Call for Judgment: What happens when the Poindexter makes a mistake?

Reached quorum, 4-0. Josh

Adminned at 02 Jan 2021 15:30:59 UTC

In the schedule post for 29 December pokes made two fire attempts: one for the 30th and one for the 31st. The one for the 30th was processed correctly, but the one for the 31st was not acknowledged in the schedule posts for either the 31st or the 1st.

The ruleset states that “once [an action] has been scheduled it will occur at the specified time”, and as such we can assume that my failure to reflect this in the schedule post is a clerical error that doesn’t affect the action itself. However, gamestate tracking can’t be updated until timed actions have been confirmed in a scheduling post, and in this case, some subsequent actions were undertaken by other pilots that were adversely affected by the outcome of the resolution of pokes’ legal action.

The remedy in this case is as follows: uphold the Poindexter’s first comment in response to the schedule post of the 1st as being a legal confirmation of the reolution of Pilot pokes’ attack on Bogey VENUSAUR. If Pilot Coderblaze is still in the same shell they were in at the time of their first comment in the same thread, refund them the cost incurred for the posting of their two fire attempts of that same comment. Additionally, if Call for Judgement: Stuck recovering has not been enacted, refund pilot Bucky the cost of their 01/01/2021 attack. Uphold any updates to gamestate tracking that accurately reflect the legal state of the gamestate as a result of the resolutions of this CfJ.

Additionally: apologies for the mess-up, I’ll try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Shouldn’t I also get a refund for my attack on VENUSAUR, assuming I’m not Stuck Recovering?
