spoon-business: Proposal: _My Gavel Up Your Ass_ (aka No Judicial Kickbacks)


Proposal _My Gavel Up Your Ass_

Create a rule as follows:

{{
_No Judicial Kickbacks_

There exists an entity known as Mike Judge.  Mike Judge is a non-player
entity.

No Call For Judgement may know the identity of the player judging it.
Any Call For Judgement which attempts to identify the player judging it
will see that identity as Mike Judge.  Any Call For Judgement which
rewards or penalizes the player judging it will dispense those rewards
or penalties to Mike Judge.  The judge assigned to the ruling shall
remain the player assigned by the Administrator.

No Call For Judgement (hereafter referred to as CFJ) may know how the
judge of that CFJ ruled.  Any CFJ that attempts to determine how its
judge ruled will see that ruling as "My gavel up your ass.  Huh-huh.  I
said 'Ass'."  The actual ruling on the CFJ shall remain the ruling given
by the player assigned to judge it.

No Call For Judgement may include a statement which refers specifically
to the judge assigned to judge that CFJ, or the judge specifically
assigned to judge any other specific CFJ (where specific CFJ means any
qualification that could refer only to one CFJ.  In other words, the CFJ
need not be referenced by serial number, as long as a unique
specification is given).  In addition, no CFJ may include a statement
which refers to the CFJs submitted by a specific player as a class.

Any CFJ statement which refers specifically to the judge assigned to
judge that CFJ, or the judge specifically assigned to judge any other
specific CFJ, as well as any CFJ statement which refers to the CFJs
submitted by a specific player as a class, must be judged "Refused" or
"Undecided", else the ruling judge will be added permanently to the List
of Misbehaving Judges, and may not be removed from the List of
Misbehaving Judges except in the event of a Win.  This rule supersedes
rule 209.

At the time of the passage of this proposal, any CFJ judged in the past
10 ndays that referred specifically to the judge assigned to judge that
CFJ, or the judge specifically assigned to judge any other specific CFJ,
will have its ruling summarily changed to FALSE.  This paragraph will
then delete itself from this rule.  The following paragraph is inactive
until this paragraph is deleted.

No ruling on a CFJ may be changed except by the judge assigned to rule
on that CFJ.  No rule may alter the ruling on a CFJ in any way.  Judges
may revise their ruling within one nday of the first posting of that
ruling in a public forum, after which time all rulings are final.
