Well, G. said e proposed the rule to illustrate a security hole in
R106, which eir "power-limit precedence" proposal, soon to be adopted,
is meant to fix. Should we could wait for someone to try to test that
before repealing the rule? Personally I plan to keep voting "AGAINST
if a Notice of Veto has been published..." on most proposals I'd
otherwise vote FOR until the threat of unexpected last-minute vetos
goes away.

Are you looking at Rule 2350 ("Proposals"), which is the only place I 
see that wording ("remove (syn. retract, withdraw)")? I was looking at 
Rule 105 ("Rule Changes"), which does not define "withdraw".

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.

Does Proposal 8181 actually fix it?  Rule 2557 still needs a "by announcement".

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.

Dang it; you are absolutely right, and I didn't consider that.

Note to judge omd: this applies just as well to CFJ 3743.

Proposal 8181 is supposed to fix it, but D. Margaux's attempt to

===  CFJ 3753  ===

The investigator of the Finger-pointing done in this message CAN

pledge in evidence.

==

Caller:Jason Cobb

Judge: omd

==

History:

Called by Jason Cobb: 02 Jul 2019 22:32:03
Assigned to omd:  [now]

==

Caller's Evidence:

  My previous message:

  I pledge, under penalty of a Class "I'm a string!" Crime, not to
  make any pledges for the next 24 hours

  Excerpt from this message [sent after previous message]:

  I pledge, under penalty of a Class "I'm a string!" Crime, not to
  make any pledges for the next 24 hours.

  I fully admit that I am guilty of the above accusation.

  Excerpt from Rule 2450 ("Pledges"):

  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.

  Excerpt from Rule 2557 ("Vigilante Justice"):

  When the rules authorize an investigator to impose the Cold Hand
  of Justice for a violation, e CAN do so by levying a fine on the
  perp with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2x the base value of
  the violation, within the following guidelines:  - If the
  violation is described by the rules as a Class N crime, then N
  is the base value; otherwise the base value is 2.

--

Caller's Arguments:

Assume that I am guilty of the crime (which is a different CFJ);
otherwise, this is clearly FALSE.

Because I am guilty of a class "I'm a string!" crime, the investigator
CAN impose a fine on me. As specified by Rule 2557, the base value of
the crime is "I'm a string!". Thus, the investigator of this crime CAN
impose a fine not less than 1 (Blot) and not more than 2 * ("I'm a
string!") (Blots), whatever that means. I argue that any attempt to
assign a numeric value to "I'm a string!" (besides perhaps the number 0)
would be arbitrary and without textual backing. If the number 0 were to
be assigned, then the investigator would have to impose a fine upon me
with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 0 on me, which is the subject of
CFJ 3743.

My arguments here are effectively the same as CFJ 3743: only one of
TRUE, FALSE, and PARADOXICAL is appropriate. TRUE doesn't really work,
because there is no numeric value for which the investigator physically
can fine me. FALSE doesn't really work because the Rules explicitly
state that the Investigator CAN do so. PARADOXICAL is what's left, and
thus might be the only one appropriate.
