Call for Judgement 709 - November 24, 1998 Subject: Indeterminate Treasure Value PWCFJ Initiator: else...if (sent Nov 24 1998, 18:00 Acka) 1st Judge: SIRe (chosen Nov 25 1998, 04:05 Acka) (declined) 2nd Judge: Euphrates (chosen Dec 4 1998, 05:20 Acka) (declined) 3rd Judge: Trent Judgement: Statement: It is equally legal and illegal for the Treasure-Harfer to mark the treasure described above (the one with the map reading "This sentence is false. If the previous sentence is true, else...if will find this treasure.") as found. Reasoning: First, this is a PWCFJ. This is the same concept as PolPot's recent PW. The questions is whether this is close enough to be dismissed as invalid. ------------------------------ From: Matt Miller Subject: Acka: It's beginning to *ping* alot like Christmas Date: Sun, 06 Dec 1998 09:35:16 -0500 (EST) Today is Sunday, the 6th day of December, and the Machine That Goes *ping* Has Gone *ping* today.
