Yeah... If a CFJ on the condition would be judged TRUE or FALSE (so not UNDECIDABLE or something else), the condition is clear so I think the intent is also clear. Of course, if the condition status is FALSE... There's no registration. =P
That being said, if we're going on intent alone... One could make a statement like "I register if and only if Roujo is the Rulekeepor", expecting it to fail. If, for some reason, I'm the Rulekeepor at the time... The intent was not there, but the condition is fulfilled. Should there be a registration then? Oh, so many questions. =P ~ Roujo On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 7:10 PM, John Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > > --- On Mon, 1/31/11, Kerim Aydin <[email protected]> wrote: > >> From: Kerim Aydin <[email protected]> >> Subject: BUS: Conditional registration at all? >> To: "Agora Business" <[email protected]> >> Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 12:20 PM >> >> >> CFJ, barring Bucky: In general, a conditional >> attempts to register fail. >> >> Arguments: >> >> A conditional expression of intent to register does not >> indicate >> "reasonably clearly and reasonably unambiguously that e >> intends to >> become a player at that time."
