The below CFJ is 3887. I assign it to Murphy.
=============================== CFJ 3887 ===============================
On October 11, 2020, G., nix, and Jason won the game.
Rule 2449 (Winning the Game) does say "When the Rules state that a
person or persons win the game, those persons win the game", thus Rule
2125 (Regulated Actions) says that persons only win the game as allowed
by the rules. But Rule 2449 doesn't explicitly require the Rules to
/directly/ state that a win occurs. Game custom is that indirect
statements (e.g. wins by proposal circa early 2019) are effective, and
I consider it in the best interests of the game to uphold that
interpretation (despite the obvious scam nature of the instances cited
in this case).
This is different from e.g. CFJ 3712, where game custom regarding
dependent actions was overturned upon discovering that the text of a
relevant rule (2124, Agoran Satisfaction) was explicitly broken at the
time (inadvertently preventing any form of dependent action other than
With N Notice from being completed). I don't remember whether the
auction issue was that or something else, but I'm pretty sure it was
some similar type of explicit breakage.
Rule 2633 (Rulebending) states that a relevant Rulebending Form "takes
effect as an ephemeral instrument", the same phrase uncontroversially
used by Rule 106 (Adopting Proposals). As no other potential points of
failure were identified, I find that the Form in question successfully
granted these wins. TRUE.
