I respond to the CoE on the latest Horsened report, citing this CFJ.
Arguments for FALSE:
Rule 2579 (Fee-based Actions) states
If the Rules associate payment of a set of assets (hereafter the
fee for the action; syns: cost, price, charge) with performing an
action, that method for performing that action is a fee-based
method.
I believe it is clear enough that the action being taken is a singular one,
with only one "associated set of assets" which just happens to be repeated.
Therefore paying one fee is enough to satisfy both instances, because all
of the requirements to perform the action are met:
To use a fee-based method, an entity (the Actor) who is otherwise
permitted to perform the action must announce that e is performing
the action; the announcement must specify the correct set of
assets for the fee and indicate intent to pay that fee for the
sole purpose of using that method to perform that action.
The correct set of assets for the fee would be "1 hoof" as it is written in
the rules, "2 hooves" isn't written anywhere so it wouldn't make much sense
for it to be an "associated set of assets". Perhaps it would make sense if
it was two separate fee payments of 1 hoof, that each needed to be
specified separately, but the rules don't specify the two descriptions of
the fee as being 2 separate fees to be paid.
