[s-b] And All is Made Right.


Ok, I would say the time is right for a little god-mode loophole I'd been sitting on for a bit...

If there do not exist Cards called 'Red','Green', or 'Indigo', I hereby create the following cards; if they do exist, I modify them to have the following properties:
{{
__Red__

Image: A big red apple.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Orange__

Image: An orange.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Yellow__

Image: A banana.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Green__

Image: A lime.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Blue__

Image: A watermelon that has been dyed sky-blue.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Indigo__

Image: A blueberry.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Violet__

Image: A purple grape.
Body: <no text>
}}

{{
__Apple White__

Image: A bowl of fruit salad.
Body: <no text>
}}

Then I move the cards around in such a way that the current cards page shows accurately what cards people have (this is still showing last nweek's set up).

I cause all players and other objects to cease to be Stained with Tomato juice. I destroy all Tomatoes.

I create four tomatoes in the possession of PersonMan.

I create and destroy tildex as needed so that the current TildexCount Page is accurate.

Then I award myself a Win, and modify r699 to read:

{{
__The Slightly Less Important Not-So Default Case__

Any action is legal if a majority of all Players cannot distinguish it from an otherwise-legal action.
 This rule takes precedence over all other rules except rule 33.

}}

I can do this because the current wording of r699 states "Any action indistinguishable from a legal action by at least one Player is legal." The Voice has not posted in over an nyear, and eir nomic email account seems not to be receiving messages, so I submit that e is not watching the game and thus cannot distinguish my actions from a set of legal actions, so all my actions are legalized by r699.

Moreover, the fact that I'm claiming that I can do these things clearly indicates that *I* also cannot distinguish them from legal actions.

But before people start trying to copy my example and do all kinds of crazy $#!%, note that I've also used the rule's power to modify the rule itself, so the hole no longer exists.

This solves the problem of cards for this nweek, regardless of the outcome of the CFI. This also solves the tomato problem.

NOW the nweek can seriously begin.

It is nweek 72, nday 1.
