Yes... although now it occurs to me that *possibly* I could engineer a paradox by self filing for reconsideration and judging FALSE! I *think* that would work assuming I could prevent it from going to moot, perhaps by objecting every 48 hours until it requires too much support to go into moot.

Not *quite*. Trigon, just delivering your judgements is best I think! Whether or not you are the judge is the subject of CFJs, even if the judgement is TRUE. The safest thing is to just deliver them as if this whole conversation didn't happen, and if it ends up you weren't the judge, no

As I understand it, for CFJ 3672 it's unclear whether you’re actually the judge. If you want to judge it TRUE, you should post your opinion, but not attempt to assign the judgement. If you want to judge it FALSE, you should both post your opinion and assign the judgement. The reason for this is

On the plus side, speeding up all aspects of the game is surprisingly easy. Just re-write or override Rule 1023 (Agoran Time, power-2) to indicate that time in the sandbox moves X times faster than baseline time (a pain to recordkeep, but conceptually easy and seamless). [It's come up a

The general idea of a sandbox isn't a bad one. But I don't think "making and destroying a copy of Agora" is straightforward if you intent that the copy starts with the same players/gamestate. The first red flag to me is that this drafts current players into a sandbox Agora (i.e. a new

So, why Moots are the wrong approach here. So on a first look, there's nothing in the Rules to forbid an open CFJ from having two judges simultaneously. R991 only allows the Arbitor to assign judges to cases with no judge, so that prevents multiple judges in most situations. But the

This randomly occurred to me recently. Rule 869/44 indicates that a dead organism is not a person, because it is not capable of thinking. So if an organism who was a player died, e would cease to be a person and COULD NOT be a player any longer. But this is not the same as "deregistering",
