Rule 1935 prevents multiple votes cast by an Oligarch on an Ordinary Proposal from being ABSTAIN. However, a Low Oligarch may cast only one vote on an Ordinary Proposal, and is thus unaffected by this restriction. No other Rule prevents an Oligarch's vote on an Ordinary Proposal from being ABSTAIN, except by preventing the Oligarch from being able to vote on it at all. I Judge TRUE. ======================================================================== Judge Murphy's Evidence: Rule 683/9 (Power=1) Voting on Proposals A Voter authorised to cast votes on a particular Proposal may do so only by informing the Assessor of the vote or votes e is casting on that Proposal. Once cast, a vote cannot be changed or cancelled by the Voter which cast it, although it may be cancelled as other Rules require. A vote upon a Proposal must be one of FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN (or an obvious synonym of one of these). Something which is not one of these is not a vote upon a Proposal. A vote cast by an entity which does not have an Executor is cast at a time and in a manner specified in other Rules. Rule 1935/0 (Power=1) Voting by the Oligarchy Subject to the qualifications below, the High Oligarch must cast three votes, a Middle Oligarch two votes, and a Low Oligarch one vote, on any Ordinary Proposal on which e votes at all. A Player who becomes an Oligarch during the Voting Period of an Ordinary Proposal may not vote on that Proposal (unless the Proposal becomes a Democratic Proposal). An Oligarch who changes rank during the Voting Period of an Ordinary Proposal must cast as many votes as the lower rank entitles em to cast, if e casts any votes at all on that Proposal (again, this provision applies only as long the Proposal remains an Ordinary Proposal). Multiple votes cast by an Oligarch on an Ordinary Proposal must be either all FOR or all AGAINST. Oligarchs may not declare Presence on an Ordinary Proposal. ======================================================================== Clerk of the Courts harvel -- Michael Slone
