CFI 990:

Statement: Any player according to the rulset as of nweek 22 nday 5 may
drinka glass of Champagne by simply announcing that the action in taking
place in a public forum. if no particular glass is stated in said
proclamation, the admistrator must choose an otherwise unclaimed glasss of
Champagne for the player to drink. If no such glasses exist the
administrator must create said glass.

Analysis by Plaintiff:
Rule 503 in nweek 22 does not state that a glass must be in a player's
possesion inorder for the player to drink said glass. However since Rule 636
has greater Chutzpah athan Rule 503 the glass cannot be in the possession of
another player. Therefore it si the duty of the adminisytrator to selecta
legal glass for consumption as stated in Rule 25. If no appropiate glasses
are currently available, Rule 25 would also plae the onus of creating said
glass on the administrator.

Analysis by Judge Wonko:
Rule 503, during nweek 22 and at the present, stated that "A player may
drink a glass of champagne by announcing that e is doing so in a public
forum." This does not, as has been previously ruled (see CFI 668), indicate
that a player may perform the action "to drink a glass of champagne" at any
time; rather, it enables players to perform the action "to drink", with the
target being a glass of Champagne. This does not imply that Champagne may be
created by performing the action; it implies that the action may not be
performed unless there already exists a legal glass of Champagne to be
targeted.

Therefore, I judge this CFI to be FALSE.

I have spoken.
