Ah, yes, good point. I did forget that requirement. So it wouldn't be a successful tabled intent. However, to my mind, "We intend to push the boulder." would likely be held as failing to push the boulder, as the intent to do so "by sending the message" isn't clear and unambiguous (R478), since that's the normal form for setting up a tabled intent for later, even if that isn't actually possible. (As usual, I'm merely guessing how a judge would rule, but that's certainly how I would rule.) I still think your original message isn't quite that, but it's close. -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason
