There really needs to be a picture of Christopher holding a book in a huge chair sitting in front of an open fireplace to attach to that thread.

So the Prime Warden Cosmic infinite loop instant win is still considered fair and legal after talking it over? I'm really having a difficult time understanding the rational behind allowing this to continue even after aproval from Christopher. For reference, every single other instance of an infinite loop that has ever been found since the games initial creation has been overruled or changed to make it impossible to do. What exactly is the rational behind allowing this one and not any of the others ever found? I'm sure it must have been talked about after the other recent thread mentioned this right?
As I said in that thread and elsewhere, we are going to discuss it again with Christopher.

Sorry, I had wrongly assumed that conversation had already taken place since this was posted. My fault.
The Fireside chats are a compilation of issues that came up during testing, and aren't always discussed at the same time. It is just posted as one post with everything after that part of the game has been released.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

Fix Point's entire purpose for existing is to create crazy situations that would otherwise not be possible by the normal rules of the game. I think it would be fair to consider any Fix Point shenanigans exceptions to any conventional norm. Thats my take on it.

I'm sad we cannot "Guise of Knowledge" anymore. :C
Thank you, MigrantP, for keeping all this stuff compiled and updated for us!

Seriously, it is hilarious, and thus should be legal.
Also, he's only got 2 of them, so it's something you should really consider before doing, anyway.
I also want to thank MigrantP for posting these here on the forums.
I was especially happy to see an official answer for Jack Handle shenanigans. Those might have been elsewhere on the various threads, but I'd never seen an official response before to my knowledge.
And yeah, if any one wanted to, I'd totally let them Guise of Knowledge the Barbarian.
