Re: BUS: Request to Join CFJ Pool

While we're on the note I ask to not be assigned any CFJs that aren't actually intended to resolving conflicts or ambiguity within the course of normal play. Or, if that's not possible/reasonable, just remove me from the pool. On 05/22/17 09:25, caleb vines wrote: > I would like to be added to

Re: BUS: my favorite color is relevant

Language, as used by humans, is descriptive not prescriptive. You can't force any meanings or content to exist without consensus among users, or at least formally defining it in the Agoran rules to override consensus. I recommend DISMISS. On 05/22/17 08:29, CuddleBeam wrote: > For the purpose of

I judge 3499 and 3500 DISMISS and submit the following arguments: The rules of Agora, as written, require no specific language to be used. In fact, the language of R869/3 seems to go out of its way to avoid mentioning any languages [1]. When words and phrases are defined by the rules they

Honestly, there should be a punishment for calling CFJs without evidence. You're creating extra work for at least three other people (ais, the judge, G), the least you can do is put some effort into it. I pledge to dismiss both quoted CFJs if assigned to me without evidence by the end of the

BUS: Judgement of CFJ 3465

CFJ 3465 reads: If Proposal 7821 were resolved right now, the outcome would be ADOPTED. Because I agree with the arguments included by Alexis [1] and because the proposal was in fact adopted shortly after the CFJ was called, I find CFJ 3465 TRUE. [1] { Caller's Arguments: Rule
