Successor game rules, draft one.

As we are nearing the beginning of the game, we should do some final checks on the rules to make sure we fix any small tweaks that need to be made. I encourage everyone to look over what is currently posted and comment on anything they think needs to be altered.

One I have already noticed is King's power #12:

(12) Can adjudicate on rule disputes. However, if a rule dispute directly involves the King or the Prince, the Chancellor will be the adjudicator.

This is inherited from the original version of the LotR rules, where it was itself a holdover from KotR. Since that time, we have split the rules apart from IC legislation. I no longer think it is appropriate for the King to adjudicate on rule disputes, since the rules are now inherently OOC in nature. The King should adjudicate all IC disputes, especially conflicts over interpretation of Edicts and Amendments, however I think the GM should be the only person adjudicating disputes about the actual OOC rules themselves.

Agreed. All those in favour say "aye".

Aye.
