If we happen to be amending that rule anyway, could we also replace "inquiry case" with "Call for Judgement"? I know there're several CFJs saying that it works fine as a synonym even though "inquiry case" isn't defined any more, but it confused me to no end the first few times I read the rules a

Any verbs that are "speech verbs" (e.g. object, doubt, support, deny, claim, etc.) are assumed to be doable by email virtue of the factual evidence of the email that constitutes the act - so for those we say it needs to be public, but we don't have to specify "by announcement".

It's still unclear what method a player can use to "deny" a claim (or even what a denial is). What about this:. "publicly and clearly announce that the claim is denied" or "publicly and clearly deny the claim by announcement" > On Jun 12, 2019, at 6:01 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > I submit th

It won't self-ratify even then. The resolution of a CFJ doesn't "cause it to cease to be a doubt" the way a denial of claim does. The only way to make it undoubted post-CFJ is to either just publish a "new" document, or re-CoE the old one (which gives the publisher an opportunity to deny the clai
