Actually, this feels a bit weird, but I don't see why it's unethical so... I'll pay whoever calls it a coin for the trouble. I'd also like to point out that AFAICT, CFJs have been literally free (as well as unpaid) since the adoption of P8014. Justification: The game has a legitimate interest in s

The issue really calls for interpretation. I would call the CFJ myself, but I'm far too intrested in judging it. :) I think I have some ideas for a ruling which would clarify the issue, set out some new interesting precedent, and generally not make anyone too grouchy. If anyone would care to use th

Papers are already defined as plural in the rules, so probably don’t need the count noun. As for the rest, they make sense (although I’m not sure how often we’d actually need them—“I transfer 3 fabric” works fine) Gaelan > On Apr 1, 2018, at 6:07 PM, Aris Merchant > wrote: > >> >> The follo
