[This continues my newbie questions.]
Here it goes: who exactly can be punished for violating Rule 2596 ("The
Ritual")?
The problematic phrasing is: "The Ritual MUST be performed at least once in
every Agoran week."
Clearly this Rule wishes to specify that such an inaction is a violation.
However, unlike any other instance of "shall", "must", "shall be", or "must
be" in the Rules (at a cursory glance), this instance has no clear Entity
that can violate the rule. Note that the issue is not "MUST be", but that,
even in context, there is no specific Entity or document that can violate
the rule.
I see a few possible interpretations: that Agora itself would violate the
rule, that each individual Player would violate the rule, or perhaps the
Rule simply fails to identify a violator at all.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
