Then, we ought to amend the rule. According the rules, the base value is 4 blots. The fine should be reduced for being reasonably inconsequential but then increased for being an abuse of power and profitable, resulting in what I believe to be a fine of 4 blots when interpreted kindly. -- ---- Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, Herald, Referee, Tailor, Pirate Champion, Badge of the Great Agoran Revival, Badge of the Salted Earth
