237.1 Credit to the Devious Ones
Author Looney
Type Regular

Credit

Amend the following rule:

211.1 Credit to the Devious Ones
Keywords
Mutable Rule
Text If a player believes that the rules are such that further play is impossible, or that the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or that a move appears equally legal and illegal, then that player may submit an RFJ such that the statement to be judged explicitly specifies that there is a paradox. If such an RFJ is ruled true, the following shall occur:

If the ruling was submitted during a turn, the round will end at the end of the following turn unless the ruling is changed by appeal during that turn.

If the ruling was submitted during interim, the round will end at the end of the turn after that which immediately follows the interim unless the ruling is changed by appeal before that time.

If the round ends in the manner described, the following players are all winners: the player(s) who created the paradoxical situation by actions other than voting and the player who submitted the RFJ describing that situation.

Mutable Rule
Text If a player believes that the rules are such that further play is impossible, or that the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or that a move appears equally legal and illegal, then that player may submit an RFJ such that the statement to be judged explicitly specifies that there is a paradox. If such an RFJ is ruled true, the round will end after one full turn has elapsed from when the ruling was submitted, unless the ruling is changed by appeal during that turn. During this final turn, an appeal referendum that changes the ruling must be up for vote; if no player submits such a referendum, then the administrator shall create a referendum to change the ruling to false, with the argument field left blank.

If the round ends in the manner described, the following players are all winners: the player(s) who created the paradoxical situation by actions other than voting and the player who submitted the RFJ describing that situation.

The interim clause in the original rule was meant to prevent a situation where a ruling is posted one minute before the turn starts, not leaving players time to appeal. However, it seems to be troublesome now. In this case, the paradox ruling was submitted on Saturday, leaving plenty of time to appeal; nobody did so because the ruling was correct. So here's my attempt to solve both problems simultaneously.

That is a good observation. But we can change it only in the convention I guess.
