     Distributability is switch possessed by proposals in the
     proposal pool, tracked by the Promotor, with values
     Distributable (default) and Undistributable.

Repeal Rule 2230 (Notices of Violation).

Amend Rule 1504 (Criminal Cases) by replacing the first paragraph with
this text:

     Criminal cases are a subclass of judicial cases.  Any person can

uncontested notice of violation, ", and by removing:

Proposal 7038 (AI=1.7) by scshunt
Judicial Panel Reform

Enact a new power-1.7 rule entitled "Judgments by Judicial Panels" reading
As soon as possible after a judicial panel is assigned to a case, each
     member of the panel SHALL publish an opinion indicating
     a valid judgement to assign to the case -- only the last such
     published opinion for each member is used to determine the
     outcome.  Each member SHOULD choose an appropriate judgement,
     and include arguments for eir choice.

     If, immediately after either all members have so published or
     the time limit for so publishing has ended, a majority of the
     members have opined for the same judgement, the panel acts to
     deliver the judgement in question.  If the panel publishes a
     valid judgement via another mechanism specified in the Rules,
     the requirement for individual members to publish individual
     opinions is waived.

     If an open case is assigned to a judicial panel, and one of
     its members previously published an opinion for that case as
     part of the same or a different judicial panel, then that
     opinion stands for the newly-assigned panel unless the case
     was judged and reopened in the meanwhile.

Enact a new power-1.7 rule entitled "Judicial Appeals Panels" reading
     If the time period for judging an appeals case ends with no
     majority opinion among members of the panel assigned to it,
     then the CotC CAN, and SHALL as soon as possible, by
     announcement cause the panel to judge either REMAND or REMIT
     with or without prejudice, whichever e feels is most
     appropriate. E SHALL NOT assign the case to another panel
     solely due to its failure to judge. These requirements are
     waived if the panel delivers a judgment in the meanwhile.

[I'm removing Concurring and Dissenting opinions; they seem to
 serve little actual purpose since panelists invariably deliver
 arguments with their opinions. Mimicking real courts here is
 silly since there, the majority opinion is in fact a full
 opinion and not just a ruling.]

Amend Rule 911 (Appeal Cases) by deleting
     As soon as possible after a judicial panel is assigned, each
     member of the panel SHALL publish an appeals opinion indicating
     a valid judgement to assign to the case -- only the last such
     published opinion for each member is used to determine the
     outcome.  Each member SHOULD choose an appropriate judgement,
     and include arguments for eir choice.  If prejudice is not
     explicitly specified, then an opinion indicating AFFIRM or
     REMAND implicitly indicates without prejudice, while an opinion
     indicating REMIT or OVERRULE implicitly indicates with
     prejudice.

     If, immediately after either all members have so published or
     the time limit for so publishing has ended, a majority of the
     members have opined for the same judgement, the panel acts to
     deliver the judgement in question.  If the panel publishes a
     valid judgement via another mechanism specified in the Rules,
     the requirement for individual members to publish individual
     opinions is waived.

     If the time period ends with no majority judgement, then the
     CotC CAN, and SHALL as soon as possible, by announcement cause
     the panel to judge either REMAND or REMIT with or without
     prejudice, whichever e feels is most appropriate.

     Any panel member CAN publish a formal Concurring Opinion with
     panel member support, provided that the panel has judged AFFIRM,
     and SHOULD do so if and only if the reasoning by which the prior
     judge reached eir judgement was incorrect in whole or part.  A
     Concurring Opinion SHOULD explain the nature of the error(s) in
     the prior judge's reasoning.  Each Concurring Opinion has an
     error rating, an integer from 1 to 99, with larger numbers
     corresponding to larger errors in reasoning; it CAN be specified
     in the announcement of intent, or else defaults to 50.

     In the week after the panel publishes a valid judgement, any
     panel member CAN publish a formal Dissenting Opinion with
     Support.  This Dissenting Opinion becomes a part of the record
     of the case; it can be used as an aid to help interpret the
     decision.

Proposal 7039 (AI=2) by scshunt
Win by Committee

If the proposal entitled "Judicial Panel Reform" is not to be adopted
by the end of the message in which this proposal is adopted, then
this proposal is of no effect.

Enact a new power-1.7 rule reading
     Victory cases are a subclass of judicial cases. Any person
     believing emself to have satisfied a Victory Condition may
     initiate a victory case with support, indicating the precise
     Victory Condition which e believes to have satisfied and how
     e believes e satisfied it.

     The entities eligible to be assigned as judges of a victory
     case are those judicial panels consisting of three first-class
     players, none of them having called the case or been
     disqualified as below. A player can be disqualified from judging
     a victory case with Agoran Consent. The CotC SHOULD NOT assign
     a panel to a victory case if there is a pending intent to
     disqualify one of its members unless it is clear that the
     intent will fail. Players SHOULD be disqualified only if they
     have a vested interest in the victory, such as having been a
     co-scammer.

     A victory case has a judicial question on ascendancy, which is
     always applicable. The valid judgments for this question are
     GLORY, appropriate if the Victory Condition was satisfied as
     described and a judgment of GLORY has not already been reached
     on an earlier case over substantially the same victory, and
     SHAME, appropriate otherwise.

     When a judgment of GLORY has continuously been in effect for
     two weeks, the caller is deemed to have won the game as
     specified. The Herald shall forthwith award the patent title
     Champion to the winner. Winning the game does not cause
     Agora to end.

[N.B. forthwith means ASAP through a series of definitions you're
 welcome to verify.]

Retitle Rule 2332 (Winning) to (Winning by Points) and amend it to read
     A player CAN destroy 250 points in eir possession to satisfy
     the Victory Condition of Accumulation.

Proposal 7040 (AI=1) by scshunt
Anarchy

Enact a new rule entitled "Anarchy" and reading
     If a player causes the President to cease to be a player,
     then that player satisfies the Victory Condition of Anarchy.

     If the President is ever not a player, any person may register
     em by announcement.

Proposal 7044 (AI=1) by Walker
Bets

Enact a new Rule:

     The betting period for a decision on the adoption of a proposal
     or a degree begins when the proposal or thesis is submitted; the
     betting period for an election begins when the nomination period
     begins. The betting period for each decision ends when the
     decision is initiated.

     During the betting period for a given Agoran Decision, each
     active player (the Better) CAN submit a Bet privately to the
     vote collector for that decision.

     To be valid, a Bet must
     a) consist of an indication of which outcome the Better thinks
        Agora will select in a specified decision,
     b) clearly indicate the number of Points staked in the Bet - a
        number of Points less than or equal to the number of Points
        the Better owns,
     c) not be sent to anyone other than the Better and the vote
        collector,
     d) not be submitted by the vote collector, and
     e) be submitted during the betting period for the decision.

     The validity of a Bet is measured when its betting market is
     resolved. Only the last Bet submitted by each player (which
     would otherwise be valid) is valid.

     Players SHALL NOT reveal the existence or details of any Bet to
     any person other than the vote collector before the betting
     period has finished, except where allowed by this Rule;
     violating this requirement is the Class-6 Crime of Collusion.

     If the vote collector for a decision changes before the decision
     has been resolved, and one or more Bets have been submitted for
     the decision, then the previous vote collector SHALL inform the
     new collector of these Bets and their contents privately, before
     the decision is resolved. The previous vote collector becomes
     eligible to submit Bets for the decision if the betting period
     has not ended, and any previous Bets submitted by the new vote
     collector become invalid.

Enact a new Rule:

     There is a betting market on a decision if
     a) more than one player has submitted a valid Bet on the
        decision,
     b) more than one outcome was Betted on, and
     c) at least one of the Bets was for the correct outcome.

     After a decision has been resolved, the vote collector CAN
     resolve the betting market (if any) on the decision, and SHALL
     do so as soon as possible.

     The resolution of a betting market reveals the outcome betted on
     by each Better, and the number of Points they staked, in valid
     Bets. Upon the valid resolution of a betting market
     a) any Points staked on an incorrect outcome are destroyed
     b) an equal (or less due to rounding) number of Points are
        awarded to the player(s) who Betted on the correct outcome,
        such that the proportion of Points gained by each winning
        Better is directly proportional to the number of Points they
        staked, rounded down as necessary.

     To be valid, the resolution must specify how many Points are
     lost and gained by each Better.

     The resolution of a betting market constitutes a self-ratifying
     claim that the Bets in the resolution are valid, and that no
     other valid Bets were submitted for the decision.

Proposal 7045 (AI=3) by Walker
Speed

[ Gives the Speaker a Big (but not entirely Pointless) Switch; lets
others join in the fun with Agoran Consent. Finds several different
ways of saying the same thing. Possibilities include adding faster or
slower speeds, although not necessarily ones accessible to the
President. ]

Enact a new Power-2 Rule entitled "Speed":

     The Speed switch is a single switch, tracked by the Assessor,
     with values of Slow, Normal (default) and Fast. The Speed switch
     is secured.

     When the Speed has not been changed in the past month, the
     President CAN flip the Speed to Normal or Fast by announcement.
     At any time, players CAN flip it to a given value with Agoran
     Consent. In case of a lull, players CAN flip it to Slow without
     objection.

Amend Rule 1728 (Dependent Actions) by replacing

     a) A person (the initiator) announced intent to perform the
        action, unambiguously and clearly specifying the action and
        method(s) (including the value of N for each method), at
        most fourteen days earlier, and (if the action depends on
        objections or notice) at least four days earlier.

with:

     a) A person (the initiator) announced intent to perform the
        action, unambiguously and clearly specifying the action and
        method(s) (including the value of N for each method), at most
        fourteen days earlier, and (if the action depends on
        objections or notice) at least X days earlier, where X is a
        number which depends on the Speed at the time of intention as
        follows: Slow: 5, Normal: 4, Fast: 2.

Amend Rule 107 (Initiating Agoran Decisions) by replacing

    The publication of such a valid notice initiates the voting
    period for the decision.  By default, the voting period lasts
    for seven days.  The minimum voting period for a decision with
    at least two options is seven days.  The vote collector for a
    decision with less than two options CAN and SHALL end the voting
    period by announcement, if it has not ended already, and
    provided that e resolves the decision in the same message.

with:

     The publication of such a valid notice initiates the voting
     period for the decision. Where {X, Y} is a given Speed followed
     by a number of days, the voting period lasts for Y days when the
     Speed is X at the time of initiation: {Slow, 14}, {Normal, 7},
     {Fast, 5}. The minimum voting period for a decision with at
     least two options is five days.  The vote collector for a
     decision with less than two options CAN and SHALL end the voting
     period by announcement, if it has not ended already, and
     provided that e resolves the decision in the same message.

Amend Rule 2168 (Extending the voting period) by replacing "doubled"
with "increased to 14 days, except if it is already that length".

Amend Rule 2143 (Official Reports and Duties) by replacing

    a) If any task is defined by the rules as part of that office's
       weekly duties, then the holder of that office SHALL perform
       it at least once each week.

with:

     a) If any task is defined by the rules as part of that office's
        weekly duties, then the holder of that office SHALL perform
        it at least once each week, except if the Speed is Slow, in
        which case the duties SHALL be completed once each fortnight.

Amend Rule 1023 (Common Definitions) by replacing

    (a) The phrases "in a timely fashion" and "as soon as possible"
        mean "within seven days".  A requirement to perform an
        action at an exact instant (e.g.  "when X, Y SHALL Z"), but
        not "in the same message", is instead interpreted as a
        requirement to perform that action in a timely fashion after
        that instant.

with:

     (a) The phrases "in a timely fashion" and "as soon as possible"
         mean "within X days", where X is 14 when the Speed is Slow,
         7 when it is Normal and 5 when it is Fast. This time period
         is set when the requirement is created (ie. X days before
         the limit ends). A requirement to perform an action at an
         exact instant (e.g.  "when X, Y SHALL Z"), but not "in the
         same message", is instead interpreted as a requirement to
         perform that action in a timely fashion after that instant.

Proposal 7046 (AI=1) by Walker
The Machine

     There exists an abstract entity called the Machine. The
     Machinekeepor is an office, and tracker of the Machine. The
     Machine possesses a switch, the Power Switch, tracked by the
     Machinekeepor, with values of On and Off (default).

     The Machine possesses a switch, the Magic switch, tracked by the
     Machinekeepor, with values of Magic and More Magic (default).
     Whenever the Magic switch is set to Magic, the Power switch is
     set to Off immediately and CANNOT be flipped.

     If the Magic switch is set to More Magic, the Machinekeepor CAN
     flip the Power switch to On by announcement. The Machinekeepor
     CAN flip the Power switch to Off by announcement.

No frivolous appeals

     A person SHALL NOT appeal a judgement (except on a question of
     sentencing) unless e reasonably believes that the judgement
     might be inappropriate.

Proposal 7050 (AI=2) by omd
No more warp drive

[The ability to appeal culpability and sentencing separately has not
gotten much actual use, and as Yally has shown, is quite scammable in
a way that would require even more boilerplate to fix.  May as well
slim things down by getting rid of judicial questions entirely.]

Retitle Rule 2158 (Judicial Questions) to Judges, and amend it to read:

     At any time, each judicial case is either open (default),
     suspended, or has exactly one judgement.  This is a persistent
     status that changes only according to the rules.  The possible
     types of judgement for a judicial case depend on the type of
     case.

     When a judicial case is open and has a judge assigned to it, the
     judge CAN assign a valid judgement to it by announcement, and
     SHALL do so as soon as possible, unless e is recused from the
     case before the time limit for doing so has expired.  A judge
     SHOULD NOT assign an inappropriate judgement to any judicial
     case.  A judgement is valid and/or appropriate only as defined
     by the rules.  Defining these things is secured, with a power
     threshold of 1.7.  If more than one judgement is valid and
     appropriate, then the choice between them is left to the judge's
     discretion.

     When a non-appeal judicial case is open, and its judge has
     violated a time limit to assign a judgement to it, or is not an
     active player, the Clerk of the Courts SHALL recuse that judge
     with cause by announcement as soon as possible; however, this
     requirement is waived if the judge assigns a judgement to it
     first.

Amend Rule 1868 (Judge Assignment Generally) by replacing:

     At any time, a judicial case either does not require a judge
     (default) or requires a judge.  This is not a persistent status,
     but is evaluated instantaneously.

     When a judicial case requires a judge and has no judge assigned,
     the CotC CAN assign a qualified entity to be its judge by
     announcement, and SHALL do so as soon as possible.

with:

     When a judicial case is open and has no judge assigned, the CotC
     CAN assign a qualified entity to be its judge by announcement,
     and SHALL do so as soon as possible.

Amend Rule 2164 (Judicial Self-Recusal and Case Transfer) by replacing
"a judicial question in that case" with "that case".

Amend Rule 649 (Patent Titles) by replacing "judicial question" with
"judicial case".

Amend Rule 1769 (Holidays) by replacing "judicial question" with
"judicial case".

Amend Rule 991 (Judicial Cases Generally) by replacing "that either
require a judge or have at least one applicable judicial question that
has no judgement" with "without a judgement".

Amend Rule 591 (Inquiry Cases) by replacing:

     An inquiry case has a judicial question on veracity, which is
     always applicable.  The valid judgements for this question are
     as follows, based on the truth or falsity of the statement at
     the time the inquiry case was initiated:

IRRELEVANT" with "judicial case", and by replacing "judgement of the
question in an inquiry case" with "judgement of an inquiry case".

Amend Rule 1504 (Criminal Cases) by replacing:

     A criminal case has a judicial question on culpability, which is
     applicable at all times following the call for judgement.  The
     valid judgements for this question are:

with:

     The valid judgements for a criminal case are as follows:

and by replacing "GUILTY, appropriate if" with "GUILTY with a valid
sentence, appropriate if", and by moving the paragraph about
recreating points to the end of the rule, and by replacing:

     A criminal case has a judicial question on sentencing, which is
     applicable if the question on culpability is applicable and has
     a judgement of GUILTY.  If a criminal case has an applicable
     question on sentencing which has a judgement, the Accused is
     hereafter known as the ninny, the judgement in the question on
     sentencing is known as the sentence, and the sentence is in
     effect.

with:

     When a sentence has been assigned as part of a GUILTY judgement,
     the Accused is known as the ninny, and the sentence is in
     effect.

and by replacing "one destruction or transfer per question on
sentencing" with "one destruction or transfer per case".

Amend Rule 2277 (Appeals of Criminal Cases) by removing:

     Unless otherwise specified, an appeal of a judgement in a
     criminal case is assumed to be appealing the question of
     culpability.

     When a judgement on a criminal case's question of culpability is
     suspended, the judgement (if any) on its question of sentencing
     is also suspended.  Afterward, if the first judgement is
     assigned again, then so is the second.

Amend Rule 2318 (Motions to Reconsider) by replacing "question" with "case".

Amend Rule 911 (Appeal Cases) by replacing

     An appeal case has a judicial question on disposition, which is
     applicable if and only if the prior question is applicable.  The
     valid judgements for the question on disposition are of the form
     "<action> with prejudice" or "<action> without prejudice".  Such
     a judgement is generally appropriate if and only if
