Detail: http://zenith.homelinux.net/cotc/viewcase.php?cfj=3071 ============================== CFJ 3071 ============================== Proposal 7095 created a rule. ======================================================================== Caller: omd Judge: ais523 Judgement: TRUE ======================================================================== History: Called by omd: 23 Jul 2011 19:57:54 GMT Assigned to Walker: 24 Jul 2011 18:33:09 GMT Walker recused: 26 Jul 2011 10:53:12 GMT Assigned to ais523: 08 Aug 2011 15:28:20 GMT Judged TRUE by ais523: 12 Aug 2011 10:36:34 GMT ======================================================================== Caller's Arguments: Arguments: I'm not sure exactly what "[no] player of [Agora] can make arbitrary changes to the gamestate" means, but it sounds suspiciously like an Agora Is a Nomic violation. (Note that AIaN was amended by my proposal in the immediately prior resolution.) ======================================================================== Caller's Evidence: On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 3:39 PM, Ed Murphy wrote: > Proposal 7095 (AI=3) by Yally > Agora, Adult > > Enact a new power-3 rule with the following text: > > Agora can make its own decisions.

I don't think that's an AIAN violation, unless it happens to be the same change for each player. (All this seems to do is platonically claim that dictatorship scams don't exist, which probably needs fixing...) ======================================================================== Judge ais523's Arguments: It was presumably already the case that no player could make an arbitrary change to the gamestate (barring a currently unknown dictatorship scam), so this doesn't change anything. Note that "no player can make arbitrary changes to the gamestate" does not imply "no combination of players can make arbitrary changes to the gamestate", which is what AIAN blocks. Note that it doesn't even block AIAN to forbid some sorts of changes entirely, so long as it's still possible to repeal the rule that forbids it (which would provide a mechanism to make the change anyway). ========================================================================
