307: (DRAFT) Amendment of 212

Do we need judges at all?  Why not just put everything to a vote?  *shrugs*  As long as its in the best interest of a vast majority..

Because that would get extremely tedious and slow down the game.

This proposal is certainly an option but it looks ripe for graft. Couple this sytem with a means to transfer points from one player to another and the majority stigma can be eliminated entierly. Without a point transfer system this is little better than leaving judgment in the hands of a majority. Yes the judge can go against the majority but it will cost them. I dont see how this as 'payment' the fact is unless the point leader has a vested interest in the outcome of the judgement they will not elect to act as judge. This system is asking for more trouble than the current system.

I just think points shouldn't be involved at all...a transfer system complicates things even more.  (:

I don't see why a lack of a judgement system would slow the game down any more than it already is - especially considering the fact that we have yet to have an item requiring judgement.

But that doesn't mean the issue won't arise.  Either method, judging or voting, will require a good bit of legislation; I just think it's more efficient to have a Judge who will be the deciding voice, rather than having to stop and take time for voting (and debate, presumably).
