-So just have something set up like "if the Judge doesn't do whatever the Judge is supposed to do by the end of the checkpoint, a new Judge is selected." There's always the chance that they won't be there anyway.-

-Like... what? Set them up a new address and send the messages there? Or just have this be an Administerial duty?-

-This is like the unwritten rule that you're not supposed to cut in a line. You don't have to write it down because someone who breaks it is more or less tattooing "asshole" on their own forehead.-

-Well, if you want to keep playing, you'll vote, and if you want points, you'll post actions to s-b... you may not agree with my interpretation there, but even if you don't, setting up a restriction like that just looks like an invitation for something to screw up later. Wouldn't be the first time.-
