Supreme Nomic Archives / Re: Hearing: Illegal Decision by iqforu

Yes, but S6.1.b states that a rule break is "performing an action that is impossible, in accordance with the ruleset."

Considering the Supreme Nomic ruleset does not say that the Chairman may have any Executive Orders, that makes it impossible.

The rule set states that you may or may not acknowledge a passed rule bu does not state that a player may have a stated Executive Order.

Also, it is not in the Chairman's powers to interpret the rules. That is the job of the ViceChairman-- a power not only held in interpretation of the ruleset(s) as by S3.b.i and ii but also but the inferred powers in S6, if a move is legal or not.

This would make the Executive Order that you made in "Executive Action 1001: Denial of Passing of Proposal." This is not within your power to do and therefore makes the move illegal by interpretation of the ViceChairman.

This makes you wrong on two counts: one, breaking a rule as based in S6.1.b and two, taking powers that are not rightfully of the Chairman.

They CAN post, correct? I didn't look at the rule. If they post, that would bring them back onto the active list. Nonetheless, we can clear this up if need be.

I firmly believe that I have acted in the best interests of our nomic in both of these Executive Actions.

Executive Actions are really nothing punishable; I have not broken any rules.  I have done nothing not explicitly illegal as stated by the ruleset.

I have only presented my interpretation of S4.4.a.  The Chairman does not have to acknowledge new rules.  Also, if the Chairman does not update the ruleset, it does not become rule.

There is no solid charge you can make on me.

How would a player become active again? Note part B that says they cannot participate is discussions and voting.

Supreme Nomic Archives / Hearing: Illegal Decision by iqforu
« Last post by JamesSupreme on January 27, 2011, 01:06:53 pm »
This hearing is hereby in session.

The ViceChairman sees that iqforu, our Chairman has made an illegal move by allowing an Executive Order.

This is not listed as a power in the Supreme Nomic Rule Set and there fore should be deemed illegal and consequential action must take place.

How do you, iqforu, plead?

Supreme Nomic Archives / Executive Action 1002: Denial of Passing of Proposal

The following was proposed:

Quote
To add between 4 and 4a (which will not be 5a)

"5. After all Supreme Nomic players have voted on a proposal, a poll will be brought up to allow all lower players to vote on the Supreme Legislation. If there are no lower players, skip this step and immediately move to 5a."

Foreseeing a potential problem, requiring all members of all sub-nomics to vote (some of which have not visited the forum in over two months); I hereby declare this rule not passed.  The proposal is closed.  It may be re-proposed.  This action may be challenged by a judicial hearing.
