spoon-business: Ruling: CFJ272

["Alex Truelsen" <a_skywalker85@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CFJ 272 (Judge: Baron von Skippy)
CFJ by Bean

Non-player entities are allowed to vote.

Analysis: The ruling on CFJ 251 specifies that "No rule specifies how a
non-player entity should vote." Thus there is no rule forbidding the voting 
of non-player entities. Thus by Rule 18, they may.

The Baron says: False.

The Baron's twisted reasoning: The fact is, this allows for tremendous 
inflation of the game. If anyone can create as many imaginary friends as 
they can create names for, anyone can give emselves so many votes per 
proposal as it is possible for them to submit. Players who kept emselves to 
NOT exploiting this would become powerless in the rush. Now, what if, for 
example, I introduce my friends from the planet Binaria: 0, 1, 01, 10, 11, 
100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111, and 
10000? Did I mention that since "Names of game entities may contain 
alphanumeric, punctuation, and whitespace characters only. Names must be at 
least one but no more than 255 characters in length. All game entities must 
have uniquely identifying names," I can have 5.7896 x 10^76 friends using 
this system alone! Now, of course I can't type that many, but the sky's the 
limit, people. I will not let this game go to em what types names the 
fastest. I declare non-player entities to be denied suffrage. [[That means 
they don't get to vote, in case you didn't know. Learn a new thing every 
day. It makes life more fun.]] Wonko's Bobs and Glotmorf's cadre are 
nonvoting entities, if that.

[[Remember: You can't spell "analysis" without "anal" unless you spell it 
wrong.]]
