Call for Judgment: False Unemployment

Any CfJ that has no effect on the ruleset or gamestate may be automatically failed by any admin. ~~Chronos Phaenon

Some players are currently trying to exploit a non-existant loophole, by falsely reducing their SPs from 1 to 1 and turning back into being a Free Agent.

To avoid that, change the text:

Any Employed player may, at any time, change their Employment to Free Agent by reducing their SP by 1, to a minimum of 1, increasing the SP of the player listed under their Employment by 1 and then changing their Employment to Free Agent.

into

Any Employed Player whose SP is greater than 1 may, at any time, change their Employment to Free Agent by reducing their SP by 1, increasing the SP of the player listed under their Employment by 1 and then changing their own Employment to Free Agent.

Reverse any actions done under the presumption that there is a loophole allowing players to falsely reduce their SPs from 1 to 1 and turn back into being a Free Agent.

against because I think it is a valid loophole and actions done under it should not be reversed.

for If your SP is 1, and you reduce it by 1, it’s 0, it’s not 1, so you can’t reduce your SP by 1 to a minimum of 1.  It’s not a loophole.

(If it was 2, and you reduce it by 2 to a minimum of 1, you set it to 1, even though 2 - 2 = 0.  Same for reducing 1 by 1.)

Comex, in that case, you’d have reduced it by 1, not by 2, and would have still failed to reduce it by 2.

Chronos, if that’s true, such an action could not be taken at all; but I remember more than one instance of “reduce by X to a minimum of Y” in BN history, such as the no-proposal penalization clause from the last Dynasty.

Comes: Exactly, if the action requires you to reduce by X to a minimum of Y, and X is less than or equal to Y, you cannot take that action.
