Turn 002 — GM Decision Docket

Status: Adjudication approved; results delivered and verified

Compression summary

  • Routine provenance: Four valid intake records; no misses, late packages, supporting files, or classification rulings; early lock authorized by the GM.
  • Grouped reversible findings: Intake metrics, scoring calculations, lack of direct player collision, and late information-carrier timing.
  • Decisions presented: 4 / ordinary target 3–5.
  • Eliminations requiring specific confirmation: None.
  • Rule/victory candidates: No activation. The two-turn witnessed-authority pattern remains GM-only attractor evidence for the post-Turn-003 review.
  • Delivery authority: Granted under T002-A02; all four deliveries verified.

Decisions

T002-D01 — Ridgeford opens a limited stock route, establishes responsibility, and compacts with Northbarrow

  • Type: Grouped reversible; external AI-community agreement
  • Affected: player1; Dorr, Sila, Mara, Evin, Pell, Orra; Oren and Northbarrow
  • Established facts: Strong runoff; cattle remain barred from the western core; fodder is short; a possible alternate route is marked; Dorr ordered winter toe-stone removal; Northbarrow offered bounded labor for witnessed terms.
  • Autonomous actions: Sila refuses unsafe water and moves the leanest stock first; Evin preserves river veto; Dorr produces the rebuild case and defends the winter order as emergency necessity; Oren demands certified access and no surprise toll.
  • Recommendation: A higher narrow branch becomes a limited prepared stock route and small supervised groups reach grazing. The western core remains cattle-closed. Oren accepts a witnessed seasonal labor-and-certified-passage compact; outside preparation may begin but deep foundation work does not. Winter testimony establishes Dorr’s authorization and mixed causal responsibility; future restitution replaces immediate punishment or office loss. Oren conveys only an unnamed pottery-settlement rumor.
  • Leadership effect and limit: 0.908 Strong influence improves route preparation, testimony, compact precision, and institutional durability. It cannot open Ford Meadow broadly, certify the western core, compel Oren, or turn rumor into player knowledge.
  • Credible alternatives: Route remains inspection-only and fodder triage deepens; Oren refuses Ridgeford control; Dorr’s authorization remains strongly inferred but not admitted.
  • Downstream: Route maintenance, crossing certification, restitution, Northbarrow work, and Turn 003 meadow/downstream carriers.
  • Privacy: Reveal only Ridgeford-local facts and the explicitly tentative unnamed rumor.
  • Elimination confirmation: No
  • GM ruling: Approved as recommended under T002-A01

T002-D02 — Hazelstead plants from evidence, places the grove in temporary custody, and meets Juniper Fold

  • Type: Grouped reversible; external AI-community contact and player-clan name carrier
  • Affected: player2; Nessa, Ilya, Beren, Tamm, Corren, Lio, garden/cutter households; Ava and Juniper Fold
  • Established facts: Sound seed is reduced; the mixed lot is uncertain; Lio cannot hunt in Y01-M02; Beren ordered marks inside protected custom; Ava knows Hazelstead and the ford settlement east of the wood.
  • Autonomous actions: Nessa protects the reserve; Beren preserves cutter standing and eventually acknowledges his proposed line; Ilya seeks witnessed custody; Tamm protects springs and Lio; Ava requests a path-and-tree walk.
  • Recommendation: Most sound seed is planted and a reserve remains; the mixed patch emerges weakly. Lio heals and shares route knowledge while reduced hunting continues. Witnesses establish Beren’s marking instruction but no cutting; a temporary no-cut boundary and mixed custody preserve bounded cutter work. Ava receives the gated visit, returns honey, requests a later walk, and identifies Ridgeford only as the eastern stone-ford settlement.
  • Leadership effect and limit: 0.908 Strong influence improves planting separation, legitimacy, candor, and contact clarity. It cannot mature a crop, recover lost seed, settle permanent clearing custom, or reveal Ridgeford’s private condition.
  • Credible alternatives: Rain reduces planting; Beren refuses admission but the no-cut standstill holds; the Juniper visit aborts.
  • Downstream: Emergence monitoring, permanent grove/path ruling, Lio’s later recovery, and optional Ridgeford carrier.
  • Privacy: Ridgeford’s name/general description only; no Ridgeford condition, submission, or political fact.
  • Elimination confirmation: No
  • GM ruling: Approved as recommended under T002-A01

T002-D03 — Claybank establishes the firing order, completes a small trial, and buys one Ferryend crossing

  • Type: Grouped reversible; external AI-community exchange and player-clan name carrier
  • Affected: player3; Rusk, Hobb, Alin, Daia, Miri, Venn, workers and households; Seln and Ferryend
  • Established facts: Strong runoff; the soft field edge remains; Rusk ordered the final firing continued with restricted venting; runoff also contributed; clay is unproven; one worker remains non-weight-bearing; Ferryend offered per-use terms.
  • Autonomous actions: Alin protects fields; Rusk defends craft authority; Hobb gives direct testimony and ground veto; Daia protects workers; Miri builds the record; Seln preserves narrows leverage.
  • Recommendation: Most delayed ground is planted while the soft edge remains deferred. The hearing establishes Rusk’s order without a sole-cause verdict or sanction. A small open trial yields mostly surviving pieces plus some cracks/warps, authorizing only further small tests; temporary vent/site/worker-stop rules hold. A shallow diversion reduces new runoff. Three jars buy one witnessed return crossing, and Seln names Merehaven only by fishing reputation.
  • Leadership effect and limit: 1.000 Exceptional influence selects near-best defensible candor, trial control, and bounded exchange. It cannot create a production kiln, prove the clay at scale, erase injury, impose a standing ferry right, or reveal Merehaven private state.
  • Credible alternatives: Low field stays deferred; testimony confirms only strong inference; trial fails but still validates safety procedure; Seln gives information instead of a crossing.
  • Downstream: Standing firing code, accountability, larger clay test, kiln siting, recovery, and optional lake carrier.
  • Privacy: Merehaven’s name/general reputation only; no condition, result, council, or player action.
  • Elimination confirmation: No
  • GM ruling: Approved as recommended under T002-A01

T002-D04 — Merehaven raises preservation capacity, renews the council, and opens reciprocal Rushhook observation

  • Type: Grouped reversible; institutional continuation and external AI-community contact
  • Affected: player4; Varo, Eska, Toren, Luma, Cal, Neri, six work groups; Tovan and Rushhook
  • Established facts: Little dry fuel and thin cordage bind capacity; two racks and one boat work; local net harm is strongly supported but authorship and full cycle remain hidden; the council is temporary; first fish signs begin.
  • Autonomous actions: Varo protects the fuel floor; Eska conditions rack work; Toren presses for catch while retaining deep-water status; Cal builds travel/craft standing; Neri and Luma maintain local evidence; Tovan resists unilateral blame.
  • Recommendation: A small dry surplus plus cordage maintenance permits the third rack; wet wood becomes later reserve and the second boat remains secured. Several additional loads are fully preserved. Boat checks and apprentice observation form a first repeatable cycle. The council renews for one moon. Repeated comparisons strengthen local-harm evidence without authorship. Cal’s delegation reaches Rushhook; Tovan exchanges hospitality and limited outlet timing observations but accepts no restriction and conveys no player-settlement fact.
  • Leadership effect and limit: 1.000 Exceptional influence selects near-best defensible capacity, learning, and contact quality. It cannot create fuel, prove a lake-wide cycle, identify Toren, compel Tovan, or bypass future material scarcity.
  • Credible alternatives: Dry yield is insufficient and the third rack remains braced; weather aborts Rushhook contact; the council renews with a narrower fuel-only charge.
  • Downstream: Stronger-run cap dispute, cordage/boat choices, reciprocal observation, council review, and persistent authorship question.
  • Privacy: Protect Toren’s order, Rushhook’s prior overfishing, full Whiteback cycle, and every other player settlement.
  • Elimination confirmation: No
  • GM ruling: Approved as recommended under T002-A01
