A pretty large proportion of "player shenanigans" stories amount to "we ignored the rules and allowed something ridiculous to happen". This is fine if that's what your group wants to do, but can't really be expected to be relatable to the community at large.

It's similar to the stories about level 5 groups who miraculously defeat an ancient red dragon or whatever. It invariably only happens because of some utterly absurd homebrew/ruling, or the GM just played the dragon as an idiot.

I mean, which is has more weight? RAW or RoC?

Rules as Implemented. which includes every codified house rule as well as every misunderstanding of the printed rules.

In the moment at the table, arguably RoC, but that's still not necessarily going to convey well to anyone who wasn't there.

Also, assuming OP's previous submission is the "player shenanigans" which prompted this then it's my opinion that it wasn't cool at the table, either.
