Re: [s-b] A win and a loophole.

[The Voice <voiceofnomic@xxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following CFI:

{{ __DQT and the English Language__

Plaintiff: The Voice
Defendant: Dyslexic Q-Thief

Statement: The purchases of 100 fort sections, 10^100 sentry guns, a
Capacitors, an Advanced Targeting, a Shield Overload, and Steam Tower
Upgrade made by DQT fail because e did not have enough genechips.

Analysis by Plaintiff:  DQT's reasoning was that nowhere in the rules
did it say that players had to pay for add-ons they buy.  Buy is
defined by the M-W dictionary as "to acquire possession, ownership, or
rights to the use or services of by payment especially of money ."  I
argue that this definition of the English word 'buy,' given that there
is no other definition of the word in the B Nmc Unbrdgd Dctnry,
implies that some sort of financial or monetary compensation is
required to 'buy' something.  Therefore, it does not need to be said
in the rules that a player needs to pay for something e buys, and
DQT's purchase fails.

This CFI is recognized, and is now Open.
