spoon-discuss: Re: spoon-business: RFJ's

Not that it will make a difference, but I'm not sure the deadline can be 
suspended. The deadline is put forth in the rules, and you're asking a judge 
to violate that...
As for the "spirit" of the rules, I think what is more important in Nomic is 
the "letter" of the law.  If such technicalities were not considered, only 
what was intended by the rules, then the game would lose a lot of its fun. 
PurpleBob was able to manipulate the rules (fool you all) in such a way as 
to win, and that is really where a lot of the interest in the game comes 
from.  Besides not making sense in this case, for a judge to rule in your 
favor there would set a really bad precident...
