Rule 321 shall be amended to read:

The 'Judge of Nomicapolis' shall be voted for on the first of every month. The Judge may resign the position at any time.

Voting procedure shall be as follows...

The Player that recieves the most votes will become the Judge.
In the event of a tie between 1 or more Players the Player that recieved the most votes first will become the Judge.
Should no votes be cast in a monthly election, the previous judge will retain the title.
If at any time there is not an active Player as Judge a special vote for a new Judge will be immediately conducted
The Judge may be expelled with a supermajority vote.
The decision of the Judge can only be overruled by a unanimous vote of all active players (except the player who was Judge at the time of the decision in question, who shall not vote).

Responsibilities shall be as follows...

The Judge will be responsible for resolving any and all problems with proposals and rules.
The Judge will be expected to use their best judgement and resolve all problems within 7 days.
The Judge shall make a judgement whenever called upon to do so by any active player.
The Judge shall abide by stare decisis.
A new page entitled "Decisions of the Judge" shall be created to hold such decisions, and shall be maintained by the current Judge.
Any Player may accuse another Player of a violation of the rules. The Judge will determine if the accused Player is guilty and, if guilty will determine the punishment. A Player found guilty may ask for a decision to be overruled (in cases such as this neither the judge, accusee, and accuser may vote).
