It wouldn't gut contracts because anything specified by a Contract _is_
regulated under the rules. It's just designed  to prohibit _criminal_
liability for "interpret[ing]" the rules.

The below report is also missing D. Margaux's 2019-06-03 reward, but
it won't self-ratify because it's already CoE-ed. The "fresh" report

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: implausible denial

Any verbs that are "speech verbs" (e.g. object, doubt, support, deny,
claim, etc.) are assumed to be doable by email virtue of the factual
evidence of the email that constitutes the act - so for those we say
it needs to be public, but we don't have to specify "by announcement".
But "publicly and clearly announce that the claim is denied" is much
better grammar anyway so I'll go with that.  :)

It's still unclear what method a player can use to "deny" a claim (or even what 
a denial is).

What about this:. "publicly and clearly announce that the claim is denied" or 
"publicly and clearly deny the claim by announcement"

It won't self-ratify even then.  The resolution of a CFJ doesn't
"cause it to cease to be a doubt" the way a denial of claim does.  The
only way to make it undoubted post-CFJ is to either just publish a
"new" document, or re-CoE the old one (which gives the publisher an
opportunity to deny the claim).

Indeed. The "in a timely fashion" modifier immediately precedes "CAN," not 
"SHALL." So that phrase modifies either "CAN" or "CAN and SHALL"--but I don't 
see how it could be read grammatically to modify "SHALL" alone, and NOT "CAN."

IMO one of the biggest recurring grammatical issues in the Rules is
whether "CAN and SHALL in a timely fashion" is "CAN (and SHALL in a
timely fashion)" or "(CAN and SHALL) in a timely fashion".  It's come
up a few times at least but does anyone remember if we solved it in a
CFJ somewhere?  Obviously the flipped form in R2154 is a grammatically
strong case for (2).  I tried at one point to introduce the definition
WILL (e.g. "The AdoP WILL initiate...") where WILL means one of those
two options, but I think opinions were split on which option should be
the default.  There are use cases for both.

2019-06-12 Thread D. Margaux
Oh wow. That’s funny.  I didn’t even notice that that was for a prior year 
election. Lol. 

This made me notice another big problem. There is an ongoing “election” under 
Rule 2154, and I don’t think there’s any way to terminate it!

Here’s why:

Several weeks ago, an “election” for PM was “initiated” under Rule 2154. The 
ADOP opened a nomination period, and i think G. and Aris both announced eir 
candidacies? 

Under R2154, “In a timely fashion after the nomination period ends, the ADoP 
CAN and SHALL” initiate an Agoran decision to resolve that PM “election.” The 
ADOP made two attempts to do that, but under R107 those attempts "invalid" 
because they failed to identify Aris as a valid option.

I then tried to distribute the Agoran decision as Deputy ADOP, but that didn’t 
work because more than 1 week has passed since the close of the nomination 
period!  R2154 clearly says that the ADOP “CAN” initiate the Agoran decision 
only “in a timely fashion after the nomination period ends.”  And my attempt 
was more than 1 week after the nomination period, so i could not initiate the 
decision as deputy ADOP at that time!

If that’s true, then there’s no way to initiate an Agoran decision on the PM 
election  and there’s no other way to terminate that election!

What a mess!

It's trivially TRUE in the context of the ~July 6 election (and based on
how the CFJ is worded, that's enough for a trivial TRUE without addressing
the current election, that twg was intending to address).

BUT, in terms of the matter twg was trying to get at, Corona gave consent in
the context of a previous election.  Personally, if I consent to be
installed into office during the course of a particular election, I wouldn't
think I'd be consenting to every future election!  (and if it's construed
that I did consent for all future elections, it sure wasn't with my
informed wilful consent!)
