Hang on, I don’t think that matters. The pledges, reproduced here for
convenience, were
CuddleBeam's:

Yours:

CuddleBeam’s syntax is ambiguous, which I’m sure is going to come back to haunt
someone, but I read eir pledge as if it were
{{{
I pledge that, if
1. rules relevant to CFJs haven't changed since I have announced this pledge,
and
2. the barring attempt above had barred someone, and
3. I have at least one and I am capable of such a transfer
then
* I will pay 1 shiny to whatever judge is summoned via this CFJ.
}}}
In turn, I read your action, in the same fomat, as if it were
{{{
If
1. CuddleBeam has no Shinies, and
2. I am the judge summoned to judge CFJ 3505, and
3. CuddleBeam’s pledge compels em to pay me 1 shiny,
then
* I pay CuddleBeam 1 shiny.
}}}
The barring attempt mentioned in CuddleBeam’s pledge is this:
> I also opt to bar one person from such procedure. That person is the person

If this barring attempt is not successful - and I don’t think it is, then the
condition in eir pledge does not apply and e is not compelled to pay you one 1
Shiny. Therefore, the condition in your action does not hold (clause 3 is
false, and the clauses are joined by ands), so your action can be resolved and
does not take place.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re the judge summoned via the attempt at
paradoxical barring or whether you’re the judge summoned by the Arbitor’s
assignment. It does matters whether the paradoxical barring worked - and I
don’t think it did.
I’m off the hook!
