I think the statement in the proposal is paradoxical, and therefore the CFJ
is perhaps FALSE (because the statement in the proposal is not necessarily
false?).

...wow, that's strange. Why the heck is rule 2531 designed to make
the gamestate (whether fines are EFFECTIVE, and thus indirectly
people's voting power) depend on so m

I respectfully disagree
Falsifian, would you by any chance be interested in joining a court and/or
judging this case? It’s one of the Arbitor’s unofficial responsibilities to
make sure newer players have an opportunity to judge cases, since it’s a
good way to get more involved in gameplay.

Maybe try “does not appear to have known”? Otherwise, the gamestate depends
on someone’s actual mental state, which is impossible to determine given
the limits of current technology.

It's good to have you back, twg! Any time you want to be Treasuror

If everyone votes strategically, then it's still an okay voting system. The
source for proof that it's the best is this image:

Why not?
Part of the gamestate is th
Having looked into the matter further, I can safely say that mistakes
were indeed made. The following is my analysis.

Ratification changes the gamestate to what it would be if the report
I was concerned that ratification without objection might inadvertently
break something outside of those subgames. In contrast, issuing blank Clork
and Astronomor reports would not risk causing something to break outside
those games. It would be self-contained.

I don’t know what the implication of that is for the sentencing, but I
don’t think I’m going to wait. I’d prefer to resolve it now and avoid the
ambiguity.
Why did you use self-ratification, rather than something else like
ratification without objection?

It may be worthwhile to wait a couple days. If the reports self-ratify without
any claim of error, then the information therein will be retroactively
accurate... I think?
