[spoon-discuss] No actions?

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My proposal to repeal the rule governing Eclairs failed nearly 
unanimously. I thought I should explain why I want it repealed, before 
reproposing it, and I hope people will vote for it this time, since as 
far as I can tell, the game is over right now, and the only thing 
keeping us in action is the fact that nobody's objected in a public 
forum to anything Dave's said (which is alright, because it's illegal 
to anyway).

It seems to me that nobody can take actions.

By r1638, "If an action is referenced in the rules, but there is no 
statement in the rules defining that action, that action cannot be 
performed."
Every action defined in the rules is undefined, either directly or 
indirectly. For example, nowhere is the manner in which a player may 
Recognize a State of Emergency defined, therefore under r1638 it cannot 
be done; The method by which a player may transfer points from emself 
to another player is defined as "posting to the public forum"; however, 
the act of posting to the public forum is also not defined, and 
therefore cannot be legally performed.

Basically, every action is either an english verb such as 'posting', 
which is defined by the English language but not by the rules and 
therefore is illegal under r1638, or an action defined in the rules in 
terms of other actions that are illegal under r1638. Thus, all actions 
are illegal.


My hope was to remove 1638, wait until ten days after Dave announced 
its removal, and then to point this out, on the grounds that by then 
the Statute would have lapsed and the game could keep going. Since this 
failed, I suspect that the game may now be over.

So, can anyone explain why it shouldn't be?
