Rule 2276 doesn't explicitly define "assume" as a verb, but considering that "I assume X" common-language-evaluates to "I make myself the holder of X", I suppose "<rule> causes X to assume Y" necessarily evaluates to "<rule> causes X to make emself the holder of Y" by parallel construction. > Please don't try to repeat this scam, anyway, until the ramifications > are calculated; doing two would be even worse.

(What order is the List in now anyway?) It wouldn't; I was Assessor and not Promotor throughout the process, and Rule 2255 platonically satisfies the CotC/Justiciar separation (even if this results in there being no Justiciar). > Finally, does rule 2255 platonically imply that there are at least six > players? Probably not, the named positions just become temporarily meaningless in the same sense as "the king of England".
