First I'd like to point out how my second CoE had the same format as Janet's
response to my first CoE, perhaps showing the intuitiveness of the argument for
the CFJ in this message.
CoE on the report: Yachay owns the Hot Potato stone.
CFJ, barring nix: Yachay owns the Hot Potato stone.
Arguments for TRUE:
Snail, Janet, and nix all tied for highest modified stone rockiness at the end
of the week, so the following rule text applied:
In a tie, the stone
specified by the tied player who reached first is transferred to
em.
snail was the player that "reached first", since e was the first player to ever
reach (though it was for the Score Stone), so the Hot Potato stone is
transferred to em, as e reached for it the previous week, and the previous
week's stone specifications are what are referred to by "stone specified."
Complications may arise if you consider the sentence before this:
At the beginning of each week, the stone specified by the player
with the highest Modified Rockiness that reached for a stone in
the previous week is transferred to em.
but it seems to merely supply the context under which "stone specified", "in a
tie", and "tied player" is to be defined. "Reaching" is defined in a separate
paragraph:
Once a week each player CAN "reach" for a specified stone owned by
Agora by announcement.
It is worth determining what "in a tie", "stone specified", and "reached first"
each mean.
Also note that "When interpreting and applying the rules, the text of the rules
takes precedence."
It seems pretty clear to me that when the rules say "reached first" it refers
to the player that took the reaching game action first, among the relevant
players, generally, and not specifically "in the previous week" as others may
argue, as that wording isn't present in the text.
