I have looked at all the CFJs involved and your gratuitous arguments and 
am ready to deliver my judgement. Am I good to do so?

Thanks!  Not requesting more than that.

I'll add a gratuitous coda/final argument for the record:

This chapter in Agoran history ended soon after the Bank Heist, which
brought about a dependent action fix by Proposal 8107 (Buried Intent
Prevention Act v2, adopted 27-Oct-18).  That proposal changed this text:


  “1. A person (the initiator) announced intent to perform the action,
  unambiguously and clearly specifying the action and method(s)
(including the value of N and/or T for each method), at most fourteen
days earlier.“


to:


“1. A person (the initiator) conspicuously and without obfuscation
  announced intent to perform the action, unambiguously and clearly
specifying the action and method(s) (including the value of N and/or T
for each method), at most fourteen days earlier.“


This separation made "without obfuscation" part of the whole announcement
message (meaning 'no hiding' the intent overall), but separated
"unambiguously and clearly specify" to refer only to the intent contents
(asking once you find the intent in the message, is it clear?)  That
distinction currently persists in game custom, and in the dependent action
rules text (game custom seems to apply the standard to all action
specifications not just intents), and is the basis for my vote counting.

-G.

Thank you for the input. I will definitely take a closer look at those
previous cases and incorporate them into my judgement. It's my bad for
not at least briefly looking for previous precedents. If someone finds
that other successful hidden message from 2018, I will incorporate that too.



Found it.  And it's ... somewhat unhelpful.

Sending to BUS to make it formally "gratuitous" and put the messages in
evidence:

Hidden intent message forwarded in full when the action was actually
performed:

https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2018-October/039325.html

(shorter report, but payload lines are even more hidden within the report
- see if you can find without peeking at the answer).


found it :)




CFJ was 3670, called here but with no Caller's Arguments:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2018-October/039327.html


Judged here:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2018-October/039452.html

And unfortunately, by that time it looks like everyone pretty much
accepted that the hidden message was fine, and the arguments were all
about a contract thing that might have been wrong.  Here's what that
CFJ 3670 judgement says about clarity:


As the intent was
published to a public forum, e had given sufficient notice, and the
intent, although it followed a quoted statement, was not buried, the
condition is fulfilled and e did, in fact, perform the three given
actions.


So the judge says that intent was "not buried" (though to me it looks
pretty buried!)

So where this sort of thing got judged or entered custom to count for our
version of "clear" is still a mystery.  So at this point, I'm honestly
happy if the judge just mentions "this sort of thing worked before, but
the precedents are confused and let's look at it fresh" or "this one was
*extremely* buried" with maybe a quickie comparison between the actual
past hidden messages (not worrying much more what the past judgements
thought).
