Re: [s-b] Consultation 2


I answer Consultation 100 No.

>From Rule 18:

Consultations are Game Documents that contain a Question

Consultation 99 did not contain a Question; rather, it contained a series of English words that do not form a coherent structure when arranged in the manner in which Wooble arranged them.  Therefore, Consultation 99 was not a Consultation, and could not have been used to achieve a Win by Paradox.

This is Consultation #100. I assign it to Priest Codae.
