Thanks for inviting me.

On my way back to the Revolving Shed, I stop by the Museum.  After looking
around at the exhibits (which doesn't take long), I donate Little Bag O'
Chips Z to the Museum.  Perhaps it will become one of those exhibits that
curators are always reminding custodians not to throw away. And then I go

Subject: Acka: New Church created -- Seleya

I hereby announcing the official creation of a new Church, the
Church of Seleya.

The Founder is /dev/joe.

The initial members are /dev/joe, Niccolo Flychuck, ThinMan, and Malenkai.

The Dogma of the Church of Seleya is:

If there were no lawful advantage gained by belonging to a Church,
Vulcans and other like-minded people probably would not join a
Church.  However, there is such an advantage now, thus a great altar
is constructed here on Seleya, the tallest mountain on Vulcan, to
help protect free-thinkers from hordes of torch-wielding flat-earthers.
Through a powerful telescope which is built into the altar, it is
possible to see the Earth!

This part of the Policy of the Church of Seleya is public.  The
Church may have other policy which is not public.

Any player may be a follower of the Church of Seleya, except for those
players specifically banned.  The Founder has the rights to ban players
from becoming followers, to remove such bans, to remove followers from
the church, and to amend this policy, as well as any other rights defined
in the rules.

I am ordaining Malenkai as a priest in the Church of Seleya.

just the same, and it's appropriate to what happened (stealing the

Malenkai appealed the verdict on exactly these grounds.  Mohammed
and mr cwm have returned from vacation so Niccolo Flychuck and I are
no longer acting justices, and you two instead need to return a
verdict on it.

The acting justices cleared the other CFJ's that were pending in the court. :-)

The rule I refer to as making sense is the Quorum rule. The point you made
I also made prior to the quoted text. However, now provisions were ever
made for a situations when there are fewer players than duties to fill.

As for your specific question, I think that when there are only six active
players there is no reason for the Senate to be in session, and the
decisions that fall to the Senate should be made by all Active players.

I am declining this trade.  While I found the transfer of the trinkets
artifical, as the way I see it I really don't have them except as an
artifact of the simulation, the Scroll of Crumble that was transferred
could have been done so in the absense of the subgame, and was a
legitimate use of the OMCL, although I don't have to like it :)

This is not nit-picking; I generally find the sort of nuance in

The question is, did Guy Fawkes grant /dev/joe permission to enter his
house (the tower, for all intents and purposes, is part of the house,
permission to enter one is sufficient to enter the other).

If he did not have permission, he is not at the Tower.

/dev/joe claims permission is granted from the description of the
Tower itself [or at least I presume that is the basis of the claim]:

> All are free to enter the Monument, but do so with neither irritation
> nor anger

What if /dev/joe attempted to do so with anger?  Is the Tower
description
sufficient to deny permission to an angry player to enter?

I argue that the Tower description has no power to change the game state
in this way, and that is the key point of this CFJ, what is a change
in the game state?  I argue that the granting of permission to enter
a common location is a change in the game state, and that a Tower
description does not have the authority to do that.

>From R 841:

> Towers may not manipulate protected entities or perform protected
> actions

The "protected" language is from a previous era in the rules, but it
seems that granting permission to enter a common location is
protected.

On the other hand, it does seem obvious that a player should be able to
grant permission via a tower description, but I do not think "seeming
obvious" is enough.

What if the owner of the Tower wants to revoke permission?  Can they
override the desciption carved in the Tower?  If the description is
granted authority by the rules to grant the permission, the answer
is no.  If it is not, this CFJ is trivially TRUE.

I'm not overly concerned where /dev/joe is, as it did not affect the
treasure hunt, but again apologize for finding this sort of thing
interesting.

ThinMan's Reasoning:

I do not think it justified to construe the description of a tower,
trinket, or other entity to have any legal ramification whatsoever,
except insomuch as the rules may explicitly stipulate such in certain
instances.  Guy Fawkes intent may well have been to grant general
permission, but I do not find that he legally did so.
