BUS: @arbitor It is possible to attempt indeterminate actions?

2022-10-11 Thread shy owl via agora-business
I withdraw my previous CFJ, and submit this revised one in its place. (My 
statement had an error--I want to know whether Shy Owl attempted at least 1 
/game/ action.)


CFJ:
In a message timestamped Tue Oct 11 23:12:43 UTC 2022 entitled "Exhibit A", Shy 
Owl attempted to perform at least 1 game action.

The message is reproduced here:

> Tue Oct 11 23:12:43 UTC 2022
>
> I perform at least 1 game action.
>
> --

> Shy Owl

Arguments for:
{
1.  Shy Owl was a player at the time of sending and capable of performing game 
actions.
2.  The circumstances under which a player is capable of attempting a game 
action appear to be unregulated by the rules.
3.  The intended result of the message (the number of game actions being 
performed being at least 1) was clear and unambiguous.

Therefore, the message did constitute an attempted action.
}

Arguments Against:
{
Shy Owl did not specify any particular action, therefore it is impossible to 
determine any specific game action e may have been attempting. If this were the 
case, it would be impossible to determine for certain whether or not the 
attempt was successful.

Therefore, the message was not valid as an attempted action.
