Per Rule 1754 (and Rule 1763), they will get these VTs back, despite the adoption of Proposal 3674. Sherlock attempts to declare a Paradox: All VTs were destroyed by Proposal 3674, but the Bank is required to transfer VTs to the Players. This doesn't work, for several reasons: * Agora has no "Win by Paradox" Rule. * The Bank is still able to Mint new VTs. * Rules 114 and 1698 prevent Gamestate changes that would crash the Game from occurring. 2/1 Read the Ruleset Week begins. -- Ed Murphy http://www.bayside.net/users/ford/ "I see," said Arthur, who didn't.
