This is intended as a referendum on whether we want to have wins by paradox. I may vote PRESENT, I haven't decided yet. That being said, I will point out that Agora is still very philosophically disposed to read paradoxes out of rules by any means necessary. I believe that our interpretation would be more coherent if we went in that direction. Do keep in mind that we managed without wins by paradox for a good many years. -Aris
