4957 | Protection Racket (2) | Murphy | 1 | 29Apr07 | O
I call for judgement on the following statement:
"Murphy's message with datestamp Sun, 29 Apr 2007 16:59:19 -0700 had
the effect of submitting a proposal."
Arguments:
Rule 106 states, in part, "A player submits a proposal by publishing
it with a clear indication that it is intended to become a proposal".
I argue that the form of Murphy's message did not contain any such
indication. I see a request to remove this (existing) proposal from
the pool, albeit referencing it with the wrong name, and then a
precise copy of the existing proposal.
Evidence:
-----
Rule 106/4 (Power=3)
Adopting Proposals
A proposal is a document outlining changes to be made to Agora,
including enacting, repealing, or amending rules, or making
other explicit changes to the gamestate.
A player submits a proposal by publishing it with a clear
indication that it is intended to become a proposal, which
places the proposal in the Proposal Pool. The proposer of a
proposal may remove it from the Pool by announcement.

I remove "Proposal Racket" from the pool.
Proposal: Protection Racket
[We will, of course, relinquish this power and implement a fix, in
return for a suitable token. To do otherwise would be Not Fun.]
Create a rule with this text:
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.
