Re: [s-b] MoQ Report - Consultations 155-160 Priest Assignments

[Jay Campbell <bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I answer Yes. (An answer of No would put us back in Era 4 or earlier.)

The rule currently reads, "If the Clock is Off, there are no Vacant 
Ministries and there are no outstanding Ministerial obligations, the MoM 
is obligated to turn the Clock On, and fulfilling this obligation does 
not violate the rules."

If there are no outstanding obligations, a single obligation is created. 
This causes the original condition to fail, but that condition need not 
pass again, because the obligation has already been created.

The rules do not specify the reverse, that the clock cannot be turned on 
if there are outstanding ministerial obligations.

(For those who say "we can't just infer definitions", there's nothing 
that says when a minister is "obliged" he then has an "obligation", but 
I'm inferring that it does. I agree completely with Warrigal's recent 
post on this subject.)
