DIS: Re: BUS: Registration and Birthday

2019-02-12 Thread James Cook
Thanks, D. Margaux. The only thing I can think of is that "declaring"
might not be an action (and hence not covered by Rule 1728), or that
it might be synonymous with "announcing" or "publishing", which Rule
478 allows me to do. I'm guessing that Rule 217 and  game custom
defeat those arguments, but I thought I'd give it a try, since I don't
have much experience with game custom.

DIS: Trouble subscribing

2019-02-12 Thread James Cook
I was unable to subscribe jc...@cs.berkeley.edu to the Agora lists (except
tue), but was able to subscribe falsifi...@gmail.com. Is this a common
problem?

It's not a problem for me (assuming you received this message) but thought
I'd mention it in case others are having trouble.

Sorry, I'd forgotten that deputy intents were entirely separate.

I agree it's trivial to get around, but requiring the naming of each
potential candidate still serves an informational purpose.

Similar to the intent to demand resignation, this isn’t an intent with T

Furthermore, this requirement would be trivially overcome if I simply announced 
separate intents to deputise to name each player Speaker.

I bar D. Margaux.
Arguments:
The stronger standards for dependent action intent specification include the
value of any choices to be made.  Here, it is ambiguous which player will be
chosen.

Twg tried to win, but the consensus seems to be that e failed because the 
intent was not published to a public forum (among other possible reasons).
