spoon-business: Judgment 1, further judge assignments


Judgment 1

In the matter:

Those that have declared emselves Players are not Players.

I rule false. 

The Plaintiff does not dispute one's right to become a Player if e is an 
Agent; the heart of the matter is whether there are any Agents at all.

By R105/0, "Agent" is defined as an "entity capable of action." As neither 
entity nor action are defined within the Rules, and there is no tradition 
of regarding them as having meanings other than their common ones, I 
understand them in the broad sense as referring, respectively, to beings 
and events caused by them. Furthermore, the limitation on arbitrary 
alteration of Agentic status in R105/0 does not come into play in this 
case. Of all the individuals who have thus far aspired to Playerhood, all 
met the definition of Agent (as construed above) when the game started, and 
none have since ceased to qualify.

Thus, a negation of the statement is true: those that have declared emselves Players *are* Players.

Now, for the spate of RFJ's:

The format I will be using for number and judge assignments will be the following:

(Plaintiff)'s RFJ of (Date):

(Assigned Number), (Judge). (Statement) 

Judge assignments were conducted with the help of a 10-sided die.
