From: Wes Contreras To: agora-off Subject: OFF: CFJ 1166 Judged TRUE Date: Thursday, September 16, 1999 5:17 PM ====================================================================== CFJ 1166 A Currency defined as a Basic Currency by a SLC, but not so defined by the Rules, is not a Basic Currency. ====================================================================== Called by: Murphy Judge: Palnatoke Judgement: TRUE Judge selection: Eligible: Palnatoke, Peekee, Wes Not eligible: Caller: Murphy Barred: - Had their turn: Annabel, Beefurabi, Blob, Chuck, Crito, Elysion, harvel, Kolja, Lee, Michael, Murphy Already served: - Defaulted: - By request: - On Hold: elJefe, Oerjan, Steve ====================================================================== History: Called by Murphy: 11 Sep 1999 08:40:33 -0700 Assigned to Palnatoke: 12 Sep 1999 15:30:56 -0700 Judged TRUE by Palnatoke: 16 Sep 1999 13:50:27 +0200 Judgement Distributed: As of this message ===================================================================== Caller's Arguments: Peekee argues that defining a Currency as Basic places restrictions on Players, so Rule 1591 (Jurisdiction of SLCs) gives SLCs the Rule-like ability to define Currencies as Basic. I argue that Rule 1911 (Basic Currencies) is what places restrictions on Players, so nothing conflicts with its claim that only the Rules can effectively define Basic Currencies. ====================================================================== Evidence attached by the Caller: Rule 1911/0 (Power=1) Basic Currencies A Currency is a Basic Currency only if defined as such by the Rules. Each Player has at most one Associated Basic Currency (ABC). Initially, Players have no ABC. A Player who has no ABC may associate a Basic Currency with emself by declaring that e does so, and stating which Basic Currency is so associated, in the Public Forum. A Player who has an ABC may change eir ABC by the same method, but only if: a) it has been at least 3 months since eir ABC was last set or changed, OR b) if the Currency which is to be eir new ABC became a Basic Currency more recently than eir ABC was last set or changed. A Player with an ABC may never cease to have any ABC at all, unless e ceases to be a Player, or eir ABC ceases to be a Basic Currency. Rule 1591/0 (Power=1) Jurisdiction of SLCs A SLC has the power to constrain the actions of Players in the same manner as the Rules. However, a SLC has power over only those Players within its Jurisdiction, as defined in the Rules authorizing that SLC. The Jurisdiction of a SLC must be specified by the Rules, either directly or indirectly. If the Jurisdiction of a SLC might vary over the course of the existence of the SLC, the Rules must specify a Player who is required to maintain a record of which Players are within the Jurisdiction of that SLC. ====================================================================== Judge's Arguments: I think that what places restrictions is *the adoption of* Rule 1911, and not the rule in itself. Once the Rule is adopted, it just defines the reality, which is that Currencies come in two flavours, Basic and non-Basic. ======================================================================
