Proposal: Unambiguous PROUSTage

Quorumed, 6-3.—Wakukee

Adminned at 08 Dec 2009 15:27:40 UTC

In subrule 2.5.1 “Basic Spells”, replace

The spell Kingmaker has “PROUST” as its activation sequence. Its effect is “The partner of this Apprentice, if not ineligible for any other reason, may declare victory.”

with

The spell Kingmaker has “PROUST” as its activation sequence. Its effect is “The partner of this Apprentice, at the time this spell is cast, may achieve victory at any time from now until the end of the dynasty, unless they are ineligible for some reason to achieve victory.”

Removing the ambiguity surrounding exactly what PROUST does (whether it allows a declaration or an actual victory, whether it has to be the partner at the time or anyone who casts SOUP later)

for Although we should clarify the language on declaring, achieving and being able to declare victory once and for all.

This is definitely fixing the wrong problem. And the DoV should have fixed the issue at hand, at least for this dynasty. But eh.

I’d concur, but at least some of the votes in the DoV centered on my casting of PROUST, and not on the inherent validity of a DoV based on a legitimate PROUST.

I disagree that this is not what proust says, except perhaps the bit about the partners.

against COV. I like the SOUP ambiguity, and as I’m probably closer to casting PROUST than anyone else I’ll argue that I’d rather cast it to the fates that arbitrarily hand Quazukee the win.

CoV…

Josh raises a good point. Might as well let an enterprising Apprentice make use of the ambiguity.
