I don't see how something like the following in the appropriate forum wouldn't successfully give a card, assuming that it was issued in the right time frame: "I issue Donald Trump a Green Card for breaking his pledge to direct his secretary of the treasury to label China a currency manipulator."
My reasoning for the above is as follows: * It includes all the things that an announcement issuing a card must have lest it be ineffective as per rule 2426; * It is issued by a player; * It clearly says in Rule 2450 that "breaking a publicly-made pledge is a cardable offence"; * The infraction is inconsequential to Agora gameplay, and thus fits into the category of a Green Card; * It does not violate the other SHALL NOTs in rule 2426 (although mostly by assumption); * Thus, the action would result in a card being issued. If I am mistaken, I would like to be corrected on the issue. 天火狐 On 16 June 2017 at 02:12, Alex Smith <ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk> wrote: > On Fri, 2017-06-16 at 02:08 -0400, 天火狐 wrote: > > > I don’t think I can do anything about this, formally, since you’re > still > > > > not a player, but if you insist I can put together a theory under which > > this should be carded. > > > > CFJ 1709 states that non-players are still bound to contracts if they are > > party to it, with the implication that non-players must still follow the > > rules if they choose to interact with them.
