I hereby call for judgement on the statement "the text in exhibit A,
if enacted into a Rule, would conflict with Rule 101".
Arguments:
Rule 101 is designed to protect persons' right to judgement, and to review
agreements. To allow the arbitrary refusal of a CFJ would conflict
with R101(iii), as it severely limits the right to invoke judgement.
To allow the arbitrary refusal of proposals would mean the proposal
process could not be considered by any reasonable person as protective
of a player's rights in R101(v), as it is far beyond the scope of the
prima facie considerations in R1503.
----------------------------------------
Exhibit A
Murphy, OscarMeyr, and Quazie are Oligarchs.
An Oligarch may refuse a CFJ by announcement. A refused CFJ
ceases to be a CFJ.
An Oligarch may refuse a proposal by announcement. A refused
proposal ceases to be a proposal.

Rule 101/5 (Power=3)
Agoran Rights and Privileges
The rules may define persons as possessing specific rights or
privileges. Be it hereby proclaimed that no binding agreement
or interpretation of Agoran law may abridge, reduce, limit, or
remove a person's defined rights. A person's defined privileges
are assumed to exist in the absence of an explicit, binding
agreement to the contrary. This rule takes precedence over any
rule which would allow restrictions of a person's rights or
privileges.
i. Every person has the privilege of doing what e wilt.
ii. Every player has the right to perform an action which is
not regulated.
iii. Every person has the right to invoke judgement, appeal a
judgement, and to initiate an appeal on a sentencing or
judicial order binding em.
iv. Every person has the right to refuse to become party to
a binding agreement. The absence of a person's explicit,
willful consent shall be considered a refusal.
v. Every person has the right to not be considered bound by
an agreement, or an amendment to an agreement, which e has
not had the reasonable opportunity to review.
vi. Every player has the right of participation in the fora.
vii. Every person has the right to not be penalized more than
once for any single action or inaction.
viii. Every player besides the Speaker has the right to
deregister rather than continue to play.
Please treat Agora right good forever.

Rule 1503/6 (Power=3)
Rules Violations
In general, the Rules shall be adjudicated as if the Rules were
a binding agreement between all Players, entered into by every
player as a part of becoming a Player. An actual or alleged
Rule violation shall be treated as the violation of a binding
agreement to be bound by the Rule or Rules in question.
The proposal, fora, and registration processes shall, prima
facie, be considered to be protective of a Player's rights and
privileges with respect to making and changing the agreement to
be bound by the rules.
Other rules may further differentiate the treatment of rules
violations from the treatment of violations of other types of
agreements.
