CALL FOR JUDGEMENT 31 (Ronald Kunne) Whereas, in the Current Rule Set as distributed by the message with header: >From: wesc@ichips.intel.com >Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1993 16:32:40 -0700 (PDT) >Subject: Rules Posting >X-Sequence: 1160 Rule 436 does not have an Informative Title and thus seems not to be a Rule (Rule 319 and CFJ 29); Whereas, the August Nomic Log is too long to be accepted by some file systems, notably the one on my computer, so that it is impossible for some players, notably myself, to verify on this Log, whether Proposal 436 had such an Informative Title and whether Rule 436 is a valid Rule; Whereas, at present I can not verify whether 436 is a Rule or not; Whereas, a CFJ that questions the legality of a particular Rule, must state such a Rule; Therefore, on Friday 10 September, 10.30 GMT it was not possible for me to determine if the action of invoking Judgement questioning the legality of Rule 436 is legal or illegal. ------------ CFJ and Rules referenced: CFJ 29 (Wes): "The Title of a Proposal does not become part of the Rule, should that Proposal Create or Amend a Rule." Judgement: FALSE 319. Informative Titles for Proposals: Every Proposal submitted to the Speaker must be headed with a Title. 413. Winning By Paradox: If the Rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of some action cannot be determined with finality, or if some action appears equally legal and illegal, then a player may Call For Judgement on a Statement to that effect. If the Statement is judged TRUE, then the same Judge who judged the Statement TRUE must declare the most recent passed Proposal X such that the Statement was not TRUE before the passage of Proposal X, or declare that there is no such Proposal. (Until the Judge does this, the Judgment is not valid.) If the Judgement of TRUE is not overruled, then the Player who called for Judgement is declared the Winner of the game. When a Game ends by this manner and the Judge has declared that there is no such Proposal X, the game is ended, with no provisions for restarting it. When a Game ends by this manner and the Judge has declared such a Proposal X, the following actions are taken: - all Players remain active, - all Proposals curently being Voted upon are removed from consideration for Voting, - the scores for all Players are set to 0 (zero), - the Rules and explicit game custom are reverted to the state they were in before Proposal X was passed, - a Benevolent Speaker for the next Game is chosen: -If there is only one Winner, that Voter becomes the Benevolent Speaker, and the old Benevolent Speaker becomes a Voter, -If there is more than one Winner, the Benevolent Speaker randomly selects one of the Winners, who becomes the new Benevolent Speaker, and the old Benevolent Speaker becomes a Voter, - and a new Game is begun. 436. The Winner is the first Voter to achieve 200 (positive) Points. If more than one Voter achieves this condition simultaneously, all such Voters win. When a Game ends in this manner: -If there is only one Winner, that Voter becomes the Mighty Speaker and the old Venerated Speaker becomes a Voter. -If there is more than one Winner, the Voter with the highest Point total becomes the new Benevolent Speaker. If more than one Voter is tied for the highest score, the Diligent Speaker randomly selects one of them to become the new Overworked Speaker. The old Honored Speaker becomes a voter. -All Players' scores are reset to 0. -A new Game is begun. All Rules and proposed Rule Changes retain the status they had at the end of the old Game. JUDGE Vlad { Vlad declined, and Karl Anderson was appointed as replacement on 13/9/93. } { Karl failed to respond, was penalised 10 points, and was replaced by Larry Smithmier on 16/9/93. } --------------- This is how I find: FALSE Because: >Whereas, the August Nomic Log is too long to be accepted by some > file systems, notably the one on my computer, > so that it is impossible for some players, notably myself, ^^^^^^^^^^ I find that is is not impossible to obtain information reguarding Proposal 436.
