There can be only one Nyarlathotep.  But calling something something
doesn't actually change its name, does it?  And if it did, then Rule 597
(Frankenstein Monster) would take precedence over the Blueprint (by Rule
594) and hence the name of the FM would be the name given it by that rule.
But then Rule 500.1 says it can't have that name, but does not specify
which name it should have.

However, if you do claim that one of them is called granting Sanctuary of
Salvation, it cannot be the monster, so it must be the Office (the Monster
does not yet exist, so all references to Nyarlathotep in the Blueprint
must refer to the entity named Nyarlathotep, i.e. the Office).

I'm getting to the stage where the FM appears to be scambait and very
little else.  I wouldn't mind seeing Rules 596 and 597 bite the dust.

Yours,
Slakko

  Yes.  

 The action of "legitimately exercise"ing Nyarlathotep is not covered in
the game rules anywhere.  Hence I can do it.

 Failing that though:

 I kiss Nyarlathotep
 I kiss Nyarlathotep
 I kiss Nyarlathotep

 Which is a legitimate exercise of the Blueprint Nyarlathotep :-).

JT has judged this to be TRUE.

Clerk of the Courts
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Call For Judgement 564 - April 13, 1998
Subject: Magic Number
Initiator: breadbox (sent April 13, 1998, 03:33)
Judge: Niccolo Flychuck (declined)
Second Judge: JT (selected April 18, 1998, 07:12)
Judgement: TRUE

Statement:
The Magic Number is currently 347.

Initiator's Reasoning:
The Rule-Harfer's copy of the rules would seem to indicate that the
base value of the Magic Number, and thus the current Magic Number
itself, is 379. The Scorekeeper's pages clearly indicate that the
Magic Number is 337. (I thank Slakko for pointing out to me this
inconsistency.) However, both of these numbers are wrong.

The Magic Number's base value was 379 at the end of Cycle 17 (at which
time, it should be noted, there was much confusion). Since that Cycle
and the previous one were not won by points, the rules required that
the Magic Number be adjusted downwards. (The Rule-Harfer never made
this change to the rule, which explains the number there.) At the
time, the Scorekeeper announced that the new Magic Number was 337,
since this is the highest prime number less than 379 * 0.9 (thus the
Scorekeeper's number).

However, Rule 666 actually required the Magic Number to be changed to
the smallest prime number greater than 379 * 0.9, which would be 347.

All of these things are trivially true. The real question, then, is
whether the infamous "pragmatism" clause of Rule 701 causes the Magic
Number to actually become 337 instead of 347.

I believe that it does not, because said clause "does not apply to the
case of events which occur automatically, but whose occurrence is not
(or erroneously) reported". While it is customary for the Speaker or
the Scorekeeper to announce the rule changes that take place when Rule
666 is applied, this announcement is in no way required for those
changes to take place, but is done "merely" as a convenience to the
players.

I believe that this fact, and thus the necessary verdict, is also
trivially true. But since this could have a nontrivial impact on the
game state in the near future, the Scorekeeper and I thought it best
to make it official via the appropriate judicial channels.

Reasoning:
   Upon reading the rules in question (666 and 701) it seems obvious to
me that the initiator's reasoning is correct and that the Magic Number
change is a event which occured automatically and which was erroneously
reported.  Therefore, 701 doesn't apply and the magic number correctly
should be 347 regardless of when it was reported as 337 or for how long
the error has gone unnoticed.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't work either. In addition to my previous comments
I should probably add that:

1. The rule is called "Blueprint: Nyarlathotep" (I think). It's definitely
not just called Nyarlathotep.

2. The Frankenstein monster Nyarlathotep doesn't exist yet.
