Re: [s-b] Consultation 45 Answer; Blueprint

[Daniel Lepage <dplepage@xxxxxxxxx>]

I claim the answer to Consultation 45 to be INCONSISTENT.

Monopoly mode was a needless rule because it's built into the very  
notion of a game. The rules of Monopoly don't forbid you from stealing  
money from the bank, or from moving your piece when nobody's looking,  
or even from murdering the other players and proclaiming yourself the  
winner be default. But when you do things outside the rules, you're  
not playing the game anymore. I submit that the gamestate itself  
doesn't change, in this case - you've only changed the representation.

In the case of our game, this means you can proclaim blueprints all  
you want, but since the game doesn't specifically permit you to create  
blueprints, no blueprint is actually created.



But just in case, I evict Wooble from the game and destroy the  
blueprint for the Staff of Winning, because nothing says I can't.

Of course, if Wooble declared his own ruling INCONSISTENT, then I  
suppose he'd still be in the game :-D
