If it "appears to do something", and doesn't do that something, then it's lying,
right? If the thing it appears to do would *otherwise* be unregulated (i.e.
without the No Faking rule), lying about doing it makes it regulated (because
lying is regulated by No Faking).
An example: sending a
But, AFIAK, unregulated actions aren’t INEFFECTIVE, they’re just meaningless.
No Faking only cares about things that are INEFFECTIVE. Therefore, No Faking
doesn’t prohibit unregulated actions.
Now that I think about it, No Faking says “believed…not to be effective”
lowercase. Is that
No Faking prohibits lying, for a specific definition of "lying" that
includes "not doing something that appears to do something" if you're
doing that to mislead.
Since lying is prohibited, the rules "limit" its performance, so it is
regulated under R2125:
An action is regulated if: (1)
This raises an interesting question: can you get around No Faking by doing
something that appears to do something, but due to a technicality, turns out to
be unregulated? Would No Faking even cover that in the first place? If not,
should it?

Greetings,

Thanks for this. Not sure how I missed the parenthetical about ineffective
actions—that makes a lot of sense. And the history is very interesting!

which implies that "not to be effective" is qualitatively different enough
from a "lie" so that it has to be specified as counting as Faking. But we

After some more thought—maybe an INEFFECTIVE action could also be a “lie” if it
is intended to deceive.
For example, what if a player with a zombie
Interesting. R2124 governs "objections to dependent actions". Nothing in the
rules says anything about objections to non-dependent actions.
I have no idea if such things are INEFFECTIVE acts, or simply statements of
opinion.
If taken as Acts, such objections are not R2125 restricted (don't
