Gratuitous Arguments by G.

This CFJ was called on 25-May-23, when only one Rice Harvest had occurred,
and Rule 2682/0 was in effect.

The report in question is here:

https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-official/2023-May/017077.html

No factual errors have been noted in this report, in terms of who sent
messages attempting to either make Rice Plans or to sign rice plans
either via direct consent or contract.

The question is wholly interpretive, in that all signatures allegedly
applied to the Rice Plans were governed by this clause of R2682/0:
>  A Rice
>  Plan has an active player's Signature as long as that player is
>  consenting to it.

This clause is written passively, without our general standards like
"CAN sign by announcement" etc.  And R2519/2 covers consent for "actions"
not continuous states so it's unclear how that applies.

Basically, if signing Rice Plans works as generally intended by the
rule's author, then this CFJ is true, with the persons with more than
0 rice indicated in that report.

Judge 4st initially judged this CFJ and eir original judgement is
included below, but a Motion to Reconsider was filed for that judgement,
and 4st was later recused.  The players supporting the motion to
reconsider generally gave the reason that Judge 4st's arguments called
"having a signature on a plan" a kind of "continuous action" that
players were "continually agreeing to" which didn't generally match
Agoran conceptions of actions as instantaneous events (sorry if this
is a very coarse summary of the objections).



Rule 2682/0 (Power=1)
The Rice Game

  The Ricemastor is an office, in charge of tracking Rice, Rice
  Plans and Signatures. Rice is a fixed asset, ownable only by
  players. Any active player can create a Rice Plan by announcement,
  if e hasn't done so yet in the current week. 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. An active player can destroy a Rice Plan that e
  has created by announcement.

  A Harvest occurs at the beginning of each week. When this occurs:
  - If there is only one Rice Plan with the most Signatures, that
Rice Plan is Harvested.
  - If there is more than one Rice Plan with the most Signatures,
the one that was created earliest is Harvested.
  - In all other cases, nothing happens.
  And then all Rice Plans are destroyed and the Harvest ends.

  Rice Plans consist of two lists of players, with each list having
  no repeated players, and the lists can be empty. One of these
  lists is its Rice Up list, and the other is its Rice Down list.
  When a Rice Plan is Harvested, for each player listed in its Rice
  Up list, if that player is active, e gains 1 Rice; and for each
  player listed in its Rice Down list, if e has at least 1 Rice then
  e lose 1 Rice.

  If after a Harvest there is a single active player with at least 2
  Rice and more Rice than any other player, then that player wins
  the game, and all Rice is destroyed. When the game has been won in
  this manner three times, this rule repeals itself.



Judge 4st's Arguments:

OFF: (@ADoP) [Referee] Resignation

2023-06-13 Thread Forest Sweeney via agora-official
"As it seems I am more than temporarily the herald, this is going to be my
last referee report. Y'all are goodie two shoes, so I'm not really
recording anything anyways. The actual resignation will be after the report
itself so there's no shenanigans on that front.
Let it be known! It is an easy office, I recommend it for anyone seeking to
increase voting strength. (this literally took me like ... 2 minutes to
copy paste and update a date.)"
