I CFJ on the following statement: there is an election for Promotor in
progress, and Trigon is a candidate in that election.
Arguments:
Cosmo tabled an intent to start an election for Promotor and become a
candidate in it, as one combined action [1]. Trigon tried to use Cosmo's
intent to do likewise for emself [2]. However, the tabled intent was for
Cosmo to become a candidate, not Trigon.
I suspect both clauses of the statement have the same truth value.
However, in the event there is an election but Trigon is not a
candidate, I hope the judge makes it clear in eir arguments (to
distinguish it from the case where there is no election at all).
Gratuitous for TRUE:
From rule 2651/1, "A player CAN initiate an election for a specified
elected office... [w]ith 2 support... provided that the initiator
becomes a candidate in the same message."
Admittedly, there is some ambiguity here, but I argue that there is one
most sensible reading of this rule due to the way it is worded. The
tabled intent includes only initiating an election for an office.
Becoming a candidate is a separate action that must be taken in the same
message as an additional condition for completion of the tabled intent.
In this way, the identity of the "initiator" is not embedded into the
intent, it is determined at the time the tabled action completes.
