Wed, 13 Feb 2002 23:51:05 -0700 177:1 VALID +1.0 Aron Wall

Aron is the new Judge and Wizard for Round 178.
----- begin 177:1 -----
Theme- "What is the Theme of this Round?"
All valid fantasy rules shall propose a theme for this round, which is
descriptive of the round to date and which incorperates some aspect of
the game that has not been taken into account in any of the other themes
suggested so far. However, each theme proposed will also have some flaw
which makes it unsatisfactory as a consistent and complete theme for the
entire round. At least one such flaw will be pointed out by the
following valid rule, and all themes proposed shall avoid having any of
the flaws ascribed to previously suggested themes.
------ end 177:1 ------
VALID, +1.0 - Looks fine to me - all themes are flawed, nicely Goedelian
----- begin 177:2 -----
"I Still don't know What the Theme of this Round is but I'm going to Find
Out!"
I think it could be the Round whose Themes are Capitalised
palindromically... but I may be making an error in the same way as Aron did,
when he positively identified a theme of the round even though proclaiming
his ignorance of the fact that the knew full well what one of the themes of
the round actually was - shame!
Let no future Rules make said Mistake.
------ end 177:2 ------
You claim that the flaw in Aron's theme is as follows: he presented a
theme as if it were consistent and complete, but then explained that it
was not. However, this is a flaw in Aron's presentation of the theme,
not in the theme itself.
On the other hand, if this *is* a flaw in the theme itself, then your
theme has the same flaw - which 177:1 prohibits. In either case, the
rule is INVALID.
Style breakdown:
+1.0 for a reasonable attempt
-0.5 for confusing the Judge in a bad way
-0.1 for sloppy grammar ("that the knew")
for a total of +0.4
