I intend to send the following message on behalf of the panel in CFJ 2082a (with the support of my fellow panelists or a fellow panelist and the CotC): {{ Whether the statement in question was a threat is irrelevant to the issue of culpability. (It is relevant to the sentence, but that is not under appeal here.) As no arguments have been presented for why (in spite of the judge's determination) tusho might have believed that '[tusho] kills Goethe' was a true statement when e made it, there's no serious reason to question the verdict on culpability. Therefore, this panel judges CFJ 2082a AFFIRM. }} -woggle

DIS: Subscribing Nomic Dice to a-b?
When the PBM dice server was functional, we had subscribed it (or otherwise approved it for posting) to a-b, so that dice rolls could be published. Would it be useful to do the same for its clone on nomic.net? - Benjamin Schultz KE3OM OscarMeyr

The fact that they can be removed if they're blatantly corrupt doesn't mean they have no discretion at all, in fact, even corrupt selections by either don't violate the rules; the only "punishment" is the displeasure of the other players, who can remove the officer in question.

We should just find an adequate deterrant for two certain players.
