Proposal: Weird meanings for Old Words

Rule 15, Hat Combat, is strange:

Players may be affected by multiple Automatic methods, but no Player may declare more than one Automatic method on a given Player.

It doesn't say we can't declare them all at once, or now within a certain time frame, but rather simply forbids it, ever. This means I can't get a Mariner hat and then a Captain hat as I would like to do. This cannot be the intention of the rule, since Captain's hat can only be put into effect by a player who has already given himself or herself a Mariner's hat. I don't really know what the intnetion of the rule is anyway.


Amend the section of rule 15 that reads

Players may be affected by multiple Automatic methods, but no Player may declare more than one Automatic method on a given Player.

to read

Players may be affected by multiple Automatic methods.

also Hobbes is to be given a Captain's hat and lose 10 hats as soon as it's legal to do so.
