Voting has an explicit conditional mechanism because it's a delayed action. The conditional for a vote doesn't need to be interpretable at time of declaration, but instead at time of resolution. Other things don't need explicit mechanisms because we don't generally care about the manner of an action. The exceptions being listed in the rules, when something need be 'by announcement' or with a previously announced intent. From a speech act theory standpoint, any speech act already encodes conditionals (that the preconditions match, that the way I invoke it performs it, that others recognizes the previous two points, that everyone assumes genuine intent). Allowing more conditionals to be included is a natural extension. > > On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 12:58 AM, Aris Merchant > <thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com > <mailto:thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > If there are no regulations, no part of this message beyond this > paragraph has any effect. > > I determine the regulations for the recent tournament to be in title > T1-2017, or, if that title name is invalid, 1-2017.
