Thanks.

I withdraw my consent for the amendment "VP Drain Fix".

I propose the following amendment, delimited by {...}, to the
Obstructive Pooling contract. I consent to it.


Title: VP Drain Fix v1.1
Co-author: Jason

{

At the end of the following paragraph:

Decipoints are a currency. A Victory Point is worth ten Decipoints
and a Victory Card is worth 25 Decipoints.

add the sentence:

A Victory Product is a Victory Card or a Victory Point.

Replace:

The Trustee CAN transfer Victory Cards and Victory Points from this
contract to emself by announcement.

with

The Trustee CAN transfer Victory Products from this contract to
emself by announcement. Any party to this contract CAN act on
behalf of the Trustee to transfer Victory Products Points from this
contract to the Trustee.

Replace the following text:

Any player (the withdrawer) CAN act on behalf of the Trustee to
transfer Victory Cards and/or Victory Points to the withdrawer with
value up to the withdrawer's Decipoints balance; when the withdrawer
does this, that value in Decipoints in eir possession is destroyed.

with:

To Withdraw is to act on behalf of the Trustee to transfer Victory
Products to oneself. When a player Withdraws, the corresponding
value in Decipoints is destroyed from the Withdrawer's possession.

Any player CAN Withdraw Victory Products as long as all of the
following are true:

1. The contract owns no Victory Products.

2. The Victory Products being withdrawn do not exceed the
   withdrawer's balance before the withdrawal.

3. No Victory Points are being withdrawn, or the Trustee owns no
   Victory Cards, or the Withdrawal includes all of the Trustee's
   Victory Cards. (In other words: preference must be given to
   withdrawing Cards.)

so.

Proposal 8559 adds the same mechanism, but whether the proposal worked was

AGAINST; it's easy enough to avoid introducing a contradiction, as
shown in your first example, and allowing low-power rules to ever
overrule high-power rules (even with their permission) makes me
suspicious that something might break or be scammable, even though I
can't immediately think of any examples

I intend to enter the judgement of CFJ 3916 into moot, with 2 support.

Reasons:

H. Judge ais523 has followed up to my intent to reconsider with some
discussion arguments, but I think eir semantic dissections are missing the
forest for the trees somewhat.  I think this one of the rare cases where a
moot/democracy may be a better determinate of resolving the controversy.

It is a matter of post-hoc justification for Agora to consider - if I had
been PM at the time of the petition and didn't respond, would Agora have
considered it a formal petition, and therefore a penalty?

When I thought I was PM back in February, and had counterscammers arrayed
against me, I had no doubt they would use every tool in their arsenal,
including this one.  But maybe I'm wrong!  Hence, perhaps, a polling moot.

I support. This should not be taken as agreement, just a sign that I want

I intend to enter the judgement of CFJ 3916 into moot, with 2 support.

Reasons:

H. Judge ais523 has followed up to my intent to reconsider with some
discussion arguments, but I think eir semantic dissections are missing the
forest for the trees somewhat.  I think this one of the rare cases where a
moot/democracy may be a better determinate of resolving the controversy.

It is a matter of post-hoc justification for Agora to consider - if I had
been PM at the time of the petition and didn't respond, would Agora have
considered it a formal petition, and therefore a penalty?

When I thought I was PM back in February, and had counterscammers arrayed
against me, I had no doubt they would use every tool in their arsenal,
including this one.  But maybe I'm wrong!  Hence, perhaps, a polling moot.

I plan to set my Focus to Legacy.

I create the following contract called "Joebeam Deal":

Cuddlebeam and Joe are the only people that can become parties to this
contract.

One or zero parties to this contract are the Puppeteer. If there is a
Puppeteer, the other party is the Puppet. Cuddlebeam, if they are a party,
are the Puppeteer.

The Puppeteer can act on behalf of the Puppet to:
- Plan to Flip their Ministry Focus.
- Grant their Ministry Focus' Grant to the Puppeteer.
- Transfer 1 Victory Card from the Puppet to themselves, if the Puppet has
gained a Victory Card by being granted it by the Ministor by virtue of
R2624 and the Puppeteer has not done so since the last time that such an
event has happened.

The Puppet SHALL NOT plan to flip eir Ministry Focus or grant eir Ministry
Focus's Grant, except as provided for in this contract. The Puppet SHALL
NOT transfer or spend their last Victory Card, if they have been granted
one by the Ministor by virtue of R2624 and the Puppeteer hasn’t used this
contract to transfer it to themselves yet.

eir obligation to track the Unit of
> Flotation for the weeks of 31 May and 7 Jun.

[Thanks to Telna for the CFJ#s]

Judgement for the above case:

CFJ 3798 found that for information to be published in the performance of
a weekly duty, it must be "informative".  Part of that standard was:

> * Each part must be reasonably-well labelled (so we are informed as to
> what it is) [2];
> [2] Information is not information if we don’t know what information
> it’s supposed to be, so some kind of label is needed.

A buried abbreviation UF that does not appear in the rules and is buried
in a history section without explanation, in what looks like a generic
self-check script output, does not fulfill this requirement.

On timeliness, CFJ 3798 allowed for some backdating, but stated that it
would fail to qualify as being "maintained" if it was backdated much
outside the frequency of the report.  So in the May 31 report, the May 1
record is too old to be considered "maintained" for a weekly duty.

The real question is, does missing a single record of this nature
disqualify the whole report?  For example, if an officer failed to list a
new player on a list of players, it would be subject to CoE but still
would have fulfilled a reporting duty.  CFJ 3462 set a high standard
("gross sloppiness and negligence") for disqualifying a reasonable report
attempt from being a duty-fulfilling report.

So what about in this case?  The caller noted:
> In my defense, the bit requiring that I track the UF is
> in a weird place.
By this, I believe that e means that most of the "floating economy"
variables are defined in R2634, while the Unit of Floatation is in
standalone rule 2635.

However, this actually works against the caller.  If UF were listed
alongside the other Buoyancy numbers, we might say "e missed one out of
three quantities, and the one e missed can be calculated from the others -
it's mostly there" and allow it.  However, since it's in a standalone
rule, it's singled out for special attention.  It's not the officer's
place to necessarily decide the importance - the fact that there's a
standalone requirement, in a separate rule (and, I note in the SLR,
immediately following the first rule, so not particularly hidden) means
that a whole "section" of the report is missing, even if that's only a
single (labelled) number.

While the rules can be tricky and missing little things can be common,
officers should generally be knowledgeable on the plain-text duties of
their office - so in this case, missing that whole section *is* in fact
negligence.  A minor, accidental, and inconsequential kind of negligence,
to be sure, especially given the difficulty of the Treasuror's job and H.
Treasuror Trigon's high level and quality of past service, but still
negligent enough to disqualify the report.

I find FALSE.

Frankly, this seems unfair and like trying to have it two ways.

Do you really have any doubt that a finger pointed at me for failing to

course.  But if I'd defended myself by saying "hey, that wasn't directed

If I had been the PM, I would have been forced to respond.  But since I
wasn't the PM, it's somehow retroactively ambiguous?  Punished if I am,
punished if I'm not.
