Re: [s-d] [s-b] Cracking the Safe of J's Holding Company

["Jamie Dallaire" <bad.leprechaun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bah... Could someone summarize what just happened for me, with particular
emphasis on any elements that are relevant to the MoS???

Here's my reading of it: ehird creates a Contract to which only he is a
party, and the Contract bestows an unrealistic obligation upon him. He must
post passphrases which he does not know.

This doesn't automatically cause him to post these passphrases, because 4E70
says "When a Player becomes obligated to perform an unambiguous Game Action
by a Contract [...]". Posting a passphrase to the Public Forum does not, to
my knowledge, constitute a Game Action anymore than does yelling CREAMPUFF.

In addition, the Contract's obligation only applies to Lame parties, and
there is no indication whether ehird started out as Lame or Cool. For all we
know, ehird was Cool when he created the Contract, and it promptly ceased to
exist (and ehird also left J's Holding Company).

j then modified his Holding Company to obligate himself and the two
Corporations who parties to the Holding Company to transfer all eir macks to
j.

J automatically did so, effectively reversing his earlier move and opening
the door for his transaction (awarding m50 to whoever pulled that Vote for
Wooble then vote for someone else trick in Werewolves in one hour) to
succeed unless j gets rid of his mack again. Any socks transferred too? I
don't know.

As per the Holding Company's obligation, j left that Contract. The
Corporations are still there. j's Holding company is alive and well.

Then ais523 uttered some mumbo jumbo that flew way over my head.

Then ehird had a fit.

Then j rebuffed him.

Then ehird said he was sorry.

Then everyone danced.

Did I miss anything?
