Well that last bit sucked for the referee - it meant the referee had to look at literally everything, reports, lateness of judgements, etc. to certify that there were no violations. The referee would sometimes commit a minor infraction and award emself a green card because that was easier. Other than that and other minor tweaks I think it worked well and I liked it. IIRC the reason we got rid of it wasn't because it was bad, it was the desire to commodify punishment to include in the economy? Looking closer, that proposal didn't invent the card system, but it greatly elaborated it (from a single rule simple concept - too simple really - to a much longer and fuller justice system). -G.
