I think maybe not. At least with the rule set, I don't think the notifications would be very useful. All of the changes will either be adopted proposals (redundant with the Assessor) or changes to my scripts/the formatting (irrelevant). Gaelan > On May 18, 2017, at 6:45 AM, Publius Scribonius

My reading of the rules (person can communicate logical thoughts, player is a registered person) makes me believe that Alexis and scshunt refer to the same player, and therefore are synonyms. Therefore, I believe that the ratified Tailor’s report is equivalent to this: Alexis: CWY scshunt: ROCB

DIS: CFJ data for FLR

Currently our CFJ data is a bit duplicated between the Rulekeepor's and Arbritor's records. I think it would be optimal if we did things like this: - Summary field on (some) CFJs in the CFJ database similar to how they are listed in the FLR now. - Field in either the CFJ or ruleset database li
