A tad unrelated, but just to bring up one of my ideas that's been siting around for a while... What does everyone think about bringing back criminal cases in some way? Obviously not if the situation is uncontested, (I think there have always been exemptions, or perhaps alternate procedures for that) but more CFJs should make things interesting. The current system feels like it's mostly intended to make sure the officers do their jobs, but it would be nice to bring back other form of rulebreaking, and generally make things more interesting. Especially if we get an economy. I have a new system I should be bringing out for comment soon (take that with a grain of salt, if not several of them. Some of my ideas have been in that stage for weeks) which may also add more offenses. (I think what I'm thing to say with all this is that our system works best for rules we actually want people to follow)
At the moment I think you appeal cards by initiating inquiry cases into the validity of the card. But again the carding system is pretty weak, and even worse, boring. I was thinking of turning the ref into a prosecutor, while also allowing others to bring cases. I don't know why we ever got rid of these cases, and I'm too lazy to dig through the archives and check. If someone knows (or is willing to check) we can fix whatever went wrong last time. -Aris On Wednesday, October 19, 2016, Nicholas Evans <nich...@gmail.com <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','nich...@gmail.com');>> wrote: > You might want to take a look at the discussion for the economic proposal > - part of it would include punishments you have to pay off. > > In general, we have to be careful with punishments though.
