No, I thought you might be treating each rule as a separate
document, which would be overly restrictive.

===  CFJ 2890 (Interest Index = 0)  

 It is generally POSSIBLE for me to make a proposal
 Undistributable for a fee.



Caller: omd

Judge:  coppro
Judgement:



History:

Called by omd:  15 Oct 2010 04:00:11 GMT
Assigned to coppro: (as of this message)



Caller's Arguments:

Rule 2283 states:

   To perform a fee-based action, a Player (the Actor) who is not
   otherwise forbidden to perform the action CAN perform it by
   announcing that e is performing the action while also announcing
   that there is a fee for that action.

However, I am "otherwise forbidden to perform the action": there is no
other way for me to make a proposal Undistributable than by announcing
I am performing the action while also announcing that there is a fee
for that action, etc.




TRUE. Not being permitted to perform something is different than being 
forbidden from performing it. The rule thus means "a player CAN do this 
unless some other rule says he can't". It is, thus, a manner of subtly 
deferring to any rule, including one of lower power.


Now, someone is invariably going to complain about the rules defining 
precedence and this getting around it not working, however, since there 
is never an actual contradiction of rules, precedence need not apply.

Are you treating the ruleset as a single document?
