spoon-business: Proposal Alteration

[Dan Waldron <wald7330@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following is the second revision of my proposal, number 312.

Change the text of the proposal to read as follows:

[[Proposal Summary: This proposal will enact a criminal code which gives
us the ability to punish people for various actions that disrupt game
play. Included are laws for dealing with players who try to destroy the
game and officers who abuse their power.]]

[[Revision 2:  separated the crimes into individual rules, and corrected
them to properly deal with corrupt judges and officers.]]


Enact a new rule titled "Criminal Code" with the first available rule 
number and text as follows: 

It is recognized that while certain actions technically allowed to a
Player may not be in the best intrests of this game. If a player believes
that any agent has been guilty of such a crime then e should submit an RFJ
accusing that suspect of the crime.  The arguments portion of the RFJ
should contain documentation of whatever evidence has been found to
support the accusation.  Judges should take into account the precedent of
judgements on simmilar crimes as well as the evidence presented to come to
eir decision.  The RFJ must be submitted within two nweeks of the date of
the alleged crime.

An RJF submitted for this purpose is handled in the normal manner for an
RJF except for the following points of difference:

1. The accused is entitled to submit to the Judge a statement explaining
their position and arguing for their own defense. If they do not submit
such a statement within a reasonable length of time then they lose this
right.

2.  If the judge rules True then e shall issue Judicial orders to restore
the game to the state it would be in without the crime, and also may order
the Agent found guilty to make reparations or punishment within the bounds
of the guidelines for various types of crimes specified in the rules.

3. Neither the submittor nor the accused may be assigned to judge such an
RFJ.

4. The ruling on this kind of RFJ must be either True or False.  If it is
proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the agent did commit the crime then
the ruling shall be true, otherwise the ruling must be false.


Here ends the new rule entitled "Criminal Code"

Enact a new rule entitled "General Misconduct", with text as follows:

The crime of General Misconduct is a crime punishable under the Criminal
Code.  To be found guilty of General Misconduct, an agent must have used
devious means to attempt some action not normally allowed or possible.
Punishment for this crime is a fine of up to 100 points.  The Judge will
also issue orders to correct the game state.

Here ends the rule "General Misconduct.

Enact a new rule entitled "Game Delay", with text as follows:

The crime of Game Delay is a crime punishable under the Criminal Code.  
To be found guilty of game delay through excessive RFJs, proposals, or
other means, the accused agent must have submitted at least fifteen RFJs
or proposals within one nweek, which was found to hinder game play, or
must have taken other simmilar actions which prevented participation by
the Players. Punishment for this should be a suspension of the ability to
submit RFJs or proposals of not more than five times the duration of the
delay in game play, and may also involve a loss of points at the
discresion of the judge.

Here ends the rule titled "The Crime of Game Delay"

Enact a new rule entitled "The Crime of Dereliction of Duty"

The crime of Dereliction of Duty is a crime punishable under the criminal
code.  To be found guilty of the crime of dereliction of duty, an agent
must have been an officer and must have failed to perform some official
duty within the time allowed.  Punishment for this should be a loss of up
to 100 points and possible expulsion from the office if the crime is
particularly severe, at the discresion of the Judge. The Judge shall also
take such steps as are nescessarry to correct the game state.

Here ends the rule entitled "The Crime of Dereliction of Duty"


Enact a new rule entitled "The Crime of Murder"

Murder is a crime punishable under the criminal code.  To be found guilty
of the crime of murder, an agent must have acted in some way as to
directly and permanently prevent a player from participating in the game.
Punishment for this should include loss of any official privilidges, loss
of points, loss of player status, or permanent expulsion from the game at
the discresion of the judge.

Here ends the new rule.


Enact a new rule entitled "Abuse of Office"

To be found guilty of the crime of abuse of office, an agent must have
been an officer and must have unfairly used the power granted to eir
office outside the capacity of that office for either the benefit or the
detriment of emself or another Agent or Agents.  Punishment for this crime
should be a fine of up to 100 points and an immediate expiration of eir
Official term. The Judge shall also take such steps as are nescessarry to
correct the game state.

Here ends the revised text, and revision also.
