=============================== CFJ 3825 =============================== Upon registering, a player SHALL award a badge within a timely fashion. ========================================================================== Caller: Telnaior Judge: Murphy Judgement: FALSE ========================================================================== History: Called by Telnaior: 21 Mar 2020 01:43:15 Assigned to Gaelan: 28 Mar 2020 18:26:02 Gaelan recused: 18 Apr 2020 15:35:44 Assigned to Murphy: 18 Apr 2020 15:35:44 Judged FALSE by Murphy: 19 Apr 2020 19:38:44 ========================================================================== Caller's Arguments: Rule 649 ("Patent Titles") states that a person SHALL award a patent title within a timely fashion after the conditions authorising em to do so are announced. Rule 2415 ("Badges") states that a badge is a kind of patent title, and that any player CAN award a badge. This would appear to suggest that becoming a player authorises em, and hence obligates em to award a badge upon registering. Many rules throughout the ruleset use "authorise" to simply mean "permit", supporting this connection. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge Murphy's Arguments: FALSE. The clause in question in Rule 2415 requires Agoran consent, so the conditions authorizing such an award do not arise until/unless intent is announced and then Agoran consent is obtained. ==========================================================================
