spoon-business: Judgement RJF8

[Benjamin Bradley <activist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the matter:

Agents may not communicate via public fora.

I rule false.

More words:
Rule 116 allows whatever is not limited by the rules.
None of the rules limit who may communicate via public fora.
Therefore, Agents are allowed to communicate via public fora.

In this judgement, I take the first sentence of the rule, "Fora are the
means by which Players communicate." to be a qualifying statement and not
a restrictive statement.

This is basically what God said in his RFJ.

Cited rules:

Rule 105/0 : Agents 
       An Agent is an entity capable of action. The status of entities as Agents may be altered only as
       specified in the rules. An entity may cause emself to lose eir Agency, but may not, solely on eir
       own authority become an Agent.


Rule 112/0 : Fora 
       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.


Rule 116/0 : Permissibility of the Unprohibited
Whatever is not prohibited or regulated by the Ruleset is permitted and
unregulated, with the sole exception of Rule Changes, which are permitted
only when a Rule or set of Rules explicitly or implicitly permits them.
