Proposal 1890
Giving the Praetor some Slack

Mon Mar 31 09:34:20 1997

This is a Modest proposal.

{{[there was a situation where the Praetor was an interested party,
and would have had to go on vacation to avoid CoI.  Lets try to fix
that; vacations are for vacationing.]}}

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Amend rule 425, "Praetor", as follows:

I.  [using the standard office rules]

Replace, section I, which reads:

"
      I. The Office of the Praetor is a Political Office. It has one
seat. If the seat is vacant, it shall be filled by Nomination and
Election for Office. Should either of these terms be nonexistent, the
Clerk of the Court may appoint any eligible player to the seat. To be
eligible for Nomination and Election or appointment by the Clerk of the
Court, a player must be active and one or more of the following 

      a) a Bronze Torch holder
      b) eligible to receive a Bronze Torch
      c) the owner of a Gold Stripe or Ruby Slipper
      d) a former Supreme Court Justice
      e) enshrined in the Hall of Elders 

      Regardless of any other eligibility, a current Justice or
Acting Justice is never eligible. 

      If the seat is vacant and there are no eligible players, the
seat remains vacant. 

      If appointed (not elected) to the Office of Praetor, a player has
three days to accept the Office. If he does not do so within that time,
the appointment is declared void. 
"

with:

"
      I. The Office of the Praetor is a Political Office. To be eligible
for the office, a player must be active and one or more of the following: 

      a) a Bronze Torch holder
      b) the owner of a Gold Stripe or Ruby Slipper
      c) a former Supreme Court Justice
      d) enshrined in the Hall of Elders 

      Regardless of any other eligibility, a current Justice or
Acting Justice is never eligible. 
"

II.  [allowed abdication]

Replace section II, which reads:

"
      II. If an Acting Justice needs to be selected because of a
Justice's Vacation, the Praetor shall be selected before other eligible
players, if not already an Acting Justice; if the Praetor cannot be
selected, players eligible to be Praetor shall be selected before other
players. 
"

with:

"
      II. If an Acting Justice needs to be selected because of a
Justice's Vacation, the Praetor shall be selected before other eligible
players, if not already an Acting Justice; if the Praetor cannot be
selected, or the Praetor abdicates the appoinment, players eligible to
be Praetor shall be selected before other players. 
"

III.  [one less thing to track, and another out in a CoI situation]

replace section IV, which reads:

"
      IV. The Praetor may not decline Judgment. When a CFJ is submitted
to him, he is assumed to have immediately accepted it. He may send a
CFJ to the Supreme Court, though he may do this only if he has not
submitted a CFJ to the Supreme Court within the last 14 days. If e does
this, he is not required to deliver a verdict. 
"
