In the comments on the Too Many Cups Fweep, Coppro argues that “Only one Gladiator may hold The ClingBoom Cup at any time” means “For each instance of The ClingBoom Cup, only one Gladiator may hold it” rather than “Only one Gladiator may hold an instance of The ClingBoom Cup at any time”. Hello Kitty described this interpretation as “ludicrous” and said they’d CfJ it, but they haven’t yet, so here’s a CfJ.
If this CfJ is enacted, then in the Rule “Victory and Glory”, replace “Only one Gladiator may hold The ClingBoom Cup at any time, and only one instance of CUP may be present in the Arena at any time.” with:-
If more than one instance of The ClingBoom Cup is held by a Gladiator, and one of those instances was not held by a Gladiator immediately prior to this circumstance arising, that instance is removed from play. If more than one instance of the CUP exists in the Arena, all instances of the CUP are removed from the Arena.
Note that this doesn’t address the issue of whether Coppro was permitted to unidle (if only one Cup can exist in the game, then unidling whilst holding a Cup would put the game into an illegal state), which possibly needs a separate CfJ.
redtara: they/them
Secondly, I think this opens up potential scams (introducing new instances of the CUP). A better fix might be to remove all but the oldest instance of the CUP.
