DIS: Re: BUS: [CfJ][Contract][@Treasuror] Somewhat Annoying Experiment

2020-08-13 Thread Byron Krane via agora-discussion
Gratuitous arguments: There is probably no lowest integer with this
property, because integers include negative numbers.

Also, hi, I'm still lurking, apparently.  Hopefully adding DIS: to
title was automatic, I don't remember.  (If not, sorry.)

I hereby initiate a zombie auction, with the following method and lots.


I bid 411 coins.

No faking disclaimer:  I'm pretty sure this bid works; I can't find a
limitation in the regs or auction rules that would prevent current zombie
holders from bidding in zombie auctions.  But this disclaimer is in case I
missed something and it fails the way it used to.

Agreed; I think it works.

R1885 used to have:

  Rules  to the contrary
  notwithstanding, the master of a zombie CANNOT bid in a zombie
  auction.

I guess it was lost somewhere in the recent auction overhaul.

Since the new auction rules don't even mandate that anything called 
"bidding" be involved, I'm not sure the same provision would work. How 
about something like this:



Amend Rule 2532 (Zombies) by appending the following paragraph:

{
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the talisman for one player 
CANNOT be transferred to a different player if the receiving player 
already owns a zombie's talisman.

}


Then you could bid in the auction, but you'd have to give up your old 
zombie to collect your prize.

Looks like that one slipped past me.

I will say though that I'm a bit peeved after reading this. I came up 
with this wording to fix this exact problem and everyone agreed that it 
meant what it was supposed to.


I'll fix this problem in the next report. Feel free to CoE though.
