CFJ 1148 "Midnight of a given day is the midnight at 00:00 hours of [TRUE] that day." 7/31 Called by Palnatoke 8/3 Assigned to harvel, who Judges TRUE Caller's argument (summary): The refutation of this statement is that midnight of a given day is 24:00 hours of that day. CFJ 1149 "If entity X submits a Transfer Order satisfying a Payment [TRUE] Order naming another entity Y as payor, entity Y will commit the Crime of Contempt by Inaction if entity Y does not submit the Transfer Order specifically required by the Payment Order." 7/31 Called by Elysion 8/3-8 Assigned to Kolja A., who Judges TRUE Caller's argument (summary): Rule 1569 requires the payor of a PO to submit a TO. If someone other than the payor satisfies the PO, the requirement on the payor remains. CFJ 1150 "One, or both, of the following assertions are true, to wit, firstly, that Elysion is guilty of Tardiness in not reporting to Steve regarding the ex-Player Morendil's Denaria holdings within one week of Steve being assigned as Trustee for Morendil, or secondly, that Steve is guilty of Tardiness in not posting to the Public Forum a Probate Plan for Morendil within one week of having received from all extant Recordkeepors reports regarding Morendil's holdings in the Currencies for which they were respectively Recordkeepors, the transmission of said reports being mandated by Steve's assignment as Trustee for Morendil." 8/1 Called by Morendil 8/3 Assigned to Michael CFJ 1151 "R.1896 (c) (iii) implicitly designates a Player who is a Legislator to temporarily be a Voting Entity after having satisfied certain conditions (eg, transferring 6 Amoeba to the Bank)." 8/3 Called by harvel 8/3 Assigned to Murphy CFJ 1152 "If a Rule implicitly designates a Player who is a Legislator [FALSE] to temporarily be a Voting Entity, then such implicit designation is sufficient to allow that Player to vote." 8/3 Called by harvel 8/3 Assigned to Palnatoke, who Judges FALSE Judge's refutation (summary): Rule 206 states that a Voting Entity may lack authorization to vote. CFJ 1153 "If the Rules implicitly designate a Player who is a [FALSE] Legislator to be a Voting Entity temporarily, and that Player is not otherwise denied voting privileges, then that Player may vote." 8/3 Called by harvel 8/3-5 Supposedly assigned to Peekee, who made emself ineligible; assignment prevented by Rule 897 8/6-7 Assigned to Annabel, who Judges FALSE CFJ 1154 "A Player who is On Hold may not be assigned as a Trustee for [FALSE] an entity in Probate." 8/1 Called by Morendil 8/6 Assigned to Wes, who Judges FALSE Caller's argument (summary): Rule 1584 prevents it. Judge's refutation (summary): Naming a Player as Trustee is not itself a requirement for that Player to perform or avoid any action. Rule 1584 probably prevents the usual requirements of Rule 1738; those requirements are in terms of ASAP, and Rule 1023 (which defines ASAP) defers to Rules regarding the responsibilities of Players On Hold. CFJ 1155? "Honourary Players of Agora are considered Registered Players of Agora by entities which exist entirely outside the Agora Nomic Rules." 8/8 Called by The Colonel Caller's argument (summary): Rule 869 should be interpreted so as to make this statement false.
