Caller's Arguments:

[linked to CFJ 3896]

Contracts v8 stated, said, in part:

"For the purposes of this proposal, neither pledges nor rules are contracts.

Destroy each contract."

If the CFJ immediately prior to this is FALSE, this one is trivially
false as well. However, if the previous CFJ is TRUE, that raises the
question of whether Proposal 7924 attempted to destroy Agora, and was
thus cancelled by AiaN. While the proposal states that rules are not
contracts, it says nothing about Agora as a whole. If Agora was a
contract (the term was undefined at the time), and AiaN blocks
attempts to destroy Agora by proposal, Proposal 7924 was entirely
blocked. Note that the use of "each" isn't enough to save the
proposal, since any proposal that has any part that would destroy
Agora is entirely cancelled.

CFJ 3813 is relevant, because it finds that Agora was not a contract
under a specific rules standard for contracts (although that standard
wasn't in effect at the time of Contracts v8).

Note also that this CFJ doesn't have a huge effect on the game; the
ruleset has been ratified since Contracts v8. The biggest question is
whether some old contracts, agencies, and organizations might in some
sense still exist.
