KOTF OOC Thread

This move has more OOC rule breaks than I care to list.

If anyone wants me to list them, then just ask. I'd even say I'd be able to push TC's legal brain in a corner of legal certainty on this.

The "meaning of the entire rule as understood by the average person" would be my immediate focal point and not the legalise version so prevalent in some parts of the world i.e. USA.

Suffice to say there is more than enough grounds for OK to decline the save if he so wishes.

Therefore it's up to him at this critical point which direction we move in.

IF, he accepts the save, then we do have ourselves a humdinger of an event that would rapidly take most of our time in an emergency session of some magnitude.

IF, he doesn't then he can take the save and move on right now. He's given everyone over 24 hours already so he is well within his rights to simply move forward and let ANYONE do what they want NEXT turn.

-----------------------------

My question is, can we refer to the OOC rules as our IC "charter" as part of the deliberations?

I've never seen anyone other than the Chancellor, Megas, Seneschal move or conduct actions based on Agents in three games. That indicates to me that everyone understands the meaning of the rules in question.

If you want to nit pick and use arguments like "Only" in a sentence, then we will rapidly have ourselves an OOC rule debate that will stop this game in it's tracks. Why, because you will need to do exactly what the US legal system does. That is write a rule of one sentence, and then provide 4 pages of explanation so every single loop hole of language is addressed.

It will get ugly.

-----------------------------

So how about we just get OK to make a call on this?

The only other person I can see here intervening is Zim.

EDIT

Keep in mind the opportunities and actions some of the more medievally minded people here could make with a legal system in which specific mean is not addressed in the rules!!!???
