All right, I will refrain from abbreviating you as Oscar in the future.

Now, are you going to assign Prerogatives or let the rest of us fight
over it (not that it wouldn't be funny)?

 Oscar, or anyone deputizing if Oscar fails to do so: I believe the
 current MWoPs are myself, ais523, root, yourself, and Wooble. Note that
 Canada being awarded MWoP will not change this; it will subsequently
 lose the title due to not being a player.
Correction: root will lose it, not Canada. OscarMeyr will still remain
Speaker.

It is a person; I'm not aware of it ever becoming a player.

Sure.  CotC duties remain nowhere near as onerous as (say) high-velocity
asset recordkeeping, I just need to actually get around to it regularly.

  I note that the CotC is very nearly overdue on one of these recusals,

  able to deputise relatively soon; an appeals case being held up for 14
  days is not in the best interests of Agora.
 
 In 2213a, the intended judgement seems rather uncontroversial.  It
 would probably be better if the CotC would just support the intent in
 lieu of Sir Toby.
 
Yes, agreed, but I can't deputise for that.

That's a good question. It seems that the CotC site has been updated, but I 
don't know if Zefram has any influence on that site. . .

 Unless I missed a message, you haven't ended the pre-trial phase
 yet; it will end automatically in just over 24 hours, and the time
 limit for assignment will start.
 
 The CotC database is not yet aware of the pre-trial phase.  I may
 eventually fix that, but it's not a high priority.
 
I've already submitted my arguments defending myself. I thought that that 
would be sufficient to end the pre-trial phase. . . But apparently not.

 
 Zefram posted the Rulesets three days ago, and eir oldest standing
 obligation as CotC (the assignment CFJ 1805) still has over four days
 to go.  If e remains cut off long enough, then I'll nominate myself
 to take back the office (and we'll have to reassign Rulekeepor and
 Promotor as well).
 


I suggest that we wait a few days before doing so.

 You don't need to do that dependently.

 By deputise with an argument, do you mean deputise for a duty that
 can be satisfied in multiple ways, stating in advance which way you
 intend to choose?  I don't see why this wouldn't work, given that
 you can do the same thing without the advance statement.

This reminds me of the precedent set in CFJ 1334, in which it was
ruled that a dependent action failed because the announcement of
intent was insufficiently specific.  However, that determination
hinged around the phrase unambiguously describe, which is not used
for deputisation.

While it seems that the CotC is indirectly required to perform that action 
(else he can't assign any judges, which he is required to do),

This is slightly wrong.  The CotC *can* assign sitting judges, e is
merely forbidden to do so.  Your general train of thought about indirect
obligations is sound.  The closest thing we've got to a precedent here
is CFJ 1488, which argues against the concept of indirect obligations.

Yes, this set of deputisations definitely wouldn't work.
