Re: [s-d] [s-b] Bums



For the unbelievers, B rules just patched for this very sort of thing: "Any player ... may remove their own Ordained Property" did not contain the word "own" a couple nweeks ago.

There's hope yet: "Whenever an entity becomes a Player, if they [carryover reference to Legal Entities] have less than 100 macks, all THEIR mackerel are destroyed and THEY gain m100." So if another player joins, we all go broke but gain m100, by this interpretation.

"This interpretation" has been called the "retarded monkey school of parsing" but it's still grammatically valid and actionable.

For those not bored yet, other ambiguous Theirs: "Any Human External Force [exhibit A]... may become a player... Any Player can change their [exhibit A's] name".

Ministries: "If there is only one winner [exhibit A], they are the Chosen One for the Ministry.... In the Bidding Period, any Candidate can change their THEIR Wanted Reward".

Ew, this twists things up: "Any Eligible Voter [exhibit A] for a Decision can cast a valid Vote on it as a Game Action. Any Eligible Voter may retract THEIR Vote on a Decision at any time." There goes my m5000.

The Grid: "A Resident [exhibit A] of a $COLOUR Square can amend these Laws... a Player may increment or decrement the Priority of any one Colour on THEIR Resident square by 1."

Health: "All Players [exhibits A thru N] have an amount of Health... When a Player becomes Dead, all THEIR Weapons are transferred to.." and "Any non-Dead Player may ... increase THEIR Health" and others.

Contracts: "A Contract may specify ways ... to become Parties [exhibit A] to it. No Player shall be made a Party to a Contract without THEIR explicit consent"
