It is not the job of the Magistrates to reinterpret rules that Tom has set down clear expectations for.
Has he done this? In a place we can all see? And not vague recollections?
Unless you've decided to take up Fury's cry of "The Magistrates should rewrite all the rules to suit us" now that he's gone?
No, I haven't. But I'm saying that we are under no obligation to accept a specific interpretation of the rule unless Tom says so when we consider it. Tom's preferences are not eternal and immutable.
Why is there so much text in this thread?
This is not a strategic secession in the sense that the rule was written. I know how I'm voting.
I tend to agree as far as intent is concerned: it seems evident to me that intent is the key component.
However, I share Geronus' concerns about feasibility.
