There are a lot of things weird about B (many Agorans would call them
"broken", I think, but in B they're largely part of the culture by
now). In particular:
* Precedence is solely by rule number, and the anti-mousetrap clause
is way down in Rule 57 (Rule 0 basically allows a sufficient number
of complainants to stop normal gameplay long enough to legislate
themselves out of any mess whatsoever, but Rule 0 itself has
recently been the target of some scam attempts).
* The closest equivalent of MMI is Rule 37, which defines "shall" and
"shall not" as "a violation of the Rules" (which is consistently
used in Agora's SHALL sense) wrt actions. By game custom, "can",
"may", and "must" all match Agora's CAN sense.
