Only because no one's bothered to bring one. If you vote 9 times when you have only 7 votes, it's a reasonable defense of "I didn't knowingly cast too many votes, I wasn't sure of my total". Voting some absurd number of times may be different, and if I was the assessor I would have called you out with a case some time ago. Knowingly attempting an action that you know (based on private knowledge) to be 100% illegal, while others do not have that knowledge, is a strong case for criminal intent to me. In these days of multiple email accounts, we have to take issues of individuality on trust for the game to work. When this trust is broken, throw the book at the offenders. I would say (arguably of course) that it is and should be one of the worst Agoran taboos, and should be treated accordingly. -Goethe
