Swann attempts to submit the following Proposals: 1) The Repeal-O-Matic Rule: Each week the Promotor randomly chooses five Rules, selects one to three of them, and the ROMR Proposes their repeal. 2) Repeals Without Objection: All Players are empowered to repeal any Rule over which the RWOR takes precedence, Without Objection. 3) Duty-Free Days: Once per term, the Speaker may declare a period of two to seven days during which all fees/payments normally required of Players (not including fines for Crimes or Infractions) are suspended. RECENT CALLS FOR JUDGEMENT * October 23: CFJ 1014 "This statement is TRUE." Dismissed by Michael per Rule 1565 (iii) CFJ 1047 "General Chaos committed the Crime of Wrongful COE Denial." Previously Judged TRUE Justiciar elJefe moves to overturn/reverse * October 25: CFJ 1060 [paraphrased] "Ross Morgan-Linial did not transfer a Kudo from Harlequin on ." Judged FALSE by General Chaos * October 26: CFJ 1014 Dismissal published CFJ 1058 "elJefe committed the Crime of Persecution, a Class A Crime, in incorrectly alleging in the Public Forum that Morendil was Lawless on October 14." ChrisM defaults Reassigned to General Chaos CFJ 1059 "Rule 1714 should be interpreted such that an allegation of Lawlessness sent to the PF must contain an explicit declaration that a particular Player is Lawless." Judged TRUE by elJefe, who adds eir belief that "Player X has more than 30 Blots" is not such an explicit declaration, because verification of its synonymity with "Player X is Lawless" requires looking up definitions in the Ruleset. CFJ 1060 Judgement of FALSE published OTHER NEWS Steve points out that Rule 1555 refers to the event (not the condition) of being deregistered, and thus that it does not cause Morendil to lose the Office of Speaker-Elect. Oerjan claims to have been the one who caused Vanyel's deregistration for inactivity to be delayed. * October 21: Murphy posts to the Public Forum and is thereafter Not Absent, whatever e was previously. * October 24: Kolja A. is Elected Ambassador by Acclamation. Since this preceded Proposal 3564's adoption, it appears that e later committed the Infraction of Failure to Report. Morendil disputes this interpretation with a CFJ, claiming that Rule 1585 and its ASAP timing requirement takes precedence over Rule 1686's once-every-Nomic-Week timing requirement. (This reviewer believes that the CFJ is trivially FALSE due to inaccurate wording.) * October 26: Rule 1458 (The Notary) is Disinfected. The Office of Notary is held temporarily by Speaker Steve. Morendil, Elde, and Swann are assigned Executors in Probate Harlequin, Kolja A., and Steve, respectively; Blob has not yet been assigned an Executor in Probate. * October 28: Vir Rebels. Uri Bruck becomes a Watcher. * October 29: Zefram attempts to make the following Currency transfers: 0.9 VT to each of Rule 113, the Vototron, the Kudo that favor once identified to be buzzing, Plato, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Benjohn Barnes, the fyshbowl, Larry Wall, and Screaming Lord Sutch 1.3 VT to itself all eir remaining Currency except 2 VTs to Peter Suber one VT to eir other VT eir final VT to the VT it possesses as well as transferring a Kudo from Steve to Vanyel, transferring a Kudo from General Chaos to Andre, and deregistering; and later CFJing on the success of some of the Currency transfers (as well as taking part in an extended argument on the validity of various potential Currency recipients. Ackanomic submits the following Internomic proposal: Ammend R215 by replacing the string "Rishonomic" with the string "New Rishonnomic" Internomic's policy on misspellings, and thus the potential effect of this proposal, is not yet determined. Swann (whose Executor is presumably Steve) claims to re-register, Rebel, and CFJ on "I (the caller of this CFJ) am my own Executor." Registrar pro-tem Steve admits Herald Crito's COE on ex-Registrar Zefram's claim that Crito committed the Infraction of Failure to Report. Rule 1733 may grant Steve the power to vacate the relevant Payment Order; General Chaos points out that a successful CFJ would, in any case, allow a Judge to vacate it. KoJen states "I hereby perform every action which is possible for me to perform in Agora, simultaneously." * October 30: Registrar pro-tem Steve initiates Elections for Registrar and Notary. -- Ed Murphy http://www.bayside.net/users/ford/ "I see," said Arthur, who didn't.
