The real problem is that a sentence of SILENCE imposes Rests immediately; imposing delays earlier in the process wouldn't stop the C-or-J and eir confederate from (a) submitting sufficiently many NOVs and (b) sentencing and activity-juggling all in the same message. One possibility is to allow only (say) five sentences of SILENCE to take effect per day, delaying additional sentences in 1-day increments.
