If you look at the full headers, each message has quite a few
timestamps on it.  There's the Date header, which is set by the
sender: the mailing list doesn't change this when it forwards
messages, so it should be consistent for everyone.  But it can easily
be an arbitrary "unreasonable" time if, say, the sender has their
clock set wrong, if they send the message while offline (or some other
issue delays it from reaching the list server), or if they outright
forged it.  In addition, there's one Received header for each SMTP
server the message passes through, noting the name of the server and
the time it received it (according to its own clock).  There used to
be a precedent that the Received header set by the list server
(vps.qoid.us) should be considered the "date stamp" to use, though I
vaguely remember there may have been a conflicting judgement later on…

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The court delivers below a verdict on CFJ 3642,
called by The Victorious and Honourable Aris.

The case before the court today raises a question of fact and a
complex and multi-part question of the law. The question of fact asks
what occurred to cause The Right Heroic, Victorious, and Honourable,
The Assessor G.'s resolutions of proposals 8050-8052 to not be
received by The Victorious and Honourable caller Aris and others. The
question of law asks what legal effects these occurrences had on the
adoption of proposal 8050. First, I will establish the facts and
address the question of fact, before proceeding to the question of
law.

At the time of calling the CFJ, two attempts had been made by The
Right Heroic, Victorious, and Honourable, The Assessor G. to resolve
proposal 8050. Both of these attempts were made by sending an email to
agora-offic...@agoranomic.org, a public forum, according to the
Registrar's Report of June 12, 2018. Neither of these attempts were
received by The Victorious and Honourable caller Aris. As gratuitous
evidence, The Right Heroic, Victorious, and Honourable, The Assessor
G. provided the headers of the first of these two attempts for
analysis by the court. At the request of the court, The Right Heroic,
Victorious, and Honourable G. provided the headers of the Registrar's
Report of June 12, 2018, for comparison. Through both manual analysis
and text difference comparison, the court has found no meaningful
difference between the headers of the two emails, provided for
comparison. As a result of not finding a cause from analysis of the
headers, the court sought server logs from The Victorious and Right
Honourable, The Distributor omd. The Victorious and Right Honourable,
The Distributor omd was unable to provide the sought logs, as a result
of the settings on the server. However, in eir place, The Victorious
and Right Honourable, The Distributor omd provided a report outlining
the problem. According to the report, a Python script had caused
corruption of the configuration file for
agora-offic...@agoranomic.org, therefore causing the server to revert
to the configuration file from 2013. This caused The Victorious and
Honourable caller Aris and all other persons who had signed up to
receive mail from agora-offic...@agoranomic.org after 2013 to have
their subscriptions cancelled. These facts seem to fully explain why
the the attempts to resolve proposals 8050-8052 were not received by
The Victorious and Honourable Aris and others. As no other
explanations have been put forth and no objections to these facts have
been heard, the court takes these facts as absolute and resolved.

The court having established the facts of the matter before it, the
court proceeds to consideration of the question of law. The Victorious
and Honourable caller Aris argues that CFJ 1905 states, "non-receipt
of a message by those who have arraigned [sic.] to receive messages
via the forum is grounds to regard actions taken therein as invalid."
The Victorious and Honourable caller Aris goes further stating that e
does not believe that the message enters eir technical domain of
control. The facts, resolved above, support the assertion that the
message never entered air technical domain of control. In CFJ 1905,
The Right Heroic, Victorious, Learned, and Honourable Murphy found
that for a message to fulfill the requirement of Rule 478 that it be
"sent via a Public Forum", it must "re-send the message to a
reasonably large subset of the set of all person who have reasonably
arranged to receive messages via the public forum." The problem that
arises here is whether the set of people subscribed in 2013, who would
have received The Right Heroic, Victorious, and Honourable, The
Assessor G.'s message is a "reasonably large subset" of those who had
arranged to receive messages via the public forum now. For the
purposes of this determination, it serves the game best, if a priority
is placed on reception by players and those others who might
reasonably be expected to respond to or engage with the message,
therefore the court now determines that additionally the subset of
"the set of all person who have reasonably arranged to receive
messages via the public forum" who did not receive the message and the
effects that non-reception had should also be considered. In this
instance, the subset who did not receive the message would be
substantial, as a substantial portion of the current player base has
registered or begun engagement from their current email addresses
since 2013 and in consideration of the effects of non-reception, the
court observes that many players attempted to take actions which would
be rendered IMPOSSIBLE by the message that they did not receive.

If two recipients have different mailservers, the mailing list will
have to forward the email to each mailserver individually. It'll have
headers indicating that it's conceptually the same message, but it's
physically a different sequence of bits sent over the network.

> If so, is there any chance the stamps on each individual copy of the

Emails have a sequence of timestamps in their headers, indicating when
they reached each mailserver. The timestamp specifying when the email
reached the mailing list's mailserver should be the same (for obvious
reasons), but the timestamp specifying when it reached the recipient's
mailserver may well vary considerably. (Imagine if the recipient's
mailserver were temporarily offline when the first attempt to deliver
the message was made; the mailing list will notice that the message
didn't get through and will try again a few hours later.)

A separate message is sent to each subscriber, therefore variation could
occur. However, given the small size of this mailing list, any such
variation should be insignificant and from my understanding, regular. By
regular, I mean that if my time stamp is 2 seconds after yours on one
message, then on a different message, the same difference would occur,
therefore the order of events and time between events should not be in
dispute. However, I don't know much about mailing lists either, so if
someone else thinks that I am wrong, they probably have a point.

I don't know how mailing lists work.  Is a "separate" message sent from
the list to each individual recipient?  If so, is there any chance the
stamps on each individual copy of the same message would vary?  
(obviously this might fall under "game-changing delay" that you cite
