To be fair, I was not certain that Agora would accept Fookiemyartug's retroactivity mumbo-jumbo, hence my reason for stating that it was a test. I did however search the ruleset first to see if there was any clear conflict with my actions. In hindsight, I didn't consider the last paragraph of R478 when drafting up the Fookiemyartug contract, and if I had honestly considered it I might have been deterred from attempting the Fookiemyartug scam. However, at the time (with my limited searching) I couldn't find anything in the rules or past case history that would prevent what I was attempting. I knew there was a distinct possibility that (once uncovered) it might be declared illegal through the courts, but at the time it didn't seem that the rules clearly determined it's legality.
