If the rules use an English-language term and don't define it, the meaning should be inferred. If the rules state that something should happen but don't state how, a mechanism should be inferred, especially if there's an obvious one: for example, the Emergency rule states that the votes shall be tallied and the selected proposal shall take effect; it's obvious that "the selected proposal" is the one that wins according to the tally, as no other interpretation makes nearly as much sense. If you're in the middle of a road, a car is coming, and the rules say "walk to the side of the road", don't stay where you are because the rule doesn't say which side. --Warrigal _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
