So, it looks like infractions cause blots to appear at the time of
Investigation, not at the time of noting nor the time of the crime, which
means that, potentially, players can win by cheating, then get the blots
after they win. A simple (yet dangerous) retroactive text addition follows:
would this fix it?
{
Rule 2478/24 (*Power=3*)
Justice
An Infraction is a violation of a rule. The person who committed
an infraction is its infracter.
The Investigator for an infraction is the Referee unless e is the
infracter. Otherwise, it is the Arbitor.
The Class of an infraction is 2 unless a rule specifies a
different Class for it.
The Base of an infraction is N, where N is the number of
previously-investigated, unforgiven infractions that have been
committed by the same person in the last 30 days. The previous
notwithstanding, if the base of an infraction would be greater
than its class, the infraction's base is equal to its class.
Within 14 days of an infraction being committed, the Investigator
CAN investigate the infraction by announcement, specifying a
number of blots between the Base and the Class of the infraction,
inclusive. When e does so, that many blots are created in the
possession of the infracter*, retroactively, at the time the
infraction was committed.*
The previous notwithstanding, an Investigator CANNOT investigate
an infraction that has already been investigated or forgiven. The
Investigator of a noted, unforgiven infraction SHALL investigate
the infraction in a timely manner after it has been noted;
failure to do so is the Class N crime of Favoritism, where N is
equal to the Class of the noted infraction.
A player CAN, by announcement, "note" an unforgiven infraction
committed by any other player in the last 7 days, specifying the
incident and the rule it violates (or name of the Infraction if
it has one).
The Referee's weekly report contains a list of noted and
investigated Infractions committed in the previous week.
