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 459/1 (Power=1) The Nomic Week The Nomic Week begins at midnight, GMT, each Monday. Any automatic change in the state of the Game which must occur weekly occurs at the beginning of the Nomic Week. Any automatic change which must occur monthly occurs at midnight, GMT, on the first of the month. Any automatic change which must occur quarterly occurs at midnight, GMT, on the first day of each calendar quarter. This Rule defers to any Rule that defines another explicit schedule for events. Any activity that must be performed at least weekly, monthly, or quarterly, must occur at least once in the given period. << ====================================================================== Judge's Arguments: The most recent time Peekee changed eir ABC was 29 August, 1999. According to R.1911, e must wait three months before is capable of changing it again. In this case, for instance, e would not be able to change it before 29 November, 1999. Peekee argues that due to R.459, the month count for the purposes of R.1911 is incremented on the first of the month. But this is not so. For that would imply that on 1 September, 1999, e had already waited one month. This is clearly false. Although months vary in length (28-31 days, this Court finds), there are no months which are shorter than a week. Furthermore, R.459 is irrelevant, for it applies only to automatic changes in the gamestate, while the length of time from one event to the present is not a change at all, much less an automatic one. ======================================================================
