>     the single message.
> CFJ 752 (called 13 Mar 1995): Something sent to a Player who is

> CFJ 813 (called 22 Oct 1995): A Player need not prove that e can receive

>     to all members of an IRC channel but are not sent via that channel.
> CFJ 866 (called 08 Apr 1996): A message is "received" when the message
>     enters the recipient's normal technical domain of control, whether
>     this be eir private machine or eir private account on a shared
>     machine (but not the shared machine itself, if the recipient does not

> CFJ 1112: In order to submit a Proposal, in the sense of R1865 and

>     collection of text must also be received in the Public Forum.
> CFJ 1214-1215 (called 14 May 2000): Conditional actions (of the form "If

> CFJ 1631 (called 29 Apr 2007): Public announcements must be made in the

>     line does not deprive the message body of effect.
> CFJ 1880 (called 22 Jan 2008): A phrase that would, in the message body,
>     cancel the effect of the rest of the message, does not have such an

> CFJ 1761 (called 30 Sep 2007): Publishing part of a message is a
>     different action from publishing the whole message.
> CFJ 1646 (called 30 Apr 2007): The act of "publishing" or "announcing"
>     is accomplished when the message has left the sender's technical
>     domain of control, indicated by one of the "Received:" headers0.
> CFJ 1695 (called 23 Jun 2007): A partnership, which by its nature can't
>     directly send email, can participate in the fora by means of its
>     members sending messages on its behalf, if its governing agreement

> CFJ 1768 (called 22 Oct 2007): The right of participation in the fora is

> CFJ 1738 (called 29 Aug 2007): An obligation on a player to not publish

> CFJ 1893 (called 03 Feb 2008): A non-consensual non-contractual

> CFJ 1336 (called 13 Dec 2001): A public statement that one wishes to
>     perform an action that one can perform by announcement can constitute
>     an announcement that performs that action.
> CFJ 1621 (called 08 Feb 2007): Where an action can be performed by
>     announcement, announcing that one deems something to be the case that

> CFJ 1584 (called 24 Feb 2006): CFJ 1584 (called 24 Feb 2006), CFJ 1728
>     (called 20 Aug 2007): ' Saying "I do X 1000 times", where X is
>     something that can be done by announcement, is an acceptable

>     be used with an infinite repeat count, because it is impossible to
>     write out an infinite number of instances of "I do X".'
> CFJ 1774 (called 01 Nov 2007): Saying "I do X 10000 times", where X is
>     something that can be done by announcement, does not necessarily
>     achieve 10000 instances of X, if writing out 10000 instances of "I do

>     abusive. The presumption is in favour of the shorthand being
>     successful.
> CFJ 1775 (called 01 Nov 2007): If an announcement of the form "I do X N
>     times" is not be acceptable shorthand for N instances of "I do X",

>     effect of M instances of "I do X" for any non-zero repeat count M.
> CFJ 1730 (called 22 Aug 2007): An appropriate announcement will
>     accomplish an action even if its author believed the action was
>     impossible.
> CFJ 1841 (called 20 Dec 2007): A message-based action cannot be
>     retroactive.
> CFJ 1971 (called 22 May 2008): An announcement with a general disclaimer
>     as to its contents cannot fulfill a requirement to report
>     information, but it may successfully cause game actions to be taken
>     if the actions do not depend on the truth value of the disclaimed
>     contents.
> CFJ 2133 (called 09 Aug 2008): A disclaimed statement cannot cause an
>     action to be taken by announcement.
> CFJ 2112 (called 23 Jul 2008): An action is only taken by announcement
>     if the Rules define it as such; e.g., posting an objection to a
>     dependent action is not an action taken by announcement.
> CFJ 2151 (called 05 Sep 2008): Some unregulated actions, such as
>     celebrating and revealing things, can be taken by announcement.
> CFJ 2086 (called 15 Jul 2008): Message-based actions are always taken in
>     some order, never precisely simultaneously, possibly unless otherwise
>     stated.
> CFJ 2179 (called 23 Sep 2008): An message-based action can be taken even
>     if its sender cannot be identified.
> CFJ 2221 (called 13 Oct 2008): When an action is specified as "can do X
>     in order to do Y", and a player does X without specifying intent to
>     do Y, e does not do Y.
> CFJ 2238 (called 22 Oct 2008): The requirement of unambiguous
>     specification applies to the parameters of an action.
> CFJ 2363 (called 01 Feb 2009): "X can do Y by doing Z" does not imply
>     that X can do Z.
> CFJ 2441 (called 06 Apr 2009): Due to a limitation of the mailing list
>     archives, attaching a message with a particular text does not count
>     as publishing that text.
> CFJ 3025 (called 15 May 2011): If it is clear what he did, then it must
>     be clear what he did; if it is not clear what he did, then it is not
>     clear what he did.
> CFJ 3106 (called 19 Oct 2011): When a person announces that "e performs"
>     an action, the referent of "e" (i.e. eir identity) must be clear.
> CFJ 3002 (called 19 Apr 2011): A message of the form "This statement
>     causes {action}" is ineffective as a way to perform {action}, and may
>     be an attempt to act on behalf of the statement.
> CFJ 2899 (called 12 Nov 2010): A player's real name does not necessary
>     identify em.
> CFJ 3409 (called 09 Apr 2014): An action can be performed in the subject
>     line of a message, if it sufficiently clear (as outlined in the
>     judgment).
> CFJ 3603-3604 (called 16 Nov 2017): ASCII art of text can be clear
>     enough to suffice for communications, and in particular for taking
>     actions by announcement.
> CFJ 3630 (called 02 Mar 2018): An action referencing outside content
>     requires that the attempt to act is clear, the nature of the
>     attempted action is clear, and the outside context cannot be altered
>     by em and will remain available long enough for others to interpret
>     it.
> CFJ 3642 (called 15 Jun 2018): Regardless of CFJ 1314, a message has not
>     been sent via a public forum if its non-reception by some persons who
>     arranged to receive it has affected which game actions they chose to
>     take or not to take.

>        A "number" is considered to refer to a real number, unless
>        otherwise explicitly specified.  A "number of (items)", where
>        (items) is a set of discrete entities, is considered to refer to a
>        non-negative integer, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
>
>        If a switch is defined as being associated with a specified set of
>        numbers (a numerical switch), then the possible values for that
>        switch are the numbers in that set. In particular, a natural or
>        integer switch is a switch with possible values the non-negative
>        integers or all integers, respectively. If a limit is further
>        defined, the possible values are the numbers of the set within the
>        specified limits.
>
>        If 0 is in the specified values for a numerical switch and no
>        default value is otherwise specified, 0 is the default value for
>        that switch.
>
>        If the rules describe mathematical operations to be used in
>        flipping an instance of a numerical switch, the operations are
>        interpreted as having common-sense mathematical application to
>        determine that instance's resulting value. For example,
>        "increasing a switch instance by M" is equivalent to "flipping a
>        switch instance from its current value N to the value N+M". If the
>        specified mathematical operation would result in a value outside
>        that switch's defined set, the flipping CANNOT be performed, rules
>        to the contrary notwithstanding.
