Judgement
Yes, a player CAN by some method, the method being ratification w/o
objection. TRUE.
[Not part of judgement: it was not as relevant to CFJ 3765-3766 as I
thought
a few minutes ago - sorry about that. Still, this is a technicality and
not what you wanted to get at, I think.]
I may very much be wrong here, but does that count as the player
creating it? Specifically, what is the agent that causes changes to the
gamestate during ratification? I would argue that the agent is not the
player.
Rule 2202 says:
Any player CAN, without objection, ratify a public document,
specifying its scope.
I certainly agree that when a person does RWO, that person is the one
doing the ratification. However, ratification is not defined as an
action itself. Instead, the action of ratification is given certain side
effects.
Rule 1551 says:
When a public document is ratified, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding, the gamestate is modified to what it would be if,
at the time the ratified document was published, the gamestate had
been minimally modified to make the ratified document as true and
accurate as possible
This rule says that when a public document happens to be ratified, there
happens to be a side effect of changing the gamestate. The rule does not
explicitly specify an agent, nor does it say that to ratify a public
document is to cause the changes to the gamestate (in which case I would
agree with you). Perhaps the best claim for an agent for the changes to
the gamestate would be R1551 itself?
