Staff fucked up my old blog of ten years, so I remade.
I'm Ariadne (and others), and I'm trans (she/it), I'm a lesbian, and I'm in my 30's. Too many interests to list out plus my memory is kinda shit so I don't remember half at any given time.
I have a FFXIV sideblog at @kharia-adarkim
There's also an NSFW sideblog, if you're over 18 and have your age in your pinned//bio you can DM me for it.

in general i do really like when the 'boundaries for rules and penalties for breaking the rules' are (correctly) understood as part of 'how the game is played' in competitive games. ppl always get really snippy about this kind of thing but i lay firmly on the side of "the spirit of the rules does not exist, the rules exist as they are enforced". and so anyway i just noticed you forgot your pact trigger earlier and you just tapped out for a spell, so im putting that on the stack now.
Actually! This is now the correct enforcement of the rule at competitive REL. Like any other missed trigger, the player is given the opportunity to put it on the stack at the point that they realize it's been missed, though they of course get warned (as does their opponent) for failure to maintain game state. So the correct way to catch your opponent out for forgetting a pact trigger *is* to get them to tap out some mana, then call over a judge and point out their pact trigger, at which point they cannot pay and lose.
You can actually see pro tour, magic world cup, and mythic invitational winner Andrea Mengucci do *exactly* this to (also) pro tour, magic world cup, and mythic invitational winner Simon Nielsen (mentioned just to point out even pros mess up, not glaze them for no reason) in this video (timestamped, it happens over the next 2 minutes). The exact situation mentioned in the OP. So Miss vitreous-sight has it entirely correct *and* that's actually the exact advice given by Mengu.
