===============================  CFJ 3820  ===============================

      If Cuddlebeam does not win the game in the next 90 days, there
      exists a combination of actions by players that would allow a
      player to levy the Cold Hand of Justice on twg for violation of
      the pledge below, without changing the rules or ratifying a
      document.

Caller's Arguments:

2450/7 reads, in part: {
If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform (or refrain
from performing) certain actions, then breaking the pledge within the
pledge's time window is the Class N crime of Oathbreaking, where N is 2
unless the pledge explicitly states otherwise. The time window of a pledge
is 60 days, unless the pledge explicitly states otherwise. A pledge ceases
to exist at the end of its time window.
}

I’m not sure if the quoted pledge “explicitly” states that its time window
is 90 days. It certainly discusses a 90-day time window, but I’m not sure
if that qualifies as “explicitly” stating that the pledge itself has a
time window of 90 days.

If the time window is 60 days, there’s no way to violate the pledge within
its time window, and this is FALSE.

If the time window is 90 days, it still might not work. When was the
pledge violated? There’s an argument to be made that the violation occurs
at the moment the 90-day window expires. If so, would that count as
"breaking the pledge within the pledge's time window”?
