How's this for a simple concurring opinion:

Minor research into the term (which could have been performed by the
judge) suggests that "to zoop" something generally means to activate
an act-on-behalf contract with respect to a dependent action 
(particularly with respect to standing instructions for getting 
Support numbers for a particular class of action).  With neither a 
contract nor a dependent action referred to, ais523's assertion that 
Agorans "have a basic idea of what it's meant to mean" is false.  
This Panel really has no idea.  The situation is so far removed from 
the original that the term's relationship to a meaningful action has 
broken down.  Whether situations slightly closer to the original would 
work - e.g. at least somehow involving act-on-behalf or somehow 
involving dependent actions -  must be dealt with on a case-by-case 
basis.  

The fact that the original judge, without further research, didn't
understand the meaning is an argument towards the term's growing
obscurity with time, but that is secondary as it is likely that many 
Agorans still understand the original context of the term.

Error rating: coppro propose one?

2009-11-28 Thread comex
Hmm.  I agree with the judgement in that case but completely disagree  
with the arguments.  If we allow "guide play" to mean "do absolutely  
nothing according to other rules", then the argument easily follows  
that a rule modifying a proposal's effect would not be blocked, as  
that rule would just be altering the "further" effects of the  
proposal, and the proposal is still "guiding play" by activating the  
relevant clauses in the rules.  In other words, Rule 107 is useless.


On the other hand, I interpret "must guide play in the form in which  
it was voted on" as "must, to the extent that it guides play, do so in  
the form [etc]" rather than "must guide play, and must do so in the  
form [etc]", so the no bonus clauses rule still works.


...uh, not that that has anything to do with the current case.  What  
was I talking about?

Normally, I would commend the lack of arguments for such a stupid CFJ  
(no offense ais523), but I suppose coppro should at least explain eir

TRUE.

I intend, with 2 support, to appeal this judgement. For a contested
issue (in which the panel did not agree), you would think coppro would
at least give some arguments.
