ID: 8152
Title: Justice Reenactment
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: G.
Co-authors:
Re-enact Rule 2246 (name at repeal: Submitting a CFJ to the Justiciar),
at Power-2, and the following text:
When a person initiates a Call for Judgement, e CAN, optionally,
submit it to the Referee by announcement. All persons are
ENCOURAGED to submit a case to the Referee only when there is a
good reason not to let it be processed by the Arbitor as usual.
When a CFJ is submitted to the Referee, the Referee receives all
obligations and powers for the specific case that the Arbitor
would otherwise receive due to being Arbitor. This takes
precedence over Rules that would otherwise assign duties and
powers regarding a judicial case to the Arbitor.
Retitle Rule 2246 to "Submitting a CFJ to the Referee".

Each member of the Duumvirate is a "Dictator."
Either Dictator CAN by announcement cause this Rule to repeal itself.

Title: Justice Favour Adjustments
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: D Margaux
Co-authors:
[[Comment: This proposal fixes a mistaken reference to “cards,” requires the
Referee to act in a timely fashion, and increases the reward to encourage a
little more finger pointing, which I find to be an entertaining part of the
game.]]
Amend Rule 2542 to replace:
{When a player's Finger-Pointing leads to a Card award, or when the Referee
issues Summary Judgement, the Referee shall award a Favour in the Party
holding Justice to the responsible player.}
With:
{When a player's Finger-Pointing results in a player being fined one or more
blots, or when the Referee issues Summary Judgement, the Referee SHALL in a
timely fashion award 2 Favours in the Party holding Justice to the
responsible
player.}

Title: Extend "amend" and "reenact"
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Trigon
Co-authors: Ørjan
[ Comment: I stole Ørjan's wording for the third bullet point under
reenactments and I got rid of all instances of "re-enact", opting for
the nonhyphenated version. I also changed the title slightly. ]
Amend Rule 105 (Power=3) 'Rule Changes' by removing items 3-6 in the
ordered list and then adding to that list:
3. reenact a rule. A repealed rule not in the ruleset identified
by its most recent rule number MUST be specified for
reenactment. The rule's properties are to be set as follows:
* its ID number will be the same as it was when the rule was
most recently repealed.
* its change identifier will be one more than its change
identifier when it was most recently repealed.
* Each of its text, power and title shall be as provided by the
reenacting instrument, or if not provided, the same as when
it was most recently repealed, with power defaulting to 1 if
it had none. The rule SHOULD have materially the same purpose
as did the repealed version.
If the reenacting instrument is incapable of setting the
reenacted rule's power to that value, then the reenactment is
INEFFECTIVE.
4. amend a rule. This may include changing the rule's text, name,
or power.
