Ok, Here's my catalog of events. Want to see if we can condense cases before figuring out what raft of CFJs are needed. Corona, Trigon, VJ Rada start out with Blots, therefore CANNOT win. Announcements made (including Slates of announcers): Trigon (B, C): I cause the Slate B players to

Well, it's all in the same category, so it's not a huge burden to write (x500) in the report. But yes, there have been some "technically infinite" wins in the past I think - this isn't the first time a winning condition failed to reset itself. On Wed, 10 Oct 2018, Alex Smith wrote: > On Tue,

Sorry if that breached a norm of the game; I just thought it was a potentially fun scam to run. I thought I saw that repeat awards of victories in the Herald’s report were denoted “(x2)” or “(x3)”, etc., so didn’t think it would bloat the report. If Herald report bloat is a concern, we can put

The proposals were constructed such that each player was on exactly two slates. So, ATM would have won if only A or C won; if both A and C won; or if C and B won, but not A. Other permutations would obtain for other players. The hope was that it would lead to some fun strategic voting behavior.
