This is my main issue with the judgement; it seems perfectly fine to create
something multiple times in natural language. We do that all the time with
coins, which are fungible, we create something that already exists.
No, we create instances of a class of entities, where the class already
exist but the instances don't.
But
importantly, even if it was against natural language, it's still defined as
possible in the rules.
Rule 2350 (Proposals)
A player CAN create a proposal by announcement,
specifying its text and optionally specifying any of the following
attributes:
So we can't just say you can't do it because of the "plain meaning",
especially when that meaning is contested. If I had used the word "create"
instead of "submit", I would have expected it to work just the same.
Yes, you can create/submit a proposal by announcement. That doesn't mean
you can create *the same* proposal multiple times, and given that (under
the current rules) the only sensible reading of "submit a proposal" is
as a synonym for "create", you can't submit the same proposal multiple
times either.
You can create/submit multiple proposals with identical attributes, but
you need to spell that out explicitly. It's reasonably within ais523's
purview as judge to find that the clash between the verb expecting
multiple objects ("81 times, I submit") and being given only a single
one ("the proposal _____") is sufficiently confusing that it doesn't
count as "specifying" the required things.
