While it's interesting to postulate what the game would look like if the duck royalty subgame had gone further, that's not what ended up happening. And now we have this story to show for it. | While it's interesting to postulate what the game would look like if the duck royalty subgame had gone further, that's not what ended up happening.

=== A Potential Abundance of Ducks === | |||
One of the oldest unmodified passages in the ruleset read "Upon joining the game, a duck is created in the possession of each player" (see {{Heading|The First Day (3 Jan 2021)}}). That has some silly grammar that can mean a couple of different things. Does it mean that when (each player) joins the game, a new duck is created in (that player's) possession as it was clearly meant to? Does it mean that when (a player) joins the game, a new duck is created in (each player's) possession? This concern was brought up by Jumble a few hours after joining on 18 March 2021<ref>https://discord.com/channels/515560801394753537/518856008605499402/822159997017522206</ref>. The judge ruled that it was working as intended but that it would be better to clarify it<ref>[[Round 9/Rulings#Ruling 12]]</ref>. Legislation was already on the way to fix this, though, so we can count this as another near miss. | |||
