Call for Judgment: Disturbance in the Time-Space Continuum

Reached quorum, 4-1. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Uphold the dynastic actions taken by SingularByte between 14:41 and 14:55 on 5 August 2024, and any actions performed by the Elder Judge in reaction to those specific actions.

SingularByte performed some dynastic actions that caused revealing of random bits of knowledge, but he did it after the Next Disturbance time without performing the Sight Disturbances atomic action first. This would normally be illegal, and would require him to perform Sight Disturbances and re-do the dynastic actions after, but because he gained knowledge that was determined randomly and can’t now be unlearned, it’s not so easy to re-do everything. The easiest way forward is just to uphold his actions this time. Had he properly done the Sight Disturbances first, the outcome would not have changed.

I agree with treating the actions as if the Sight Disturbances was already performed. As I mention on the Short Range Obelisks proposal, I don’t necessarily agree with the scam itself so I’m not sure about upholding the actions (though as you say we can’t really undo them).

If you wanted a cfj to counteract my scam (in case people don’t end up agreeing that it worked the way I said it did), one viable way to fix it might be to have everyone given the same info?

for Since the scam was plausible enough and would be a mess to undo.

I worry about the precedent this sets against
