[Spoon-business] Justice 2.0

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose:

{{
__Shenanigans__

Amend r126 [[Calls for Inquiry]] to read:
{{
__Calling for Inquiry__

If players disagree about the legality of an action, the interpretation 
or application of a rule or set of rules, or the current state of the 
game, any player may invoke the Second Highly Exalted Network for 
Active Nomic Interpration and General Analysis of Nomic States, or 
SHENANIGANS. This is done by submitting a Call For Inquiry, or CFI; 
this is called Calling Shenanigans.

A CFI is a Game Document consisting of a statement about the game and 
(optionally) an argument in favor of that statement.

The entity that submitted a CFI is called its Plaintiff. When Calling 
Shenanigans, the Plaintiff may choose to Call Shenanigans on another 
player; if e does, the chosen player is the CFI's Defendant.
}}

{{
__Upper and Lower__

There exists a set of players called the Upper House, one called the 
Middle Ground, and another called the Lower Pit. Any player who is in 
none of these may declare eir intention to enter the Upper House at any 
time; a player who does so becomes a member of the Upper House at the 
end of that nweek. Any player who has been in the Lower Pit for two 
nweeks or more may remove emself from it at any time. Any player in the 
Upper House may leave the Upper House at any time.

If a player is put into any of these three sets, e is removed from any 
of the other two that e is in. No player may ever be in more than one 
of these sets.

}}

{{
__Judges__

For each CFI, there is a set of Eligible Judges. All members of the 
Upper House are Eligible for a CFI except the Plaintiff and the 
Defendant of that CFI. If this means that fewer than two players are 
Eligible Judges, then members of the Middle Ground are Eligible Judges 
as well, with the exception of the Plaintiff and the Defendant.

When Shenanigans is Called, the Minister of Justice must select an 
Eligible Judge for the CFI at random; the chose player becomes that 
CFI's Judge and is moved to the Middle Ground.

The Judge of a CFI may issue a Judgment on it. This Judgment must be 
one of the following (or an equivalent term that unambiguously 
identifies one of the following):
TRUE: The statement of the CFI was true as of the Shenanigans Call
FALSE: The statement of the CFI was false as of the Shenanigans Call
REFUSED: The statement of that CFI is unclear, nonsensical, or 
irrelevant to the game, or otherwise should not be judged.

When the Judge judges the CFI, e receives 10 tildex, ceases to be the 
Judge of that CFI, and is moved to the Upper House.

If seven or more days have passed since a judge was assigned to a CFI, 
any player may Recuse that Judge. When this happens, the CFI is 
Remanded to the Upper House, the Recuser gains 5 tildex, and the Judge 
ceases to be Judge, loses 20 tildex, and is moved to the Lower Pit.

}}

{{
__Appeals__

If a player believes that the judge of a CFI has issued a judgment on 
misinformation or has overlooked an important rule or fact, that player 
may Recall Shenanigans on that CFI (this may only be done after the CFI 
has been judged).  This causes the CFI to be Remanded to the Upper 
House; the Upper House becomes the Judge of that CFI.

For ten ndays after a CFI is Remanded to the Upper House, every player 
who was an Eligible Judge for that CFI at the time of Remanding may 
submit an Appellate Judgment on that CFI. These players are called the 
Appellate Judges. An Appellate judgment may be any of the allowed 
Judgments that an ordinary judge may make.

After ten days, or after one of the possible Judgment choices has been 
issued by a majority of all Appellate Judges, the Upper House Judges 
the CFI. It issues whichever Judgment was issued by the greatest number 
of Appellate Judges. In the event of a tie between the Judgment issued 
by the original judge and any number of other Judgments, the one issued 
by the original judge shall be used; in a tie between other Judgments 
only, the Minister of Justice shall decide which Judgment is used.
