[s-b] CFJ (assigning to Goethe)


I CFJ on: "Goethe has cast a vote in the current Emergency Decision."

Arguments:
<c-walker> 4) The people vote.
<ais523> hey, that means we all platonically vote               [1002-12:39:01]
<ais523> even if we never send a message                        [1002-12:39:04]
<ais523> how do we determine what we voted?                     [1002-12:39:09]
<ais523> (c-walker: this sort of logic is entirely reasonable for B, by the
         way)                                                   [1002-12:39:23]
[...]
<_0x44> Are you going to resolve the Emergency?                 [1002-12:56:38]
<Wooble> I think "the people vote" being read platonically is probably a bad
         interpretation.                                        [1002-12:57:20]
<ais523> this is b, who cares                                   [1002-12:57:28]
[...]
<_0x44> Rule 123:                                               [1002-12:59:17]
<_0x44> this Rule SHOULD be interpreted                         [1002-12:59:18]
<_0x44>       using judicial findings, game custom, common sense, and
<_0x44>       consideration of the best interests of the game.
<_0x44> A dictatorship is in the best interests of the game, if it gets people
        playing the game.                                       [1002-12:59:36]
<ais523> a rule claiming how it should be interpreted in MMIese is nonsensical
                                                                [1002-12:59:47]
<_0x44> And a platonic interpretation of "the people vote" is in keeping with
        B's game-custom.                                        [1002-13:00:02]
<ais523> definitely                                             [1002-13:00:44]
<ais523> there are no judicial findings                         [1002-13:00:52]
[...]
<ais523> and although it goes against common sense, 2 out of 3 swings it
                                                                [1002-13:01:01]


I deputize for the Oracle to assign this CFJ to Goethe, who I'm pretty
sure is active and standing, although the relevant reports are very
old.
