Oops. Failure to maintain game state.

[pimotte]

I just merged #22 , which did not include a point total update, which I found out when inspecting #21. In my opinion I have violated rule 309, by submitting (and merging) a pull request that did not accurately reflect the game state. Given how #311 has not passed yet, and as of now, the rules are unclear on how to resolve this. Hence I am invoking Judgement to request an answer to the following question:

How should the current situation be resolved?

By rule 305, @MrHug will be the judge.

As @pimotte indicates, there are no rules that currently tell us how to resolve this situation, nor are there rules that allow us to sanction a player for breaking our rules. As a result I feel the only judgement I can (begrudgingly) give is as follows:

As the breaking of the rules did not lead to a disruption of gameplay, either positive or negative, I see no need to undo the merging of the Pull Request that led us to this violation. Thus I rule that @pimotte will rectify the score totals to again reflect the current game state and no further action is taken.

I would like to take this opportunity to again highlight the need for a rule such as outlined in #18 (although it is hard to be impartial about this, since it is my pull request). Such a rule would allow us to deal with violations like this in a more impartial, objective, and streamlined manner.

As per rule 305, this issue can be closed soon, assuming no objections to this judgement are raised.

I won't object to this ruling, so unanimity to overturn this decision cannot be reached. I will rectify the game state and then close this issue.
