See last paragraph of R1885.



Sorry, hit send too soon.  I meant: READING last paragraph of R1885,
"ongoing" is not necessarily well-defined (but this probably should be
clarified).

Possible ambiguity: is this registration for the first time ever (that 
happens to be after the proposal was passed), or is it the first registration 
after the proposal passed (whether or not the person was ever registered 
before the proposal passed).


Ironically, if the phrasing had used "after", then I'd agree it was 
ambiguous, but since it uses "since", I think it can only mean the latter.

I certainly can’t see one. On the other hand, I suspect that it’s possible
to repeal the rule by proposal without clearly identifying it. The solution
would be to clearly identify a class of rules of which only this rule is a
member, and repeal each rule in that class. For instance, “Repeal each rule
that explicitly specifies that it need not be given a title by the
Rulekeepor, in ascending numerical order”. The fact that this is the only
rule meeting that description probably doesn’t make it a clear
specification of this specific rule, but the phrasing would nevertheless
manage to repeal it, since the operation is unambiguous.

Even if that isn’t true, it’s a Class-1 crime, which is hardly the end of
the world.

  Any player CAN, without objection, exorcise this rule (cause it to
  repeal itself).


Do you envision a way for a player to complete the intent and exorcising 
without breaking the SHALL?

I'm pretty doubtful as well, to be honest -- it doesn't seem to be unambiguous 
or clear enough at all. Just trying to get ahead of possibly confusing game 
state shenanigans, really.

Also, even after ais noted that they knew they weren’t registered, I still 
didn’t realize that it was a registration attempt—I assumed it would be some 
scam involving the “right now” and some sort of retroactive registration.

I suspected e was at least trying to raise the question of whether
that message registered em, but I wasn't sure whether e really
expected it to work. (Also, I've given arguments in the "Democracy"
thread.)
