RE: spoon-discuss: RE: spoon-business: The most-revised proposal ever: 236 again

["Jonathan Van Matre" <JVanMatre@xxxxxxxx>]

Hypothetical situation:

I submit four proposals.  Someone forgets to count them.  All four get
adopted and enacted.  Someone realizes what has happened and CFJs me for
exceeding the bandwidth limit.  CFJ: "Scoff! submitted one too many
proposals."  Ruling: True.  Now what?  We can change our *records* of
the game state and rules, but if all that changes is the records, that
means my 4th rule is in effect even if it's not on the record.  I still
have the points I received for that 4th proposal, even if they are not
on the record.

There has to be some kind of power somewhere for the game state to be
changed when CFJs require it.  One can always CFJ the actions taken as a
result of a CFJ if necessary.

--Scoff!

No! Kitty is a bad Kitty! 
By which I mean, the ruling should never change anything. It may require
changes to *our records of things*, but that's not the same thing.
Although the opposite viewpoint is probably defensible.
