There shall be a sole Judge, responsible for resolving rules disputes. An incumbent Judge can be removed with the assent of two players, but they should not be removed except for abuse of office. A person can cease being the Judge by publicly stating so.

There shall be a sole Judge, responsible for resolving rules disputes. An incumbent Judge can be removed with the assent of two players, but they should not be removed '''in this manner''' except for abuse of office.. A person can cease being the Judge by publicly stating so.

A request for justice shall take the form of a question or statement. The proper response to a question is an answer to that question, and the proper response to a statement is the truth value of that statement.

Upon formal submission of a request for justice by a person other than themself in #request-for-justice, the Judge shall, as quickly as possible, issue a response to the request. This response shall be binding only to the extent that it reasonably directly pertains to the request, and only to the extent that it does not blatantly and obviously contradict rules text while still considering the expressed or clearly implied legislative intent.

Upon formal submission of a request for justice by a person other than themself in #request-for-justice, the Judge can and shall, as quickly as possible, issue a response to the request in ⁠#request-for-justice. This response shall be binding only to the extent that it reasonably directly pertains to the request, and only to the extent that it does not blatantly and obviously contradict rules text while still considering the expressed or clearly implied legislative intent.

Within 4 days of a judge issuing a ruling, a public vote of confidence on that ruling can be initiated in #request-for-justice. Votes may be cast in such a vote for a period of 2 days after initiation. Votes are to be cast by 👍 or 👎 reactions on a clearly designated poll message; if a person's vote is unclear, it is to affirm the judgement. A ruling is overturned if strictly more players vote in favor of overturning than affirming.

Line 68:

Line 67:

Any reputable player may become a candidate for the Judge by sending a message in the channel #judge-elections. If there are any Judge candidacies put forward during a week, the player whose message is both popular and has the most 👍 reactions from players becomes the Judge once that week ends. A Judge Candidacy message is popular if it has more 👍 than 👎 reactions from players on its initiating message. Ties are broken in favor of the player with the earliest text message during that week.

If no judge candidacies are put forward during a week, then the incumbent judge retains their position.

=== Garbage ===

Garbage effects cannot change gamestate prior to the phase in which the Garbage is used.

Garbage effects cannot change gamestate prior to the phase in which the Garbage is used. Each row in the table below defines an item alongside it's description. If the effect of one of these items cannot be determined, it instead does nothing, because it is garbage.

==== MacGyvering ====

Once per phase, a player can MacGyver by posting to #⁠game-actions and specifying 2 different items in their possession, then granting themselves a random item defined by Garbage. This destroys the specified items.

=== Wheel Rotation ===

Wheel rotation is an integer that tracks the rotation of the wheel spaces within the board's main loop. If the wheel rotation is less than 0, then 40 is automatically added to the wheel rotation. If the wheel rotation is greater than 39, then 40 is automatically subtracted from it.

If the wheel rotation is greater than 39, then 40 is automatically subtracted from it. For wheel rotation WR, the following connections should exist:

For wheel rotation WR, the following connections should exist:

* Space 204 precedes space WR.

Line 312:

* Space 219 precedes space (WR+30) mod 40.

* Space -204 succeeds space -WR.

* Space -205 precedes space (-WR+10) mod 40.

* Space -205 precedes space -((WR+10) mod 40).

* Space -210 precedes space (-WR+20) mod 40.

* Space -210 precedes space -((WR+20) mod 40).

* Space -219 succeeds space (-WR+30) mod 40.

* Space -219 succeeds space -((WR+30) mod 40).

When the value of wheel rotation changes, remove successors from spaces as specified by the list above, using the previous value of the wheel rotation as WR, then add successors as specified by the list above using the current value of the wheel rotation as WR.
