[s-b] Proposal: Crime and Punishment

["Geoffrey Spear" <geoffspear@xxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following Proposal, entitled "Crime and Punishment":

{
Create a rule entitled "Criminal Offenses" with the following text:
{{
A Game Action is said to be Criminal if the Rules state that the
Player who has taken that action shall not do so, or if the action is
defined by rule to be a Misdemeanor or a Felony.

No player shall be punished for a Criminal Action unless he has been
found guilty by a Consultation on a Question of his guilt for a
particular action.

When an Answer to a Consultation on a Player's guilt becomes Pondered,
he shall be assigned a Punishment.  This punishment must accord with
the minimum and maximum sentencing guidelines for the Crime in
question.  The punishment shall be assigned by the Priest who answered
the Question of guilt if his Answer indicated that the Player in
question was guilty, or by the Oracle if the Priest's answer indicated
that the Player was not guilty and his Answer was subsequently found
to be INCONSISTENT.  Any Player can, with 4 support, declare a penalty
to be UNFAIR and reduce it to the minimum for the crime in question.

The Oracle cannot ZOT a question into his own guilt in a criminal matter.

If not defined otherwise, all criminal offenses are Misdemeanors.

When not otherwise specified, the minimum punishment for a Misdemeanor
shall be a fine of 1m and the maximum a fine of 50m.

When not otherwise specified, the minimum punishment for a Felony
shall be a fine of 25m and the maximum a fine of 500m.
}}

Create a rule entitled "Murder" with the following text:
{{
Murder is a Felony that consists of intentionally causing another
Player's Hit Points to become nonpositive.
}}
}
