Wait, who were you yelling at? Me with the tags, or the others with no formatting?
Actually, the original ruling was deal with an old game waaaaay back when 12 first came out, with the much maligned "add rules to set 12" error which made those rules carry over to *all* subsequent rules. For awhile we were using the same rule loophole to cancel out the annoying rule changes, but then they closed it in 13 without looking at the 7 set universal protection rule which lent protection from everything (except certain methods, like the aforementioned 12 slham), making a fair number of those rule perfect canon level. However, because they aren't technically in a set, we gave them colloquial names based off of the circumstances surrounding their creating (as per the Renaming push back when there was a big argument between sets 18, 19, and Theta).
Now, in this case, we'll note that when I was posting this post (discounting the inevitable ninjaing), no changes had been made to the board since my last bcp (board-changing post), which means that I get a -15 global renown penalty (it's not -25 because of the two non-bcp posts before this one (and once again, dis-including ninja posts). Additionally, I take another 5 GR penalty because of the way that the formatting was messed up (instead of 10, which it would be if I wasn't fixing it right now).
Because I've got negative GR points, but no active tile, I have to place a dr:fc (direct representation: forum character) due to the rule regarding phantom debtors. Note that if I wanted, I could place a dr:rls (real life self) in accordance with my public status (after the calamity-split/ban ruling), which was confirmed by exec vote several games ago (using exec voting rules 1c and 6)

Strife has the plannar (messing with reality expansion) tag, so he auto-passes his void check. I'll take cursed:skilldrain:knitting on Strife to burn 3.5 of my GR deficit.

[/quote]Gah. -2 more GRP for the tag, but at least I caught it first, before someone else could claim the five GN points for it.
