I don't think it does, especially in the context of the last part of the

Interestingly, it doesn't say that assigning yourself the judge using 
certiorari removes the previous judge from the case, or relieve the first
judge from the duty of delivering judgement.

There's no explicit indication I can find that cases can't have more than
one judge.  The Arbitor doesn't have any mechanism for assigning a second
judge to a case, but maybe certiorari does...?

And if there happen to ever to be two judges assigned to a case, the 
following:
   At any time, each CFJ is either open (default), suspended, or
   assigned exactly one judgement.
says nothing about, if two judgements are delivered, if the first one 
prevents the second one from being delivered, or the second one replaces
the first one...

I really cannot see why giving effect to subject lines shouldn't work when 
a rule (2463) _explicitly_ mentions it.


I still don't think rule 2463 works in the way tried here, though. 
The way we usually interpret dependent actions, the subject line would be 
on the _resolving_ message - the _intent_ still needs to be an ordinary 
announcement.

A side note on this scam:  this part is likely ineffective as "CFJs
coming out of this" does not (by R1729) "unambiguously and clearly
specify the action", because you're not referring to a specific CFJ.

I'll have to dig it up if you try to follow through on this, but the
old CFJ precedent is basically that it's not possible to "clearly" or
"unambiguously" specify hypothetical future items that do not yet exist.

I agree it's just as reasonable either way - point is that you want stick
with a consistent interpretation, and the last time it came up, that was
the decision.  Perfectly valid to propose an explicit clarifying line to
R478 and put it to a vote.

I would personally always forget to look for the action in the subject
line, so I would vote for a clarification of "message text only".  But
that's preference not logic.

Imo its pretty subjective because it's not standardized as other stuff. I
find it just as reasonable for them to count as not.

Maybe we could make a rule/sentence on what constitutes a valid message to

There is no rule.  It comes down to what the definition of "message" is
in R478.  Is it the message text, or does it include subject line?  That's
some place where the rules are silent, so it's left up to "game custom, 
common sense, past judgements, and consideration of the best interests of
the game."

The general game custom/past judgements are that, for various reasons[1],
it is for the good of the game to not count subject lines, unless the
message text explicitly refers to the subject line (e.g. says "I take
the action in the subject line").

That consensus could always be revisited via CFJ, but in the absence of
doing so, we'd assume it holds.

[1] Some previously-given reasons, not arguing for or against just listing
some considerations:

1.  Actions in a message happen in order.  Subject line is "out of the
order" and not clear where it comes (unless part of the message text
explicitly refers to it).

2.  If we allow actions in headers, why not hidden headers?  And that
then becomes too easy to hide things in.

3.  Subject lines rapidly drift away from their original purpose in
threads.  It is often not clear (much less so then for quoted parts
of the message) when one is an original action versus a reply.

4.  It's very useful to have non-action Titles that contain descriptions
of actions.  For example "[Arbitor] CFJ XXX assigned to YYY".
This is a convenient label, and players shouldn't have to constantly
be worried "did I accidentally put an action in my label?"

I don't think the rules apply only to content within the body of an
email: we already know the subject line counts in some cases. I don't
see which rule contradicts the rules applying to the subject line. I
do note that the rule does ask for Agoran Consent (2 of it, even), so
you might need to note clearly your intent within the text itself for
that to work in this particular case.
