Judge Glenn, I agree with Anton and Gallivanting tripper that the inability to post a valid rule does not effect a player's eligibility, and so does not conflict with RO 4. RO 4 concerns players' eligibility to post rules, and says nothing about whether those rules might be valid or invalid. There is (or used to be) a note on one of the FRC web pages to the effect that the rule, "This is the last VALID rule of the round," is legal, winning, and no fun. I recommend you reverse your judgement, and we can proceed immediately with no harm done. (Also, I have managed to think of three possible outs here, though two of them are (IMO) horribly unstylish.) -Jesse -- Rule Date: 2001-09-27 12:04:09 GMT
