The Judge selected was Helen Broadie:
I judge that in 418 point 3:"Every new player who joins the game will receive CV100"the phrase "new player joins the game" refers to any non-player who becomes a player.While neither option would have conflicted with any of the present rules I chose this one partly so that it would fit in best with the rest of rule 418 and partly because it seems unfair for people to be penalized for leaving and rejoining, especially as we want to lure back all those who have left. A proposal is in the pipeline, though, to stop people leaving and rejoining for profit.
