[Creator] Looney [Create Date] 2009-05-01 23:43 [Statement] It cannot be determined with finality whether the transmutation proposals <a href="/proposal/373">Proposal 373</a> and <a href="/proposal/367">Proposal 367</a> were adopted. This constitutes a paradox per <a href="/rule/211">Rule 211</a>. [Arguments] From <a href="/rule/106">Rule 106</a>: "Rule-changes that transmute immutable or convention rules into mutable rules may be adopted if and only if all the players who vote on the rule-change vote in favor of it." From <a href="/rule/203">Rule 203</a>: "A proposal to enact, amend, or repeal a mutable rule is adopted if and only if it receives more votes in favor of it than against it." Neither these nor any other rules specify the conditions under which a proposal to transmute mutable rules into immutables is adopted. Therefore, we have no way of knowing when such a proposal can be said to have passed. As there have been such proposals, we're screwed. [Decision] True [Judge] Metaloop [Reasoning] <a href="/rule/102">Rule 102</a> says: "All rule-changes proposed in the proper way shall be voted on during the turn in which they are submitted. They will be adopted if and only if they receive the required number of favorable votes." As Looney has pointed out no rule specifies the number of favorable votes required to adopt a proposal seeking to transmute a mutable rule into an immutable rule. Therefore, it cannot be determined with finality whether the transmutation proposals Proposal 373 and Proposal 367 were adopted and this constitutes a paradox. >- To: RFJ [Title] I can't believe we missed this...

[Decision] True [Judge] Metaloop [Reasoning] In fact, the original ruling is completely correct, so I'm not changing the decision. However, I'm taking the opportunity to point out another loophole. Suppose my paradox RFJ was in fact a frivolous one, but it got ruled TRUE by an incompetent judge. Then the other players would have one turn to appeal before the round ended, and presumably enough of them would vote in favor of the appeal referendum for it to pass. However, I could use the Ring of Pages to swap the powers of the Ring of Songs and Ring of Death, and then use the Ring of Songs to kill the appeal referendum, ensuring the end of the round and my ill-gotten victory. This is why I voted against the Ring of Death when it was proposed. Allowing one player to kill an arbitrary proposal or referendum is too prone to abuse, and I hope such a rule is not adopted in any future round. ****************************************************************** 7033.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and JediSquid sitting on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to Looney sitting thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and Jef sitting on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and Metaloop who sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 9. Thus did I watch the four Riders of the Apocalypse set forth. They rode off across the barren wasteland and vanished at the horizon under the light of the blood-red moon. 10. I longed to vanish from this plane of existence as well, but some instinct cautioned me to wait. 11. So I waited, and after several hours, the four Riders came galloping back, murderous looks upon their faces. 12. And Looney pulled up his horse, drew his flaming sword, and commanded me to explain why they had been called to a plane that lay already in waste. 13. Fearfully, I told him that he had already destroyed this world two weeks ago. 14. But Jef looked doubtful. 15. Said he, "<a href="/rule/349">Rule 349</a> clearly dictates that this is the appointed hour of our riding." 16. I reminded him, "That rule is no longer in effect because we are in Convention." 17. Metaloop wisely counseled, "Does it matter that the world has been destroyed without our help? Let's just wrap up this loose end and depart." 18. And Metaloop took out his scythe and slew me with it. 19. Just before the Riders departed this plane, JediSquid turned to the others and complained: 19. "Why wasn't I given anything to do in this story? I'm senior to all of you by 5 turns!" 20. But they all vanished before anyone could respond.http://nomicron.org/feeditem.cron?feed_item_id=62562009-05-02T05:04:11.000-00:06RFJ Case 6013.2Metaloop has rendered a ruling of True on Case 6013.2Metaloop has rendered a ruling of True on Case 6013.2 -------------- RFJ [Title] I can't believe we missed this...

When a rule-change proposal passes, its Proposoul goes to Heaven. When it fails with at least twice as many votes against it as for it, its Proposoul goes to Hell. When it just fails, its Proposoul goes to Purgatory. A Proposoul never forgets. Specifically, it will always remember its Author and Sponsor.

[Author] Truthflux [Type] Regular [Credit] [Credit] [VRP] >-Repeal the following rule: Mutable [Title] The Afterlife [Text] Heaven and Hell are real, and Purgatory is what lies between them. Unfortunately, only rule-change proposals go there =( A rule-change proposal sheds its mortal coil(its text, name, number, etc.) with only its soul(henceforth called the Proposoul) remaining when it enters the Afterlife. Afterlife is, in case you couldn't tell, the collective term for Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and other places which may exist at some point in the future. When a rule-change proposal passes, its Proposoul goes to Heaven. When it fails with at least twice as many votes against it as for it, its Proposoul goes to Hell. When it just fails, its Proposoul goes to Purgatory. A Proposoul never forgets. Specifically, it will always remember its Author and Sponsor. If the Proposoul had a Sponsor, then the Sponsor is its Master. Otherwise, the Author is the Proposoul's Master. Even if a Master becomes an observer, his Proposouls still love him and couldn't care less about their AWOL Master. ------------------------- 373.

Whenever the Administrator cannot determine with certainty whether he should appoint a judge, then he must appoint one. Judges acquire the power to perform their official duties at the moment they become appointed. Judges may exercise their official powers and perform their official duties regardless of any dispute as to the permissibility of a request for judgment, the legality of an appointment made by the Administrator, or the authority of any judge. This rule shall not be interpreted to increase or broaden the powers or duties of judges in any way not explicitly described herein. If a Judge's ruling would result in the end of the current round, the end of the round is delayed until all active players have had a reasonable opportunity to appeal the ruling. Regardless of any other circumstances, a Judge's ruling is always subject to appeal, even if the ruling says otherwise, as long as the current round is in session. ------------------------- 374.

Allowable bases are those able to be submitted by a player at any point in the current turn so far, whose sole direct effect would be to amend a mutable rule or page. A fast-track proposal is identical to its base in all regards except as specifically mentioned in this rule. A player may submit 4 or less fast-track proposals/referendums total each turn in addition to any proposals/referendums allowed by other rules.
