Gratuitously preemptive evidence:
A foreign nomic may grant certain powers (in the ordinary-language
sense) and privileges to Agora's ambassadors. It is ILLEGAL to use or
attempt to use such powers or privileges except as allowed by the
rules of Agora.
Preemptively gratuitous arguments:
Although the Ambassador may invoke the power granted to em by Item 2,
e is not actually *using* said power unless e attempts to accomplish
something by invoking this power.
No, these arguments are really pretty silly.
