I guess if that part's dropped, we're covered by the fact that officers CAN do stuff that they SHALL – so that if it is later found out that the Manifesto actually didn't say it should change (by inquiry case for example) then in fact there was no SHALL and thus the annoncement was ineffective. Provided the change hasn't ratified, of course. >> If the Ant Farm Manifesto states that a player's (Agoran) score >> would change, the Ant Farmer SHALL effect that change >> by announcement. Or does it require "CAN and SHALL" nowadays? - Tiger
