Subject: Acka: CFJ 647 (FALSE)

rufus has judged this FALSE.

Call for Judgement 647 - August 25, 1998
Subject: Debunk and Repeal Equivalence
Initiator: Alfvaen (sent 25 Aug 1998 20:04 Acka)
Judge: rufus (selected 26 Aug 1998 17:57 Acka)
Judgement: FALSE

Statement:

There is no Rule 594.6.

Alfvaen's Reasoning:

Proposal 3443, which was accepted, said:

"DEBUNK The blueprint for the Gravitational Monopole (Rule 594.6)".

The Rule-Harfer's claim was that, since the Rules only allowed Discoveries
to be Debunked, this was a Null Proposal.

I refer to the precedent of CFJ 383, which settled the issue of whether
or not part of a Rule may be repealed.  I feel that the same reasoning
can be used to support the Debunking of Blueprints.

It was not at all ambiguous what the author of the Proposal meant to
happen if it passed.  Perhaps with reference to a non-Blueprint Rule,
it would have been meaningless, but I don't believe this is the case.

Judge's Reasoning:

While it may bve clear what the proposal intended to do, it
did not have that effect.  The Rules clearly give two things that may be
debunked: Discoveries and Church Organizational Actions. Rule 594.6 is
neither a Discovery nor a church Organizational Action.  Therefore
debunking it has no effect on its status as a rule.  As for CFJ 383, Rule
104 still says "If the proposal consisted of a list of one-time effects,
such as changes to the rules, then those effects shall be applied, one at
a time, in the order in which they appear in the proposal. (Ambiguous,
retroactive, and/or meaningless effects are ignored.) "  Proposal 3443 is
a one-time effect, yes, but it is a meaningless one time effect, since the
rules don't tell us how to debunk blueprints, and do tell us how to do
debunk other things

Well, the monkey may not appreciate it, but since we ahve an infinite
supply of them in the Printing Guild, this should not slow down production
appreciably.  Just don't mess with the Brass Monkey, he's rather large.

It is a 5 inch high scale model of Tim Spall which, upon the depression of a

A player may not leave the Gaol except by the application of a Rule
which explicitly defines a procedure or condition for the player to be
released or removed from the Gaol. 

Now, the rule 709 said you were released.  However, your changing of
location is not defined by Rule 709.  Hence you are still at the Gaol,
because you never actually left it.

Same goes for K 2, Studge and Robin Hood.

In that case, any player who has ever been in gaol and didn't play an OC
Skeleton key is still there because even rule 666 only says 'released from
Gaol' but doesn't allow them to leave.   I don't believe game custom would
support this interpretation which is analogous to the one you presented
above.

Since rule 709 provides a condition by which I am released, I may now in
fact leave the gaol.

In fact, a cursory glimpse through the rules does not provide any rule
except for a Skeleton key by which a player can actually leave the gaol.
All of the other rules specify released (as does rule 709 when a sentance
has expired).

Therefore, I make the following CFJ as delimited by ETERNAL_LOCKUP
ETERNAL_LOCKUP
Statement: JT's location is current JT's house.

Reasoning:
After my sentance (given by the rafting trip) expired, I was released from
Gaol as per rule 709.  According to rule 709, this would be an application
of a rule which defined a condition for me to be released.  Therefore, I
was free to leave the Gaol when I posted the public message stating that
I was going to my home.

Why - you are at the Gaol.  To leave requires you use another rule, as
Rule 709 does not enable a player to change their Location.

Has k 2 left Gaol, though?  That is, has he tried to go elsewhere?  If he

Hang on. What Rule 709 actually SAYS is: "A player may not leave the
Gaol except by the application of a Rule which explicitly defines a
procedure or condition for the player to be released or removed from
the Gaol." [emphasis mine] There is in fact a rule which defines a
condition for players to be released from the Gaol. Rule 709 also
says: "A player is released from the Gaol if and when their sentence
expires." Since this condition has in fact been met, JT (et al) may
leave the Gaol.
