spoon-business: rfj: transferability of points |
I request judgement on the following statement: If a rule states certain conditions under which points should be transfered, and those conditions are met, then those points should be transfered without any action by the current owner of the points. Analysis: -----Rule 121/3 : Score is quoted here: Associated with each agent is a scalar quantity known as eir score. An agent's score is a representation of the number of point objects owned by em. The owner of one or more points may transfer any or all points in eir posession to another legal owner by posting to the public forum. If the rules call for the Administrator to credit a player with a certain number of points then e shall order the transfer of those points from the Bank to that player. If the rules call for the Administrator to debit a player a certain number of points then e shall order that player to transfer the required points to the Bank. ----- This rule does not explicitly state that this is the only way to transfer points, and I want a definitive ruling. A TRUE ruling on this would mean that e.g. points exchanged for similarity challenges would be transfered without each player having to post a message indicating so. - You have received mail from Quebec. my beard will eat your mustache. - http://lostpoet.tripod.com/ - whee life what a rush
