The only way I can interpret that as an event: you took some action in the course of which you deemed something. But since you didn't make any use of whatever you deemed to actually *do* anything, it was a null action. Nothing changed. You seem to be thinking that deeming something is akin to changing something. Deeming does not in itself have any persistent effect. It only has effect indirectly, via events that took place under the influence of the fiction. >I think that rather the rules explicitly support an arbitrary set of >legal decisions, which accumulate until deemed invalid. Past CFJs do not have the status of Rules. They are meant to guide play, but they cannot overrule a Rule if they conflict with one. I maintain that CFJ decisions cannot create legal fictions. -zefram
