DIS: Who has gained points?
I'm wondering about what constitutes gaining points for the purposes of gaining notes - when someone wins by high score all points are lowered, so that week almost noone has a net gain, but if it's instantaneous gains that are counted then two players who are not gaining points otherwise could give a point back and forth and so gain a note each. Is there any consensus about this from earlier on, or should I CFJ? -- -Tiger

There isn't consensus from earlier on; personally, I think passing a point back and forth to gain a Note is a pretty clever idea, really, and the sort of loophole people who notice it tend to abuse until it's fixed. -- ais523

I terminate the pledge I just made about giving points for points (if I can). Points are also a fixed currency, so you can't transfer them. You can, but only in a limited fashion.

Gaining assets is explicitly defined, transfers don't count.

See the last paragraph of rule 2179. Which fails to take precedence over Rule 2166.
