BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

obviously?

Pokes and other Jockeys do not appear to have been Recovering at any point since Reforged.

My strong preference would be to uphold the status quo to whatever extent is possible, especially given that this is a goofy-error kind of an issue rather than a clever-scam kind of an error. I’ll counter-cfj.

As I said on the counter-CfJ, we should play by the actual rules rather than cover for clearly illegal actions. Only if there’s no practical way to determine the gamestate under the rules as-written should we uphold the illegal status quo.

I guess I don’t agree that this is practical; I respect the purity of your position but reverting a large chunk of dynasty, and in doing so unevenly altering the progress of players such that it could alter the outcome of the dynasty, feels unfair to the point that the principle should come second to practicality.

Perhaps more pointedly, the reversion doesn’t work as easily as you might think. For example: you had at least one fire attempt on IVYSAUR or VENUSAUR that caused it to react and raise its defence. Does that get reverted, and if so, does that mean that pokes’ subsequent successful fire attempt on it should retroactively fail?

I fell like reverting a lot of things isn’t the best way to go about this
