Heh. This comment made me remember that I tried nearly the exact same scam in
2001:

I was pretty obnoxious back then.
[tl;dr the rules said that when the Rules grant a player "the New Player
Award", e
is instead granted a "the New Player Award for each currency." There were 4
currencies, so I argued that it meant "awarded the new player award => for each
currency award the new player award (4 new player awards) => for each of these,
for each currency award the new player award (16 new player awards)..."
In reality, of course, the "new player award for a currency" was a defined
number
that didn't propagate or anything...]
