Statement: Wonko's props 650, 651, 652, and 653 did not exist, and 
should not have been put into effect. 

Analysis: 

Wonko had the Pink Scarf. Eir gender is set to Drone. 

The Scarf rule, R258, reads: "If the player's declared Gender is Drone, 
the player's posts must include *buzz* and *crackle* strings at random 
throughout, due to the static electricity effects of the Pink Scarf." 

There are large blocks of text in the public forum message that the 
props in question were quoted from that did not contain static, large 
enough to suggest the static did not appear "at
random throughout", but was left out of those text blocks on purpose. 

Since Wonko was required to add the static "at random throughout," and 
didn't, the message quoted from was not legal; therefore, it should not 
have been thought to exist for the purpose of quoting from it. Thus, 
the props that were quoted from that message that did not exist in a 
legal sense should not exist either, should not have appeared on the 
ballot, and should not have been put into effect. }

Judgement: FALSE
Analysis: The Rules dont contain phrases such as "reasonable doubt", 
and the problem with randomness is that it is random, and hence 
the random process used _could_ have produced the text in the messages. 
With no other evidence, I must judge this CFI false.

cheers,
Iain
