Food for thought: 1. CAN is the approved way of empowering an action, but there's nothing that says other common-language synonyms can't be used. 2. What does it mean when something is [Verb]-able? By common language, does it mean you CAN do it (i.e. that it's do-able)? 3. After a rules-search on "able", the only instance of [Verb]-able is cardable, so assuming it works doesn't break anything. 4. The admitted weakness of this interpretation is you'd have to infer a 'by announcement' or something for the method. But maybe there's a combo that works = Rule 2426 says "Cards CANNOT be issued except by players by announcement" that has a weak implication that if someone can be carded (is "cardable"), it can be done by players by announcement. There may be other routes here. 5. I think o has already mentioned it, but in this: As part of the Referee's weekly duties, e SHALL either impose Summary Judgment on a player or truthfully announce that e believes that there are no rules violations in the preceding Agoran week for which a Card has not already been issued. the second part of the clause would include rules violations by non- players. If there is exactly one violation in a week, by a non-player, the Referee couldn't do this correctly. 6. If a non-player publicly pledges but says e isn't being bound by the rules, is it a R2450 Agoran pledge, or a non-enforceable non-Agoran pledge?
