Heh, is c. arguing for what it's "supposed to mean" rather than what it says? :) I see the general linguistic arguments that you and Wooble have made, but logically the conditions: 1. Has been a player for 3 months continuously; 2. Was not a player before that continuous period; 3. Has not made an award; can all be logically satisfied even if the three month period is long in the past and even if that continuity (after the three months) was broken. Which is often enough for this Nomic, although, yes, of course I know what the rule is really *supposed* to say. -G.
