Call for Judgement

Crewmember Chronos and Crewmember Smith are arguing in the GNDT over some moves done by Crewmember Chronos.

Rule 16 - Machinery reads:

each piece of Machinery may be found in one or more Locations around the ship, as specified.

The Teleport Console description reads:

Teleport Console [Teleport Chamber, Crew Dorms] - Anyone who is Pulling its Levers may ignore deck restrictions when moving themselves. Anyone who is Pushing its Buttons may choose a Location and move all Crew from that Location to the Teleport Chamber, no more than once per day.

Two possible conclusions arise from those languages:

1 – There are two Teleport Console, each one located in one location. (Position defended by Crewmember Chronos)

2 – There is only one Teleport Console, located simultaneously in both locations. (Position defended by Crewmember Smith)

Conclusion 1 implies a Crewmember may use the Console in the Teleport Chamber, move to the Dorms and use the Console there, all in the same day, without infringing the “no more than once a day” clause.

Conclusion 2 implies a Crewmember may not do so.

Vote FOR this CfJ if you agree with either Conclusion 1 or Conclusion 2. Vote against it if you feel these Rules need not be amended.

If this CfJ passes, and most of the FOR votes comments says “Conclusion 1” change the Teleport Console description to:

Teleport Console [Teleport Chamber, Crew Dorms] - Anyone who is Pulling its Levers in a Teleporte Console may ignore deck restrictions when moving themselves. Anyone who is Pushing a Teleport Console’s Buttons may choose a Location and move all Crew from that Location to the Teleport Chamber, no more than once per day per Console.

If this CfJ passes, and most of the FOR votes comments says “Conclusion 2” change the Teleport Console description to:

Teleport Console [Teleport Chamber, Crew Dorms] - Anyone who is Pulling its Levers in the Teleporte Console may ignore deck restrictions when moving themselves. Anyone who is Pushing the Teleport Console’s Buttons may choose a Location and move all Crew from that Location to the Teleport Chamber, no more than once per day.

and rewrite the portion of Rule 16 mentioned above to:

each piece of Machinery may be found in one or more Locations around the ship, as specified. Even if listed in more than one Location, the Machinery is still considered to be only one, for effects of use limitations.

I could not conceive another way to carry a 3-way CfJ...

18-0. Reached Quorum, with a majority vote to Conclusion 2. Enacted by Chronos at 04/17/2005 GMT 13:43
