unsuccessful for Kylin due to Ea having stepped down prior to the posting of this steal.
unsuccessful for Solace due to insufficient clues.
The rules state that information must be directly about the horse. The examples given are breed and color, both attributes of the character. Traits would also be acceptable, as would references to their color (like frame as as clue for Solace). Pedigree and siblings are the examples given for unacceptable information, because they aren't observable attributes of a character. Player name and date of reign's would fall under that same umbrella, as would Database ID number, as would any clues pertaining to a character's children.
Regarding a rule modification: Steals are valid regardless of ruler changes during the 72 hours. The issue with this steal is the timing. It was posted after Ea had already stepped down. Had it been posted before that, it would still be valid. We're going to leave the rules as is for now, but this is a great example of how we end up with so many rules - there are so many unique situations!
