OFF: [Surveyor] June Estate Auction
Agora owns at least one Estate. As such, it is my honour to begin the auction for the Estate of Antegria. Bids may be placed by announcement to the public forum as described in Rule 2491. All players are eligible to place bids on their own behalf. All players are eligible to place bids on behalf of an Organization if it is Appropriate under that Organization’s charter. Don’t forget, I’ve pledged to run a writing competition during this auction: > If elected Surveyor, then, during the June estate auction - during which i > will auction off Antegria - I will additionally accept short, > tourist-centric, blurbs about Antegria alongside bids. These blurbs should > talk about the history and geography of the region of Antegria, and pitch it > to hypothetical tourists who might want to visit that region. > > If the winning bid includes a blurb of at least 70 words, I pledge to kick in > 10% of the winning bid, rounded up, up to a maximum of 50 shinies, by paying > the winner that amount from my own balance immedately after resolving the > auction. > > These blurbs will be included, for flavour, in the Surveyor’s weekly report. I’m looking forwards to your submissions! -o signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP

Secretary's Monthly Report Date of this report: Thu 1 Jun 2017 Date of last report: Mon 1 May 2017 Recent events (all times UTC) - previous report - - time of last report - Thu, 27 Apr 2017 05:33:46 nichdel created Organization "AAaAA" Wed, 3 May 2017 04:22:28 o amended Organization "AVM"'s charter [Agoran Award and Achivement Association] An amendment to this Organization is Appropriate if intent to perform it was announced between 4 and 14 days ago, and no members of the Organization have publicly objected to it since. When a member of this organization pays any number of shinies to this organization they receive as many Proxies as paid shinies. Once a month any member of this organization may initiate a Voting Session. A Voting Session lasts 7 days. During the Voting Session, each member may cast a number of votes equal to eir number of Proxies, with valid votes being any entity that has a Balance switch. When a Voting Session ends, this Organization shall pay X/Y rounded down to each entity with the highest number of votes where X is the shinies this organization has in its Budget and Y is the number of entities to pay. All remaining shinies shall be paid to Agora. All members have 0 Proxies when a Voting Session ends. [The Agoran Betting Market] An amendment to this Organization is Appropriate if intent to perform it was announced between 4 and 14 days ago, and no members of the Organization have publicly objected to it since. References to a person's Budget Switch in this Charter refer to the Budget Switch for the pair consisting of that person and this Organization. For the purposes of Bets made under the provisions of this Organization, a reference to an Agoran Decision on whether to adopt a proposal can be made by instead referencing the proposal itself, unless doing so would be ambiguous. Any non-member of this Organization can join it via flipping eir Budget Switch to 25. Any member of this Organization whose Budget Switch is currently 25 or less, and who has not authored any unResolved Bets that are Covered by a Bet with an author other than emself, can leave it via flipping eir Budget Switch to 0. A Bet is a portion of an announcement, labelled as a Bet, that is authored by a member of this Organization and contains the following information: Deadline: a moment in the future, defined either by its date, or by specifying an event that could potentially happen in the future but that has not yet occurred (e.g. "the resolution of Proposal "), in which case the Deadline is the first occurrence of such an event; Odds: two positive integers separated by a hyphen (e.g. 3-1); Event: a statement in the future tense about a property of Agora's gamestate, which is evaluated at the time stated in the Deadline. If two Bets have the same Deadline, reverse Odds (i.e. the number before the hyphen and the number after the hyphen are swapped), and Events which are negations of each other (i.e. one is necessarily true whenever the other is false, and vice versa), the Bets are stated to Complement each other. For each bet, the first bet that Complements it and has not previously Covered another bet is said to Cover that bet. Exception: if a Bet is not Covered by its Deadline, it cannot Cover or be Covered by another Bet subsequently. A statement by a member of this Organization that e "covers" a Bet is interpreted as an announcement that would be a Bet that Covers it, if such a bet is possible (i.e. if the Bet is unCovered and its Deadline has not occurred). A statement by a member of this Organization that e "withdraws" a Bet that e authored is interpreted as though that member had announced that e covered that Bet. If a Bet is Covered and its Deadline has passed, it has not previously been Resolved, and the Bet and the Bet that Covers it have different authors, any member of this contract can Resolve it. To do so, e flips the Bet's author's Budget Switch as follows: - If the Bet's Event was true when the Deadline occurred, the switch is reduced by the integer before the hyphen in the Bet's Odds; - If the Bet's Event was false when the Deadline occurred, the switch is increased by the integer after the hyphen in the Bet's Odds. Members of this Organization are strongly encouraged to Resolve a Bet and the Bet that Covers it within the same message. They are also encouraged to identify the Bet, and the Bet that Covers it, via quoting the original messages containing them. [The Agoran Credit Union] * All actions described by this Charter and pertaining to Organizations are limited in scope to this Organization. * An amendment is Appropriate if intent to perform it was announced between 4 and 14 days ago, and no members have publicly objected to it since. * A person flipping eir own Budget Switch is Appropriate unless Income would be lower than the Income Floor (50 if not defined by the rules). * Each member has a number of Union Credits,

OFF: CFJ 3497 judged FALSE
Judge's arguments for CFJ 3497: I was considering playing along with this, but frankly, given everything that's happened, I'm not in the mood. Even the caller has practically admitted that this CFJ is frivolous (the message was entitled "A little levity"). The only sensible reading of the rule is that "no Player shall be prohibited" means roughly "a player shall not be prohibited". This is so abundantly clear it isn't even worth talking about (see also common sense, affixed). Further, no evidence has been provided that a player named "no player" even existed at the time of the addition of that rule. Under the precedent set by CFJ 1520, the existence of such a player would be required for the reference to be complete. I judge this case FALSE. Additionally, for the initiation of a frivolous case, I (unofficially) sentence o to Shame. I realize we have a tradition of having such cases on occasion, but given the current judicial overload I think this is in bad taste at the moment.
