====================================================================== CFJ 891 "Rule 1663 should be interpreted such that Player M would Win by its Provisions due to Proposals 5000, 5001 and 5002 in this hypothetical series of Proposals: Proposal Number Proposer FOR AGAINST ABSTAIN ----------------------------------------------------- 5000 Player M 3 4 2 5001 Player M 3 4 2 5002 Player M 3 4 2 " ====================================================================== Judge: Vanyel Judgement: TRUE Eligible: Blob, Chuck, Coren, elJefe, favor, KoJen, Michael, Morendil, Steve, Swann, Vanyel, Zefram Not eligible: Caller: Murphy Barred: - On hold: Andre, Oerjan ====================================================================== History: Called by Murphy, Wed, 11 Dec 1996 23:36:51 -800 Assigned to Vanyel, Tue, 17 Dec 1996 10:09:26 +0000 Judged TRUE, Sat, 21 Dec 1996 16:31:55 -0600 Published, Sun, 29 Dec 1996 12:21:48 +0000 ====================================================================== Judgement: TRUE Reasons and arguments: Either reading of rule 1663 is admissible, but game custom in the case of Morendil's proposals 2760-2762 (and his subsequent win) clearly favors the reading which yields a TRUE judgement. ====================================================================== (Caller's) Arguments: This CFJ effectively asks whether R1663's "same number" requires that each of the three Proposals in question receive as many Votes FOR as AGAINST, and as many Votes AGAINST as ABSTAIN; or if it is sufficient that each Proposal receive as many Votes FOR as each of the other two, etc. I have no idea what the intent of R1663's author was, and I have deleted my records of the Vote count for the Proposals involved in Morendil's recent Win by Rule 1663. However, since that effort was met with resistance, I consider it likely that the Proposals in question did not each receive N FOR Votes, N AGAINST Votes, and N ABSTAIN Votes. The Vote count for those Proposals will either demonstrate that R1663 has been interpreted as this Statement says it should be, or will indicate nothing about the truth of this Statement. Evidence: Rule 1663/0: A Player Wins the Game if three Proposals submitted by em in a row receive exactly the same number of FOR, AGAINST and ABSTAIN Votes. The Assessor is prohibited from Winning in this manner. ======================================================================
