We're not in a tournament setting and there aren't judges about to DQ you - we can actually have a conversation about the real life logistics of how things REALLY function without just quoting MTR phrases.

But if that's your stance then fine, bc I have no interest in trying to talk to a rulebook

And yet it's a standard feature of tournament play.

If the goal was to fully prevent ever having intentional draws or concessions to have both players get what they want, there would be a rule saying that a match must be played and not allow concessions without playing.

Each player getting the prizes they want to get

But you can't say "I want ____" or similar to the opponent when you're trying to sort out who is to get what parts of the prize support

You're saying that as someone experienced and who has been around the concept for a long time though.

Anyone new to the comp magic scene for the first time is going to find it obtuse and frustrating to get the intended result easily, and may not even know the minimum of "get a judge to mediate"

I feel like we have to be able to come up with a system to figure this shit out that isn't so filled with accidental traps and gotchas. It just sucks and should require someone giving you a lecture before/outside the event to explain what to do and what not to do.

Isn't that the name of the popular 90s band with the song about getting knocked down (and getting up again)?

This is Apple buying its own stock and shoving them in a warehouse to manufacture demand, right?

There cannot possibly be real humans buying this... Right???

Something something that's why he wanted to call it the big beautiful bill

(I'm so sorry)

I have 3 for this depending on the situation!

Leah Tsinajinnie Lonestar Armadillo for super straight, open approaches

TSA Vessel when I need to get around something

OG Elevation Koi for anything perched on a hill where a rollaway means sadness

You're def allowed one crashout over this. The policy is weird and frustrating, especially considering this is effectively a "win an RCQ" prize that's just distributed later.
