The Good Judge
An idea by Seba
Helped out by Ichigo

Judges shall as soon as the enactment of this petition be allowed to help Egypt settle disputes that do not inherently require instant banishment from Egypt. Judges shall have certain powers that will help them enable these decisions, and shall be accountable for their actions if a Judge shall abuse these new powers.

Below sets out the processes of becoming and leaving the rank of Judge and must be followed without question.

§ Positions:

Throughout Egypt, two Judges per Region are needing to be filled. As soon as the enactment of this Petition has been accepted, Players are able to start to fill the positions posted around Egypt.

§ Appointment:

At the opening of this Petition, requests for players across Egypt shall be asked to visit a University of Leadership to collect a Petition of Judgment. This Petition will allow it holder to collect 50 signatures that will accept this Judge as a person of 'Good sound nature to govern Egyptian Laws'.

When a Petitioner obtains 50 signatures, he or she returns the Petition to a University of Leadership, and may be recognised as one of the first Judges of Egypt.

When the call is issued the first 52 Players who met these standards will be entitled to an Egyptian wide vote to choose 26 of these Players to earn the title. Instead of one big vote, the game shall split the players into two groups by random means. From the first group player must chose 13 Players that are of 'Good sound nature', and reject the rest. The second group follows two weeks after the first, in which the same process is repeated.

For when vacancies arise and how to start and settle the replacement process please refer to §Vacancies.

§ Voting:

A petitioner whom has met the criteria of §Appointment, proceeds to an Egyptian wide vote system. Players of a paid status may vote in a Judge by using a YES/NO system. The question being answered is:

"Do you believe {PlayerName} to be of good sound character, and will govern Egyptian Laws without bias?"

To be accepted as a Judge, the Players who are running to become a Judge must obtain enough YES votes to proceed and become an actual Judge.

In an event of a tie, that would see to many Judges become elected, the lowest place where a tie happens shall be recast. This means a new different vote is needed. Players again have three Egyptian Days to vote in from the tied players who is needed. How many Judges are needed to fill all positions shall be chosen from this tie ballot.

§ Vacancies:

When one or more Vacancies have opened, current Judges are able to start a new wave of Votes. Judges visit a University of Leadership and say how many Judges they require, once submitted Players are again able start the process of become a Judge.

The only exception is that instead of having a number cut off point, players are given one (earth) week to get enough votes to be placed on an Egypt wide vote. If there is enough positions to fill what is needed, or not enough players needed, they are automatically accepted as a Judge.

§ Duty:

A Judge shall have a Duty to provide Egypt with solutions to make peace where others have done a wrong. While there are currently no laws governing what laws a Judge may follow, it is considered that a Judge must follow where possible all Code of Conducts created by players.

Where there is obvious differences in what a Code of Conduct states, the Judge has final rule over which Code of Conduct to choose. The reason(s) for this choice do not need to be known by public members, but it should be considered best to share this information publicly.

§ Powers:

Move Structures:
Any structure dependent on its location (ie Mines), or belonging to a Test (ie Obelisks), or relating to a compound of any size may not be moved.

Destruction of Structures:
Structures are able to be torn down in which are not for the purposes of completing a Test (ie Obelisks). Developers at the time of the Petition are allowed to veto current structures as they please, new structures will hopefully have a discussion on whether or not it is allowed to be torn down Judges.

Exile to Prison:
"Prison" shall be used to force players that are either needing to collect resources, or require to serve a time (non-permanent) away from Egypt in a location that the exiled player is not able to interact with Egypt. Judges also get free travel into the Prison Realm.

§ Retirement:

Any Judge may retire at any point from their reign of Power. To do this, a Judge Visits a University of Leadership and applies to leave the Council. Having provided a confirmation of inputting test into a dialog box they are removed from Council and are not allowed to join the Council at a later stage.

Retired Judges lose all powers except the ability to travel to the Prison Realm free of charge. They are also able to help maintain the Prison realm and still create needed structures provided they are inside the Realm.

§ Removal of a Judge:

Removal of a Judge requires a Petition to be collected from the University of Leadership, where the person must collect 50 votes to have the Judge stripped of all their powers once handed into a University of Leadership.

A Judge that has been stripped of their Power loses all their powers, including the title and may never run for election of a Judge again.

§ Prison:

Prison is a new realm created for Judges. Judges have the ability to visit the island free of any travel costs. Judges have the power to Exile both Trial and Paid players to this realm if found guilty of a crime and it is discovered that a prison sentence is needed.

The realm itself will have a self-sufficient work space. Common 'wild' Resources will be available in the Realm. Judges shall when inside of the Prison Realm, be allowed to create structures of any kind in the realm free of charge. These structures shall be excepted from all environmental damages.

{If possible it may be required for a Judge to sentence a Player to collect X amount of Ore of a certain metal (perhaps needing to make the metal as well) it would be wonderful if possible that the Judge could build mines of a certain type in the realm without the need of the vein below it - but this isn't needed.}

Nothing is allowed to be brought into the realm by Judge, Exiled, or Visitor. Nothing is allowed to leave the realm.

It a the Judges responsibility to remove an exiled player from the realm. It is not automatic.

The maximum time spent in the Prison realm shall never exceed longer than three real life weeks.
