OOC: Yeah, but it's not quite used in the same context in GA #600. :P

Personally, I'm very reluctant to post a legality challenge on the basis of Real World Reference if only because I do not actually believe it to be illegal on that basis. I am unsure that it is legal, but I am not convinced that it is illegal, and I would rather that the thread be posted by someone who is actually willing to fight the case. That being said, I do think the potential Meta-Gaming violation is harder to ignore, so I might launch a challenge on that basis alone.

You can mention month names in resolutions.[1]. Regarding Metagaming, I see no basis for it breaking the fourth wall; obviously resolutions must pass at some date in-universe.

Neville: Wouldn't the fact that the delegations of this Assembly voted in favour of the resolution constitute sufficient advice? Believe me, I have as much distaste for the author's conduct as I do for Harold's pies...

Harold: How dares you?!

Neville: ...but I am not sure if this argument is strictly accurate.

"It would not. Their votes constitute their consent, which I do not challenge the existence of. Enacting law by and with advice by member offices requires their feedback to enter into how the law is written. Since the authoring delegation submitted it before even announcing it to a public chamber, it was not enacted by and with the advice of our members."
