[s-d] Judgement draft

[Antonio <antonio.dolcetta@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I have written a draft (already wikified) for a proposal implementing Judgement.
I would very much appreciate if you tell me what problems you can spot

==Judgement==
===Request For Judgement===
Whenever there is disagreement as to the interpretation of the rules any player may submit a Request For Judgement (also called RFJ) as a Game Action.
RFJs are Game Documents that contain exactly one Statement and optionally some supporting Reasoning.
RFJs automatically gain an RFJ Number upon submission. For each new RFJ, the RFJ number shall be equal to 001 or, if such Number is already in use, to the greatest existing RFJ Number incremented by one.
A RFJ is in one of the states of Pending, Accepted, Invalid and Resolved. A RFJ is initally Pending.

===Selecting the Judge===
Upon submission of an RFJ the Administrator shall select a Judge for that RFJ.
All Players that have voted in the last nweek, except the Player that submitted the RFJ, the Administrator, and Players that have already been selected as Judges for that RFJ, are eligible for selection as Judges. If no Player is eligible, the Administrator is automatically selected as Judge.

===Stepping Down===
the Player selected as Judge may step down from office, in this case, the RFJ becomes Pending (if it not already) and a new Judge is selected by the Administrator.

===Accepting RFJs===
The selected Judge shall accept eir assigned RFJ by publicly changing it's state to Accepted. 
The selected Judge may also change the RFJ's state to Invalid, if e considers the contained Statement to be unclear, ambiguous, or just random jubberish.

===Rendering Judgement===
Once an RFJ is Accepted, the selected Judge shall render Judgement on it to the best of eir knowledge of the Rules. Judgement shall conform to these possibilities:
* TRUE: the statement contained in the RFJ is true.
* FALSE: the statement contained in the RFJ is false.
The Judge may also submit his own Reasoning, explaining how eir interpretation of the Rules has led to Judgement.
Once Judgement is rendered, the state of the RFJ changes to Resolved.

===The Whole Point===
Resolved RFJs shall guide further interpretation of the Rules.

===Automatic Reassignement===
At the end of each nweek, if a RFJ has been Accepted for a whole nweek the RFJ becomes Pending.
At the beginning of each nweek, if a RFJ is Pending the Administrator shall select a new Judge for that RFJ.
