the following 
ARG-delimited text:

ARG
     A few days pass?
     "Wonko CFJ?d? You can?t be serious!"
     "It?s all over the news, Baron. If this CFJ is judged true, half the 
Gremlins in Bville wink out of existence."
     "The half created by me, the Voice, and Wonko, that is."
     "Yes, sir."
     "All right, I?ll get right on it. Have Andre meet me in the conference 
room."
     "Yes, sir."
     15 minutes later, Andre, legal council to Baron von Skippy, met er 
employer for an emergency meeting.
     "Well, Andre, what do you have for me?"
     "Baron, it doesn?t look good. Any Judge in eir right mind would have 
to decide TRUE for this one."
     "I thought I had saved Copper by making him Idol-compliant," the Baron 
muttered angrily. "So, what hoops must I jump through to save him now?"
     "Well, Baron, I?ve been looking at the ruleset, and I think I?ve found 
the solution." The Baron grimaced slightly at the memory of that failed 
proposal and attempt at haiku. "Oh, sorry, sir. Anyway, here it is."

Delete the third paragraph of Rule 293.

[[
     "That?s it?"
     "Well, sir, that?s the trouble part, the part that reads 'Any rule 
which creates a gremlin which directly affects players must also amend this 
rule to specify how that gremlin would affect the player with the Idol.' 
Without it, this problem disappears."
     "But without it, how will Gremlins be Idol-compliant?"
     "It will be assumed that the holder of the Idol is immune to all 
effects of that Gremlin, unless the effects have been specified by an 
amendment to Rule 293. Such amendments will be at the creator?s discretion."
     "Can it actually work?"
     "Oh, yes, sir, and it clears up this major problem. If we send it off 
soon enough, we can save Copper this nweek, a nice side bonus."
     The Baron leaned back, a smile spreading across his face. "Good work, 
Andre. Fire it off, and we'll see if we can?t resolve this little problem 
before it erupts into another wave of riots."
     Andre did so, and left the room and BvS looking pensively out of the 
conference room's windows at Bville outside.

                                           Not so cheery,
                                                BvS
