  • I would support a committee ruling in this instance.

    • Alright then,

      I presume you insist on being on the committee?

      How many others do we need?

      • Let's just let the current top 5 decide.

          • Sure but you do realise the recommendation of this committee will be forwarded to the Judges Panel for a final decision?

            • Then the bottom five. Just kidding.

              • 1. U.S. drones in Pakistan are operated by CIA.
                2. Former president of NYRA is a terrible choice for CIA cover.

                Therefore Ozzy is not in the CIA and thus not violation of rule 21a.

                Further, I move that DaShi be hit in the face with banana cream pie.

                • That's 3 in favour so far. Still waiting on SlowwHand and OFITG.

                  DaShi's Motion is not faring well at committee.

                  • Former president of NYRA is a perfect CIA cover because no one would expect it.

                    However, I care more about the rules being followed than the outcome of the committee. What I'd like to see is this clarified in the next Pool.

                      • My point is about the possibility that a player could have violated 21a. In fact, since we can't prove that he did, we can't issue the full penalty under the rulings. However, we also can't prove that he didn't creating a potential loophole in this rule that I'd like to see closed.

                        • Again, are you asking for an alibi so we know Ozzy didn't drop the drone bomb on that poor terrorist's head?

                          • I think DaShi should demonstrate he was not in fact in Libya on May 20th.

                              Why not the bottom five?

                              • Not sure why I am commenting, it is only with some degree of morbid fascination/disgust that I even read this thread, but I seem to keep being drawn back to it :shrug:

                                You are treating this as a negative, I am thinking more on the positive...couldn't someone theoretically get twice the points if someone on their list dies twice ("confirmed" dead) in the same year? For that matter why stop at twice?

                                If you are going to further clarify the rules, perhaps you could expand it further to prevent collusion and conspiracy. I would hate to see Ming and Jrabbit kill someone from each others list just to get each other the points (not specifically against the rules as I read them).
