Certainly. I'm admittedly a bit new to judging, but I'll read some older CFJs to get a feel for it. After considering a bit further, I would amend > precisely because it is impossible to reach a condition under which it > might be considered complete. to state instead > precisely because it is

If you're interested in judging, I'm happy to assign this to you! While your conclusion is still speculative your reasoning so far is solid. On Sat, 23 Sep 2017, Jack Henahan wrote: > My reading of the rules also suggests that a pledge without a defined > completion state may be considered brok

My reading of the rules also suggests that a pledge without a defined completion state may be considered broken by design, and therefore could be argued to be invalid. To use the example which I presume prompted this CFJ, nichdel's pledge > I pledge not to acknowledge any messages Cuddle Beam se

I believe Cuddlebeam's actions failed as e is allowed 1 action per day via QAZ, and none of my other agencies give em any power, so the batching creates a lot of excess work, and can be dismissed for being a ISTID I have no idea of V.J. Rada's attempt to allow me [and everyone else] to win worked,

I'm not sure, but isn't it terrifying? Cuttlefish! Cuttlefish! We may need to form a milita in order to combat this menace (I'm assuming they've been weaponized, given "deploy"). -Aris On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 8:10 PM Gaelan Steele wrote: > Don’t tell me this is a registration attempt. > > On Ma

This seems more badge-worthy than era-worthy. (P.S.S., I think you suggested a patent title a while back, maybe a badge?) Given the length of time we were moribund (probably the longest quiet stretch in recorded history), and the comment that this was the most active month, maybe the badge of so

I believe that Spending Power is no longer a thing. The Logical Rulesets hasn't been issued in quite some time. See the OFF archives for December, which contain the relevant proposal resolutions. By the way, I'm back, and given that Agora is active again I will happily resume doing my job. -Aris
