But does it actually do that? If so, I own the recursion stone and ais523 now owns the soul stone. If not, my recursion stone was transferred to ais523. A real thinker, a conundrum, if you will.

Caller's Arguments: Granting consent in most cases is described in Rule 2519/2, and CFJ 4013 recently found that, even without that rule, the general concept of "giving consent" requires positive evidence of consent, and neither silence nor ambiguity should be inferred as granting consent. However, *withdrawing* consent is another matter. In particular, you CANNOT withdraw consent from a contract without the unanimous agreement of parties or unless the contract text itself explicitly allows it. Otherwise, the contract wouldn't be a "binding" agreement, by the basic definition of "binding". Rule 2682/0 contains this clause: > Rice Plans can have > Signatures, and each Signature must be of an active player. A Rice > Plan has an active player's Signature as long as that player is > consenting to it. This *anticipates* that consent could be withdrawn from Rice Plans, but provides no mechanism for doing so. My belief is that this is regulated (the Ricemastor tracks signatures) so it is currently IMPOSSIBLE to withdraw consent. However, in the event that the above rules text enables the "natural" withdrawal of consent by various means, there is no standard of communication to be inferred, no "good of the game" reason to allow for consent withdrawal, and no "good of the game" reason to decide that the burden of proof is for or against withdrawal succeeding. So it could quite easily lead to PARADOXICAL if my conditional above is indeterminate. Another possibility is that by making a "consent withdrawal" as a paradoxical statement, is is no longer clear from context as per R2519 that consent exists, which effectively removes it (therefore a withdrawal attempt that is paradoxical still results in withdrawal). ==

Now there is controversy: there is long-standing tradition both in letting people choose eir own names and asking for people to choose unique names. Names are not defined by the rules. There is, however, an old CFJ stablishing that names are identifiers that uniquely specify players across all contexts in Agora. The question is: is this enforceable? Besides not defining them, the rules don't even *mention* names; instead opting to make officers “uniquely identify” players. So, in my view the crux of the matter for this CFJ is to determine whether refering to a current player by a name that a previous player had, in a context where only registered players are mentioned, *is* actually uniquely identifying the current player. -- Judge nix's Arguments: I judge this CFJ IRRELEVANT. The rules do not mention and do not care about person's names. Reports and actions need to clearly differentiate who they are referring to, but nothing says that needs to be done by names. It's not regulated, nor is it tracked. The closest we get to tracking anything like names is the Registrar's report, which must include "information sufficient to identify and contact each player." This could be many things, such as email address, assigned identifiers, registration date, or many other solutions. Some are clearly more useful than others, but all seem allowable. It also seems to be that nobody is debating whether this person is called blob. I could be wrong here, but the debate appears to be about whether that is ambiguous. Meaningful questions may arise in specific usages of this name as an identifier. It may very well be ambiguous with the previous player also known as blob, especially in instances of reports that mention both (Herald, Registrar, and Rulekeepor monthlies perhaps) or in actions that can refer to any persons, not just current players (titles, ribbons). These deserve their own CFJs when they occur, with arguments about the specific instance. There's also a very valid concern about whether this muddies the clarity of historical documents, or historical research. I think this concern needs to be balanced with the long-standing tradition that the caller mentions of allowing players to choose their own name, and of referring to players primarily by chosen name. This appears to be a conflict between individual rights Agora gives, and the best interest of Agora long-term. Both seem to be equally strong claims about the best interests of Agora to me. Ideally this would be resolved by agreement on conventions, either informally or legislatively. In any case, I believe this CFJ is both the wrong question and the wrong approach to addressing this conflict. I beseech interested parties to seek common ground and to ask CFJs on specific instances of potential ambiguity/conflict that more directly interact with the rules. When it becomes clear how often this is actually an issue (or not) for play, it may become easier to agree on standards. ==

We generally say "CAN once" > if an action is only intended to be possible once, and the "once", once > present, is now repealed. This means that it should be possible to > anoint multiple ritual numbers using the same ritual act. Caller's Arguments: To me, the intuitive reading of "When [event] happens, a player CAN [verb]" is that a player can do the verb one time per event. This is the way I would mean this is plain speech, and it's the way the rules of pretty much any board game are written. "When [event] happens, draw a card" doesn't usually mean you can draw more than one card. Nothing in the rules (that I see) seems to suggest any reason that Agora would interpret this differently than plain speech or analogous situations in other games. -- Gratuitous Arguments by G.: In any board game, if a rule said "When you place your meeple, you can draw a card", I don't think any board game group in the world would interpret it as meaning you can empty the deck. I wholly agree that the "whole deck" interpretation is Agoran current custom and that, barring minor technical issues, this win was obtained totally fairly under that assumption. But I sure am interested in how the assumption came to be - so I might ask the judge to look into details or first principles if e's willing to pursue it a bit, instead of just saying "it's our common custom" (which is a totally fair reason to uphold the win). For example, tabled actions are written continuously - a player can perform the tabled action "if e is [currently] a sponsor" of an appropriate intent. Some of the "multiple wins from one trigger" successes were based on Apathy intents. If the precedent was written originally for the tabled action case, and depended on the continuity of the condition, it might have been an error to extend it to "When X happens, a player CAN Y" language. -- Judge Yachay's Arguments: Guidance in Rule 217 states: When interpreting and applying the rules, the text of the rules takes precedence. Where the text is silent, inconsistent, or unclear, it is to be augmented by game custom, common sense, past judgements, and consideration of the best interests of the game. However, the text of the rule isn't clear, such text being: When a ritual act is performed, any player CAN, within 7 days, by announcement anoint a ritual number, specifying the ritual act and the new ritual number. The text of the rule can be understood to mean either that you can anoint once, or that you can anoint multiple times. Arguments in favor of being able to anoint several times has been Agoran custom, custom which I am personally not very familiar with, but evidence from G. and a lack of counterarguments to this seems reasonable enough to permit it as evidence for this case: I wholly agree that the "whole deck" interpretation is Agoran current custom and that, barring minor technical issues, this win was obtained totally fairly under that assumption. However, there are also arguments in favor that you shouldn't be able to anoint several times, for example, from Caller nix, which seems to me to allude to what would be "in the best interests of the game": To me, the intuitive reading of "When [event] happens, a player CAN [verb]" is that a player can do the verb one time per event. This is the way I woul
