General Chaos protoes the beginnings of a Judicial Reform, which would define Sentencing Orders (Judicial Orders) and Notices of Infraction (Administrative Orders) as punishment for Crimes and Infractions. 12/23 Steve re-protoes "Bring Back Public Voting". General Chaos reprotoes eir Judicial Reform. Morendil cancels both eir Votes on Proposal 3640 ("FULL FRONTAL LOBOTOMY"), calling into question (twice) whether the Insanity Rule's clauses apply to cancelled Votes. 12/24 The Repeal-O-Matic generates Proposals to repeal the following Rules: * 1494 (Establish the Welcome Wagon) * 1741 (Restore Game Balance II) Promotor Crito attempted to generate additional Repeal-O-Matic Proposals to repeal the following Rules: * 1079 (Definition of "Random") * 1623 (Disinterested Proposals) * 1567 (Making Oneself Ineligible to Judge a CFJ) * 1661 (The Right of Patronage) but the Repeal-O-Matic Rule did not yet exist during the weeks corresponding to these supposed-Proposals. Possible interpretations of this are: 1) They were not Proposed at all. [Promotor Crito insists that this is the case.] 2) They were Proposed by Promotor Crito. 3) They were Proposed by the Repeal-O-Matic Rule (through its Executor, Promotor Crito), even though the Repeal-O-Matic Rule did not mandate their being Proposed. General Chaos reprotoes "The Omnibus Reform Act of 1998", now also defining Appelate Orders and Private Orders, and (as promised) subsuming Transfer Orders and Payment Orders. 12/27 General Chaos reprotoes "TORAo1998". 12/28 General Chaos reprotoes "TORAo1998". 12/29 Steve Proposes "Bring Back Public Voting". Proposals 3603, 3618, 3619, and 3622 were not adopted after all. Voting ends on Proposals 3624-3649. The following are adopted: 3627 [G. Chaos] Pragmatization of Transfer Orders 3628 [Murphy] Fix Nominations 3629 [G. Chaos] Persistent Judges 3631 [Steve] Left In A Huff! 3633 [Chuck] Repeal Rule Attributions 3634 [Steve] Permanent Public Voting 3635 [G. Chaos] Simplify Judicial Salaries 3636 [G. Chaos] Probate, Take Two 3637 [Blob] Perpetual Offices 3638 [Michael] Repeal the Virus 3641 [Kolja A.] (Promotor may modify Repeal-O-Matic's Proposals) 3642 [G. Chaos] No Double Penalties for Officers 3643 [G. Chaos] Lowered Quorum 3644 [G. Chaos] Liberalize Speaker's Patronage 3645 [elJefe] Late Judgements 3646 [elJefe] Organizational Payment Orders 3647 [Swann] Quorum Tools Proposal 3640 (FULL FRONTAL LOBOTOMY) fails to give Harlequin a Win, as Crito Voted FOR it. 12/30 Steve protoes "Curb VT Supply", which would turn off the weekly VT stipend when there are 200 or more VTs outside the Bank. OFFICES ------- 12/29 Michael resigns as Assessor, appointing General Chaos, who accepts. INTERNOMIC ---------- 12/24 INP 355 (PlayNomic) is rejected. 12/28 Ambassador Kolja A. submits INP 357 to re-add "New Rishonnomic" to the list of voting members of InterNomic. INP 356 received no votes, the effect of which is undefined. (Ackanomic may have voted for it, but the formal record has apparently been lost.) InterNomic defaults on SFJ 10, the effect of which is undefined. OTHER ----- 12/23 Steve joins "Chain Letter 1" and designates Oerjan and Kolja as eir nominees. Harlequin joins "Chain Letter 1" and designates Morendil and General Chaos as eir nominees. Crito joins "Chain Letter 1" and designates Michael and Swann as eir nominees. Murphy gets 2 VTs because eir nominees have both become Contestants. "Standard Classes of Crimes" and "Deregistration due to Silence" are Infected by the Virus. The former Infection causes all Crimes and Infractions to be without penalty, except for those with effects not defined using the Standard Classes. My, but there are quite a few such Crimes and Infractions! * Allowing Excess CFJing * Dereliction of Duty * Excess CFJing * Excess Proposing * Failing to Judge * Failing to Judge an Appeal * Judge Inactivity * Misappropriation * Persistent Indebtedness * Seriousness * Speaker Abandonment * Wrongful Injunction 12/24 "The Church of Odo on the Worm Hole" (an Ackanomic organization) becomes a non-voting member of InterNomic. Remaining choices for "Chain Letter 1" nominees: Andre, Blob, Chuck, Vir -- Ed Murphy http://www.bayside.net/users/ford/ "I see," said Arthur, who didn't.
