If this doesn't work, I intend, with two support, to initiate the same criminal case; act on behalf of Sgeo, ehird, and comex to support it; and initiate it. Further arguments: A codenomic intends to mislead when it does something misleading but nobody does anything about it. ======================================================================== Caller's Evidence: On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 11:38 PM, The PerlNomic Partnership wrote: > This message serves to announce and make effective changes to > the list of parties to the PerlNomic Partnership (a public contract). > > The current list of parties is: ... > ihope ihope127@gmail.com ======================================================================== Gratuitous Arguments by woggle: I believe Warrigal is the Executor of the quoted message from the PNP (based on http://nomic.info/perlnomic/log.txt ). ======================================================================== Gratuitous Arguments by Murphy: Relevant line of the log cited by woggle: Tue Dec 9 20:38:54 2008 - update_agora.cgi: ihope sent a message with subject 'PNP Parties Change' to Agora. ======================================================================== Gratuitous Arguments by Murphy: The PerlNomic Partnership contract includes this clause: {{{ 5. The PerlNomic Partnership shall act by using the mechanisms of the PerlNomic game to send messages to the appropriate Agoran fora. This is the only mechanism by which the PerlNomic Partnership may act. }}} which is effective whether or not Warrigal is considered to have agreed to the contract. (Interpreting otherwise would cause all messages triggered by GoogleBot to be ineffective, which would be against the best interests of Agora, PerlNomic, and the PNP.) However, if Warrigal triggered the message in question with full knowledge of what it would contain, and without making an attempt to change it first, then that would be a strong argument in favor of sufficiently "explicit, willful consent" (or at least a sentence of DISMISS). ======================================================================== Judge OscarMeyr's Arguments: The PNP log shows: 1. The Caller emself caused the PNP to send the message in question. 2. At the time of the message in question, a proposal in PNP was being prepared to remove the Caller from the PNP. I find it difficult to conclude that a non-member of the PNP would be able to trigger such functionality of the PNP with intent to decieve Agora about that person's membership in the PNP. Without strong evidence to the contrary, I conclude that the Caller was acting as if e was a party to the PNP at the time in question. The effort to remove em from the Partnership shows that the other parties were also acting as if the Caller was a party. I conclude that the PNP did not act with intent to mislead Agora (guilt statement a), and so I rule NOT GUILTY. ======================================================================== Judge OscarMeyr's Evidence: The relevant portion of the PerlNomic log.
