EXPERIMENT 00066 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2478
("Justice"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 2478 is reproduced below for convenience:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 2478/24 (Power=1.7)
Justice

       An Infraction is a violation of a rule. The person who committed
       an infraction is its infracter.

The Investigator for an infraction is the Referee unless e is the

       infracter. Otherwise, it is the Arbitor.

The Class of an infraction is 2 unless a rule specifies a

       different Class for it.

The Base of an infraction is N, where N is the number of

       previously-investigated, unforgiven infractions that have been
       committed by the same person in the last 30 days. The previous
       notwithstanding, if the base of an infraction would be greater
       than its class, the infraction's base is equal to its class.

Within 14 days of an infraction being committed, the Investigator

       CAN investigate the infraction by announcement, specifying a
       number of blots between the Base and the Class of the infraction,
       inclusive. When e does so, that many blots are created in the
       possession of the infracter.

The previous notwithstanding, an Investigator CANNOT investigate

       an infraction that has already been investigated or forgiven. The
       Investigator of a noted, unforgiven infraction SHALL investigate
       the infraction in a timely manner after it has been noted;
       failure to do so is the Class N crime of Favoritism, where N is
       equal to the Class of the noted infraction.

A player CAN, by announcement, "note" an unforgiven infraction

       committed by any other player in the last 7 days, specifying the
       incident and the rule it violates (or name of the Infraction if
       it has one).

The Referee's weekly report contains a list of noted and

       investigated Infractions committed in the previous week.

A device is a violation of a Rule.

Otherwise, it is the device.
