====================================================================== CFJ 896 "If a Rule Change contained in an adopted Proposal has insufficient power to take effect at the time of the Proposal's adoption, it may not, simply by virture of that Proposal's having once been adopted, take effect at some later time as a result of (for instance) the down-mutation of the Rule which it purports to change." ====================================================================== Judge: Murphy Judgement: TRUE Eligible: Andre, Blob, Chuck, elJefe, Harlequin, KoJen, Macross, Michael, Murphy, Oerjan, Steve, Swann, Vanyel, Zefram Not eligible: Caller: favor Barred: - On hold: Morendil ====================================================================== History: Called by favor, Mon, 3 Feb 97 09:21:08 EST Assigned to Murphy, Wed, 5 Feb 1997 09:59:45 +0000 Judged TRUE, Thu, 06 Feb 1997 19:26:36 -0800 Published, Sat, 8 Feb 1997 17:19:47 +0000 ====================================================================== Judgement: TRUE Reasons and arguments: I find no legislation defining the moment referred to by the word "current" in the final paragraph of Rule 1322/2, and thus fall back on Game Custom that it refers to the time of the Proposal's adoption. ====================================================================== Evidence: Rule 1322/2 (MI=3) Effectiveness of Rule Changes Every Rule Change shall have associated with it an Index, called its Power, which determines its ability to take effect. The Power of a non-Proposed Rule Change shall be the Mutability Index of the Rule in which the Rule Change is contained. The Power of a Proposed Rule Change shall be the Adoption Index of the Proposal in which the Rule Change is contained. No Rule Change may take effect unless its Power is not less than the current Mutation Index of the Rule it seeks to change, if any, and the Mutation Index that the Rule would possess after the change, if any. ====================================================================== (Caller's) Arguments: (none) ======================================================================
