I submit the following Consultation:

{Were Warrigal's macks destroyed when ehird deregistered?}

Arguments: The rules are silent on the matter, so by Warrigal's
reasoning a YES answer would be entirely consistent. If he chooses to
ZOT this Consultation because it's obvious which answer is correct,
I'd like him to specify which obvious answer he favors. After all, if
it's NO, then the lack of a rule destroying his macks also means
there's nothing in the rules to destroy ehird's, which would make
w1n5t0n's answer illogical. On the other hand, if the answer is an
obvious YES, that would be consistent with w1n5t0n's judgment - after
all, the rules are silent on what happens to a player's mackerel when
another player deregisters, which means it's perfectly reasonable to
legislate from the bench that they have been destroyed.
