Rule 118/0 : Eligible Voters 

     Every Player is an eligible voter on each Ballot Issue. Other Agents
may be eligible voters, if allowed by the Rules.

0. Initial Rules adopted, 02 Oct 2000 00:00:00

Players, a subclass of Agent are allowed to vote by rule 118, therefore I
rule FALSE.

I do not feel that the RFJ statement matched the arguments provided.  
Rule 118/0 is interpreted as making players eligible to vote, but that
other agents are not eligible unless specifically allowed elsewhere.  
While not consistant with the logical "if", this interpretation is
consistant with the use of the word "if" in the English language; it
implies an "if and only if" in this context.
