Re: [s-d] One final clarification

[Jake Eakle <jseakle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's something that i think got brought up a while ago, but which never
was fully resolved. That is the fact that Orange isn't a card. Niether is
Apple White or any of the others defined by There is a rainbow. They simply
do not fit the definition of what a card is as defined by r1726.A This rule
states:

There exist Game Objects called Cards. Each Card consists of a Name, an
Image, and a Body.

While the color words may be construed to be names, and the bodies may be
(and are) blank, there is no picture. In fact, none of these cards actually
_are_ the color of their names.

Because of this, i would maintain that r1903 failed to create anything
whatsoever, which would in turn mean that everyone drew the wrong cards last
nweek, and that no one ever laid down anything, ever. Unless someone can
come up with a convincing argument against this, I guess I'll be submitting
a CFI soon as I get the chance to look into the proper procedure and all.
(Lots of homework right now)
