Whilst it is important to encourage players to be Judges, it seems that at
present the Standard Case Fee is set a little too high. I therefore intend,
without three objections, to set the Standard Case Fee to 40.
I also submit the following proposal:
{ Good Judgement (AI 2, proposal fee Y50)
Amend Rule 2403 (Judicial Fees) to read:
The CotC CAN award Yaks by announcement, but SHALL NOT do so
except as required by the Rules.
As soon as possible after a player or an appeals panel judges a
judicial case within any time limits for doing so, the CotC
SHALL award A Yaks to the player or B Yaks to each member of the
judicial panel, where
a) A is equal to the value of the Standard Case Fee, a Budget
Switch, and
b) B is equal to the value of the Standard Appeal Fee, a Budget
Switch,
except if the judge in question has already assigned a judgement
to the same case previously.
In the week after a judgement is assigned to an appeals case of
the form "<action> with prejudice", any player CAN destroy any
Yaks the prior judge was awarded for the prior judgement by
announcement; the CotC is ENCOURAGED to do so.
