OFF: [Assessor] Resolution of Proposals 8031-8032

[Kerim Aydin]

I resolve the Agoran Decisions to adopt Proposals 8031-8032 as follows:

FOR/AGAINST: 4/1
RESULT:  ADOPTED


TEXT OF ADOPTED PROPOSALS

//
ID: 8032
Title: Free Tournaments
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: G.
Co-authors:


Amend Rule Rule 2464 (Tournaments) by replacing:
  within 4 weeks
with:
  within 3 months

and by appending the following sentence to its text:
  The person who initiates a tournament is its Gamemaster.


Create the following Rule, Free Tournaments:

  A player who is not the gamemaster of an existing tournament CAN
  initiate a sanctioned tournament with a specified set of regulations
  with 2 Agoran Consent. A tournament created using this method is
  called a Free Tournament. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, only
  players CAN win the game via a free tournament.

  A free tournament CAN be concluded with no winner without 3 objections.
  Tournaments SHOULD only be concluded in this manner if it is clear that
  its regulations are malformed or contrary to the tournament's intent or
  that it is IMPOSSIBLE for any player to win the tournament.

[Kerim Aydin]

I resolve the Agoran Decisions to adopt Proposals 8029-8030 as follows:


8029 Blots v1.0 by {G., Aris}, AI=3.0
FOR: 2xG., Murphy, Aris, Corona, Trigon
AGAINST:
PRESENT: ATMunn

FOR/AGAINST: 6/0

TEXT OF ADOPTED PROPOSALS 

//
ID: 8029
Title: Blots v1.0
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: G.
Co-authors: Aris


[I'm keeping this MODDULAR.  Meaning I'm changing Cards to blots.  I'm
NOT plugging into land/currencies.  Instead I'm making a simple time-
based expunging system ('Removing Blots') that is a stub for adding
Temples or whatnot once this all works and once we've thoroughly
debugged land.]


Create the following Rule, Blots, power-2:

  Blots are an indestructible fixed currency with ownership
  restricted to persons. A person with 1 or more blots is Impure, a
  person with 0 blots is Pure. An impure unregistered person is a
  Fugitive.

  To Levy a Fine of N on a person, where N is a positive integer,
  is to create N blots in eir possession by announcement. To Expunge
  a blot is to destroy it by announcement. If expunging blots would
  reduce a person's blots to less than 0, their blots are instead
  reduced to 0 but the cost of expunging, if any, is not reduced.

  Levying fines and destroying blots are each secured with a power
  threshold of 1.7.

  The Referee is an office, and the recordkeepor for blots.


Create the following Rule, Penalties, power-3:

  Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, an impure person CANNOT win
  the game.

  The voting strength of a player on an Agoran Decision is reduced
  by 1 for every 3 blots in eir possession.


Create the following Rule, Removing Blots, power-1.7:

  If a player has neither gained blots nor expunged any blots from
  emself in the current Agoran week, e CAN expunge 1 blot from
  emself by announcement.

  At the beginning of each quarter, half (rounded down) of each
  fugitive's blots are destroyed.



Amend Rule 2478 (Vigilante Justice) to read:

  A player CAN by announcement, but subject to the provisions of
  this rule, Point eir Finger at a person (the perp) who plays the
  game, citing an alleged violation of the rules by that person.

  When a player Points a Finger, the investigator SHALL investigate
  the allegation and, in a timely fashion, SHALL conclude the
  investigation by:

  - Imposing the Cold Hand of Justice on the perp, as described
elsewhere; or

  - if e believes that no rules violation occurred or that it would
be ILLEGAL to levy a fine for it, announcing the Finger Pointing
to be Shenanigans.

  The Referee is by default the investigator for all Finger
  Pointing. When a Finger, other than the Arbitor's, is Pointed over
  an allegation related to the official duties or powers of the
  Referee, then the Arbitor CAN, by announcement, take over the
  investigation and thereby become the investigator.

  The Referee CANNOT Point eir Finger. The Arbitor CANNOT Point eir
  Finger at the Referee.


Create the following Rule, Sentencing Guidelines, power 1.7:

  When the rules authorize an investigator to impose the Cold Hand
  of Justice for a violation, e CAN do so by levying a fine on the
  perp with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2x the base value of the
  violation, within the following guidelines:

  - If the violation is described by the rules as a Class N crime,
then N is the base value; otherwise the base value is 2.

  - The fine SHOULD be reduced to the degree that the violation is a
minor, accidental, and/or inconsequential infraction.

  - The fine SHOULD be increased to the degree that the violation is
willful, profitable, egregious, or an abuse of an official
position.

  Optionally, in the same message in which e imposes justice, the
  investigator CAN specify that the violation is forgivable,
  specifying up to 10 words to be included in an apology.  If the
  investigator does so, the perp CAN, in a timely fashion, expunge P
  blots from emself, where P is the minimum of the value of the fine
  and 3, by publishing a formal apology of at least 200 words and
  including all the specified words, explaining eir error, shame,
  remorse, and ardent desire for self-improvement.


Amend Rule 2479 (Official Justice) to read:

  The Referee CAN, subject to the provisions of this rule, impose
  Summary Judgment on a person who plays the game by levying a
  fine of up to 2 blots on em. Summary Judgement is imposed on the
  Referee's own initiative, and not in response to any official
  proceeding.

  The Referee CANNOT impose Summary Judgement more than three times
  a week.


Amend Rule 2531 (Referee Accountability) to read:

  Any attempt to levy a fine is INEFFECTIVE if it does not include

OFF: [Registrar] the Great Zombie Auction for April

[Kerim Aydin]

I initiate a zombie auction with the following lots. The ITEMS in each 
lot is to have that player's master switch set to the auction winner.  
The AUCTIONEER is Agora. The ANNOUNCER is myself (as Registrar).  The 
MINIMUM BID/CURRENCY is 1 Coin.  The auction ends 7 days after this
announcement, or 96 hours after the last bid change (whichever comes 
first).

* LOTS (from highest to lowest winning bid):
 pokes, o, Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, nichdel, Quazie  



COMMENTARY:  

There's only one auction.  Place bids in coins.  Highest bidder gets 
pokes, second-highest gets o, etc.  Ties go to earlier bidder.  

Your bid is automatically cancelled at the end if you don't have the 
funds in hand.  I think we've patched it so that bid attempts that
aren't positive integers just fail.  

The order is my rough guess at who might be most likely to re-animate
themselves (i.e. pokes least likely). If some of these persons cease
to be zombies during the auction, the whole auction may be shut down.


FOR REFERENCE, CURRENT TEXT OF Rule 1885, "Zombie Auctions", following 
proposals 8023 and 8028:

Rule 1885/6 (Power=2.0)
Zombie Auctions
 
  Whenever a zombie (1) has Agora for a master, (2) an auction for it
  is not underway, and (3) has not been won as an auction lot in the
  past 14 days, then the Registrar CAN put that zombie (along with any
  other zombies that fulfill the same conditions) up for auction.

  In a timely fashion after the beginning of each month, the Registrar
  SHALL either initiate such an auction or, if no zombies meeting these
  conditions existed at the beginning of the month, announce that no
  such auction is necessary.

  For such an auction, the lots are the qualifying zombies, ordered at
  the discretion of the Registrar. The Registrar is the announcer, and
  the minimum bid is 1.

  The Registrar CAN, by announcement, flip the master switch of a zombie 
  lot from Agora to that lot's winner after the winner has paid for the 
  lot; for the purposes of the auction, to transfer a zombie to a player 
  is to set that zombie's master switch to that player.

OFF: [Registrar] November Zombie Auction

[Kerim Aydin]

I initiate a zombie auction, with the following lots (each zombie a 
separate lot) ordered as follows (highest-bid first):

1. V.J. Rada  

Agora is the Auctioneer, and the Registrar is the Announcer.  The 
currency is Coins with a minimum bid of 1.

OFF: Prime Minister Election begins its nomination period

[Kerim Aydin]

Having received 2 support, I initiate an Election for Prime Minister.

The Nomination Period lasts for 4 days.


As required, I become a candidate.

Players are Encouraged to nominate themselves - the perks of the extra
vote are great!  The work is almost nonexistent.  

As a minor encouragement of competition, I pledge that the first-ranked
choice in my vote will be neither myself nor the current incumbent
(unless e and I are the only two candidates).

OFF: deputy-[Registrar] Weekly Report

[Kerim Aydin]

I deputize for the Registrar to publish the below Weekly Report.

[Just figured I should leave a final report before retiring.  If there
are no corrections in the next day or so I'll resign again.]

I should note, I'm not sure what the record is for the shortest time 
between an initial registration and a win, but D Margaux is definitely
a contender at 35 days max, and maybe less.  Well Done!

  Order of the Lemming

OFF: [Registrar] Zombie auction - 6 zombies

[Kerim Aydin]

I initiate a zombie auction, with the following lots (each zombie a 
separate lot) ordered as follows (highest-bid first):

1. pokes   
2. 天火狐   
3. o 
4. Kenyon 
5. Quazie 
6. Ouri 

Agora is the Auctioneer, and the Registrar is the Announcer.  The 
currency is Coins with a minimum bid of 1.

[Side note:  I am leaving V.J. Rada out on purpose - I think I have
the requirement to start a zombie auction each month that starts with
at least one zombie belonging to Agora, but I have discretion over
whether to leave some zombies out, it's the difference between "any"
and "every" in the first paragraph of R1885].

OFF: [Registrar] Zombie auction - 4 zombies

OFF: [temporary Assessor] Results for Proposal 8164

[Kerim Aydin]

By temporary deputisation for the Assessor, I resolve the Agoran decision to
adopt Proposal 8164 as follows:

Proposal ID: 8164
Title: Correction to Agoran Satisfaction, Version 2.4
Author: Falsifian
Co-authors: ais523, D. Margaux, G., twg
Adoption Index: 3.1

VOTES
FOR:  G., Halian, Gaelan, D. Margaux, L, Falsifian, Murphy
AGAINST: (none)
PRESENT: (none)
Voting Strength F/A:  21/0
Quorum: 5 (met)

Outcome:  ADOPTED

TEXT OF ADOPTED PROPOSAL:

The gamestate, excluding the rules, is changed to what it would have
been if the text of the following amendment to Rule 2124 had determined
whether Agora was Satisfied with any intents attempted after Proposal
7815, rather than the text of what Rule 2124 was at that time. To the
extent allowed by the rules, this change is designated as a convergence.

Rule 2124 is amended by replacing its text with the following:

 A Supporter of an intent to perform an action is an eligible
 entity who has publicly posted (and not withdrawn) support (syn.
 "consent") for an announcement of that intent. An Objector to an
 intent to perform an action is an eligible entity who has publicly
 posted (and not withdrawn) an objection to the announcement of
 that intent.

 The entities eligible to support or object to an intent to perform
 an action are, by default, all players, subject to modification by
 the document authorizing the dependent action. However, the
 previous sentence notwithstanding, the initiator of the intent is
 not eligible to support it.

 Agora is Satisfied with an intent to perform a specific action
 unless at least one of the following is true:

 1. The action is to be performed Without N Objections, and there
are at least N Objectors to that intent.

 2. The action is to be performed With N support, and there are
fewer than than N Supporters of that intent.

 3. The action is to be performed with N Agoran Consent, and the
number of Supporters of the intent is less than or equal to N
times the number of Objectors to the intent.

 The above notwithstanding, if an action depends on objections, and
 an objection to an intent to perform it has been withdrawn within
 the past 24 hours, then Agora is not Satisfied with that intent.

 The above notwithstanding, Agora is not satisfied with an intent
 if the Speaker has objected to it in the last 48 hours.

 A person CANNOT support or object to an announcement of intent
 before the intent is announced, or after e has withdrawn the same
 type of response.

OFF: Contest wrap-up

[Kerim Aydin]

Thanks, all!  This was fun.

Purses:
I transfer 25 coins to Galean.
I transfer 15 coins to Telnaior (bonus award for close 2nd place).

I announce my intent to award Gaelan the unique patent title "Too
Intense" with 2 Agoran Consent.

I announce my intent to award Telnaior the patent title "Tiger Team"
with 2 Agoran Consent.  (see proposal below)

I note, as may be required by No Faking, that the above dependent
action processes require a rules fix (possibly retroactive) before
succeeding.

I submit the following Proposal, "The Tiger Team", AI-1:

Amend Rule 2581 (Official Patent Titles) by inserting the following
paragraph immediately following the paragraph that begins
"- Helping Hand":

- Tiger Team, awardable by any Officer to any player who points
  out a usable rules bug that would directly provide em with a
  strong game advantage if e used it, but proposes a fix without
  attempting to use the bug.

OFF: [Herald] vote for the best Ruleset find

[Kerim Aydin]

VOTE!
Who had the best loophole, bug, or scam during Read the Ruleset week?
VOTE!

Here starts an UNOFFICIAL AGORAN DECISION with the following modifications:
-  Ranked choice:  It's not bad form to vote for yourself, but please
   consider 2nd, 3rd, etc.
-  Counting long term-watchers' votes too!  If ais523, Ørjan, or other
   watchers would like to opine.
-  Using the Auction method for ending the decision (4 days since last
   vote, no more than 7 days total).
-  I'll give my own votes in 24-48 hours.

OPTIONS (vote for the person)

Telnaior illustrating that contracts can make infinitely-rewarding reports:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039875.html 


(unjudged; arguments for it working stronger than arguments against IMO,
fix proposed).


Gaelan's attempt to win by Apathy, by using two messages for the same
intent:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039934.html 


(Judged to have succeeded on reconsideration, though caught up in broader
issues of Satisfaction, fix proposed).


CuddleBeam arguing that Agora is a Contract, possibly a worldview shift:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039955.html
(Judged to be true, may be more of a curiosity than a practical matter, but 
it's a curiosity very much in the Agoran spirit).



twg attempt to use contracts to induct the unwilling:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039950.html
(Judged to have failed, but pointed out the need for clearer wording or
stronger protections in the Rules).


Honorable Mentions:

D. Margaux working the Contract Bug:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039896.html
(and when twg scooped em, followed up with a different approach):
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039953.html

CuddleBeam pointing out that space wins are infinite:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/039895.html

Falsifian, for pointing out that Satisfaction has been borked for over 2
years (unfortunately late for the contest!  But the biggest bug correction
for a while and Falsifian is working hard on a fix).
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-February/040023.html

twg's assertion that Rule 2571 is guilty of violating Rule 105.  (also too
late to enter):

OFF: [Herald] It's (nearly) Read the Ruleset Week!

[Kerim Aydin]

Please Read the Ruleset - a mini-competition pledge by the Herald

I pledge to attempt to award an appropriate unique patent title to
whomever points out the most interesting or fun Rules loophole or
unexpected Rules interaction during Read the Ruleset week. Further, I'll
give a purse (from my personal holdings) of 25 coins to said person,
if at all possible.

Details:

- If it's a scam, you don't necessarily have to try to attempt to pull
off the scam to enter.  But feel free to!  If you do try it as a scam,
the results must clean up after themselves and "be nice" or will be
disqualified.

- Loopholes that require rules violations to work are disqualified.

- If the consensus is that the loophole is a bug, you must propose a
fix.

- Bonus points for the longer the loophole has sat in the rules
unnoticed, whether it's obvious once pointed out, and other aspects
of cleverness of the whole thing (i.e. relying on really iffy twisting
of definitions or rules readings is a minus).

- Final decision is the Herald's, but I'll try to find consensus (and
of course the Patent Title award needs 2 Agoran Consent).

Caller's Arguments:

I suspect that the text is not clear and therefore the four-part test
must be applied. I believe it is in the best interest of the game to
impose criminal liability for the violation of the Rules as much as
possible. I also believe that it is perfectly reasonable as a matter of
text to impose criminal liability on "any player" who by failing to act
in "performing the ritual" (despite being able to do so) leads to a
violation of the command that "the ritual must be performed".

I note that we don't apply American law here, just like we don't apply
Klingon law, unless it is specifically stated in the rules. Although
American law principles may be applied as a part of the four part test,
American law is of course occasionally atextual common law (or atextual
statutory interpretation). Agora specifically provides that the text
controls, precluding a test of "wrongness" in deciding whether something
is a criminal violation in the first place, appearing nowhere in the text..

V.J. Rada said there's some precedent, but we haven't been able to

it, H. Judge o decided that publishing a revision to a report in
response to a claim of error fulfills a duty for the purpose of the
Rewards rule.

Ignoring precedent, I think it's TRUE. R2143 defines "official duty
for an office", but I don't see "duty" defined in the rules. The first
definition in Wiktionary is "That which one is morally or legally
obligated to do". omd was both legally (in the sense that the rules
required em) and morally (in the sense that one should do what one
promises) obligated to publish that report.

Caller's Arguments:

I argue that when a player announces that e expunges a Blot from emself,
then e is the one destroying the Blot. Thus, under Rule 2577, the Blot
CANNOT be destroyed, as it was not destroyed "by a proposal or rule,
other than [Rule 2577], specifically addressing the destruction of
indestructible assets or that asset in particular", but rather by the
Player.

I argue that Rule 2240 ("No Cretans Need Apply") does not apply, as the
definition of an asset being "indestructible" does not occur in Rule
2555, but Rule 2555 rather defers to Rule 2577 for the definition, and
then later attempts to override the definition in Rule 2577. Thus the
conflict is between two Rules, rather than within the text of a certain
rule.

If the above two arguments are found valid, then Rule 1030 ("Precedence
between Rules") states that the Rule with the higher Power takes
precedence. In this case that is Rule 2577. This would mean that Blots
CANNOT be destroyed.

I thus argue that the ruling on this CFJ should be FALSE.


Caller's Evidence:

Excerpt from Rule 2555/2 ("Blots")
[Power=2]

  Blots are an indestructible fixed currency with ownership
  restricted to persons.

  [...]

  To expunge a blot is to destroy it.

  [...]

  If a player has neither gained blots nor expunged any blots from
  emself in the current Agoran week, e CAN expunge 1 blot from
  emself by announcement.


Excerpt from Rule 2577/1 ("Asset Actions") [Power=3]

  An asset generally CAN be destroyed by its owner by announcement,
  subject to modification by its backing document. An indestructible
  asset is one defined as such by it backing document, and CANNOT be
  destroyed except by a proposal or rule, other than this one,
  specifically addressing the destruction of indestructible assets
  or that asset in particular; any other asset is destructible.

==

Caller's Arguments:

Under Rule 104, a notice initiating an Agoran decision is “invalid”
unless it contains “[a] clear description of the valid options.”  On 19
May 2019, the ADoP sent two messages purporting to initiate an election
for Prime Minister, but neither of those messages clearly described the
valid options as required by rule.  Therefore no PM election was commenced.

In the first attempt,[1] Murphy stated that “the valid options are the
candidates (G. and Corona).”  That did not clearly state the valid
options because Aris was also a candidate.

In the second attempt,[2] Murphy stated that “Aris may also be a
candidate” and that, “[i]f voting for Prime Minister is not yet open,
then I open it (details as below except Aris is also a candidate).”
That message did not clearly identify the valid options, because it
stated only that Aris *may* be a candidate, not that e *was* a
candidate. Additionally, that message initiated an election
*conditioned* on the old election being invalid; as a result, a
reasonable Agoran reading that message in isolation would be unable to
determine whether the PM election was initiated by message [1] or [2],
and therefore could not know what the “valid options” were.  In my view,
that means that message [2] did not contain “[a] clear description of
the valid options.”

Because neither message clearly described the valid options, both
messages failed to initiate an election under Rule 104.

Judge's Arguments:

Under Rule 2596 (the Ritual), “[a]ny player CAN perform the Ritual by
paying a fee of 7 coins,” and “[t]he Ritual MUST be performed at least
once in every Agoran week.”  Under Rule 2152 (Mother, May I?), “MUST”
means that “[f]ailing to perform the described action violates the
rule in question.”  During one particular Agoran week, the “described
action” (the Ritual) was not “performed,” and a player pointed eir
finger at all other active players for allegedly violating the rules
by their failure to perform the Ritual.  The question is whether the
Cold Hand of Justice CAN (and MUST) be imposed on those players
consistent with Rule 2531 (Referee Accountability).

Under Rule 2531, a fine CANNOT Be imposed if (among other things):

> (2) it attempts to levy a fine on a person for an action or inaction
> which e (more likely than not) did not commit; [or]
>
> (3) it attempts to levy a fine for an action or inaction which is not
> prohibited by the rules . . . .

In my capacity as Referee, I offered a proto-decision on this
issue.[1]  At that time, my opinion was that the players' "inaction"
caused a rule violation, and, as a result, the CHoJ could be imposed
consistent with Rule 2531(2) and (3).

I now believe that reasoning is wrong.

Each players' "inaction" was a necessary (but not sufficient) cause of
a violation of the rules.  But the Rules do not prohibit *causing* a
violation of the Rules.  Indeed, there are a great many actions that
are necessary causes for any particular rule violation.  For example,
G.'s action proposing the adoption of The Ritual rule was a necessary
cause of the violation of that Rule.  It would be contrary to the best
interests of the game for causation of a rule violation to be
considered itself a violation of the rules.[2]  Indeed, the Rules
expressly prohibit a player from causing a zombie to violate the rules
(Masterminding), and that demonstrates that the Rules can
differentiate between violating a rule and causing a violation of a
rule.

In sum, although in this instance the individual and collective
"inaction" of the players did *cause* a rule violation, that inaction
was not itself directly prohibited by the Rules.  As a result, under
Rule 2531(3), the CHoJ CAN'T and MUSTN'T be imposed, because doing so
would "attempt[] to levy a fine for an . . . inaction which is not
prohibited by the rules."

I can't figure out why that "+ 30c." would have happened.

R2576 says that the Lost and Found Department owns things that "would
otherwise lack an owner", but I don't think there was any point at
which {the 30 Coins formerly owned by nichdel} existed and lacked an
owner. Even if we imagine an instant of time between when nichdel
ceased to be a Player and when eir 30 Coins were destroyed by the
first paragraph of R2576, nothing in the Rules says that at that
instant nichdel could not own those Coins, so the Coins did not lack
an owner. After the 30 Coins were destroyed, those 30 Coins do not
exist, so there likewise aren't 30 Coins that lack an owner at that
time either.

Judge's Arguments:

TRUE. Under R2483, coins can be owned by Agora, players, and contracts.
Nichdel owned 30 coins. Nichdel was a player, and so could own coins,
but then became a non-player, and at that point could not. When e was
deregistered, the coins became owned by a non-player person, and where
therefore destroyed by R2576.  Nichdel did not cease to exist, so the
coins never lacked an owner and the Lost & Found never became the owner
of those coins.

This CFJ has lots of layers, so in order to help myself and the readers
understand the situation better, I will work from the inside out.

Suppose that omd pledged not to state any falsehoods and then stated
"omd violated Rule 2450 by saying this sentence." Whether this is a
violation is not easily ascertainable because it is a paradox; in fact
it is simply a slightly abstracted version of the most basic
self-reference paradox "This sentence is false."

So, moving out a layer, is it LEGAL to create a proposal that contains a
paradoxical statement after vowing to not create any proposals
containing false statements? No.

Judge's Arguments:

1. Arguments


There was a long conversation on the discussion list, starting around
when D.  Margaux called a CFJ (later withdrawn) on the thread "[Referee]
Recusal (attn H. Arbitor)" in May 2019, and continuing on the thread
"Proto-judgements of CFJs 3726 and 3727" in June 2019. I will not try to
repeat everything here.

V.J. Rada said there's some precedent, but we haven't been able to
find it. omd found CFJ 3551, which isn't quite the same situation: in
it, H. Judge o decided that publishing a revision to a report in
response to a claim of error fulfills a duty for the purpose of the
Rewards rule.

Ignoring precedent, I think it's TRUE. R2143 defines "official duty
for an office", but I don't see "duty" defined in the rules. The first
definition in Wiktionary is "That which one is morally or legally
obligated to do". omd was both legally (in the sense that the rules
required em) and morally (in the sense that one should do what one
promises) obligated to publish that report.

--

Judge G.'s Arguments:

There are three terms that have to be evaluated for this CFJ: "Duty",
"Fulfilling", and "Report".

Duty

I agree with the Caller that the term is not defined in the rules, and
therefore we use a common definition.  In context, though, the
appropriate definition not the general "moral obligation"[*] but "a task or
action that someone is required to perform."  In this case, "required"
is a keyword, and our meaning of REQUIRED is not so far from the common
definition that it should be not used:  by the Rules, a duty is a task a
person is REQUIRED to perform (or not perform).  Since this is the
Rules, outside requirements don't count as duties (e.g. the report I was
required to give to my boss doesn't count). Keeping pledges counts for this.

Fulfilling

This can be read two ways.  (1) A publication that has previously
fulfilled a duty (including someone else's duty) counts or (2) the act
of publication being rewarded must be the duty-fulfilling act.  I find
that the best reading, reasonably supported by the grammar and clearly
supported by the intent,  is that the publication is not
"duty-fulfilling" unless the act of publication being rewarded is
fulfilling a duty (otherwise the publication is a *copy* of a
duty-fulfilling report, which is not the same thing).  So republishing
other peoples' formerly duty-fulfilling reports doesn't count.
Sorry.

Report

I agree that "report" is not explicitly defined by the rules.  However,
several implications about "reports" are made in R2143/27.  There's two
options here:  (1) a "report" is anything fitting the common definition
of report, or (2) a "report" is limited to documents described in R2143.
I'll look at both options.

The relevant common definition of "report" is "an account given of a
particular matter, especially in the form of an official document".
The "especially" in the common definitions, in itself, is not enough to
limit reports to what Agora defines as "official".  Therefore, by this
interpretation, any REQUIRED published account of information would be a
"report".  We allow synonyms, so the keyword "report" need not be used
in setting up the requirement.

Under this interpretation, the Assessor makes reports of votes is
resolving decisions.  An auction announcer makes reports of bids at the
end of an auction, etc.  Any time a player is REQUIRED to provide any
factual information, would would constitute a duty-fulfilling report of
said information.  Further, since basic by-announcement assertions are
factual, fulfilling ANY required duty by announcement would be a report
of doing so.  If we use the common definition, I can't find any lines to
draw that don't seem artificial (e.g. restricting it to the term
"report" or requiring report-like formatting, etc.).  Therefore, to go

Gratuitous arguments from V.J. Rada
===


Words take their ordinary meaning when not defined by the rules. Coins
are
defined by the rules as "the official currency of Agora tracked by the
Treasuror" under rule 2483 "Coins". A currency is "a class of asset
defined
as such by its backing document". A backing document is a rule or
Contract.
Therefore pesos, which are defined by the laws of Mexico, are not coins.

All times are UTC.

  omd initiates an auction, specifying "the currency is coins".

2019-06-05 12:57

2019-06-06 21:24

  Trigon announces: "I bid TWO UNITED STATES DOLLARS."

2019-06-07 01:59

  Trigon announces: "I bid TWO MEXICAN PESOS."

Judgement
=

The below is essentially V.J. Rada's argument, plus a bit more about
what "UNITED STATES DOLLARS" and "MEXICAN PESOS" are.

Rule 2550 regulates bidding in auctions:


A person authorized to bid on an Auction CAN do so by
announcement, specifying the amount of the Auction's currency to
bid.


The Rules define a currency as "a class of asset defined as such by its
backing document". Rule 2166 ("Assets") defines assets to be entities
"defined as such by a document that has been granted Mint Authority by
the Rules", and defines the only kinds of document that have Mint
Authority: rules and contracts.

The question is: did either of Trigon's bids specify an amount of the
auction's currency?

The auction's currency is "coins". The rules only define one currency
called "coins". I don't know whether any contracts exist that also
define currencies called "coins", but if there are any they haven't been
seen in a while. So it's clear that omd was referring to the currency
"Coins" defined by Rule 2483.

In the ordinary language sense, "UNITED STATES DOLLARS" and "MEXICAN
PESOS" are units of currency. They could conceivably refer to coins, but
they only way the could refer to Agoran Coins is if Trigon was using
Agoran jargon I'm not aware of, and that doesn't seem likely. (Slightly
relevant: G. recently posted on the discussion list about CFJ 3663,
which has some observations about jargon.)

I judge CFJ 3735 TRUE.

Judge Murphy's Arguments:

Paragraph of Rule 1006 in question:

  An imposed office is an office described as such by the rule
  defining it. All others are elected. A person CANNOT be made the
  holder of an elected office without eir explicit or reasonably
  implied consent.

While this is not explicitly stated, it seems in the best interests of
the game to interpret this as limited to consent given during the
overall process (election or what have you) that led to that particular
installation. Perhaps the office has since been mousetrapped, and while
that's a fine scam against the guy who actually did consent during the
current election, it shouldn't also catch the guy who consented to a
different election for the same office a year ago.

The statement of this CFJ doesn't specify which election it has in mind,
so I judge it TRUE - Corona did explicitly consent to the election in
progress at that time (assuming there was one) - but it doesn't
constitute em consenting to the more recent election.

Caller's Arguments:

I argue that, if the contract were to come into force, then the Rules
would "limit" the performance of breathing, namely that parties to the
contract would be prohibited from breathing. This limiting would apply
due to the excerpt from Rule 1742, which requires that parties to the
contract act in accordance with it. In this case, requiring the parties
to act in accordance with the contract has the same effect as
prohibiting breathing. Prohibition of an action is a form of limiting
its performance. This would cause breathing to fall under the definition
of being regulated under Rule 2125. I thus argue that this CFJ should be
judged TRUE.
--

Caller's Evidence:

Contract:

{

All parties to this contract SHALL NOT breathe.

}

(I explicitly do NOT consent to this contract.)


Excerpt from Rule 2125 ("Regulated Actions"):

  An action is regulated if: (1) the Rules limit, allow, enable, or
  permit its performance; (2) describe the circumstances under which
  the action would succeed or fail; or (3) the action would, as part
  of its effect, modify information for which some player is
  required to be a recordkeepor.


Excerpt from Rule 1742 ("Contracts"):

  Parties to a contract governed by the rules SHALL act in
  accordance with that contract. This obligation is not impaired
  by contradiction between the contract and any other contract, or
  between the contract and the rules.

--

Initial Judge's Arguments by Trigon:

When a player "SHALL NOT" perform an action, e "violates the rule in
question" [Rule 2152 "Mother, May I?"]. Any parties to this theoretical
contract would still be able to breate but to do so would violate the
rule. Whereas this does not constitute a limitation, I judge this CFJ
FALSE.

Gratuitous arguments by G.

I think V.J. Rada had it right - the Rules don't punish breathing, they
punish breach-of-contract.  The fact that breach-of-contract comes from
breathing doesn't make the rules "reach into the contract" to regulate
breathing.

In particular this phrase in R1742 is interesting:
  Parties to a contract governed by the rules SHALL act in
  accordance with that contract. This obligation is not impaired
  by contradiction between the contract and any other contract, or
  between the contract and the rules.

So we can have a contradiction (the contract prohibits breathing, while the
rules don't regulate it) but this doesn't "impair" punishment for violating
R1742.  That clause applies directly "if you sign a contract for something
unregulated, it doesn't matter

  A person earns a Cyan Ribbon when e temporarily deputises for an
  office.

==

Caller:G.

Judge: Falsifian

==

History:

Called by G.: 16 Jun 2019 18:34:55
Assigned to Falsifian:[now]

==

Caller's Arguments:

From Rule 2438 (Ribbons):
  Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office, that person earns
  a Cyan Ribbon.

The question is whether "temporary deputisation" is a sub-category of
"deputisation" (deserving of a Ribbon) or if the qualifier makes it
something totally separate and not ribbon-earning.

From Rule 2160 (Deputisation):
  5. the deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is
 doing so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation
  [...]
  When a player deputises for an elected office, e becomes the
  holder of that office, unless the action being performed would
  already install someone into that office, and/or unless the
  deputisiation is temporary.

The "deputisation or by temporary deputisation" implies they're
distinct things and not sub-categories, but the "unless the
deputisation is temporary" implies one is a sub-category of the other
(these are the only usages in the whole Ruleset of the term
"temporary".

It makes some kinda sense that a ribbon reward is reserved for when
you actually take on an office, but I don't have a prejudice
otherwise: FWIW when I wrote the "temporary" rule I didn't think about
ribbons at all so there was no particular intent.

Caller's Arguments:

For context, Rance said:

> able to give away each item in each of the Auction's lots."
>
> If Agora was unable to transfer the zombie ownership at the time the
> auction was initiated, does that mean the initiation failed in the first
> place?

But I think the initiation worked, because R1885 says "the Registrar
CAN put that zombie ... up for auction", and R1885 has higher power
than R2549. R2549 describes the method for initiating auctions (by
announcement), and R1885 says that the Registrar CAN, so my attempt
satisfied both of the R2125 conditions: "A Regulated Action CAN only
be performed as described by the Rules" and "only using the methods
explicitly specified in the Rules for performing the given action."
The CANNOT that appears later in R2549 that Rance quotes is overruled
by the CAN by the higher-powered R1885.

OFF: [Arbitor] CFJ 3742 assigned (and judged)

[Kerim Aydin]

The below is CFJ 3742.

It seems like it was answered to the Caller and everyone else's
satisfaction.  So to avoid extended process:

I assign it to myself.

I judge:  FALSE: by R2550, bidding success doesn't depend on having
the bid amount at the time of the bid.

Arbitor policy (not a pledge):  For this one or similarly "trivial"
cases, I won't claim a reward.  If it turns out via discussion to be
non-trivial, I'll file a Motion, recuse myself, and reassign to
someone else.  I'll still publish a [CotC] summary.

Gratuitous argument from R. Lee:


Gratuitous argument. Even if "deputisation" or "temporary

deputisation" are

totally distinct categories, the Cyan Ribbon category uses the word
"deputises" rather than "deputisation". A person who engages in "temporary
deputisation", even if distinct from "deputisation" still engages in the
_verb_ "deputising".


--

Gratuitous argument from ais523:


The origin of the "you get a Cyan Ribbon for deputising" rule is older
than the "you gain an office by deputising for it" rule (although the
former hasn't been in the ruleset continuously, it was repealed for a
while and came back later). So at the time the concept was created,
deputising had no connotation of taking on the office at all, only of
helping to keep Agora running despite delinquency in the reports.


--

Judge Falsifian's Arguments:

Rule 2438 (Ribbons) says: "When a person deputises for an office, that
person earns a Cyan Ribbon." As R. Lee points out, this uses the verb
"deputises" rather than the noun "deputisation". The rules don't
directly define that verb, so let's use some common sense.

The only other references to the verb "deputise" I see are in Rule 2160
(Deputisation):


A player (the deputy) CAN perform an action ordinarily reserved
for an office-holder as if e held the office if

...

4. either (i) the office is vacant, (ii) the aforementioned time
   limit expired more than fourteen days ago, or (iii) the deputy
   announced between two and fourteen days earlier that e intended
   to deputise for that office for the purposes of the particular
   action; and

...

When a player deputises for an elected office, e becomes the
holder of that office, unless the action being performed would
already install someone into that office, and/or unless the
deputisiation is temporary.


Both of these uses imply that to use temporary deputisation is to
deputise. The first, "...e intended to deputise for that office..."
would still make sense if "deputise" were defined more narrowly, though
in my opinion it would be strange. The second, though, is more clear:
"When a player deputises ... e becomes ... unless ... the deputisation
is temporary." There would be no reason for that "unless" if the verb
"deputises" didn't include temporary deputisation.

The caller argues "It makes some kinda sense that a ribbon reward is
reserved for when you actually take on an office". It may be in the best
interests of the game for this to be the case, but deputisation only
barely requires a player to "take" an office, since e can resign
immediately after deputisation, so this does not seem like a strong
argument. (I am not sure whether the player would be required to fulfill
that office's weekly and monthly duties because e held the office at
some point during

"A repealed rule... MUST be reenacted with the same ID number" - i.e.
all repealed rules are guilty of not being reenacted.

--

Judge R. Lee's Arguments:

In CFJ 3713, a companion to this case, Hon. G. held that "The rule in
question should be read with the preamble. In other words:

   Where permitted by other rules, an instrument generally can, as
   part of its effect, (3) reenact a rule. A repealed rule identified by
   its most recent rule number MUST be reenacted with the same ID number
   and the next change identifier.

This makes it clear that it's the instrument doing the re-enactment, a
player CANNOT (unless e is an instrument).  What it means for a non-Player
instrument to violate a MUST - well, I dunno, but it doesn't apply to
Gaelan.  I find FALSE."

According to this precedent*, the instrument is the one "doing the
re-enactment", which would be at issue in this case. If you read the
rule with its preamble, it is clear to any reasonable English speaker
that, although the sentence at issue facially prohibits any repealed
rule from not being reenacted, the text after the "with" instead sets
out set of instructions for reenacting a rule. A reenacted rule MUST
be identified by its last ID number, and then given the same one (and
the entity that would do this is the instrument reenacting the rule,
although of course the Rulekeepor assigns ID numbers, and therefore
every instrument reenacting a rule is guilty). In the case of the rule
at issue here, which was repealed but never reenacted, no instrument
reenacts the rule. This CFJ is FALSE.

*Although a CFJ must be judged as if the judgement were at the time
the CFJ was called, I see nothing wrong with considering precedent
from after the calling as persuasive, especially, when as here, the
two would have likely been linked if not for the original Arbitor's
oversight.

Caller's Arguments:

I argue that, if the contract were to come into force, then the Rules
would "limit" the performance of breathing, namely that parties to the
contract would be prohibited from breathing. This limiting would apply
due to the excerpt from Rule 1742, which requires that parties to the
contract act in accordance with it. In this case, requiring the parties
to act in accordance with the contract has the same effect as
prohibiting breathing. Prohibition of an action is a form of limiting
its performance. This would cause breathing to fall under the definition
of being regulated under Rule 2125. I thus argue that this CFJ should be
judged TRUE.
--

Caller's Evidence:

Contract:

{

All parties to this contract SHALL NOT breathe.

}

(I explicitly do NOT consent to this contract.)


Excerpt from Rule 2125 ("Regulated Actions"):

  An action is regulated if: (1) the Rules limit, allow, enable, or
  permit its performance; (2) describe the circumstances under which
  the action would succeed or fail; or (3) the action would, as part
  of its effect, modify information for which some player is
  required to be a recordkeepor.


Excerpt from Rule 1742 ("Contracts"):

  Parties to a contract governed by the rules SHALL act in
  accordance with that contract. This obligation is not impaired
  by contradiction between the contract and any other contract, or
  between the contract and the rules.

--

Initial Judge's Arguments by Trigon:

When a player "SHALL NOT" perform an action, e "violates the rule in
question" [Rule 2152 "Mother, May I?"]. Any parties to this theoretical
contract would still be able to breate but to do so would violate the
rule. Whereas this does not constitute a limitation, I judge this CFJ
FALSE.

Gratuitous arguments by G.

I think V.J. Rada had it right - the Rules don't punish breathing, they
punish breach-of-contract.  The fact that breach-of-contract comes from
breathing doesn't make the rules "reach into the contract" to regulate
breathing.

In particular this phrase in R1742 is interesting:
  Parties to a contract governed by the rules SHALL act in
  accordance with that contract. This obligation is not impaired
  by contradiction between the

RULES SUMMARY

This section is purely informational and does not self-ratify.

The rules for Ribbons are set out in rule 2438. A quick guide to how
most Ribbons work: various events cause you to "earn" a Ribbon; you
then "qualify for" that Ribbon for 7 days (if you do not already own
that Ribbon, and have not owned it recently). While you qualify for a
Ribbon, any player can "award" you that Ribbon. A few Ribbons work
differently; see rule 2438 for details.

Approximate summary of how each type of Ribbon can be gained:

Red  Earn when your proposal amends a Power-3+ rule
Orange   Earn when your proposal is unanimously adopted
GreenQualify by holding an elected office for 30 days *
Cyan Earn by deputising for an office
Blue Earn by judging a CFJ *
Magenta  Qualify during Agora's Birthday
Ultraviolet  Earn by becoming Champion (typically by winning the game)
Violet   Earn by gaining a Patent Title (except Champion, degrees)
Indigo   Earn by gaining a degree
Platinum Qualify by being Speaker
Lime Qualify by co-authoring three adopted proposals in 7 days
WhiteQualify by never having had a White Ribbon; or
  Awardable by anyone who has never gifted a White Ribbon
blacKAcquirable only by proposal or scam
grAy Awardable monthly by the Tailor
Transparent  Qualify by earning or qualifying for 5 Ribbons in 7 days

* without violating any related time limits

OFF: [Arbitor] CFJ 3749 Assigned to Trigon

[Kerim Aydin]

The below CFJ is 3749.  I assign it to Trigon.


===  CFJ 3749  ===

  The ordered list [Agora] is a valid vote in the ongoing ADoP
  election.

==

Caller:Jason Cobb

Judge: Trigon

==

History:

Called by Jason Cobb: 01 Jul 2019 02:33:16
Assigned to Trigon:   [now]

==

Caller's Arguments:

CFJ 3746 has been resolved such that the Agoran Decision for the
election has a voting method of instant runoff. Therefore, by Rule 2528,
the valid votes include "the ordered lists of entities". [Agora] is an
ordered list of entities. Therefore, [Agora] is a valid vote in this
election.

--

Caller's Evidence:

Excerpt from Rule 2528 ("Voting Methods"):

The valid votes on an Agoran decision are:

1. PRESENT;

2. The valid conditional votes, as defined by rules of power at least
   that of this rule; and

3. For an instant runoff decision, the ordered lists of entities.

4. For any other decision, the valid options.

Caller's Evidence:

My previous message:

I pledge, under penalty of a Class "I'm a string!" Crime, not to
make any pledges for the next 24 hours

Excerpt from this message [sent after previous message]:

I pledge, under penalty of a Class "I'm a string!" Crime, not to
make any pledges for the next 24 hours.

I fully admit that I am guilty of the above accusation.

Excerpt from Rule 2450 ("Pledges"):

If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform
(or refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the
pledge within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of
Oathbreaking, where N is 2 unless the pledge explicitly states
otherwise. The time window of a pledge is 60 days, unless the
pledge explicitly states otherwise.

Excerpt from Rule 2557 ("Vigilante Justice"):

When the rules authorize an investigator to impose the Cold Hand
of Justice for a violation, e CAN do so by levying a fine on the
perp with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2x the base value of
the violation, within the following guidelines:  - If the
violation is described by the rules as a Class N crime, then N
is the base value; otherwise the base value is 2.

--

Caller's Arguments:

Assume that I am guilty of the crime (which is a different CFJ);
otherwise, this is clearly FALSE.

Because I am guilty of a class "I'm a string!" crime, the investigator
CAN impose a fine on me. As specified by Rule 2557, the base value of
the crime is "I'm a string!". Thus, the investigator of this crime CAN
impose a fine not less than 1 (Blot) and not more than 2 * ("I'm a
string!") (Blots), whatever that means. I argue that any attempt to
assign a numeric value to "I'm a string!" (besides perhaps the number 0)
would be arbitrary and without textual backing. If the number 0 were to
be assigned, then the investigator would have to impose a fine upon me
with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 0 on me, which is the subject of
CFJ 3743.

My arguments here are effectively the same as CFJ 3743: only one of
TRUE, FALSE, and PARADOXICAL is appropriate. TRUE doesn't really work,
because there is no numeric value for which the investigator physically
can fine me. FALSE doesn't really work because the Rules explicitly
state that the Investigator CAN do so. PARADOXICAL is what's left, and
thus might be the only one appropriate.

Gratuitous Arguments by G.:

When you submit a proposal, it is "optional" to include an adoption index
(R2350).  The default value in R1950 is "none" so that likely means the
result (if you submit without specifying at all) is a proposal with "AI =
none".

If you submit with an invalid (but optional) AI, I'm not at all sure
whether it invalidates the proposal creation or sets it at default.

For example, in the case of Rule Changes, if you say "Amend Rule 
([Title])", including the [Title] is optional, but if you specify the
title incorrectly, precedent holds that it invalidates the whole rule
change as overly ambiguous, though that relies on the "Any ambiguity..."
clause in R105 specific to Rule Changes.
Falsifian specified an (invalid) AI of 0.5 when submitting the proposal
in question. So for more general by-announcement actions, does
specifying an invalid but optional parameter invalidate the whole process?

I create a proposal with the following attributes and text:

   A proposal is a type of entity consisting of a body of text and

   specifying its text and optionally specifying any of the following
   attributes:

   * An associated title.

   * A list of co-authors (which must be persons other than the

Judge D. Margaux's Arguments:

The question in both is, when a player attempts to create a proposal
with an invalid adoption index, does the attempt fail or does the AI
retain its default value?

I think it retains its default value.

A player can create a proposal "by announcement," if e specifies certain
mandatory attributes. The failure to state a valid adoption index does
not make the attempted proposal creation INEFFECTIVE, because that
attribute is an optional specification.

   within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of

--

Judge G.'s Arguments:

If a sentence mixes its tenses, using explicit future tense and explicit
past tense, it generally comes out as nonsense (Dr. Dan Streetmentioner
notwithstanding).  For example: "I promise in the future to not have run
away yesterday" is just plain old ambiguous and fails to set up actions
or tests.

The rules language in question is:
 > If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform (or
 > refrain from performing) certain actions...

After looking at several online grammar references, I reach the
conclusion that "I pledge to [action]" or "I promise to [action]" is a
future tense construction equivalent to "I promise that I will
[action]".  So the pledge in question has mixed tenses and is ambiguous
- too ambiguous to be clearly breakable in any meaningful way.

There are two alternatives given the ambiguity.  The first is simple:
to say the whole thing was a failed attempt to make a pledge and didn't
do anything due to the ambiguity.  Straightforward.

A second alternative disambiguation is that one tense dominates.  In
this case, it would be the past tense, given the explicit use of
"previous" in the pledge statement.  However, we could no longer read
this as a "promise to do something" because that is inherently future
tense and would remain ambiguous.  Rather, if this statement is
"translated" to be wholly past tense, the only reasonable construction
is "I promise that I didn't do X previously" instead of "I promise that
I won't do X previously."  In this case, it's a sworn statement of fact,
not a pledge - so if X did happen previously, it would be subject to No
Faking (if done to mislead), but not a subject for Oathbreaking.

Either way:  FALSE.

The Proposal Distribution (not the Proposal) was CoE'd on the AI (the

AI is an essential parameter, that means the attempt to distribute the

the CoE "correctly identified the lack" of a valid AI).

Therefore the decision was never initiated - it was invalid.  (This

Caller's Arguments:

Rule 1950 (Decisions with Adoption Indices, Power=3):
   Adoption index is an untracked switch possessed by Agoran
   decisions and proposals, whose value is either "none" (default)
   [...]
   For any Agoran decision with an adoption index, the voting method
   is AI-majority.

This states outright that Agoran decisions have AIs, and any decision with
an AI has a voting method of AI-majority.  The fact that the value of the AI
is "none" doesn't mean the AI is nonexistent.
This directly conflicts with the last part of this clause in R2154
(Power=2), but R1950 wins the conflict due to having power=3:
   1) If the election is contested, initiate an Agoran decision to
  select the winner of the election (the poll). For this
  decision, the Vote Collector is the ADoP, the valid options are
  the candidates for that election (including those who become
  candidates after its initiation), and the voting method is
  instant runoff.

--

Judge R. Lee's Arguments:

Under rule 1950, each Agoran Decision has an Adoption index switch with a
default value of "none" and each Decision with an AI has a voting method of
AI majority. The question is do elections (defined in rule 2154), Agoran
Decisions with an Adoption index switch, have an adoption index, requiring
them to use the voting system of AI majority? I find that they don't and
accordingly judge this CFJ FALSE.

Agoran Decisions must use AI majority if they are decisions "with an
adoption index" under rule 1950. I find that this phrasing does not refer
to decisions with an adoption index _switch_, but instead refer to
decisions with an adoption index switch set at a value other than "none".
The application of the AI voting system only to agoran decisions "with an
[AI]" shows a clear intent to only apply it to a subset of Agoran
Decisions, not all of them as a TRUE judgement would hold. And it is not
only a possible textual reading, but by far the best one, to read decisions
with an AI of "none" to not have an AI. After all, that's what "none"
means: not any. It would be atextual* to hold that a decision with an AI
_switch_ set  to "not any" still has an AI.

This CFJ is FALSE. The voting system for elections is IRV as provided in
rule 2154.

*And worse as a matter of policy, but I need not address policy because I
am required to use direct, textual forward reasoning and the text is clear

Caller's Arguments:

This was apparently claimed to be false a week or two back, with a
comment along the lines of "these resemble votes but are not in fact
votes". I had long assumed that the implicit "I vote as follows" was
backed by strength of custom, similar to "TTttPF".

Gratuitous Arguments by G.:

We definitely accepted these sorts of ballots traditionally, but we added
stricter language a few years back (but have not raised the issue in CFJ
since then, I think).

P7814 'FOR Require Intent on Ballots' (o), 28 Oct 2016 inserted this
text in R683:
   (d) The ballot clearly sets forth the voter's intent to place the
   identified vote.

Caller's Evidence:

My previous message:

I pledge, under penalty of a Class "I'm a string!" Crime, not to
make any pledges for the next 24 hours

Excerpt from this message [sent after previous message]:

I pledge, under penalty of a Class "I'm a string!" Crime, not to
make any pledges for the next 24 hours.

I fully admit that I am guilty of the above accusation.

Excerpt from Rule 2450 ("Pledges"):

If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform
(or refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the
pledge within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of
Oathbreaking, where N is 2 unless the pledge explicitly states
otherwise. The time window of a pledge is 60 days, unless the
pledge explicitly states otherwise.

--

Caller's Arguments:

This is so blatantly contrary to intent (especially since Rule 2557
uses "Class N Crime", where N is obviously intended to be a number),
but appears consistent with the wording, so I think this should be TRUE.

Caller's Arguments:

The award in question is not a fee-based action at all.  R2579 specifies
that if a *correct* fee-announcement is (but e.g. the actor does not have
the fee) then no asset holdings are changed.  In the case of an
"incorrect" fee-announcement, there's no fail-safe that I can find one
way or the other - do the assets change?

Caller's Arguments:

tl;dr it probably works, but some recent rule changes *might* mean some
old precedents need to be revisited via CFJ.

Longer answer:  There's some deep precedents around this type of thing.
 Strictly speaking you haven't declared intent at all these different
levels - you've just *said* you did.  To actually do it, you have to
write all of those out (all 501 of them).  However, it was long-ago
recognized that absolutely requiring 501 statements was a pain in the
butt for everyone and was actually *less* clear than a loop like you
did, because someone could hide something in a long list.  So we (wholly
through precedent) found that "shorthand" works (e.g. a loop procedure)
- on the condition that it would be fairly trivial to write out the
whole thing anyway.

The logic is as long as you're just saving us all a little time and the
looping is really clear, it's just a shorthand.  But if you try to do
things that would be "hard to impossible" to write out in full, it fails
because you're saying you did something that you couldn't practically do.

So, for example, you couldn't use an infinite loop to make an infinite
series of intents.   You couldn't use a finite but "excessively large"
loop either - there's an email size limit on the archives (a bit bigger
than the FLR, idk exactly) so the idea is if it was really long, we'd
say "since a fully-written out email wouldn't be possible to send, a
loop of that size doesn't work either".

In your case 501 single-line intents is pretty small, so no problem.

HOWEVER.  That's the general case for all actions.  We recently changed
the langauge for intents in particular.  We changed:

 1. A person (the initiator) announced intent to perform the
action, unambiguously and clearly specifying the action and
method(s)

to:

 1. A person (the initiator) conspicuously and without obfuscation
 announced intent to perform the action, unambiguously and
 clearly specifying the action and method(s)


The addition of "conspicuously and without obfuscation" was purposefully
added for the sole purpose of cracking down on attempts to hide intents,
including through algorithmic processes that are opaque.  This is one of
the strictest communication standards in the rules, and we haven't put
too much case law into figuring out what it means.

Does your loop meet these standards - it seems *reasonably* clear to me,
but in light of the new stringent standards I wouldn't be too horribly
surprised if a CFJ found the other way.

Judge Aris's Arguments:

This case concerns the exact meaning of the phrase "unambiguously,
clearly, conspicuously, and without obfuscation". It is well established
what it means of someone to say something "unambiguously" and "clearly"
(and clear that the announcement in this case was both), but current
Agoran law does not define the terms "conspicuously" and "without
obfuscation", which may well be the highest standard that has ever been
imposed for publication.

First off, I'm going to discuss how this absurdly high standard came to
be, not so much because it's judicially necessary as because I think
it's interesting. It used to be that announcements of intent to perform
dependent actions only had to be public, unambiguous, and clear. At some
point, players realized that they could slip such announcements into
places where others would be unlikely to read them. While such actions
had perhaps previously happened from time to time, they became a day

Caller's Arguments:
The Oath does not explicitly state any time window, it instead says "for
at least the next 30 days". The "at least" arguably prevents the "30
days" from being definite, thus the pledge does not "explicitly [state]"
that its time window is any specific time window; it instead purports to
be binding for any one of an infinite range of time windows. If my
understanding is correct, then, under Rule 2450, the time window is 60
days, and this CFJ should be judged TRUE.

Gratuitous Arguments by G.:

When you submit a proposal, it is "optional" to include an adoption index
(R2350).  The default value in R1950 is "none" so that likely means the
result (if you submit without specifying at all) is a proposal with "AI =
none".

If you submit with an invalid (but optional) AI, I'm not at all sure
whether it invalidates the proposal creation or sets it at default.

For example, in the case of Rule Changes, if you say "Amend Rule 
([Title])", including the [Title] is optional, but if you specify the
title incorrectly, precedent holds that it invalidates the whole rule
change as overly ambiguous, though that relies on the "Any ambiguity..."
clause in R105 specific to Rule Changes.
Falsifian specified an (invalid) AI of 0.5 when submitting the proposal
in question. So for more general by-announcement actions, does
specifying an invalid but optional parameter invalidate the whole process?

I create a proposal with the following attributes and text:

Rule 2350/11 (Power=3)
Proposals

   A proposal is a type of entity consisting of a body of text and
   other attributes. A player CAN create a proposal by announcement,
   specifying its text and optionally specifying any of the following
   attributes:

   * An associated title.

   * A list of co-authors (which must be persons other than the
 author).

   * An adoption index.

   Creating a proposal adds it to the Proposal Pool. Once a proposal
   is created, neither its text nor any of the aforementioned
   attributes can be changed. [...]

The Proposal Distribution (not the Proposal) was CoE'd on the AI (the
Distribution listed the AI as 0.5, which is wrong regardless).  Since
AI is an essential parameter, that means the attempt to distribute the
proposal and create a decision failed, by R107. (using R107 language,
the CoE "correctly identified the lack" of a valid AI).

Therefore the decision was never initiated - it was invalid.  (This
all happened before the CFJs were called).

Arguments filed with motion to reconsider, by Aris:

I’m strongly tempted to move to reconsider this, and apologize for
failing to provide arguments earlier (honestly, I totally forgot about
this case). I really don’t think this opinion adequately considers the
other sensible possibility: that the proposal fails entirely.
To begin with, when someone submits a proposal, they’re performing the
action of creating an entity that has certain properties. If creating an
entity with the properties specified is impossible, there’s no way for
them to do that (the speech act cannot make itself true). This is a very
different situation from the one where they leave something blank, and
we fill it in with a default value. There, the person is still
performing the speech act they wrote out, it’s just that the entity they
create also has additional properties. Here, we’re actually rewriting an
ineffective speech act to turn it into an effective one, which feels
deeply disturbing and totally unlike the way Agora speech acts normally
work.

Another problem is that, since we’re rewriting what someone said, we
break referential transparency and bump into other coun
