[s-b] A Statement of the Gamestate

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, in my capacity as Adept and therefore de facto minister of damn 
near everything, I'm going to make a bunch of statements about the 
state of the game, based on my interpretation of recent events. I'll 
wait two ndays for anybody to object to any of this; after that, I'm 
going through and making sure that all the public displays are updated 
with THIS gamestate.

Note that I'm asserting that this is the current gamestate as of this 
message - there's no need to object to things on the grounds that 'they 
won't be true next checking period' or anything like that.


First, the rules:
The only change legitimately made to the rules besides those caused by 
proposals was my modification of r699, which now has the text "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."

The other attempted rule-changes were illegal: nobody seems to have 
mistaken Personman's actions for legal actions, Rodney's 'KLC' attempt 
was either an illegal attempt to create something or simply a false 
statement about the gamestate, and Zarpint's Taxly Evasive Scam 
overlooks the clause in the societies rule that says societies may only 
take actions that the rules say they can.



Next, the cards:
The Useless card isn't really a card, as per my ruling of Personman's 
CFI.
The color cards wouldn't be cards, except that I forced them into being 
through a scam, and distributed them properly. They now have the Images 
I gave them.
The list of hands on the website is up-to-date as of when I send this 
message.


Then, the vines and tomatoes:
Every player has a Vine.
Personman has 4 tomatoes. E can throw any of them, even ones that other 
players hold; but he has to have one in order to throw somebody else's, 
and every throw destroys one of eirs, not one of the target's, so e 
can't give one to me and then throw it at everybody. Nobody is stained. 
No cards are stained.


And Tildex:
This is where it was at the beginning of the nweek, plus a few 
watering/weeding changes and a judgment or two; no scams this nweek.
Note that Zarpint probably wants to take back about half eir Research 
to avoid getting Taxed, and a bunch of people haven't paid 
watering/weeding, for what it's worth (Here's to alliteration :) )


Points:
The Roster shows up-to-date points. (Zarpint's "have the society give 
me a thousand" failed; see above)


Finally, Justice:
The rules no longer say anywhere that CFIs get id numbers, so I'm going 
to just start assigning them arbitrarily. Specifically, I'm going to 
give each one a number one higher than the previous one, starting with 
the first one that didn't get a number. This does mean further breaking 
Dave's policy of 'each document gets its own number' by giving some 
CFIs numbers that are also held by both proposals and rules.
	But that's not a big deal - they're in separate ministries now.



If anyone out there feels that I've overlooked something, done 
something wrong, or interpreted something badly, you have two ndays to 
either convince me of the error of my ways or CFI it; any later than 
that and I may not be able to reprocess all actions again. And I'll be 
really pissed off if I have to.
