I like it. It seems to be a direct logical consequence of the judgment (although this might get you an IRRELEVANT judgment). Jason Cobb On 6/16/19 5:09 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: On 6/16/2019 1:45 PM, Reuben Staley wrote: My judgement is as follows: When a player "SHALL NOT" perform an

This judgment is contradictory. By Rule 2125 [0], the Rules cannot be interpreted to proscribe (prohibit) unregulated actions. Since you judge that breathing would NOT be regulated, then the rules do not prohibit breathing, yet you state otherwise in your judgment: > Any parties to this

This is interesting. R1885, power 2, says "the Registrar CAN put that zombie ... up for auction.". R2549 is power 1, so I think 1885 wins. It doesn't exactly say "initiate" an auction, but in the context of the rules I think it must mean that. I can think of two ways to interpret the situation.

Remember that the same rule is also what says that if the Rules define an action, then you can't do it outside of how the Rules say that you can [0]. I don't think we want to repeal that. [0]: Excerpt from Rule 2125 ("Regulated Actions") { A Regulated Action CAN only be performed as

Maybe a model like this would work: - _Each_ requirement-creating entity (including both the Rules at large, each contract, regulations, etc.) has its own set of "regulated actions", and cannot be interpreted to say anything about actions outside of this set. This would keep the stipulation

The regulated action would be breaching a contract you consented to, which is unlawful under the rules. It wouldn't matter what was in the contract. I think any reasonable human judge would rule as such. On Mon, Jun 17, 2019 at 12:40 PM Kerim Aydin wrote: > > On 6/16/2019 6:10 PM, Rebecca

I think that might fall victim to the same thing I tried with CFJ 3737. When we have contracts, any player can get the Rules to prohibit anything (at least for certain players), thus removing the protections. So, when I create a contract that prohibits breathing, breathing would be indirectly

Gratuitous Argument The Pledge rule states that "N is 2 unless the pledge explicitly states otherwise". But it doesn't say what N is when the pledge _does_ explicitly state otherwise. Therefore, N is indeterminate and there is no explicit Class for this crime, so it defaults to a base value of 2.

Oh gosh, I'd completely forgot about that. If anyone else forgets the context, Rule 105 said (and still says) that "A repealed rule... MUST be reenacted with the same ID number" - i.e. all repealed rules are guilty of not being reenacted. If nobody's up for rephrasing it, I think we should at
