[Cs5500] New Design For OpposeAction

[rashmi nayak]

Hi Paarth,

I think I did not understand you correctly. But from what I understand, here
is what I think.

As I understand  - If you are implementing the admin, the admin needs to
process only the responses obtained from the Avatars. So you would be
processing "oppose" <oppositions> List(OpposeAction).

The avatar has to either agree, refute or strengthen each claim. So there is
a one to one mapping between each OpposeAction in Response and each Claim in
the "oppose"  <claimsToOppose> List(Claim)  in Request.

So you are suggesting that instead of having the Admin loop through this
mapping once to fetch which all claims have been agreed, strengthened or
refuted, you would be changing the response to group these differently. Is
my understanding correct?
If so,  I see one problem here is that the Avatar may modify the
Claims in refuting"
List(Claim) "agree" List(Claim). So it will be Admin's responsibility to
ensure that such Avatar's are punished.

If I have misunderstood your suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks,
Rashmi
