OFF: [ADoP] Resolving Mad Engineer election

2021-09-19 Thread Edward Murphy via agora-official

Mad Engineer votes:

ais523  {ais523, G.}
Jason   endorse G. -> {ais523, G.}
R. Lee  ais523
Falsifian   endorse Trigon -> {G., ais523}
Trigon  {G., ais523}
G.  {ais523, G.}

ATMunn tried to endorse G., but I believe e missed the deadline.

Based on 7 voters on Proposal 8602, I believe quorum is 5.

Based on the latest Referee and Treasuror reports, I believe each voter
had the default strength of 3.

R. Lee was still a player when this election was initiated, so per
Rule 683 eir vote remains valid.

ais523 is elected by a margin of 4 to 2 (would have been 4 to 3 with
ATMunn's vote).

OFF: [Mad Engineer] Weekly intent (#3)

2021-09-19 Thread Kerim Aydin via agora-official


(@AdoP this constitutes the ME's weekly report)

I intend, with Agoran Consent, to cause Rule 2655 to amend Rule 2654, by
appending the following list item to the "device off" section:

If the rules define it as a self-ratifying attestation to a
given device, the device is ratified.

[Note 1:  I'm not sure how the 'it' will be interpreted, but the previous
clause is "By default, a device CAN, with 2 Agoran consent, enact, amend,
or repeal a regulation for which e is the Promulgator.", so something in
that earlier clause might be the "it".]

[Note 2: I don't think I saw this sentence on people's suggestions, but
let me know if I missed it]

With the support of Trigon, Murphy, and Falsifian, and respectful
acknowledgement of ais523's objection, I flip the Device to on.

Happy Holiday!!


CFJ: If a player breached a power-2 rule by missing a deadline right
now, punishing that breach would generally be appropriate.

Evidence:
{{{
Excerpt from R1769 (power 3):
   If a person breaks a Rule by missing a deadline that occurs
   during a Holiday, punishment is generally not appropriate.

Excerpt from R2654 (power 1):
    When the device is on:
  * click - hummm
  * The week that contains the beginning of Agora's Device,
    together with the following week, is a Holiday.

Excerpts from R2140 (power 3):
   Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, no entity with power below
   the power of this rule can
[...]
   3. set or modify any other substantive aspect of an instrument
   with power greater than its own (that is, one that affects the
   instrument's operation).

The rules relevant to punishing rule violations (R2557, R2478, R2531)
all have Power of at least 1.7.

The Device is on.
}}}

Arguments:
{{{
Because the Device is on right now, and was created within the previous
two weeks, R2654 attempts to create a Holiday. Does it have enough
Power to a) do that, and/or b) cause the Holiday to actually do
anything?

Every rule that this could potentially be affecting has a Power greater
than R2654 does. So I think it's plausible to read R2140 as preventing
R2654 from modifying the operation of higher-power rules. The situation
is far from clear, though, which is why I think this is worth a CFJ.

Caller's Arguments

Arguments for FALSE:

First, holiday is not defined by the rules.

The only effects of making a day a holiday is (from R1769/15):
   If a person breaks a Rule by missing a deadline that occurs during
   a Holiday, punishment is generally not appropriate.

And in (Rule 2125/13):
   An action is regulated if: (1) the Rules limit, allow, enable, or
   permit its performance; (2) the Rules describe the circumstances
   under which the action would succeed or fail; or (3) the action
   would, as part of its effect, modify information for which some
   player is required to be a recordkeepor.

The rules don't explicitly limit, allow, enable or permit the making of a
day to be a holiday, so not (1).  The rules don't describe when making a
holiday would succeed or fail (2).  What about (3)?  The only record
involved would be the referee's punishment of blots, but that's after a
finger-pointing.  At that point, the referee has freedom to ignore the
holiday rule ("generally not appropriate" is a much weaker standard than
the "blatantly and obviously unsuited" standard in R2531 that would 
change

the outcome of the referee's free decision).  Overall the current
punishment system is too indirect for those records to be considered 
"part

of the effect" of a holiday being created.

(Of course, saying that a holidaymaking is unregulated doesn't mean it 
can

be done by announcement or anything like that).
