=============================== CFJ 4022 =============================== I am not guilty of violating No Faking by collecting taxes. ========================================================================== Caller: 4st Judge: nix ========================================================================== History: Called by 4st: 30 Apr 2023 01:13:06 Assigned to nix: [now] ========================================================================== Caller's Arguments: Arguments PARADOX: IF I successfully collected taxes, then the action was EFFECTIVE, and THUS, was NOT falsey, and could not violate no faking. IF I didn't successfully collect taxes, then the action WAS NOT effective, and thus, IS NOT covered by No Faking, and THUS, I should not be found guilty. However, I was found guilty of violating No Faking. Arbitor's Evidence: Alleged rules violation: https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-official/2023-April/016998.html Noting of alleged violation: https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2023-April/051171.html Investigation: https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2023-April/051175.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gratuitous Arguments by G.: Gratuitous arguments for TRUE: It's trivially TRUE that 4st was not found guilty of violating No Faking by "collecting taxes". E was found guilty of violating No Faking by asserting in public that collecting taxes (whether successfully or unsuccessfully) was done "as Referee". The factual matter of whether tax collection was EFFECTIVE is in fact IRRELEVANT (as it impacts nothing in the game), what's relevant for the guilty verdict is that the act of collection is not part of the Referee's duties or abilities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response by 4st: It is not part of my duties; it is also not not part of my duties. With regard to ability, collecting taxes is not part of the rules, so it is unregulated, unless of course No Faking finds it effective, and therefore, successful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response by G.: After some discussion on discord it was a bit clear 4st and I were taking entirely different angles on this case. To clarify, I did not address or think about the "unregulated" angle or R2125 at all, but rather took No Faking at face value. So I defer to 4sts arguments on the unregulated nature of the whole thing. My investigation was based on the following, solely determining if eir statement was falsy: - If 4st had written "As an official duty of the office of Referee, I collect taxes" I think most people would say that was a lie, as there was no official duty. - 4st is noting that the phrasing e used "As Referee, I collect taxes" was "technically true" as e was the Referee, and doing a (wholly unofficial and unregulated) tax. - My investigation asserted that "As Referee, I collect taxes" in a message to OFF, with the phrase "game action", with no disclaimers etc. was close enough in content and context to strongly imply "As an official duty of the Referee, I collect taxes" - false advertising is falsy. ==========================================================================
