I think the resolution is incorrect because it incorrectly names the option selected by Agora. You didn't have the authority to "select a candidate that received at least as many votes as any other candidate", and the one you named turned out to be incorrect. But just in case you're right, the self-ratification infinite loop is easy to fix: I CFJ on the statement "ais523 or the Monster resolved the Agoran Decision to to choose the holder of the Mad Scientist office on or around October 13, 2008." -root
