Glotmorf's action was legal? How odd... This must be some strange usage of
the word 'legal' of which I have previously been unaware... For certainly,
eir action was forbidden by the ruleset. Nowhere does it say, "players may
take emselves off the Grid at will by saying so". But somewhere does it say,
"players may not change the gamestate". Unless that sentence means something
completely different from what I believe it does, I'm afraid that Glotmorf
did not, in any way, jump off the grid.

Have a nice flight.
