-Meh. Just as I was having fun, too. Fine, then, allow me to give my brief:

Rule 301 says that a player who is a Toad (or Penguin) may not move of their 
own free will.

Rule 815 (The Force) states that players may spend 8 Force to move a 
carryable object not in the possesion of another player to a legal square up 
to three spaces from that player.

Rule 301 defers to all rules which contradict it.

Given that 301 and 815 clearly contradict each other, that means that 815 
takes precedence over 301 and players may move themselves via the Force.

In addition, players using the Force to lift themselves are not moving of 
their own free will, which is banned by the definition of Toads, but are 
moving of their Force powers, according to the definition of "of" on 
www.m-w.com ("used as a function word to indicate the cause, motive, or 
reason <died /of/ flu>").

Therefore, this CFI is clearly FALSE.

If that doesn't convince the to-be-assigned judge, I can always try 
bribery.-
