[Spoon-business] Ruling on CFI 1105 |
Statement: Points, shillings, units of raw material, big sticks, balls of wax, athames, piles of kindling, towels, large and small lumps of scrap metal, pinball guns, gnomes, beer cans, alcoholic beverages, shears, cotton sponges, bonus boxes, shares of stock and airspeeders ceased to exist as of the beginning of nweek 24. Analysis: The above objects, within their respective types, are indistinguishable from one another. They are all defined with rules whose Chutzpah is 1. Rule 2 states all game entities must have uniquely identifying names. Therefore, the objects mentioned above did not exist as of the beginning of nweek 24. Ruling: FALSE Analysis: Those objects do have uniquely identifying names: they can be numbered "Glotmorf's Point 1" through "Glotmorf's Point n". The rule doesn't say any object without a uniquely identifying name suddenly disappears, especially when they can be given obvious names. The Grid objects can be named by their Grid square. All that happens is that there must be a way to refer to any one specifically-and there is, by number.

Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The ORDER is in the GRID." -The Principia Discordia <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Jeremy Cook The Goddess Athena mcfoufou@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business
