Call for Judgment: L’ogni

Reached quorum 5 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Change the description of Il Verme from “The Player’s Pocket has at least three cards, and every card in their pocket has Heft smaller than any card in their opponent’s pocket.” to “The Player’s Pocket has at least three cards, and every card in their pocket has Heft smaller than each card in their opponent’s pocket.”

Create a page on the Wiki titled “Game 14 Special Ruleset”, which is identical to the environment of Game 14, except for the title. Apply the change in the previous paragraph to that environment.

If the majority of EVCs on this CfJ also contain the text “OK but let’s be nice”, also add a new trick to that environment with the title “Il Corvo” and the text “The Player is named Raven1207. This Trick can only be claimed at most once per Game. Points: 4”

Change the environment of Game 14 to be the specific revision of this new environment that has only changes described by this CfJ.

On Game 14, we found it unclear whether the current text for il Verme means that every card in one hand has to be lower than each card in the other hand, or just lower than one particular card in the other hand. I believe it’s the former based on usual usage of ‘any’, but this clarifies it.

We do not, in general, apply rule changes enabling an action to legalize actions taken before the rule change. I don’t think this CfJ would have any effect on the game because the Trick was already (not) scored.

If I understand what you’re saying this applies to the ‘be nice’ paragraph. I’ve edited in a fix.

I agree with pokes’ position but wish we’d fine this as a negative CfJ - i.e. had enactment of the CfJ endorse Raven’s position so we could vote it down and have pokes’ interpretation be made basis by de facto. This is a lot of effort to fix something that I honestly feel is a bit obvious.
