There's no need to involve Pariah here at all, players can create Rests in eir own possession by announcement. And this scam relies on being able to cause players to perform arbitrary actions at power 1 (making me assume Pariah, an action, is different from causing me to become Pariah, a gamestate change which the scam certainly could manage, but didn't try to). Is that actually possible? Please don't try to repeat this scam, anyway, until the ramifications are calculated; doing two would be even worse. I'm worried that R1450 may have blocked some of the deregistrations, which would leave us in a very tangled state. (What order is the List in now anyway?) Finally, does rule 2255 platonically imply that there are at least six players? -- ais523
