Does anyone else agree that a "by announcement" is needed here? If so, 
someone might want to get a proposal submitted by the next distribution.

In any case, it seems to be true that Proposal 8181 hasn't even been adopted.

I judge both CFJ 3743 and CFJ 3753 FALSE, with the above-quoted
messages as evidence.

Does this work?

R2466 requires that you "must, in the message in which the action is
performed, uniquely identify the principal and that the action is
being taken on behalf of that person."

Specifically, you didn't say the action is being taken on behalf of
someone. It's sort of implied, because it's very common to act on
behalf of one's zombie to take eir assets, but I'm not sure that's
enough to meet the requirement.

However, I think the answer to the question Murphy was trying to ask
is TRUE. The message in G.'s gratuitous evidence makes it very clear
that Murphy intends to place those votes. This seems to me like common
sense or basic interpretation of communication on the forum.

Gratuitous:

Let's say it's Day 31 and R. Lee has kept eir pledge so far.  The answer
to the question "did R. Lee [perform the correct behavior] for least 30 days
[from the time of the pledge]?" would be TRUE regardless of what happens
after that.

Whether (after the 30 days) the pledge is technically "in its time window
but IMPOSSIBLE to break" versus being "out of its time window" (and how that
relates to the term "operates" in the CFJ statement) is a matter of
semantics that is IRRELEVANT.

On 7/5/2019 10:42 AM, Jason Cobb wrote:

I CFJ: "R. Lee's Oath to vote against certain proposals operates for 60 days."

Evidence:

    Excerpt from Rule 2450:

    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.

    R. Lee's Oath:

    I hereby swear an Oath to vote AGAINST any proposal that adds
    more text than it deletes for at least the next 30 days.

Arguments:

    The Oath does not clearly identify and provide intent for the Oath
    to operate for a certain 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
    it operates for any specific time period. Thus, under Rule 2450, it
    should operate for 60 days - this CFJ should be judged TRUE.

I don't really see how that could be exploitable. Anyway, whenever a

I didn't see that, but in any case I'm not 100% convinced by Aris' logic. 
Letting rule changes take effect without clearly specifying the instrument 
causing them just feels like the sort of thing which, if it worked, would have 
been used by ais523 for a scam at some point.
