Proposal: misplaced sentence?

Self-killed. Josh

Adminned at 18 Mar 2020 10:44:28 UTC

with respect to the following paragraph in “Money, Prestige and Power” “Players have unlimited Money, so the Money that they spend is tracked as Debt. Debt is tracked privately by Louis XIV and defaults to zero. If they do then Louis XIV may mark it as failed at any time. Debt must be a non-negative integer. For the purposes of all dynastic rules, “spend Money” and “increase Debt” are considered to be synonyms. No action that requires the spending of Money may be considered complete unless Louis XIV has been privately informed that it has taken place and has acknowledged that the relevant impacts upon Debt have been incorporated.”
remove the following sentence from the ruleset

If they do then Louis XIV may mark it as failed at any time.

upon reading this sentence i was immediately confused as to:
1) what the player is doing to meet the conditional for this sentence
2) what Louis XIV is marking as failed
3) how it relates in any way to the rest of the paragraph

It is orphaned from a clause that moved elsewhere. It does need to be put back there though; if you see this before the 2hr mark, coujld it be moved to Excess Spending, after ‘At any given time, the Nobleman who has accrued the greatest Debt (or all such Noblemen, in the event of a tie) may not post a Declaration of Victory’? Thanks!

Oops wasn’t able to edit this in time even though I saw your comment, Josh.
