I temporarily deputise as Arbitor to assign the following CFJ. The below is CFJ 4052. I assign it to Murphy.
=============================== CFJ 4052 =============================== ais523 has 33 ais523 stamps. ========================================================================== Caller: 4ˢᵗ Judge: Murphy ========================================================================== History: Called by 4ˢᵗ: 09 Oct 2023 12:04:27 -0700 Assigned to Murphy: [now] ========================================================================== Caller's Evidence: https://www.mail-archive.com/agora-business@agoranomic.org/msg45421.html Arguments FOR: That's what the Minty Stone's description says. Arguments AGAINST: The description of a stone does not necessarily define the effects of a stone when it is thereby wielded. See the mismatch between the wording of rule 2640 and 2641, whereby "description" does not necessarily align with "any effects that it defines as occurring when the stone is wielded." Is it necessarily true that description of a stone is to be interpreted when determining that it has any effects? Rule 2640/4 (Power=2) Stones A stone is a unique indestructible liquid asset defined by the rules. To define a stone, the definition must include: (i) A name unique among stones; (ii) The smoothness of the stone, which is a non-negative integer; (iii) A description of the stone's properties (iv) Optionally, a frequency, which must be one of daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Ownership of stones is entirely restricted to Agora and active players. If a stone is owned by the Lost and Found Department or in abeyance, it is immediately transferred to Agora. The Stonemason is an office, and the recordkeepor of stones. Mossiness is a Stone switch with values of non-negative integers and a default of 0 tracked by the Stonemason. When a stone is transferred from Agora to a player or from a player to Agora, its Mossiness is set to 0. The mossiest stone(s) in a set of stone is (are) the stone(s) with the highest Mossiness value. The Slipperiness of a stone is that stone's smoothness plus its mossiness. Rule 2641/2 (Power=2) Wielding Stones Except as otherwise specified by the rules, the owner of a stone CAN wield it by announcement specifying any values needed to interpret the stone's effects. A stone with a frequency that has been wielded in the corresponding Agoran time interval is Hot for the remainder of the time period (e.g. if the frequency is daily, it is hot for the remainder of the Agoran day it was wielded during). While a stone is hot, it is IMPOSSIBLE to wield it or to transfer it by announcement When a stone is wielded, the Rule defining that stone applies any effects that it defines as occurring when the stone is wielded. The wielding of stones is secured. -- 4ˢᵗ Uncertified Bad Idea Generator
