I know, but I disapprove of the idea on general principle [1]. Additionally, your contract doesn't write up the proposal text for people who don't have the time to do it themselves. -Aris [1] vide https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=FAQ#Do_conditional_clauses_work.3F On Fri, Apr 13, 201

I don't think it should be too hard. All we have to do is specify that "If the auctioneer CAN transfer the items in the lot to the winner at will, e immediately does so; otherwise, e SHALL do so in a timely fashion." Presuming that Agora can do whatever it wants to do, that works fine because Rule

The real difficulty is many of the rules that have "or contract" generalizations when describing how things work. It would be so much easier if we could just assume all of auctions were transfers-from-agora and write some auto transfer-from-agora language, but we have to (all over the place) de

The Cartographor doesn't make the transfer as the Cartographor is only the Announcer. Agora, the auctioneer, is authorized the make the transfer. On Fri, Apr 13, 2018, 14:00 Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > However, (and this is the third time I've asked) can anyone point me to > where it says in the ru

AFAICT it doesn't, so e can't. I presume we're letting last week's auctions self-ratify, so that shouldn't be a problem for those. I think the best fix is to specify that if Agora is the auctioneer and the Auction is rule specified, the transfer is automatic unless specified otherwise. -Aris On F

I'd take "substitute 3 apples for 1 corn" to mean that a one-way conversion only is possible (in the useless direction). Sure, we all know the rule wasn't meant that way, but Agora tends to follow the letter of law, not its spirit. On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 2:04 PM, Ned Strange wrote: > Doesn't it
