Exclamation Re: <G14> - ya win some, ya lose some

Quote:
The assessment of the conditions under which Rule <G14> may be invoked will be determined before any penalties are assessed. This is to prevent any ALLIANCE from intentionally getting a PENALTY to impose the Rule <G14> conditions on their opponent.

Rule <G14> is assessed for every MATCH, regardless of the score.

If an ALLIANCE ends a MATCH with zero (0) points, and their opponent has any non-zero score, then the opponent has out-scored by an infinite factor. This is logically more than triple (3x) the lower score. Thus, the most strict effects off Rule <G14> will apply. Therefore, it is always to your advantage to make sure that both ALLIANCES always score at least once.

i dont think that their reasioning is very good given the fact that if you can do 0 x 3 is always 0 then you should also therefore be also able to also divide the sum you get from that by 3 to get the origonal number which with 0 is impossible. Therefore it is impossible to have a number any times higher then 0 because the outcome can't be done.

besides the whole problem that 0 x infinity is equal to 0 and therefore any number greater then 0 can't be a multiplication of 0 because the number needed to get 0 as a multiplication of the score would be undefined and therefore couldn't be done.

correct me if you think i'm wrong
