I CoE the following statement:
-----
Even if 4st had a Lime Ribbon, the Assessor would not meet the cashing
conditions of the promise titled "4st's Lime Ribbon Deal".
-----
Evidence follows:
The promise "4st's Lime Ribbon Deal" has the following text:
-----
Cashing Conditions: 4st has a Lime Ribbon, and the bearer is the Assessor
I transfer a 4st stamp to the bearer.
-----
In particular, it specifies that the bearer of the promise must be the
Assessor. However, this promise's bearer is currently the library.
Rule 2618 Promises contains the following text:
A player (the casher) CAN, by announcement, cash a promise,
provided that both a) any conditions for cashing it specified by
its text are unambiguously met, and b) either the casher is the
promise's bearer, or the promise is owned by the Library.
And the following definition:
A promise's owner is referred to as its bearer.
When a player cashes a promise owned by the Library, the bearer
continues to be the Library. The cashing player does not become the
bearer. Rule 2618 also does not specify any mechanism by which a player
can become the owner of a promise that the Library owns. No other rule
mentions the Library at all.
The Assessor is an office defined by rule 2137 to be an office.
Rule 1006 (Offices) defines the Officeholder switch as follows:
Officeholder is an office switch tracked by the ADoP, with
possible values of any player or "vacant" (default).
The Library is defined by rule 2618 as follows:
The Library is an entity and CAN own promises.
Note that the Library is not a player.
Since the Library is not a player, the Assessor can never be the
Library. Therefore the condition "The bearer is the Assessor" cannot be met.
