Textualism & Monopoly Rules
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 17th, 2004 2:43 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building "Unimproved properties ... may be sold ... for any amount the owner can get"
A textual analysis leads to the conclusion that a property may NOT be sold for an amount LESS than what the owner can get. HTH |
 |
Date: October 17th, 2004 2:44 AM Author: spruce stead Ahem, "any". (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1500924) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 2:53 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building A canon of statutory interpretation is to look beyond the literal meaning of any one word. See, e.g., United States v. Singleton (10th Cir. 1999) (en banc), cert. denied, -- U.S. --. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1500958) |

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 2:59 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Nope, because it still absorbs the plain meaning of the entire phrase. This is in sync with Scalia's book (A Matter of Interpretation, or whatever). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1500977) |

Date: October 17th, 2004 2:58 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native If you looked below, you'd be forced to acknowledge that "maximum" isn't a good candidate substitute for "any," no matter what non-literal crack you're smoking.

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:05 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Nope, adding "reasonable" would be looking at legislative history / intent of the drafter. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1500992) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:07 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native "adding 'reasonable' would be looking at legislative history / intent of the drafter."
OK. And I'll guess that you haven't begun to do so. |

Date: October 17th, 2004 4:10 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native I caught my mistake later. I believe Scalia's into "original intent," and thought our boy RWA would be as well. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501149) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:12 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building That is often the difference between Thomas, Scalia, and Rehnquist, when they diverge.
Also, Scalia looks at the intent of the Framers but never the intent of Congress. |

Thanks. They don't diverge often. |

Date: October 17th, 2004 4:20 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building CT and Nino are the 7th most likely pair to vote together. The liberal bloc votes together more than they do. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501166) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:22 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native "The liberal bloc votes together more than they do."
Mildly surprising to me, but I never claimed there wasn't a liberal bloc. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:26 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Obviously CT-Nino-WHR are a bloc, and JPS-RBG-SGB-DHS are a bloc. But the racist left perpetuates the myth that CT is Nino's lapdog and votes with him every single time. The fact is that they're different relative to other pairings. And Brennan-Thurgood Marshall had like a 99.5% statistic (I think CT-Nino is about 93% over their 10+ years). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501176) |

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:27 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building In OT2003, they were 7th. In the 10 ?? years of this current court, they certainly aren't close to first. And see above about Brennan-Marshall. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501177) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:32 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Are you sure about the 10 years of this Court? I'm not saying I know otherwise ... but if they were 7th (out of 36 possible combinations, I think) in one year, and 1st in another, they are well on their way to being 1st overall.
Of course, that doesn't mean they are the highest of all time. But still, they may be the highest, or one of the highest, on this Court. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:37 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building 72 combinations (9 times 8), right? Not that it matters.
I remember vaguely they're like 4th-6th of this current court. I'm not quite sure exactly where they are. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:43 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band I think that is double counting (eg, Scalia with Thomas and Thomas with Scalia). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501196) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:51 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building FWIW, I found an old National Review article saying that in 94-99 it was:
DHS-RBG 84%
DHS-SGB 81%
CT-Scalia 80%
And it is clear that Thomas has diverged from Scalia much more in the last 5 years.
|
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 6:26 PM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Sounds right to me (I had always heard that Souter and Ginsburg were up there with Thomas and Scalia, and I am not surprised to see Souter and Breyer as well on this list).
Incidentally, I have come to appreciate the important differences between Thomas and Scalia, and depending on the issue, I may think one or the other of them has the better side of the argument. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 6:33 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building I don't know why Ginsburg-Breyer isn't also higher than CT-Scalia, based on the transitivity.
Yea, when they diverge, they often both have good arguments. Unlike Sandy, they actually craft a legal argument. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 7:13 PM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Obviously, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Souter are not all agreeing on the same 81-84% of the cases. Roughly, Ginsburg and Breyer could be agreeing on case anywhere from around 60-97% of the time, and because they aren't on that list it must be in the lower end of that range.
I personally like O'Connor's casuistry, but that is just me. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:13 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native Ah. A google search reveals that Scalia's a textualism buff as well--guess I should've guessed (after all, RWA did reference as Scalia book on the subject).

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:02 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building I agree that "maximum" changes the meaning, but the plain meaning is consistent with "any" excluding certain amounts. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1500986) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:09 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band I don't get that. Doesn't "any" mean there are no exclusions?
"You may take any deal that you can get."
"You may only take the best deal that you can get."
I'd say the second phrase clearly has a different meaning than the first. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:13 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native Yep. I fail to see how anyone could argue that the second interpretation is better than the second without going beyond the text. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501020) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:15 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building No, it can't be the second. There is clearly no requirement of the best deal or even a fair deal. It is the first. $6 is NOT "a deal" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501028) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:22 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band How isn't it?
"A 'sale' consists in the passing of title from the seller to the buyer for a price."
UCC 2-106(1). $6 is the price ... a low one, but a price nonetheless. |

Date: October 17th, 2004 2:32 PM Author: beady-eyed yellow brunch it is an "ammount the owner can get" though
so anything over 0 would seem to qualify |
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:05 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Also, "can get" must be analyzed. I wouldn't consider $6 as getting anything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1500994) |

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:25 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Were you already a creditor? If not, it wasn't a fraudulent conveyance either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501066) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:28 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Being a pre-existing creditor isn't required for a fraudulent conveyance. Courts consistently protect tort "creditors" for against conveyances made before torts have actually happened but are imminent. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501076) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:39 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band "Creditor" means a person who has a claim. UFTA Sec 1(4).
"Claim" means a right to payment, whether or not the right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured. UTFA Sec 1(3).
There are indeed imminent torts that give rise to claims. But did you have a claim here? |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:46 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Yes, I had a right to a payment (of her property) that hadn't yet matured (that would mature when the imminent event of her landing on my property happened). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501116) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:50 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band As I asked below, was landing on your property certain?
Actually, I think this is where the entire application of this area of the law to Monopoly the game breaks down. How are we supposed to conceptualize either landing on or not landing on a property? |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:53 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building You could conceptualize it based on the simple probabilities of the dice rolling those particular numbers. And you add in the P that she'll land on it the next time around, less the P that someone else will bankrupt her before then (negligible) and so on. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501129) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:01 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band You could. Or, you could stay within the game story and think of it as a series of discrete contracts which have not been made until the dice are rolled. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501140) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:02 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building But the liability rules / property rules (i.e., the stuff in the rules and on the deeds) fix all the events/conditions of each of those discrete contracts. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501141) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:11 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band But you are loading the question to call those "liability" and "property" rules. They are actually just game rules. You are right that they are mechanically determinate, of course: If X happens, Y will result. And we can assign probabilities to X ... but that is outside the game story. Within the game story, I think we are supposed to talk about these as voluntary acts. In other words, we roll a die and determine that our person has decided to stay at a certain place. In truth, there is no "decision" involved ... again, the game is mechanical. But within the game story, the events are described as voluntary.
And of course, you can't apply the law outside the game story ... because it is just a game. You can only pretend that you are applying the law within the game story. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:16 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Good points. Perhaps the best framework for conceptualizing it is to just to run a computer simulation, and see what happens. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501159) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:18 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band But that just calculates the probabilities of the various Xs for you. That is a fact about the game, not the game story, and again, you can't base your fraudulent transfer claim on anything outside the game story (because there are no real property transfers outside the game story). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501162) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:19 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Rathr than " a series of discrete contracts which have not been made until the dice are rolled," what about a series of discrete contracts that HAVE been made for which performance is contingent on the occurrence of certain events (i.e., a certain die roll). Sort of like a futures contract triggered by certain events. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501163) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:21 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Obviously, such contracts do exist in the real world (all enforceable bets are like that, for example).
But does that match what is going on inside the Monopoly game story? I don't think so (you pay rent--you don't pay off your bet, or your futures contract). |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:23 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Part of the game story is that in addition to playing rent, you give all your property to the landlord if you are unable to pay the rent. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501173) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:28 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Sure, but what we are talking about is what is happening before you stay there at all. In other words, in the Monopoly game story, before you have rolled the dice, it would seem to me that you are not yet planning to stay anywhere in particular. Hence, if you make a transfer, you could not be intending to defraud any creditor within the game story.
Outside the game story, of course, you could be doing this to screw another PLAYER. But again, the law doesn't apply to the game and to players outside the game story ... and within the game story, until the dice are rolled, you are not yet their landlord, and indeed may not be even after the dice are rolled. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:31 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building But just because you aren't PLANNING to stay anywhere in particular, you know that you're more likely to stay somewhere. You're conscious of the fact that the odds are different. Accordingly, you could take certain actions based on your desire to minimize the chances of a certain thing happening when you land on something you're likely to land on. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501181) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:37 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band But I think you are again slipping between the game story and the game itself. Landing on spaces is outside the game story ... in the game, you stay in hotels and houses, you don't "land on spaces".
To put this point another way, you as a player of the game of course know all sorts of probabilities, and are not staying anywhere ... nor are you really selling property.
The you in the game is apparently someone travelling around Atlantic City staying in different accomodations. Is that you in the game, which is the you that pretend-sells property, supposed to be aware of these game-level probabilities? I doubt that is how the game story is supposed to work. |

If you voluntarily want to sell something below market value, or just knowingly give it away, the law won't stop you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501046) |

Date: October 17th, 2004 3:23 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building I believe there is sometimes third party right of action for unconscionable sales (of course, not for all contracts, but for certain ones where a 3rd party's interests are at stake). Also, you can't always sell something for below market value -- there are protections against sham transactions, fraudulent conveyances, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1501055) |

You must be right about this. You can't just give everything away to your close relatives prior to bankruptcy--though I'm sure some people come pretty close. |
|

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:32 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band No, unconscionability has nothing to do with third parties (it is a consent issue). And third parties generally do not have standing to assert a claim against the enforcement of a contract.
"Sham transactions" is usually a tax term--and you weren't a tax collector.
"Fraudulent conveyances" are conveyances used to defraud creditors ... and my understanding is that you were not yet a creditor. |

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:58 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band It depends on how you interpret Monopoly events. That could be interpreted as a tort-like event, such as a 75% chance of the reactor blowing up ... but that isn't the make-believe story in Monopoly (a tort occurring). Instead, the underlying story is about exchanges: a person staying at a certain property and paying rent. In the real world, people do not randomly stay at certain property.
So, I agree that it might be a fraudulent conveyance if you sold all your goods for a song, knowing that you had a reservation at an incredibly expensive hotel. But how are we supposed to conceptualize this notion of not knowing yet whether you are going to stay at the hotel, and yet also not having that choice yourself? |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:00 AM Author: pearl disrespectful church building " In the real world, people do not randomly stay at certain property. "
Right. Monopoly the game is about a dice roll between 1 and 12. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:14 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Right, and the law has no application to Monopoly the game. There are no real sales of legal property, for example ... just pretend sales.
So, your issue only makes sense if we try to apply it within the game story, because outside the game story, there is no issue at all. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:25 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native "So, your issue only makes sense if we try to apply it within the game story, because outside the game story, there is no issue at all."
I think RWA is claiming that there's good reason to think they apply within the game story--namely, because they reflect widely accepted notions of fair play. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:42 AM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band Again, I think that is blending the game story and the game itself. "Fair play" is a concept that applies to Monopoly the game. "Fraudulent conveyance" is a concept that applies to specific real world property transfers, not games ... so if it applies directly, it applies inside the game story.
Of course, if you are saying there is a moral lesson to be learned from the property rule ... well, maybe, except Monopoly the game isn't about morality and fair play--heck, it is about monopolization! |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 3:49 AM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native The facts of a case like this actually seem pretty close to those in your own in the relevant respects.

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:42 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building I'm not challenging the transaction per se. I'm simply requesting injunctive relief to enforce MY rights (i.e., returning to the status quo) as a de facto creditor of one of the parties to the transaction.

|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:55 PM Author: gay gaming laptop the transaction was made before she landed on your monopoly, no?
(if so, you weren't a 'de facto' creditor)
an injunctive relief to return to the status quo (and who has a vested right to the status quo anyway?) would necessarily entail a nullification of the transaction which, again, you don't have standing to ask for.
no pound of flesh for you! |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 4:59 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building I'm no different than the tort creditor (I explained this above... do a search ... -- the power plant company that sells all of its assets right before the place blows up). You need a vested/matured right according to the bankruptcy fraudulent conveyance statute (see above for the cite to the UFTA). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1502671) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 5:13 PM Author: gay gaming laptop there was no tort here. the tort creditor statutes exist to protect the state or society having to pay for foreseeable injuries and medical harm. here there is no such interest and using that statute to buttress your interpretation of the monopoly rules is silly. even scalia, j., thinks so.
It was also by no means a certainty that the other player would have landed on your property thus causing any right of yours as creditor to vest. actually, wasn't it even more likely that she wouldn't have landed on your property? (with 11 possible dice sum combinations, and only three spaces with hotels, your claim of 'imminence' doesn't wash) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 5:22 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Come on, you know better than that. The probability of landing on my squares isn't 3/11ths. I'm sure you can figure out that some dice rolls are more likely than others. Or do law students not know math these days?
Of course there is no tort. I'm making an analogy to show you how there are de facto creditors in general. I would either be a creditor of a property interest or a contract (depending on how you view the Monopoly game situation of landing on a square and paying rents), and I'm protected by foreseeable attempts to avoid such obligations. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 5:27 PM Author: gay gaming laptop I said 'dice sum possible combinations.' never said 3/11. still, I bet the odds of landing on your spaces was less than 1/2.
I'm saying that the fact that this isn't a tort is a distinction with a difference. not only were you not a 'de facto' creditor, but there is no policy that would be served by granting you any kind of relief here, and thus no reason to interpret the monopoly rules as you would have us. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 5:33 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Also, I still contend that the actual probability should be based on the chances that I will bankrupt her at some point (if the game were replayed perfectly say 10,000 times).
I _am_ a de facto creditor, and obviously the statute protects de facto creditors (the language about unmatured, unvested, etc.) because it recognizes the policy justifications for protecting someone in my situation. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 5:45 PM Author: gay gaming laptop that's such bullshit. the team that scores first in a baseball game will, over 1000 games, more likely than not win the game. but we don't vest the yankees with a world series title (or even a victory in that game) when they score first. even if it was probable (which it probably wasn't), you still need to allow for the significant factor of luck, and the moves and transactions of the other players.
what's the cite to the statute? can you find me a case where a third party could challenge a contract like this one? you've got the burden of proof. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 5:53 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building A team that is up by 10 runs in the 9th inning is an imminent winner.
The statute was cited above by sexpert. I don't feel like doing a search on this now, given that the baseball game is on. I'll do it later. People pay top law students like me the big bucks to research such complex issues. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 6:09 PM Author: gay gaming laptop yet they still play out the rest of the inning. the yankees are up 3-0 against the sox and are an imminent winner of the series, yet they still play game 4.
you still haven't answered my point about it being less likely than so that she would have landed on your spaces on the next roll.
bottom line--you have no claim because you quit before you became (or even were likely to become) a creditor. counted your chickens before they hatched! |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 6:13 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building "you have no claim because you quit before you became (or even were likely to become) a creditor."
No no no. She sold her property before her turn, and then immediately landed on my space. I protested AFTER it happened. The chickens hatched. |

Date: October 17th, 2004 6:24 PM Author: Topaz Bat-shit-crazy Toaster Elastic Band For what it is worth, during this discussion I became convinced RWA had a better "claim" under the law than I originally thought. As I understand the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, it is really a question of intent: if you are making a transfer with the sole intent to keep the property away from a creditor, it can be fraudulent even if that is a FUTURE creditor.
My only remaining point above was that within the game story, I am not sure that would fit this situation--the real world players of the game may know that RWA is a likely future creditor, but the fictional monopolist within the game story may not have such knowledge. Still, that is a relatively technical point about games--and I, for one, learned something new about the law. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 6:26 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Interesting (and I see the game story vs. real life distinction).

Date: October 17th, 2004 6:44 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building Your intent can be deduced from other things besides your statements. (Your statements itself are sufficient, though.) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1503399) |

Date: October 17th, 2004 6:51 PM Author: indecent brilliant kitty cat multi-billionaire like what? like the fact that i called you jew boy in return for your more demeaning slur of "spic"?...or because i called you a money grubber, like i called CALM a money grubber in the second game last night?...or maybe it's the xoxo board comments that reveal how liberal i am...well hells bells, why don't we just blame it on the fact that i got a full ride from a very jewish law school and the taste of jewish money makes me want to screw all jews out of what they think is theirs...what i did was fair and square and i gave you advanced notice that i might do such a thing but you happened to miss it and were thus surprised...either way, it was fun-ny (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=95271&forum_id=2#1503446) |

Date: October 17th, 2004 6:58 PM Author: pearl disrespectful church building "what i did was fair and square"
No it wasn't. All of the legal experts agree that it was 1) dirty play, and 2) illegal.
"and i gave you advanced notice that i might do such a thing but you happened to miss it and were thus surprised"
What good does that do? There was nothing I can do to stop it. |

Date: October 17th, 2004 7:11 PM Author: indecent brilliant kitty cat multi-billionaire no, my response is that unless the rules say otherwise, my move was LEGAL...you can only go by what the rules say for this particular game, which exists in its own little world...if it were otherwise then we would have to question those $1 sales between me you and calm...oh yeah, one other thing, HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Date: October 17th, 2004 7:17 PM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native "We've proven that your move was illegal based on the rules."
Where did you prove that? Like I said, you'd have to stretch the loans statute. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2004 7:04 PM Author: yapping misunderstood ladyboy native "All of the legal experts agree that it was 1) dirty play, and 2) illegal."
This thread was funny stuff, but Monopoly rules determine Monopoly legality. Dirty play? I guess, but I thought it was in jest. Illegal? Maybe a Monopoly judge would rule it as such by stretching the Monopoly loan statute you cited. |

Can you point to some possible cases (RWA already outlined one hypothetical)? |
