---
JUDGMENTS
(BobTHJ)
Since either true or false could be reasonably interpreted based upon
the various arguments that have arisen, the good of the game demands
that I judge TRUE.


====================
2 (District Inquiry) FALSE
Tiger's caste is Alpha.
---
Tue, 12 May 2009 18:53 - Called by Wooble
Tue, 12 May 2009 18:59 - assigned to Judge ais523 by Deputy CotC Tiger

Thu, 14 May 2009 14:54 - 0x44 opines OVERRULE - FALSE
Thu, 14 May 2009 14:54 - Overruled to FALSE on appeal
---
ARGUMENTS
(Wooble)
The Grand Poobah never incurred an obligation to flip
castes in May because the relevant rule wasn't in the ruleset at the
start of the month.  Thus, the attempt to deputise for the office is
INVALID.
---
JUDGMENTS
(ais523 - suspended)
I judge CFJ 2 TRUE, on the basis that rules cannot have a retroactive
effect (such as producing an obligation on someone with a deadline
before the time at which the rule was enacted).
---
APPELANT'S ARGUMENTS
(Wooble)
the judge's reasoning argues for FALSE, i.e., that Tiger's caste is not Alpha.
---
APPEALS JUSTICE ARGUMENTS
(BobTHJ)
I agree with ais523's reasoning, though he obviously entered a
mistaken judgment. I opine OVERRULE - FALSE.

====================
3 (District Inquiry) FALSE
A message sent to the spoon-business mailing list is a public message
even if it contains no disclaimer stating it is public.
---
Tue, 12 May 2009 18:59 - Called by BobTHJ
Wed, 13 May 2009 19:16 - assigned to Judge ais523 by Deputy CotC Wooble
Wed, 13 May 2009 19:30 - Judged FALSE by ais523
---
JUDGMENTS
(ais523)
I judge this FALSE. s-b is not a Public Forum, and unless a message
there contains some other indicator that it's meant to be public, it
isn't a public message.

====================
4 (District Supreme)
Wooble and Tiger both possess White ribbons.
---
Thu, 14 May 2009 15:18 - Called by Wooble with II 3
Mon, 25 May 2009 19:24 - assigned to Judge ais523
---
ARGUMENTS
(Wooble)
these are only earned when a person becomes a player for
the first time.  These are VALID if and only if Tiger and I, the
persons, were not players before the Emergency registered me and e
registered emself.  The whole projection into the game as a Game
Object thing is almost certainly both relevant and confusing, so I set
the II of this CFJ to 3.
