Call for Judgment: Illegal administration

Passed 6-0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 17 Jul 2006 05:09:34 UTC

The proposal ‘A Slow Drip’ has been illegally failed. The proposal appears to have one vote in favor and two against, but since the proposal is Local, Rule 2.8, ‘Arrow of Time’ complicates the issue somewhat. Rule 2.8 governs which Travelers may legally vote on Local Proposals.

Both Kevan and Bucky were out of Range when they voted, which should nullify those votes cast, as by 2.8,

No non-Arbiter Traveller may vote on a Local Proposal that is not in eir Range.

Additionally, Rule 2.8 specifies that:

When a Traveller votes on a Local Proposal, e must include eir current TL in the comment containing their vote for their vote to be counted.

Since both votes against do not include the Traveler’s TL, they cannot be counted as per this rule. Therefore in either case the proposal should have been enacted, one vote to none.

If this Call for Judgment passes, the status of ‘A Slow Drip’ shall be changed to ‘Passed’, and the proposal shall then be legally enacted as it should have been.

for Although I don’t think Chronos would dispute it.

I was tempted just to change things by hand, but I wasn’t sure where the precedent lies. I had done a similar thing during the last dynasty (reversing an illegally failed proposal), which caused a CfJ that narrowly failed. Sorry if this is overly formal.

Err, did I mean that it was illegally passed? I think it was. Also I seem to recall that CfJ was part of a scam by a (recently idled) player.

Hmm.

Oh, and as a minor side note, Bucky didn’t even attempt to vote, he was suggesting you vote against your proposal and happened to hit the against button in doing so.
