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. ---- 2. Ed's RFJ of 2 Oct 2000 04:18:41: 2, XnJester: Those that have declared emselves players are not players. ---- God's RFJ's of 2 Oct 2000 21:25:16: 3, Benjamin: There is no player by the name of Ed. 4, Zagarna: There is there a player by the name of Benjamin Bradley. 5, XnJester: There is there a player by the name of DW. 6, Remo: A forum not declared to be a public forum by the Administrator is not a public forum. 7, Josh Kortbein: Actions taken in a forum that is not a public forum are invalid. spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx is not a public forum. ---- God's RFJ's of 2 Oct 21:59:56: 8, Benjamin: Agents may not communicate via public fora. 9, Josh Kortbein: Joel is the only player. ---- God's RFJ's of 2 Oct 2000 22:21:42: 10, Remo: No Agent is an eligible voter unless a rule other than Rule 118 explicitly allows that Agent to vote. -- J. -- Play Nomic! http://www.nomic.net
