This scam would be pretty dangerous. Initiating 495 excess cases would result 
in at least that many blots if someone pointed a finger at me for it!

Yes, but you could award yourself a single blot as a fine for breaking the 
pledge. But in any case i trust you not to break it regardless.

Upon examination of R2478, I think that falsely declaring a Finger Pointing to 
be Shenanigans may be IMPOSSIBLE, or if not, is certainly ILLEGAL. And that 
would be a violation that the Arbitor _could_ take over the investigation of.

twg, what it’s worth, I think you should stay on. My impeachment attempt
was intended to get you to make a pledge and secondarily to test how
reluctant the Agoran public would be to impeach an officer. I didn’t
actually expect it to go anywhere. You’ve been a pretty good Assesor,
overall, and I, for one, would be happy to see you continue in the office.

Honestly, this rose to the "everyone is tempted and gets one warning"
stage for me.  Maybe accompanied by some sharing of your profit with
Trigon if that's appropriate compensation.

FWIW, I would trust you if you made that pledge.

Theoretically, the pledge has a loophole if you’re the Referee, since you could 
decide any pointer finger regarding that pledge yourself. To make the pledge 
more airtight, you could also pledge that, if you remain as Referee at the time 
any finger is pointed for an alleged violation of the pledge, you would appoint 
the holder of the Arbitor’s office to act on your behalf to be investigator. 
(If you broke THAT pledge, I think that would be a violation related to your 
duties as referee, which the Arbitor could then investigate be announcement.)
