Well, I'm going to argue for this scam, since I'm the one who tried
it. :)

Sure it can be. If it would be legal for one to take the Game Action
as specified (and it is), and the assertion would be true at that
time, then the actions occur. It can be determined with finality and
certainty whether the actions succeed: we just have to try them in
order to see. Rule 1-7 doesn't say that we have to know whether or not they
will succeed before we try them. And besides, how could one predict
the future anyway?

I was afraid something like this might happen when I wrote the
transaction rule, it just hadn't occurred to me until recently that
the key was in exploiting actions with random chance.
