=============================== CFJ 3825 ===============================
Upon registering, a player SHALL award a badge within a timely
fashion.

Caller: Telnaior
Judge: Murphy
Judgement: FALSE
==========================================================================
History:
Called by Telnaior: 21 Mar 2020 01:43:15

Judged FALSE by Murphy: 19 Apr 2020 19:38:44
==========================================================================
Caller's Arguments:
Rule 649 ("Patent Titles") states that a person SHALL award a patent title
within a timely fashion after the conditions authorising em to do so are
announced.
Rule 2415 ("Badges") states that a badge is a kind of patent title, and
that any player CAN award a badge.
This would appear to suggest that becoming a player authorises em, and
hence obligates em to award a badge upon registering.
Many rules throughout the ruleset use "authorise" to simply mean "permit",
supporting this connection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Murphy's Arguments:
FALSE. The clause in question in Rule 2415 requires Agoran consent, so
the conditions authorizing such an award do not arise until/unless
intent is announced and then Agoran consent is obtained.
