Tough. This is something else that has tested staffs patience. We uphold the spirit of the rule/law, rather than the exact wording. You're here, you can read and write, if you're smart enough to try to pick at a rule to get around it, then you're smart enough to understand the spirit of it. If you are told to stop, stop. If you are told no, no. By logging in and playing, you agree to play by our rules. Our mud, our rules. If you don't like them, you are free to leave, and find another place to play. No one is forcing you to stay. There is a zero tolerance on this, and if you attempt to push it, you will be jailed, or nuked, or banned. End of discussion.
I sometimes wonder if the people who nitpick the rules, rewrite the rules of board games, or card games, just so only they can win. I imagine it would go something like, "No, the rules did not specifically say that the King was the high card, it said 'a' higher card, and see, I'm holding my Jack 'higher' than your King, so 'I' win!
Keep to the spirit of it, and you'll do fine. When in doubt, ask before you do it, or, don't do it.
