Past CFJs do not have the status of Rules. They are meant to guide
play, but they cannot overrule a Rule if they conflict with one.
Rules are nothing without actors who obey them. And the same
actors interpret the judgements and their own authority as judges.
In that sense, actors can indeed overrule a Rule through
a judgement. Doing so using a similarly egregious example to the
emperor proposal in my last post is exactly what created
Lindrum World. Only difference today is it takes a conspiracy
of several now (pass the proposal, or defend a judgement through
the appeals process). In the end, if the collective playership
choose to play as if 1==2, there's little a protester can do
except resign.

I already am. This would be more interesting if it deemed something
with game effect. How about "Goethe is deemed to be an index value
greater than 2, but less than unanimity."?
