BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

We have no Glossary definition for “invalid”, so I’m going to go with “being without foundation or force in fact, truth, or law” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/invalid)

In “Clarifications”, we have:

Invalid values for game variables can never be used

can: “is able to”

Ergo, that first part is equivalent to:

Invalid values for game variables are able to never be used

Now, much like how the game is able to enter Hiatus, but only enters that stage when it’s explicitly said that it does, Invalid values have the ability to be never used, but in no moment is that ability actually being performed (because it’s never explicitly said that such an ability is being employed.)

At 6:37PM, I’ve sent the Expedition Leader the following (ten times), while using the invalid value of 1 Artefact for myself, repeatedly. (Obviously is this “unacceptable” or “without foundation in law”, but idc. That’s the scam.)

I destroy one of the Artefacts I’m carrying.

Thus, I’ve destroyed 10 Artefacts. I have achieved victory. But I’m not going to leave the gaping flaw open, so in this same CFJ I’m going to plug it.

——*——

Upon enactment of this CFJ, the following happens:
• Retroactively annul all scams of the exploit described above and any variants of it, as well as any DoVs that depend on any of those.
• Add to “Backgrounds”:

The Explorer named Cuddlebeam has achieved victory, by merits of a scam (Had broken 10 Artefacts, more than the amount of Players, but the exploit has been plugged since, for safety and merit reasons).

• Amend “Invalid values for game variables can never be used” to

Invalid values for game variables may not be used
