And so technically, by R1437, e still has a non-zero stain. Hmm,
I guess the common definition of "stain" doesn't imply cardinality,
either.

That's certainly a reasonable argument, but it's not what created
the paradox.  The paradox arose because Murphy assigned the CFJ
to me before posting the Writ (so while I was still a unarguably a
player), then assigned the CFJ to Sherlock after the Writ (when 
your argument may have held) and we (the judges) conspired to write
our judgments so they deferred to each other, thereby invalidating
themselves as judgments (circularly).  That works regardless of the
validity of the original argument (we did try to come up with
reasonable arguments working on both sides, even though these
may be unappealable).

Yes, the posting of the Writ of FAGE by the player should 
automatically do the deregistering.  I've wondered about where all
that "inform the Herald" language came from.  Funny thing is we
ignored the language and treated it in a Platonist style for blots.
Drove me crazy.

Something along the lines of this outline?

         i. Every person has the right to CFJ

        ii. Every player has the right to Judge, unless explicitly
            disqualified by a rule

       iii. Every player has the right not to be punished worse than
            a formal apology, unless evidence beyond reasonable doubt

        iv. Every player has the right to file motions

         v. Every set of 2+ players has the right to submit a
            concurring or dissenting opinion

In a Platonist system this wouldn't be a problem.  In the Platonist model,
Judgements don't actually change the state of anything, they're just meant
to point out what the state actually is.  A contradiction of Judgements
isn't a problem then: one of the purported Judgements is wrong and the
other right, neither changes anything, and the game goes merrily on.

Judges have power to affect things only in a Pragmatic system, which is
what lands you in this mess.  Now you have two Judgements claiming to
actually change the game state, and you can't tell which one does.

Ooh, yes please.  Looks like the judicial system makes up a good half or
so of the current ruleset.  I came to the tentative conclusion that you'd
decided to centre the whole game on legal process for the time being.

What started the Great Repeals anyway?  They've been monstrously more
successful than any of the Chromatic Repeals ever were.

Let's repeal the whole legal system and replace it with "Do what thou
wilt shall be the whole of the Law" and see this Nomic go places.

But what about the utility of calling a CFJ with only one eligible
judge (of the caller's choosing)?  I agree, nice one, Zefram!

Heh.  What I like is that there's a procedure to unlink the CFJs,
which would resolve the problem, but you can't do it until a Judge has
been assigned.

YAFI, YGI.

Proto-Proposal:  Pre-emptive Unlinking

Amend Rule 2024 (Linked Statements) by appending, after this text:

       Linked CFJs are multiple Calls for Judgement that are submitted
       in a single message and clearly labelled as Linked CFJs.

this text:

       The Clerk of the Courts may, without objection, unlink one or
       more of the linked CFJs from the others by announcement.  If e
       unlinks more than one as a set, then those CFJs remain linked
       to each other.

There are interacting time limits here.  Taking an action Without
Objection takes at least four days, and the Judge has to be assigned
within a week.  What if the CotC is away for three days?

"Without Objection" and "Linked CFJs" should be capitalised.

If the restriction on Barring passes -- it's the obvious fix -- then
there's no need for preemptive unlinking.  Unlinking is a matter to be
decided on the content of the CFJs, so I think that's better left to a
Judge rather than the CotC.

In theory, the CotC may be prosecuted for violating ASAP.  In practice,
no one bothers to prosecute much of anything these days, but of course
it only takes one vigilant player to change that.
