If I send a message to all players as well as a-d saying that "Y = 4",
and then conditionally vote only if Y=4, what happens? Whether Y
equals 4 can be reasonably determined by all players from information
published during the voting period. But I don't think the intent of
R2127 was to allow that sort of thing. All relevant information
should have to be published to a-b or a-o and stored in the a-b or a-o
archive.
Indeed, what if the Agoran decision is private, and I publicly
announce that I vote FOR conditionally if Goethe privately voted FOR?
With this interpretation, the truth or falsity of the condition can be
reasonably determined /by the vote collector/ from information
published during the voting period.
