Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Zombie CFJs and Finger pointing

​Perhaps the finger pointing rule should​ be rewritten to start the time limit when the legality status of the action first becomes ILLEGAL, so that there is always enough time to point a finger. Anyways, even if the Referee decides to levy a fine on me, this is like the smallest offense

At the time when they placed the bid, because the rule is phrased as happening at that time but depending upon future information. That's the one thing I can think of which isn't great, and why I said _significantly_ worse. -Aris On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 10:08 PM Kerim Aydin

Your argument about the definition is complelling in light of the general interpretive factors at play. On the merits I think I still disagree (though that may just be me being stubborn), but common sense and the interests of the game are clear. On the future conditional, I disagree. The

Counterargument (ignore this one, it probably doesn't work): when Quazie placed a bid, e essentially stated that "I will have sufficient money to pay at the end of the voting period. Really. I promise." This is part of the common language definition of what it means to bid. However, since bidding

Fair enough. Though we've used that before with no big crises. If someone feels like proposing a change, the alternative should be that crimes by zombies transfer punishment to their masters (which we've also done before). On Fri, 20 Apr 2018, Ned Strange wrote: > Exactly, nothing should

Indeed: 1} It is only ILLEGAL to *place* unpayable bids, not to hold them. 2) At the point in time when I (well, Quazie) was placing the bid, the conditional that determines the illegality was INEXTRICABLE. Only when the auction ended did the conditional became TRUE and the action *became*
