This allows the player with the maximum fatigue to change eir posture to sitting and back to standing in order to reduce eir fatigue to the next greatest. I don't see any problem with allowing the CotC to globally decrease fatigue values, although I don't see any particular need for it either. > > When the CotC assigns a standing player as judge of a judicial > > case, the player's fatigue is incremented by one, except in the > > situation discussed in the next sentence.

Works for me, although I'm presently rethinking increasing fatigue by the number of cases. If a player is assigned 5 linked cases, and another player subsequently becomes standing, the second player would have to wait for 5 rotations before getting a case. > Also, do you intend fatigue to increase when a case is transferred > per Rule 2164? I haven't thought about it. The present rule doesn't touch posture at all when a case is transferred. -root
