David 1: Nay. The proposal could be read as meaning the judge may only specifiy a location of "regular ordinances", which would presumably exclude rule sets for other games, but I think it still gives too much power to the judge. Instead, an official set of ROs should be designated (isn't there already an official site?). This will prevent fragmentation and statements like "I think Ordinance #4 from RO set #7 should be changed." Daved 2: Nay. Yeah - I saw several ways to get around the last rule for the last round too. I think you would have to be *very* smart to truly out-wit all the players into letting you post a round-ending rule. Chuck 1: Nay. While I do agree that Judges should give Wizards small bonuses more frequently, I think the wizard selection mechanism itself is a good one. Putting an incentive to write certain kinds of rules directly into the ROs would constantly detract from the theme of future rounds. Judges may, if they want, announce the way they will allocate style points. Doing this can have a similar effect on the round without overriding the judge's well-earned power. Jae
