I wield the Hot Potato stone, transferring it to ais523 (since I
prevented eir wealth stone from being protected).
CFJ: Jason has wielded the Hot Potato stone.
Evidence:
Excerpt from rule 2545 (power 2):
{{{
The rule that authorizes the auction further authorizes the
auctioneer or auction winners to transfer said items as necessary
to conduct the auction in a manner consistent with the auction
method.
}}}
Excerpt from rule 2642 (power 2):
{{{
The Stonemason CAN initiate an auction for any set of stones
belonging to Agora for which an auction is not ongoing, with each
individual stone being an auction lot. The Stonemason is the
auctioneer, and the currency is coins.
}}}
Excerpt from rule 2645 (power 2):
{{{
- Hot Potato Stone (Weekly, 100%): When this stone is wielded,
the wielder gains 8 boatloads of coins if the wielder, in the
same message as the wielding, transfers this stone to a player
who has not owned this stone since Agora last owned it. This
stone cannot otherwise be transferred, other rules
notwithstanding.
}}}
Arguments: The transfer of the Hot Potato stone to Jason during the
auction resolution was impossible. There's a contradiction between
rules about whether the transfer is possible; rules 2545 and 2642
attempt to make it possible, but rule 2645 attempts to make it
impossible. Rule 2645 contains an "other rules notwithstanding", so by
rule 1030, it wins the contradiction and prevents the transfer taking
place.
This is probably a bug (and I only just noticed it, or I'd have
mentioned it earlier).
I think this bug has a loophole which allows Jason an even better way out,
if e can see it :)
