BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

In rule Movement, there is the following text:

* If both Territories are land Territories, both territories are adjacent territories, and are not both Aiport Territories, the Agent may move between the two Territories free of charge. The agent must instead make a comment saying “MOVE” to the GNDT in replace of spending a ticket.

Where the author’s clear intention was to make mandatory a comment to the GNDT whenever an Agent choose this type of movement. Nevertheless, this text doesn’t make it mandatory, since “instead” means “in place of” and there is nothing to be made in place of said comment.

So, should this CfJ pass:

1. Change the text above so it reads:

* If both Territories are land Territories, both territories are adjacent territories, and are not both Aiport Territories, the Agent may move between the two Territories free of charge. The agent must then make a comment saying “LAND MOVE” to the GNDT. That shall be construed as the same of registering the spending of a Ticket.

2. The Mastermind shall reduce by X the Land Tickets of any Agent who used the flawed text to move without making the GNDT “MOVE” comment, where “X” is the number of times said agent used the flawed text. IF that would bring a Land Tickets number below zero, the Mastermind shall reduce the Agent’s Air Tickets and Sea Tickets, in the manner e deems fit.

If you feel this as unnecessary clutter, remember Bucky’s grammar exploits in other Dynasties…
