[s-b] Playing a Card of DOOM! should always give 15 points

[pete+bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Peter Cooper Jr.)]

I submit the following CFI:

{{
Defendant: Wonko

Statement: When Peter played eir Card of DOOM! on nweek 80 nday 3, e
gained 15 points.

Plaintiff's argument: The text on Card of DOOM! doesn't state that the
normal action doesn't occur if the required cards are not
chosen. Other cards (such as Greater Booty and Petty Theft) state that
something happens "instead" of the normal action if the normal
conditions aren't meant. Here without the use of the word "instead" or
something similar, one would follow Card of DOOM!'s instructions in
order, just like any other card. The card-player chooses cards. The
chosen cards, if any, are discarded. The card-player gains 15
points. Then, if not all cards were chosen, more stuff happens
(namely, the random devouring of the card-player's hand, followed by
other players' hands).

Wonko, would you care to assign a judge?
