Called by Janet:  28 Feb 2023 01:47:43

Judged FALSE by Murphy:   05 Mar 2023 22:17:09

Caller's Arguments:

P8906 attempts to insert a "paragraph", but the text to insert has two
paragraphs. This may be sufficiently ambiguous as to render the change
ineffective under Rule 105/23.

I am not aware of any on-point precedent.


Caller's Evidence:

//
ID: 8906
Title: Stone Immunity Correction (Keeping Our Stones) Act
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Janet
Co-authors:


[Restore the definition of immunity, and add security to it.]

Amend Rule 2643 ("Collecting Stones") by prepending the following paragraph:

{

A stone is immune if and only if it is defined as such by the rules of
power not less than 2.

A stone is immune if it is owned by Agora. A stone is immune if it has
been granted immunity since the last collection notice. The granting of
immunity is secured.

}


[Explicitly prohibit the Soul Stone from transferring stones owned by
Agora. This isn't technically needed with the previous change, but it's
better to just make it explicit to prevent accidentally it breaking
again in the future.]

Amend Rule 2645 ("The Stones") by replacing "When wielded, the Soul
Stone is transferred to the owner of a different specified non-immune
stone, then that stone is transferred to the wielder." with "When
wielded, the Soul Stone is transferred to the owner of a different
specified non-immune stone not owned by Agora, then that stone is
transferred to the wielder.".


[Disallow theft of Protected stones, and add a tiebreak.]

Amend Rule 2645 ("The Stones") by replacing the list item beginning
"Anti-Equatorial" with the following

{

- Anti-Equatorial Stone (Monthly, 5): When wielded, the mossiest
non-immune stone is transferred to the wielder. If more than one such
stone is tied for mossiest, a specified one is transferred. When this
happens, the Anti-Equatorial Stone's mossiness is incremented by 1.

}

Rule 105/23 (Power=3)
Rule Changes

  When the rules provide that an instrument takes effect, it can
  generally:

  1. enact a rule. The new rule has power equal to the minimum of
 the power specified by the enacting instrument, defaulting to
 one if the enacting instrument does not specify or if it
 specifies a power less than 0.1, and the maximum power
 permitted by other rules. The enacting instrument may specify a
 title for the new rule, which if present shall prevail. The ID
 number of the new rule cannot be specified by the enacting
 instrument; any attempt to so specify is null and void.

  2. repeal a rule. When a rule is repealed, it ceases to be a rule,
 its power is set to 0, and the Rulekeepor need no longer
 maintain a record of it.

  3. reenact a rule. A repealed rule identified by its most recent
 rule number MUST be reenacted with the same ID number and the
 next change identifier. If no text is specified, the rule is
 reenacted with the same text it had when it was most recently
 repealed. If the reenacting proposal provides new text for the
 rule, the rule SHOULD have materially the same purpose as did
 the repealed version. Unless specified otherwise by the
 reenacting instrument, a reenacted rule has power equal to the
 power it had at the time of its repeal (or power 1, if power
 was not defined at the time of that rule's repeal). If the
 reenacting instrument is incapable of setting the reenacted
 rule's power to that value, then the reenactment is null and
 void.

  4. amend the text of a rule.

  5. retitle (syn. amend the title of) a rule.

  6. change the power of a rule.

  A rule change is any effect that falls into the above classes.
  Rule changes always occur sequentially, never simultaneously.

  Any ambiguity in the specification of a rule change causes that
  change to be void and without effect. An inconsequential

Caller's Arguments:

cuddlybanana stated "I vote FOR on all proposals", and
quoted a message that listed only a proper subset of the proposals that
are currently open for voting (and as far as I can tell, is eligible to
vote on all such proposals). Should that be interpreted as voting FOR
on all the proposals that can be voted on, or only on the proposals
that were listed in the quoted message?
