Call for Judgment: Misapprehended

Timed out and enacted, 3-1. Josh

Adminned at 23 Jun 2023 13:07:10 UTC

In the rule “Reality Enforcers”, change “Any Potent action” to “Any action” and change “described quantity of Suspicion” to “described quantity (or quantities, if multiple apply) of Suspicion”.

Uphold all actions and changes to the gamestate performed this Dynasty which were illegal but would have been legal if the above changes had been in effect at the time they were performed.

despite writing the initial list of Suspicious Actions myself, i had at some point tricked myself into thinking and telling others that u still gain 1 suspicion from performing a potency-related action that’s Baseline. but i just realised it says “any Potent action”; so Baseline actions shouldn’t give you any suspicion as-written. i (and others, i believe) have been acting under this mistaken interpretation, and i think going back and finding any inconsistencies that might result is more trouble than it’s worth. additionally, just to be safe, i’m including a clarification to the same rule which could theoretically have caused problems.

against I’ve been playing it correctly all along, so I deserve surprise Suspicion?

against If Bucky is correct that this negatively affects him despite having done it correctly then this isn’t reasonable; however I will switch my vote on this if no other acceptable resolution is proposed that allows for the game to proceed.

this doesn’t increase Bucky’s suspicion at all. it doesn’t make any new suspicion appear, or make illegitimate any previously legitimate gameplay edits. it specifically calls out illegal cases of unnecessary extra suspicion, and makes *those* legal. the only affect this will have on Bucky is that he’ll have to start using the new ruling going forward, after this CfJ is passed.

my stated goal here was to avoid anyone having to go thru history logs to meticulously ensure that suspicion was tallied up accurately!! why on earth would i write this in a way that that would have to be done for anyone else?

@Bucky TL;DR — this is directly beneficial for you if you’ve been playing it correctly all along & i haven’t.

In that case, still against, but would be willing to consider an uphold with no rule change.

I have to admit - I didn’t quite see the angle, but I trust Bucky to understand his own gamestate.

Okay, having given it a close read, I agree with lemon.  for
