Re: [s-b] [s-d] Voting Results for nweek 139, Part 2

Whoops.  That was the intention, at least.

I submit the following Proposal, entitled "The Rapier is gone":
{
In Rule 11, replace
{
When created, the Value of an Instance is its Attribute's Default Value
}
with
{
When created, or when the Value of the Instance cannot be determined by other Rules, the Value of an Instance is its Attribute's Default Value
}
Set the gamestate to what it would be if the above change had occured one nweek ago.
}

Codae

How do you know this?

"All Players are Potential Sockholders. The Company is a Potential
Sockholder. Nothing is a Potential Sockholder unless so explicitly
specified in the Rules."

When Antonio left, he clearly ceased to be a potential sockholder.

"There exists an Attribute called "Sockholder" with a Scope of all
Socks, a Range of all Potential Sockholders, and a Default Value of
the Company."

Those two socks Antonio held no longer had a sockholder as of the time
he left. But does that mean their sockholder attribute automatically
switched to the default value (the company)? I don't think that's
necessarily the case.

4E11 only says "When created, the Value of an Instance is its
Attribute's Default Value, unless otherwise specified." It doesn't say
anything about what happens to the attribute when the instance (and
its value) has already been created but its current value ceases to be
part of the range...
