Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  BIDDING: Players CAN place a bid on an auction in its bidding
  period by creating a public message (henceforth a "bid message")
  specifying an amount of that auction's currency. Players CAN
  withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Judgement: FALSE

History:

Assigned to Murphy:   20 Oct 2022 18:37:10
Judged FALSE by Murphy:   23 Oct 2022 20:32:13

==

Caller's Arguments:

Rounds are defined in R1023 alongside pivots:

  A pivot is either the instant at which Agora Nomic began
   (June 30, 1993, 00:04:30 GMT +1200) or an instant at which
   at least one person won the game. When used as a period of
   time, a "Round" (historical syn: "game") is the period of
   time between a pivot and the next pivot.

FOR:
By my calculations, there have been 2,097 wins. If each win is a pivot
that starts a new round, then this is round 2,098.

AGAINST:
However, rounds are defined as "the period of time between a pivot and
the next pivot". Many wins have happened in the same message (notably
Jason won 1000 times in one message). Messages are considered to happen
instantaneously but sequentially. Arguably, there is no "period of time"
between these wins, and no rounds occurred between them. If this is the
case, then we are closer to round 599.

--

Judge Murphy's Arguments:

As the caller notes, there can be multiple events occurring at the same
instant. The pivot is defined as the instant, not the individual events.

The most recent Herald's report lists (by my count) 1714 distinct wins,
including Jason x1000 (which I believe were indeed simultaneous) and D.
Margaux x501 (likewise). Whatever the exact number of rounds currently
is, it clearly isn't nearly as high as 2098.

I judge FALSE.

Caller's Arguments:

Arguments for TRUE:

Rule 2139 mandates the Registrar's monthly report to include “For each
former player for which the information is reasonably available, the
dates on which e registered and deregistered.” Now, a player is defined
as simply “a registered person”, which would indicate a “former player”
to refer to a person which at some point was registered. Other readings
include that it refers to the entity that was a player and ceased to
exist when that player was deregistered – this is not supported by
evidence. Indeed, the next paragraph of Rule 869 states that “[i]f e
does so [deregister], e CANNOT register or be registered for 30 days”,
which indicates the entity which is the player continues to exist after
deregistration. That is: playerhood is a state, and “former player”
should be understood as an entity which at some point in the past was
registered, but is no longer.

Now, back to the rule in question. It refers to “the dates on which e [a
former player] registered and deregistered”. The qualification “on which
e registered and deregistered” obviously refer to a pair of dates, and
not one date in which the player did both actions. That is not in
question and shall not be discussed further. But the point is that the
plural “dates” now refers to that pair of dates, and the definitive
article “the” makes the whole subject phrase have reference ONLY IF
there is a single entity that satisfies the condition.

Therefore, for people that became players more than once, the phrase has
no referent, and so is confusing and/or ambiguous. So is the whole as
well.

Note, if the rule said “the dates on which e registered OR
deregistered”, there would be a reasonable interpretation, more in tune
with the game's traditions, that the plural refers to all such dates in
which that particular player has either registered, deregistered, or
both. It is not so, however.

There remains only a single question: is there a more suitable
interpretation that makes it so the text is in accordance with (what I
suppose is) the intent of the rule? I'd say NOT, for if the plural in
“dates” accomodates a multitude of possible entities satisfying the
condition that follows, that condition would be “on which e registered
and deregistered” – which is much more rare than what has historically
appeared in Registrars' Monthly Reports.

Arguments for FALSE:

This is proposterous, nitpicking, and must not be indulged.

The caller's argument falls down at this point. "dates on
