[s-b] Proposal: Fix Convictions

[Justin Ahmann <quesmarktion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

{
Amend Rule 4E54 to read as follows:
{
The rules may make certain Game Actions or gamestates involving a Player as Crimes by defining them as one of the subcategories of Crimes--Felonies or Misdemeanors.
 
An Offense is a single instance of a Player being so involved in a Crime.
 
A Player is Guilty of an Offense if a Jury has Decided so.  If a Player is Guilty of an Offense, and his Punishment has not been Assigned for that Offense, the Judge is obligated to Assign the Punishment, which must be greater than or equal in severity to the Minimum Punishment for the Crime and less than or equal in severity to the Maximum Punishment for the Crime.
 
Any Player can, with 4 Support, declare a Punishment to be UNFAIR and reduce it to the Minimum Punishment for the Crime in question.
 
When not otherwise specified, the Minimum Punishment for a Misdemeanor shall be a fine of m1 and the Maximum Punishment a fine of m50.
 
When not otherwise specified, the Minimum Punishment for a Felony shall be a fine of m25 and the Maximum Punishment a fine of m500.
 
A fine consists of the amount of the fine being deducted from the Guilty Player's mackerel.
}
 
Create a new Rule, entitled "Since We're not Using the Word..." with the following text:
{
A Quorum is a Game Document, which may be submitted at any time.  It consists of 
 
* An Accusation, which is a Crime 
* An Example, which is an Offense of the Accusation that occured no more than one nweek before the time of submission of the Quorum
* An Offender, which is the Player allegedly involved in the Example criminally
* A Tidbit, which is either the word "cheese" or the numeral "3"
 
Reasoning clarifying the intent of the Quorum may also be submitted.
}
 
Create a new Rule, entitled "The Judge" with the following text:
{
There exists a Ministry called the Ministry of Judging.  The Minister of Judging, also known as the Judge, is responsible for maintaining a Public Display of all Quorums and their outcomes.
 
When a Quorum is submitted, the Judge becomes obligated to randomly select a Jury.  To select a Jury, the Judge follows the following procedure (or an equivalent one):
 
(1) Assign all Active Players a priority of 1.  Assign the Judge and the Player who submitted the Quorum a priority of 1/2.  Assign the Offender a priority of 0.  Assign all members of The Horde a priority of 0.
(2) If there are at least three Players with a priority of 1, select a random group of three of them to be the Jury and exit the procedure.
(3) If any Players have nonintegral priority, round each Player's priority up to the nearest integer and repeat step 2.
(4) Place all Active Players on the Jury.

Each member of the Jury shall deliver an answer to the Public Forum.  If a majority of the members of the Jury deliver answers of "GUILTY", the Jury Decides the Offender to be Guilty.

When the Judge Assigns a Punishment, he applies the Punishment to the Guilty Player.
