It relies on “including by changing the set of parties”, yes? It’s not “ including changing the set of parties”, and I don’t know what the ‘by’ would do there, but that it’s there makes all of this a lot less clear to me. On Sat, 9 Feb 2019 at 14:43, D. Margaux wrote: > Crud. This is the same

In my view, rule 1742 doesn’t pose a problem. A person by registering gives willful consent to be bound by the rules, and the rules say that parties to a contract can modify it by adding additional players as parties. So by virtue of willfully consenting to be bound by the rules, a player also

Upon my first reading, this didn't surprise me that much. It makes sense that these systems would look similar because AFAIK Contracts were actually modeled after the rules. However, then I realized that CFJ 3664 where G. and D. Margaux informally agreed to do something but because it

Oh dear, I'm sorry. I did think your setup looked similar to mine but I couldn't see why, if you were planning the same thing but your end goal didn't rely on a dependent action, you wouldn't just activate it immediately. I guess if you were hoping to succeed via timing then that explains that.

The proposal that put our current contact system into place said “destroy all contracts.” Luckily, it was before the rule defined “contract” was created, so it’s probably fine. (Also, our safeguards probably would have cleaned things up) Gaelan > On Feb 9, 2019, at 10:36 AM, Cuddle Beam

Yeah, it’s hard to argue that they aren’t a contract. There have been times in the past when that’s been explicitly specified (well, at least that they’re construed as if they’re a contract between the players). -Aris On Sat, Feb 9, 2019 at 9:44 AM Reuben Staley wrote: > Upon my first reading,

This interpretation is correct. That provision would be rather meaningless if it didn't stop mousetraps, given that it is rather specifically designed to stop mousetraps. I will also cite CFJs 3587 & 3588, which mentioned that the provision has such an effect ("Additionally, Agora has codified

I’ve always thought of Agora as more of a non-profit corporation, although I guess it’s currently an unincorporated association. Walruses were an asset once, weren’t they... I seem to recall reading an old CFJ that mentioned them once. -Aris On Sat, Feb 9, 2019 at 4:32 PM David Nicol wrote: >
