Deregistration due to Rule 1789 depends in part on the CotC publishing
a Writ of FAGE, which depends in part on instructing the Registrar to
act. However, "Registrar" is no longer defined, and this existential
fallacy may be interpreted as preventing any publication from being a
Writ of FAGE, which would prevent deregistration due to Rule 1789.

Rule 1789/3 (Power=1)
Cantus Cygneus
Whenever a Player feels that e has been treated so egregiously
by the Agoran community that e can no longer abide to be a part
of it, e may submit a document to the Clerk of the Courts,
clearly labeled a Cantus Cygneus, detailing eir grievances and
expressing eir reproach for those who e feels have treated em so
badly.
As soon as possible after receiving a Cantus Cygneus, the Clerk
of the Courts shall publish this document along with a Writ of
Fugere Agorae Grandissima Exprobratione, commanding the Player
to be deregistered and instructing the Registrar to note the
method of deregistration for that Player in subsequent Registrar
Reports, as long as the Player remains deregistered.
The Player is deregistered as of the posting of the Writ, and
the notation in the Registrar's Report will ensure that,
henceforth, all may know said Player deregistered in a Writ of
FAGE.
Judge Sherlock's Arguments: | | (21 Dec 2006 17:16:36 GMT) |
R1789 specifies two steps that the Clerk of the Courts must follow in publishing
a Writ of Fugere Agorae Grandissima Exprobratione. The first is to command the
player to be deregistered and the other is an
instruction to the Registrar. Since the Registrar is no longer a defined
office, this instruction cannot be given. Note R1586, which specifically
states:
If the Rules defining some entity are repealed or amended
such that they no longer define that entity, then that
entity along with all its properties shall cease to exist.
This makes it pretty clear the Registrar was not renamed the Herald -- instead,
it ceased to exist. This voids the Clerk of the Courts' responsibility for
issuing a Writ of FAGE, since the requirements of this rule are impossible to
fulfill under the current ruleset. Therefore, as of the time of this CFJ
players could not be deregistered per R1789.
