Call for Judgement: Infinity Scam

Researching a way to bar Simon’s Request to become PM, I’ve found a serious infinite Confidence/EV loop-hole in our current RuleSet:

Figure this scenario:

- I veto/self-kill all currently pending Proposals and Admin then.

We then start the loop:
- Orson, who has 0 confidence, posts a Proposal
- I veto/Admin it. He loses 3 confidence, cap to zero. I gain 2.
- We repeat those steps until I have 100 confidence. I spend the 100 conf to gain an EV.
- I we three (Orson, I and Knightking) have the same number of EV, then I use the new Prosperity Protocol to give that EV to Knigthking.
- If not, If I have more EV’s than Orson, I give it to him.
- If not, I keep the EV and start the process again.
- I someone posts a Proposal in the meanwhile, I Veto/Admin it also.
- When I find we have enough EV's, I keep the loop until I have 200 confidence, give it all to Knightking, keep it a little more, and end with another 200. Then we give some to Orson and we all end with 133/134 conf.

If this CfJ passes, the entire Protocols rule shall be repealed, as it’s the main engine of this loop-hole.

Timed out; 0-4. Failed 11/22 by Orson.
