Judges don't get salaries of some kind anymore? I haven't been keeping track personally, I just assumed we still got notes or something. I agree (also to your point on tardiness) that salaries would be motivating to many. > The only things Agorans really care about (that can be lost right now) > are playerhood and voting rights, which are too extreme punishments > for a bad judgement, but right now there is nothing less. Speak for yourself. Some of us care that a game which is about rules and rules adjudication be played with fair and reasonable judicial processes that is respected by the players when judging. As I said, I thought we still had judicial salaries :). If we don't, adding them is a good carrot. > Which reminds me of an idea I had... what if we made Contracts a > subtype of Rules which might not apply to all persons?

If not, we did something like this with cards, not just in having a separate "document" that was in effect part of the ruleset, but that we had "blueprint" cards which could be made w/o objection or with various support, and so had low-level rules of this sort. -Goethe
