Would add that when this was pointed out on Slack, Raven said “Oh did I trigger something wrong?” and when the lack of Demob was pointed out said “Oh”, which would support the idea that they didn’t choose to Demob themselves.

On a pure legal reading they should still have a Mark I Shell and a Power/Attack/Defence of 0/0/0, and zero Experience, and we’d be still waiting for them to resolve “A Jockeying Pilot with a destroyed Shell must set their status to Demobbed and blank their Archetype, Power, Attack and Defence.”

But I don’t begrudge assuming that they’ve done that and giving them 2 Experience, if that’s how the Poindexter wants to go forward.

It just seems like that’s what’s going to happen anyway, so why hold things up and risk a gamestate that’s about to become illegal

But this is a CfJ, my poindexterness has no bearing here. If it sets a bad precedent then by all means vote it down, that would I think give a clear mandate for a CfJ-free reversion.

It’s fine, it’s pretty much that common Nomic early-game space of “someone got ahead, but not ridiculously ahead”, just a bit unusual that Raven apparently did it without even realising they’d done it.

... or rather, not even legally doing it (if they didn’t Demob themselves), just taking an illegal action which happened to have the same outcome on a subset of the gamestate.

But it adds some colour, and it’s important to keep moving forward.
