This is CFJ 3739. I assign it to Falsifian. =============================== CFJ 3739 =============================== A person earns a Cyan Ribbon when e temporarily deputises for an office. ========================================================================== Caller: G. Judge: Falsifian ========================================================================== History: Called by G.: 16 Jun 2019 18:34:55 Assigned to Falsifian: [now] ========================================================================== Caller's Arguments: From Rule 2438 (Ribbons): Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office, that person earns a Cyan Ribbon. The question is whether "temporary deputisation" is a sub-category of "deputisation" (deserving of a Ribbon) or if the qualifier makes it something totally separate and not ribbon-earning. From Rule 2160 (Deputisation): 5. the deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is doing so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation [...] When a player deputises for an elected office, e becomes the holder of that office, unless the action being performed would already install someone into that office, and/or unless the deputisiation is temporary. The "deputisation or by temporary deputisation" implies they're distinct things and not sub-categories, but the "unless the deputisation is temporary" implies one is a sub-category of the other (these are the only usages in the whole Ruleset of the term "temporary". It makes some kinda sense that a ribbon reward is reserved for when you actually take on an office, but I don't have a prejudice otherwise: FWIW when I wrote the "temporary" rule I didn't think about ribbons at all so there was no particular intent. ==========================================================================
