I request a Judgement on whether Proposal 357 should have failed.  According to Rule [[326]], section 2, a proposal in those set of circumstances is 'dismissed', and it is not clear whether this is the same as failing for the purposes of scoring.  Should [[User:Applejuicefool|Applejuicefool]] have lost 10 points?  --[[User:Finisterre|Finisterre]] 06:05, 5 January 2007 (EST)

I would like to request a Judgement regarding rule [[317]].  I beleive that play is impossible from this point forward.  Dayd has the most points and should be declared winner.  The following rules per [[356]](as pointed out by Mike Rosoft in his vote) must be repealed.  "Any current mutable rule that repealed another rule is hereby repealed."

[[308]] [[311]] [[317]] [[326]] [[334]] [[336]] [[349]].  These are all amendments that caused the repeal of another rule...thusly they must be repealed as well.  These are fairly essential rules and the loss of them would, I believe, make the game unplayable.  If so, congrats Dayd. --[[User:Tucana25|Tucana25]] 14:13, 21 December 2006 (EST)

I request a Judgment concerning proposal [[337]]. It is not proposed in the proper way per [[326]], no date and time is given for the end of debate, but rather the phrase "later date and time." I do not feel that this meets the intent of the rule.  --[[User:TomFoolery|TomFoolery]] 20:01, 1 December 2006 (EST)

I request a Judgement to determine what timezone shall determine the 'first day of the month'.  The election could be considered over if we go by official system time and not EST, as proposal [[342]] would state.  I also posted this on the discussion page of actual December vote. --[[User:Tucana25|Tucana25]] 20:12, 1 December 2006 (EST)

I request a Judgement on Rule 302. Rule [[302]] states: "Players are limited to one Nomicapolis account in play".  Can you define 'in play'.  If a player can legally remove themselves from the census and then rejoin "as a brand new player", it would seem to suggest 'in play' could be understood 'in use'.  If this is not the opinion of the judge, this rule would seem to contradict itself. --[[User:Tucana25|Tucana25]] 20:15, 2 December 2006 (EST)

::Hmm...not sure. I guess that would work...if a player doesn't have access to an account, he can't really be penalized for "having" it, right? Go ahead and block access to all accounts that are not listed on the Census as either an active or inactive player. On second thought - if there are any accounts that have registered in the past two or three days, leave them alone.  Those could be potential players just trying to get a grip on the rules before diving in. Also, if it's not too much trouble, send an email to the accounts that you block explaining the situation to them and tell them that they need to create a new account and add their name to the Census to play.

::: Alright, I will block access to all users who are not listed on the [[Census]] page as either active or inactive, excluding those that registered within the last week or so, I will not be able to send emails to them but I can put text on their user page to the effect described above. However, I would like to request that all [[Nomicapolis:Administrators|Administrators]] retain unblocked status as they have responsibilities to the wiki itself. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 16:05, 3 December 2006 (EST)

Request for clarification of '''AJF009''': Research in to the history of [[Census]] and [[Special:Listusers|Listusers]] poses some questions that might be relevent to this judgment. The following users are not listed in the census currently:
+
-
* '''[[User:Admin|Admin]]''' - was listed as a player and removed before the the inception of [[302]]. Admin is currently the non-playing account of [[User:Simulacrum|Simulacrum]]. 
+
-
* [[User:Augast15|Augast15]]
+
-
* [[User:Justicebork|Justicebork]]
+
-
* [[User:Lars Atomica|Lars Atomica]]
+
-
* [[User:Qurantz|Qurantz]]
+
-
* '''[[User:RobKohr|RobKohr]]''' - the owner of the domain that Nomicapolis operates on. No edits.
+
-
* [[User:Tom Foolery|Tom Foolery]] - addressed by AJF009
+
-
 
+
-
The following users are listed in the census page but do not have user accounts:
+
-
; painintheear
+
-
; adoarns
+
-
 
+
-
The second list is pretty straight-forward. The players added themselves without first registering. A violation of rule [[302]]. and therefore therefore the names should be excised.
+
-
The names within first list, per ruling, should be blocked but that would revoke the editing priviledges of both [[User:Admin|Admin]] as well as [[User:RobKohr|RobKohr]]. I would greatly prefer that RobKohr retain editing privileges as this user is the owner and is ultimately responsible for the content within this wiki.

I request judgement on whether BobTHJ properly closed the voting of [[378]].  [[109]] states that the vote needed to be "unanimous among the eligible voters". I believe that several voters were Active at the beginning of the voting period who did not vote, so the vote cannot have passed. I'm uncertain, under [[372]], whether the vote should have been held open for 14 days or if it can be closed as failing once Quorum has been met and 48 hours have passed since the last vote, but I don't believe Quorum has been met in any case, and if it has I believe the result should be Failed.

User Admin exists to ensure that the wiki does what it is supposed to. Admin will not intentionally participate in the game except to provide evidence and ensure that any actions ordered or requested to be carried out. If maintaining of both user accounts [[User:Admin|Admin]] as well as [[User:Simulacrum|Simulacrum]] is against the rules and an option is given to either resign from the game or maintaining an admin presence then I will, without hestitaion, confine my activities to the administration of the wiki. --[[User:Simulacrum|Simulacrum]] 14:36, 4 December 2006 (EST)

:Well, it wasn't really a "ruling"; more like a response to your question about my request.  I would say leave Admin and RobKohr as they are.  Block the other non-player accounts (There's really no way to actually unregister them?).

I request a Judgement on whether Proposal 357 should have failed. According to Rule 326, section 2, a proposal in those set of circumstances is 'dismissed', and it is not clear whether this is the same as failing for the purposes of scoring. Should Applejuicefool have lost 10 points? --Finisterre 06:05, 5 January 2007 (EST)

378 vote

I request judgement on whether BobTHJ properly closed the voting of 378. 109 states that the vote needed to be "unanimous among the eligible voters". I believe that several voters were Active at the beginning of the voting period who did not vote, so the vote cannot have passed. I'm uncertain, under 372, whether the vote should have been held open for 14 days or if it can be closed as failing once Quorum has been met and 48 hours have passed since the last vote, but I don't believe Quorum has been met in any case, and if it has I believe the result should be Failed. Wooble 20:21, 23 April 2007 (EDT)

Quorum

Chuck has become active since the recent proposals 393, 394, 395 were opened for voting. While rule 362 says he is not an eligible voter, it is ambiguous if Chuck becoming an active player increases quorum from 2 votes to 3 per rule 371. I request judgment on the current value of Quorum.
