Goethe wrote: Fair enough. But the point was, when Zefram and I were looking at if we could block Murphy et al.'s proposal, we noticed that a CotC could legally mint an unbounded number of VCs, by an as-long-as-you-want list of linked, trivial CFJs. Instant, overpowering voting, worse than the Oligarch proposal itself. In this case, we used it to: They don't even need to be linked - the CotC merely needs to not do anything about the excess ones. 2. point out the issue (I have a draft bug fix, capping linked CFJ VCs the same way linked CFJ card draws were capped); Should apply to excess CFJs instead, or in addition.

The benefit of using linked CFJs is that a set can be all assigned to one judge, who then reaps all the VCs. Unlinked CFJs have to be assigned evenly, due to turning, so the VCs are available to everyone. We still could have done that, given that there were more of us awake than there were Oligarchs awake, but it would have been more complex and involved a lot more CFJs. -zefram

Ah come now, the effect is small in this case, and anyway it's not like we're going to run out of numbers, or fill up the Stare Decisis.
