============================= CFJ 3463 ============================= I own a White Ribbon. ====================================================================== Caller: Alexis Judge: Gaelan Judgement: TRUE ====================================================================== History: Called by Alexis: 24 Oct 2016 Assigned to aranea: 24 Nov 2016 aranea recused: 19 May 2017 Assigned to Gaelan: 19 May 2017 Judged TRUE by Gaelan: 19 May 2017 ====================================================================== Caller's Arguments: I've owned a White Ribbon before, under a different name. That name is still listed in the Tailor's report as owning a multitude of Ribbons, none of them White. When I re-registered recently, naturally, nobody else knew of that, and so the Tailor's report reflects my combined Ribbon holdings. But the report has since self-ratified. ====================================================================== Gratuitous Evidence by G.: The following section of the Tailor's Report had self-ratified at the time this CFJ was called. Alexis demonstrated that e was the same person previously known to Agora as scshunt. Ribbons Date of this report: Thu 13 Oct 16 Date of last report: Sat 20 Aug 16 This is a list of all persons owning Ribbons, detailing which ribbons they possess: ROGCBMUVIPLWKY ais523 OG MUV P WKY Alexis C W Y aranea ROGCBM V PLW Y Bede M W G. ROGCBM PLW Y Gaelan M Y Murphy C Y nichdel C M Y omd C UV KY scshunt RO CBMU P KY stadjer W Sprocklem M W Y Tekneek M Tiger BM the Warrigal M ====================================================================== Judge's Arguments: I judge 3463 and 3464 as TRUE. My reading of the rules (person can communicate logical thoughts, player is a registered person) makes me believe that Alexis and scshunt refer to the same player, and therefore are synonyms. Therefore, I believe that the "ratified" Tailor's report is equivalent to this: Alexis: CWY Alexis: ROCBMUPKY R1551 states that "An internally inconsistent document generally cannot be ratified." Therefore, the tailor's report never ratified. Because Alexis and scshunt are the same person, they share a ribbon switch and therefore Alexis has all ribbons from both sets. ======================================================================
