See, this wasn't even a scam. It seems to me that this is the first
entirely scamless Win I've seen - he just did it with Charm instead of
Points.

(Incidentally, when the heck did we pass that rule?)

And about a warning before a Win - what good would that do? The whole
point is that the game is reset and everyone's on an equal footing. What
would selling stuff accomplish? Is there some way you can keep your
wealth after a reset? If so, that's a flaw.
