Call for Judgment: New Player Setup

Nice try, Josh, and technically you could maybe get that 10 Health for setting up Greth--it's part of a core rule. However, Rule 13 states that you become Dead, and have R.I.P. added after your name, if your Health is 0 at any time. There are no rules that give any provisions for losing Dead status.

Ergo, logically, you can gain Health according to the core rules, but you can't perform any of the actions specified in rules 11+ (like eating Food or changing Locations), and you are still Dead no matter how much Health you get.

Vote FOR this CfJ if you agree with the interpretation that Josh is still dead, and that his game actions should be undone. In addition, the wording of the second paragraph of Rule 13 - Death should be changed from

Dead Crew Members may not gain Health and are not considered Crew Members for the purpose of non-core rules other than this one.

to

Dead Crew Members may not gain Health. Dead Crew Members are not considered Crew Members for the purposes of non-core rules other than this one.

Passed 6 to 2 at 2:37 pm GMT on 6.16.2004. Ruleset is updated, and Josh keeps his Health, remains Dead, gains one Food and is moved back to the Drilling Rig.
