The orders issued by Swann in the message to the PF entitled "Here

Michael, Morendil, Murphy, Oerjan, Steve

Selection of 2nd Judge
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eligible: Antimatter, elJefe, Harlequin, Kolja A., Michael,
Morendil, Oerjan, Steve
Not eligible:
Caller: Swann
Barred: General Chaos
Disqualified: Crito, Chuck, Blob (all by choice), Murphy
On hold: -
======================================================================
History:
Called by Swann, Thu, 21 May 1998 09:26:31 -0400
Assigned to Murphy, Fri, 22 May 1998 09:16:58 +0100
Murphy defaults
Assigned to elJefe, Wed, 3 Jun 1998 12:30:06 +0100
Judged FALSE, Tue, 9 Jun 1998 21:54:00 +0000
Published, Mon, 15 Jun 1998 09:35:06 +0100
======================================================================
Judgement: FALSE
Reasons and arguments:
Obviously there is a huge loophole in the Order rules, which allows
any player to issue these kinds of orders. I see Swann's points and
am in some sympathy with them, but the specific question of the CFJ
concerns the series of orders in "Here we go...". Some of these order
individual players to refrain from granting or making certain judicial
motions or making orders or appealing other orders, and others order
individual players to refrain from appealing the ones just mentioned.
These are not Orders to Compel directed to a Judge (Rule 1830), but
are merely restraining in character. The Caller argues that none of
the orders individually hinder their own appeal, even though they do
collectively seek to prevent their own appeal.
A question: if order X seeks to prevent the appeal of order Y, and
order Y seeks to prevent the appeal of order X, then in that context,
is Y acting to hinder its own appeal? I would have to say yes,
indirectly.
If order X seeks to prevent the appeal of all other orders, and a
later order Y seeks to prevent the appeal of order X, then in that
context, is Y acting to hinder its own appeal? Again I would say yes,
indirectly. And Rule 1796 contains the phrase "in any way", which is
strong enough to contain direct and indirect actions.
I therefore rule that at least the even numbered Orders (of the form
"Order 2n+2: player #n is ordered to refrain from appealing Order
2n+1") are barred by Rule 1796. This is enough to determine a
judgement of FALSE.
I do not go so far as to infer the invalidating of the odd-numbered
Orders, though I admit there is a talking point there as well. A
definitive judgement on that question would be thorny and unnecessary
to the present CFJ, and thus I leave it to another Judge.
======================================================================
(Caller's) Arguments:
For the basic valitity of a private transfer order I refer the Judge
to the Reasons and Arguments of the first Coup d'etat CFJ. (qv)
For the validity of the current statement, there are only two rules
that would impose additional restrictions on these Orders. These are
Rules 1796 and 1830.
The apparently strong Rule 1830;
> No valid Order to Compel may be directed to a Judge, or may
> require the performance of any duty required of Player by the
> virtue of that Player being a Judge. Any such Order is
> invalid. Any CFJ alleging that a Judge has failed to perform
> a duty of a judicial nature shall be dismissed.
There are a number of flaws here. One, it is arguable that one can
compel Judical actions as long as the Player comelled is not a Judge
at the time, which none of the Players in the Orders in question were.
Two, the rule makes no refernce to Orders that phrohibit action
(ie. An order not to Judge FALSE) which is the form in which the
Orders in question were cast. Three, the most devistating flaw, this
rule refers *only* to Orders to Compel-- a specific type of Order
defined in Rule 1509;
> Upon a judicial finding that a Player has failed to perform a
> duty required of em by the Rules, the Judge so finding shall
> execute an Order, requiring that Player to perform that duty
> as soon as possible. Such an Order is known as an Order to
> Compel.
>
It is unquestionably true that the Orders in question were *not*
Orders to Compel as defined in the rules, and therefore 1830 does not
apply at all.
The other rule that applies is Rule 1796;
> Furthermore, no Order may act to prevent or hinder its own
> appeal in any way, and any portion of an Order which has this
> effect is void and without force.
This is much simpler. None of the Orders in question hinder their
*own* appeal, they only hinder the appeal of other Orders, which is
not forbidden.
Given these facts, I believe that the Judge has no question but to
rule these Orders valid.
======================================================================
Evidence:
Rule 1796/0 (Power=1)
Validity of Orders
All Orders executed in the manner prescribed by the Rules for
their class and type are presumed valid and enforceable until
proven otherwise by CFJ.
In order to be proven valid by CFJ, the Rules must permit the
Player who executed the Order in question to execute such an
Order, that the execution of the Order must have been required
by or permitted in the circumstances which existed at the time
it was executed, and that the Order has not been rendered
invalid by the operation of any other Rule.
Furthermore, no Order may act to prevent or hinder its own
appeal in any way, and any portion of an Order which has this
effect is void and without force.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 1509/3 (Power=1)
Orders to Compel
Upon a judicial finding that a Player has failed to perform a
duty required of em by the Rules, the Judge so finding shall
execute an Order, requiring that Player to perform that duty as
soon as possible. Such an Order is known as an Order to
Compel.
If the duty in question arises because the Player in question
holds a specific Office or other position of official
responsibility, the Order shall be directed to that Office or
position. If the Player holding that Office fails to perform
the duty in question as ordered, the Judge shall Order that that
Player be removed from Office or position.
If the duty in question arises for a reason not related to the
Player in question holding a specific Office or official
position, and that Player fails to perform the duty as ordered,
the Judge shall amend the Order to require the Speaker to
perform that duty instead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 1830/0 (Power=1)
No Compulsion of Judges
No valid Order to Compel may be directed to a Judge, or may
require the performance of any duty required of Player by the
virtue of that Player being a Judge. Any such Order is invalid.
Any CFJ alleging that a Judge has failed to perform a duty of a
judicial nature shall be dismissed.
