rfj add 31/0 26 Feb 2001 18:41:44 M'cachessilnath Voting without notifying the Administrator of your votes is possible [[if not entirely practical]] There is nothing in the rules that I can find which states how one should vote. Therefore, it is entirely possible to vote by any means one wishes, and one is fully justified in complaining about the actions that ought due to other rules to result from their votes not being carried out even if one has not actually posted one's votes in a way seen by the Administrator. This system may be open to abuse, as such private votes may be said by the player to be anything they like. [[I intend to write up a proposal to fix this when I get time, but a RFJ seemed more fun right now.]] ---- rfj assign 31/0 12 Mar 2001 13:34:53 Joerg ---- rfj add 32/0 27 Feb 2001 16:36:16 Joerg The modification Benjamin made to his NomicHome was invalid. Rule 340/0 states: "Contents can only be modified by adding an Object elsewhere acquired, adding a Player with eir consent or removing an Object or Player already present." Benjamin has added content which he did not acquire elsewhere. ---- rfj assign 32/0 12 Mar 2001 13:43:21 Blest Lax Monk Pal ---- rfj add 33/0 6 Mar 2001 14:28:26 Jeff Schroeder It is possible for a Player to not follow the Rules As justification for this I point to Rule 350/0 entitled "Joel must Randal". The Rule clearly states that a Randal must be performed within 10 days of the effective date of the rule, Feb 19, 2001. By Feb 29, 2001 there was no Randal, and even by today, March 6, 2001 there has been no Randal. This time limit expired before Rule 357/0 "Randal Judgements" had taken effect on March 1, 2001. Therefore it is obvious that a Player may break any rule that e wishes at any time. The purpose of this Judgement is not to force the completion of Rule 350/0, it is to clarify the fact that the Randal did not take place during the designated time as stated within the Rule. ---- rfj assign 33/0 12 Mar 2001 13:58:20 Joel ---- rfj add 34/0 6 Mar 2001 16:40:15 Joel The Player Joel is not in violation of R350/0. R350 does not require me to Randal. The first sentence states "The Player known as Joel Uckelman is ordered to Randal once within 10 days after this rule takes effect." There hasn't been a Player known as Joel Uckelman since 16 February, and R350 did not exist prior to 19 February. Though the Proposal existed before I changed my name, it was not updated to reflect that change, so in the form it was adopted it simply does not refer to me. Moreover, I cannot possibly be held accountable for the proposer's negligence in failing to alter the Proposal as a result of my name change, as the contents of unadopted Proposals are not binding. Nor are Rule titles, for that matter: Though the Rule title contains my name, Rule titles do not have the force of Rule. Also, it should be noted that the only other such naming instance in the Rules is in R208/1, which actually does refer to me, as "the Player whose real name is Joel Uckelman". Clearly this refers, as there exists a Player, namely Joel, whose real name is Joel Uckelman. For contrast, a quick check of the Roster will verify that there does not exist a Player known as Joel Uckelman. ---- rfj assign 34/0 12 Mar 2001 13:59:28 Jeff Schroeder ----
