Caller's Arguments:
I think the first one is trivially FALSE, as there is nothing
other than the group's self-appointing text to actually make it satisfy
the 3-member requirement.

The document referred to above would be a group if 3 players
consent to it.

Caller's Arguments:
The second one is more complex. A large portion of the terms in the
rules defining groups are undefined. What's more, a group's membership
must be initially 3. Since this "group"'s membership was initially 0 or
maybe 1, does that make it fatal to it ever being a true group?

- If The Bank had three members participating in it, it would be
reasonable to call it an organization, albeit a small one.
- The document in question is indeed labelled as a set of Ordinances.
- Since the document claims to be subordinate to Agora ("This
document... is an agreement under the jurisdiction of the rules of
Agora."), it is a SLC whether or not the abbreviation implies
anything.
All the requirements for something to be a Group are satisfied, so the
answer to the spirit of the question is TRUE. However, the document
itself would not be a Group; rather, the abstract entity composed of
The Bank's members, with the document as its Ordinances, would be a
Group. Therefore I judge FALSE.
========================================================================
Judge omd's Evidence:
[CotC: full body of G.'s original message, included at judge's request]
I publish the following document:
{
The Bank
ORDINANCES (The Subordinate Legal Code, or SLC)
1. This document constitutes an agreement known as The Bank, and
is an agreement under the jurisdiction of the rules of Agora.
A Member is an Agoran Player who is currently bound by this
agreement.
2. Provided The Bank has 3 or more members, The Bank is a group
as defined by the rules of Agora.
3. The Ordinancekeepor and Vizier of The Bank is G.
4. If The Bank has fewer than 3 members, than any player CAN
become a Member by public announcement if e has not left
(ceased to be a member of) The Bank in the previous 7 days.
If The Bank has 3 or more members, another person CAN become
a member without 2 objections from other members.
5. A Member CAN leave The Bank by announcement.
6. Any Member CAN cast or retract votes on Agoran Decisions on
behalf of the Group, by announcement.
7. Marks are a Currency. The recordkeepor of Marks is the
Vizier. Marks CAN only be created as described explicitly
by these Ordinances.
8. When a person becomes a Member, the Vizier CAN and SHALL,
asap, create 10 marks in the new Member's possession. When
this Ordinance takes effect, 100 Marks are created in the
possession of The Bank.
9. These ordinances can be changed With Support of half its
members (rounded down), With Notice.
}
I agree to the above. -G.
