Here’s a thought experiment to sharpen the point. Imagine that I don’t know any Spanish at all, but I’ve been told that “uno” is a number in that language (but not which number it is). I then give the message, “I spend uno energy.” If twg speaks Spanish and knows that word, then have I

Actually, this really convinces me that this rule makes it impossible (in a real sense) to play with public announcements (hashes etc). Because it's impossible to "communicate with the resolver" in a manner that "cannot be understood" by the other combatant. If the communication relies solely

There's a fairly established set of decisions that says public communication has to be intelligible to "a typical Agoran" and not just a single Agoran - that's the AGAINT precedents, arguably more famous than nkep. History of AGAINT: Someone privately communicated with the Assessor ahead of

Actually, I don't think this is the same scenario. twgese is just a mechanism for ensuring that the value of the number Tenhigitsune has announced is unknown to D. Margaux; the nature of the action that is being taken is perfectly cromulent to everybody. (Unless it fails for another reason.)

Another issue that has just arisen in my battle is, what do you do when the resolver controls a zombie that’s engaged in the battle? Don’t really know how the zombie can “communicate” the choice to the resolver there! Hash would be fine if it worked, but it may be broken. It doesn’t work

I wasn't particularly interested in playing space. Which is fine, and I didn't read it closely. But it looks like I'm required to respond - is that correct? If spaaace has made sub-games mandatory (another player can force my response with a SHALL?) my preferred option would be to deregister
