Call for Judgment: Flip-Flop Points

Unpopular, zero votes to 5. Josh

Adminned at 22 Jul 2025 16:33:48 UTC

Uphold the Resolving of the following Backronyms as having been completed properly, and amend the “Post a comment to that Backronym containing all of the following:” step of the Resolving of each of those Backronyms as follows:

 

It was pointed out in Discord that I mistakenly interpreted the phrase “any later steps in this action that would award Points to any Wordsmith are skipped” to also include the Points awarded for the median Score. There were only two Flops so far, and I have corrected the incorrect gamestate, so this is to uphold the Resolving of the two mistaken Flop Backronyms and amend the text posted to them as part of their Resolving. There was also one inconsistent Buzzword letter match that needed to be corrected.

Sadly you can’t edit a comment so this can’t be enacted as written.

True. I need suggestions for how to correct that part of the gamestate then. Or, should the “uphold” be sufficient?

Uphold the resolve, adding a point back?

I think the emergency basement locker of “The historical fact of the occurrence of a defined game action is itself considered to be gamestate. Unless the rule defining the action specifies otherwise, this occurrence is tracked in the history of whatever resource is used to track the gamestate modified by that action, where possible, or in the wiki page Gamestate Modifications if this is not possible.” may creak open here, if an admin is told to edit a comment but can’t.

Agreed. I’ve posted a new CfJ without the comment editing part. If folks feel like the “comment record” still needs to be corrected, I have some time to add those to Gamestate Modifications.

against in favour of the other CfJ, I don’t see any point in updating the comment record.
