Silly Me, I Should Have Thought Of This
Attila the Pun (Micah Smukler)

Proposal 3319
Minor Judging Things
Attila the Pun (Micah Smukler)

Amend Rule 212 ("Selecting a Judge") by replacing the following
NOW-delimited text with the 
following ANDTHEN-delimited text:

NOW
i) All Active Players are eligible. 

ii) All Players on the CFJ Ineligibility List are excluded. 

ii) The author of the CFJ is excluded. 

iii) If the CFJ is also a CFCJ the Player or Players named in its
statement are excluded. 

iv) All Justices are excluded. 

v) All Players who have declined to judge the CFJ are excluded, unless
this would reduce the 
number of eligible Players to 0. 

vi) All Players who have already been assigned a CFJ and are yet decline
or return a verdict 
on it are excluded, unless this would reduce the number of eligible
Players to less than half 
the number of Active Players.
NOW

ANDTHEN
i) All Active Players are eligible. 

ii) All Players on the CFJ Ineligibility List are excluded. 

iii) The author of the CFJ is excluded. 

iv) If the CFJ is also a CFCJ the Player or Players named in its
statement are excluded. 

v) All Justices are excluded. 

vi) All Players who have declined to judge the CFJ are excluded. 

vii) All Players who have already been assigned a CFJ and are yet
decline or return a verdict 
on it are excluded, unless this would reduce the number of eligible
Players to less than half 
the number of Active Players.

If any of the above steps would cause the number of eligible players to
be reduced to zero or 
fewer, that step is not performed.
ANDTHEN

Rename Rule 215 ("Judgements Must Accord With The Rules") to
"Judgement-Rule Interaction".

Repeal Rule 216 ("Judgements Are Not Rules").

Insert the following SUBER-delimited text at the end of rule 215:

SUBER
If a statement on which Judgement has been called is Judged to be true,
and that Judgement is 
not overruled, it does not thereby become a rule, or any part of a rule.
It merely becomes an 
explicit part of currently accepted game custom. 
SUBER

Amend Rule 416 ("Supreme Court") by replacing "a randomly selected
Justice (not including any 
inactive Justices or owners of the same Supreme Cortex as the one
becoming inactive)" with "a 
randomly selected Justice (not including any inactive Justices, owners
of the same Supreme 
Cortex as the one becoming inactive, or Justices substituting for owners
of the same Supreme
Cortex as the one becoming inactive; the final two provisions shall be
ignored if their
application results in zero or fewer justices eliglible to be
selected.)"

Proposal 3320
Empty mailbox-->bored people--> boring proposals
Mr. Tambourine Man (Tom Walmsley)

I was young and foolish then I feel old and foolish now.

This is a modest proposal. 

Repeal rule 1060. [This one looks as if no-one's going to be using it.]
