spoon-business: Proposal and RFJ

[Adam Tomjack <adamtj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose that the following rule be added to the ruleset:

A forum not declared to be a public forum by the Administrator is not a 
public forum.  Actions taken in a forum that is not a public forum are not 
recognized.

Analysis:
Just to be explicit.

Secondly, I request judgment on the following two statements:
Agents may not communicate via public fora.  Joel is the only player.

Analysis:
Rule 112:
Fora are the means by which Players communicate. All Fora are either public 
or private. A Player using a Forum is considered to be "in" that Forum at the 
time of its use. Actions may be taken only in public Fora, unless otherwise 
specified in the Rules.

Does this rule mean that Agents can't communicate in public fora?  It doesn't 
appear to explicitly prohibit it, and since there are no other rule which 
prohibit Agents from communicating via public fora, then I would think that 
Agents can communicate via public fora, and those Agents who have expressed 
their desire to become players in the public forum, spoon-business, have make 
legitimate actions and are players by whatever rule it is that says they are. 
 If it is judged that Agents may not communicate via public fora, then 
clearly Joel is the only player and thus the only entity that may vote in the 
first nweek since the rules currently do not explicitly allow any Agents to 
vote (see Rule 118, only players and designated agents may vote).  This RFJ 
is simply to clarify the point.  
Oh, and since I am an Agent, then by Rule 234, I, God, may make a Request for 
Judgment.

God
