" ====================================================================== Judge: KoJen Judgement: FALSE Eligible: Andre, Chuck, Coren, dcuman, Doug, elJefe, favor, Ghost, Jtael, KoJen, Michael, Morendil, Wes, Zefram Not Eligible: Caller: Morendil Barred: Kelly, Steve, Vanyel On Hold: Blob, Dave Bowen 1005: Murphy, Pascal, Swann, Vanyel, Vlad Effects: KoJen gains 5 Points for speedy Judgement ====================================================================== History: Called by Morendil, 8 February 1996, 08:03 +0100 Assigned to KoJen, 8 February 1996, timestamp lost Judged FALSE by KoJen, 8 February 1996, 12:19 -0500 ====================================================================== Reasons & Arguments: The relevant Rule mentions that these Transfers occur when the Player casts a Vote, not a _legal_ Vote. The other Rule in the Ruleset which calls for a transfer resulting from the casting of Votes on a Proposal is 312, which _does_ use the term "legal Vote". On the other hand, the Threat Wins Rule only says that the action of casting a particular number of Votes results in a transfer, though it specifies neither a limit to the time period during which such an action should be undertaken nor the time of occurrence of these transfers. It is therefore my interpretation that Votes which are cast on 2448, even if they are not legal, may result in the transfer occurring at the time the message casting such Votes is sent. ====================================================================== Decision & Reasoning Judge: My decision on CFJ 857 is FALSE. Reasoning: Votes are platonic. There is no "Vote" if it is not a "legal Vote". Therefore in Proposal 2448, "Vote" can only be taken to mean "legal Vote".
