Juge's arguments for CFJ 3523:
As the caller argues, "TTttPF" (this time to the Public Forum) has a very specific meaning and effect. It causes the actions that would have been taken had the quoted message been originally sent to the public forum to be taken. Despite being defined by no rule, game custom makes its meaning clear to all players. The question here is whether other, less established forms may have similar effect. "TTttPF" is a creature entirely of convention. It has effect because all players understand what it means. The message here could not, in context, be reasonably misunderstood. I therefore rule that it has effect, but only in this particular instance. There are other cases where the phrasing could be misunderstood. For example, what if the player took other actions in the new message? Then the meaning could be "this action didn't work, and I've changed my mind and am doing other actions". Unlikely, but possible. I thus rule that the established phrasing should be preferred for its lack of ambiguity, and this case's phrasing succeeded because, in context, it lacked any other reasonable interpretation. TRUE.
