No. There are no doubts about their adequacy. Rather, it's about Zhek, whom I know not only virtually and generally respect. But after that "admiral's Muppet show," I wouldn't let him near the AK, not even within cannon shot.

I didn't comment on the "admiral's Muppet show" at the time because I was banned. And when I got unbanned, the issue was already resolved.

I'll comment now – my opinion is that controversial situations should be interpreted in favor of the players. Because forcing a player to think under a ticking clock about the nuances of the rules is inhumane; the rules should be simple and clear.

Specifically in that story, Redwait had two serious arguments: the absence of a direct prohibition in the rules (even though it was a known bug) and unofficial permission from two members of the AK.

In such a situation, refusing to use the bug could result in post-game comments like, "Well, you're a fool; you missed an easy victory." Using the bug doesn't create any obvious problems; you can always deflect accusations with the two arguments mentioned. No one wants to be called a fool, so using the bug is a perfectly logical (although not mandatory) decision for the player.

Therefore, in my opinion, the AK's decision should have been as follows: award the victory, ban the bug.

The AK's decision was different, but Redwait's opponent (I don't remember who it was) independently corrected it in the right direction; respect.
