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?
