Call for Debate: Strike this Sentence

This may be deleted by any admin:
“Winning or losing a game of Jesus, Peter, Judas have no effects until this Ruleset explicitly defines effects for those events, at which time this sentence shall be deleted.”

Because winning or losing has the following effects:

“The Monk that initated the game shall then post to the Main Page the results of the game.”

I went ahead and deleted it.

In case the explanation above was not enough, the effect of winning/losing was having to mention you won/lost on the blog.

I’d say that was an effect of initiating the game, rather than of winning or losing it (given that it also happens if the game is a draw).

I’ve reverted it.

I’m with Kevan on this.  From the last sentence of the rule, it’s clear that initiating the game (not any particular result) causes the requirement to post.

Yes, but the result changes the contents of the post.

Simply put, if it was explicit, we’d agree on it.
