[s-d] A different RFJ system (draft)

["David E. Smith" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a draft proposal that puts justice and the RFJ system into  
more of a "democratic" light. Since everyone participates in most  
every other aspect of the game, why not include everyone in the RFJ  
system too?

Oh, and it has a cooler name. :)

One of the things I never much liked about most of our previous  
iterations of B is that RFJs almost always ended up being decided by  
one person, and it would have been easy for that person to do  
something evil and collusive. Hopefully, by having everyone involved,  
such collusion will be a bit more difficult.

There's no justice like angry mob justice!
{{
Create the following rule:
{{
__The Mob__

There exists a game object called The Mob. Players may be members of The Mob.

New players, upon joining the game, are NOT members of The Mob.

Any player that is not a member of the Mob, and has not been a member  
of the Mob for an uninterrupted period of at least two nweeks,  
automatically joins The Mob.

Players may not join or leave the Mob except in manners explicitly  
permitted or required by the Rules.
}}

Create the following rule:
{{
__Mob Justice__

If at any time a player believes the state of this game to be in  
question or error, that player may request Mob Justice. To request Mob  
Justice, a player must submit a message to a public forum, stating in  
detail the nature of the question or error, and explicitly stating  
that e requests Mob Justice. Such statement may, but is not required  
to, include a suggested remedy for the perceived question or error.

All members of The Mob then may respond to the request for Mob  
Justice, by stating on a public forum whether they agree or disagree  
with the original request. Each player may make only one such  
statement; if a player makes more than one such statement, the first  
statement made on any given request shall be binding.

After three ndays have elapsed, the Administrator shall tally all  
statements made by eligible members of The Mob. If, and only if, more  
than half of all members of the mob have stated that they agree with  
the request for Mob Justice, the Administrator shall implement the  
original requestor's suggested remedy, if one was given.

Any player who fails to respond to two separate, consecutive requests  
for Mob Justice, by stating either agreement or disagreement, is  
removed from The Mob.
}}

All players are made members of The Mob.

}}

Suggestions for cleaning up the wording and such are welcome. I  
haven't PLAYED in a nomic in a while, so my memory is fuzzy. :)
