Clerk's Note: Excellent reasoning, Annabel, and prompt as well. Much better than many brand new Players. We would rather recommend that the Herald toss a Kudo at you (per Rule 1872). ;-) ====================================================================== CFJ 1153 If the Rules implicitly designate a Player who is a Legislator to be a Voting Entity temporarily, and that Player is not otherwise denied voting privileges, then that Player may vote. ====================================================================== Called by: harvel Judge: Annabel Judgement: FALSE Judge selection: Eligible: Annabel, Wes Not eligible: Caller: harvel Barred: - Had their turn: Beefurabi, Blob, Chuck, Crito, elJefe, Elysion, harve, JKolja, Michael, Murphy, Palnatoke Already served: - Defaulted: - By request: Peekee On Hold: Lee, Oerjan, Steve ====================================================================== History: Called by harvel: 03 Aug 1999 16:12:40 EDT Assigned to Peekee: 03 Aug 1999 21:43:59 GMT Peekee made ineligible: 05 Aug 1999 13:45:16 EDT Assigned to Annabel: 07 Aug 1999 01:05:33 GMT Judged FALSE by Annabel: 07 Aug 1999 19:37:07 -0500 Judgement published: As of this message ===================================================================== Caller's Arguments: ====================================================================== Evidence attached by the Caller: ====================================================================== Judge's Arguments: As far as I can tell, there are two rules which are the most relevant here: 206 and 1889. According to rule 206, "only those Entities designated by the Rules to be Voting Entities are Voting Entities." And according to rule 1889, a Legislator is not a Voting Entity. I think that if rule 206 used "all" instead of "only," the statement might be true. However, since "only" is a limiting word, it seems to imply that for something to be a Voting Entity, it must be explicitly designated, and not merely suggested, to be one. Also, rule 1889 states clearly that a Legislator is definitely not a Voting Entity, although it gives a way for a Legislator to become one. The only way described in the rules (that I could find) for a Legislator to become a Voting Entity is as in rule 1889, and this involves a renunciation of Legislator-hood. The only way that I could find for someone to vote on a proposal is to be a Voting Entity, and rules 206 and 1889 together define pretty strict boundaries on who is and isn't one. So I would Judge the statement above to be false. ======================================================================
