Distributing this promise would be easy because it's just 200 coins, which
we could Parley to extract from omd and then evenly distribute that.

The most important part of the existing locker contracts are the "acting
as emself" clauses, which means that nobody can steal assets from the
contract, even if they could steal assets from the person emself. This
contract does not appear to have such a clause.

Sorta.  In 2014 we went back to basics and repealed the CotC and had the
Speaker assign cases.  Then when that got too much again we brought the
office back, but under the new name.  The old CotC had an official "post
the case after the fact" duty, and the new job description left that all
out.

After a while we realized missing the archive posts was a Bad Thing. So
sometime in, I dunno 2015 maybe?, ais523 (I think) agreed to to Arbitor if
e didn't have to keep all the records, and I agreed to do CotC as long as
I didn't have to be timely (could catch up monthly or whatever).  So we
agreed to that split and never formalized it.

I'm comfortable doing both atm because a lot of what I did manually before
is now automated, but it's nice to have the option of splitting the job
(and/or not moving the archives with the office).  If I resigned Arbitor
I'd give the new Arbitor the option of em doing CotC or me doing it
(unless we make it two offices of course).  I'm using the [CotC] tag to
signal "this is after the fact and I'm not performing any official duties
here".

Arbitor: 1


I would bump this one up just because this position is messy at times.

Coopor: 1
Distributor: N/A?


At this point, Distributor doesn't have any report or anything so I 
guess that it doesn't really matter. However, I could see at some point 
a kind of list report, so I'd probably set this to 1 for that just in 
that eventuality.

I may have started this, but it doesn't actually work.

Rule 2509 says:

The auction method says:

"amount" is close enough to number that I think the rules would force it
to be a non-negative integer. This means that all of the fractional bids
were INEFFECTIVE.

 This is funny and all, but I should probably mention that fractional and
 decimal bids are likely unpayable since the auction logic I'm using
 require fee-based actions to claim prizes, and assets can only be paid
 in whole number increments. Don't think it's illegal to place these
 bids, though, so there's nothing stopping you, I guess.

Actually I take that back, those bids might just fail.

   * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by specifying an amount
 of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to any bid on that
 auction.

My memory is that we have something on the cfj books where "amount of a
currency" is inherently in the units of that currency and excludes numbers
outside of that?

Is "common sense" here that they fail (because it's not an amount of an
actual currency) or that they round up and thus loophole the unique bid
part?  I think "fail", personally.  Minimum bid increments are a thing in
"common auction definitions" and if the regs don't specify a minimum
increment, 1 currency unit is a reasonable understanding.

Not exactly.

For the final fee, sure it will be 36.

But since your bidding reg includes "as eir bid not equal to any bid on
that auction." this is a way to place multiple unequal bids that all come
out to paying 36.


Yeah, I realized that as well. For some reason, the possibility of 
fractional bids didn't even come to my mind.

Not exactly.

For the final fee, sure it will be 36.

But since your bidding reg includes "as eir bid not equal to any bid on
that auction." this is a way to place multiple unequal bids that all come
out to paying 36.
