“the Dealer should then post the Fine to the game at their earliest convenience” has no effect, as it updates neither the ruleset nor the gamestate.

Not sure we need this, though. The existing “end games after 24 hours silence” CfJ is at 5-3 with three players (Clucky, Cuddlebeam, Darknight) left to vote. If it fails The Smouldering Cigar will end the Brendan-Darknight game later today, if the queue can be cleared. People should remember to try to vote on everything.

Sure, but it doesn’t need to: making the game closed enables you to do that anyway so at worst it’s superfluous language.

All of the CfJs that have been raised so far have gotten enmired in a tedious wrangle about how many hours is the right number for timing out. My hope is that this one can pass quicker due to more limited effect. If it turns out not to be necessary then so be it, but a sanguine “people should remember to try to vote on everything” is probably insufficient, as they are evidently not.

Not a fan of counting it as a win when I got nothing for a draw.

sorry, I didn’t get any warning prior

Given that Darknight is back and intending to play.

This now has not effect.
