====================================================================== CFJ 913 "The Bank can have a negative number of a currency." ====================================================================== Judge: Andre Judgement: TRUE Eligible: Andre, Antimatter, Blob, Chuck, Crito, elJefe, favor, General Chaos, KoJen, Macross, Michael, Morendil, Murphy, Steve, Swann, Vanyel, Zefram Not eligible: Caller: Harlequin Barred: - On hold: Oerjan ====================================================================== History: Called by Harlequin, Mon, 17 Mar 1997 21:08:31 -0500 (EST) Assigned to Andre, Mon, 24 Mar 1997 09:29:25 +0000 Judged TRUE, Mon, 24 Mar 1997 17:43:57 +0100 (MET) Published, Wed, 26 Mar 1997 09:34:23 +0000 ====================================================================== Judgement: TRUE Reasons and arguments: The only Rule that forbids negative amounts of Currencies is Rule 1596. However that Rule only forbids Transfers that are not required by the Rules to cause a Treasury to contain a negative quantity of Currencies. However, that only applies to transfers required by another Entity than the Rules themselves. However, there are Rules that require Currencies to be transfered from the Bank, and no Rule would stop those from happening, even if that would cause the Bank to hold a negative amount of the Treasury. ====================================================================== (Caller's) Arguments: Evidently negative amounts of a currency are permissible if caused by a rule and not by a player transfer. No rule prohibits the Bank from having negative amounts of a currency. ======================================================================
