The judge is randomly selected from what set?
When do the players send their throws?
Is it possible to change one's throw?
What if the judge's e-mail address is hidden/bouncing?
How do we find out who won?
When does the winner gain eir coveted attribute?

For timing reasons I think it's a bad idea for any rule to force a
player to post a message.  In fact, I'm contemplating a proposal to
that effect. 

I also don't like the name of the attribute (although I appreciate the
efficiency of achieving two onanistic references in only three words). 


Meanwhile, in Rule 625 A.1, "expicitly" should no doubt read
"explicitly".
