Caller's Arguments:

(9 Nov 2009 20:40:22 GMT)

I suggest that e be fined all of eir Crops (e no longer owns
any Lands) and that some other party who performs the duties be
awarded some amount of those crops.



Gratuitous Arguments by BobTHJ:

(9 Nov 2009 21:24:38 GMT)

I did coppro a favor by not awarding eir points before, since (unless a
skunk is declared, which I OBJECT to coppro's attempt to do, this
wasn't a scammed win by high score), coppro's score benefits more by
having eir points awarded after the reset as a result of my win
instead of before.



Gratuitous Arguments by G.:

(13 Nov 2009 03:10:12 GMT)

Gratuitous though I'm not a member:  would a reasonable bit of equity
be for em to become inactive briefly/for an instant, so that e loses
the priority Speaker status that the win cemented for em?



Gratuitous Arguments by G.:

(7 Dec 2009 05:24:03 GMT)

I believe BobTHJ did in fact act in poor faith; I invite members to
to opine on manners of restoring equity.  -G.



Gratuitous Arguments by ais523:

(7 Dec 2009 08:58:51 GMT)

This feels like a similar situation to an officer violating a deadline
so as to be able to give emself a win (even though it's not quite that
situation); I'm not sure if that's happened before, or what the penalty
should be in such a case. Perhaps a future bar on points from the
contest to BobTHJ, for a while, but that would be rather gameable
considering the way the AAA works; perhaps the next n points e would
gain from the contest are instead not awarded.



Gratuitous Arguments by BobTHJ:

(9 Dec 2009 16:19:36 GMT)

I intentionally did not award other points to other farmers from the AAA
first as a courtesy to them. I was likely that my win by high score
would reset points (sorry, I didn't follow to see if it was skunked)
and I figured the people owed points would rather have them after the
reset than before. I acted in what I believed to be the best interest
of the farmers.
