*looks* I did recommend chaotic numbers at the time. Zefram, then CotC, handled it as follows: > I do not assign the Sparta CFJs official ID numbers for the time being, > because I do not believe they exist and I wish to avoid screwing up > the numbering of real CFJs.

Zefram also assigned all the 10,000 alleged CFJs to pikhq, then they ran the alleged judicial salary through a "spend 2 to give someone else 1" mechanism to reduce it to the salary for a single case.
