Explicitly empowered, please--you've seen the headaches new players
can try to cause when they run up against things that aren't spelled
out but all the oldbies understand.

In any event, the Roster ceased recognizing the existence of the Upper
House, let alone the fact that it had members, before the latest
revisions to CFIs--even if it's not considered to have been recreated,
unless someone with the power to do so'd like to declare otherwise
(and furnish a list of the current members of the Upper House :P),
it's empty until the end of the nweek. As Attorney Generalist I'd also
like to point out that if I still don't have any Eligible Judges for
my CFI at the start of next nweek I may be forced to do something
drastic. And if my CFI remains unnumbered until the next Checkpoint,
I'll be very unhappy. (Could someone remind me if I'm supposed to be
doing this in general? I /can't/ in this case I know, Rule 5.
"Identification numbers for Calls for Judgment cannot be specified by
the Players creating them." [Plus I could argue, if I am Deputized to
handle that, that that information should've been on the Roster, and
the Roster hasn't had that either, except I imagine Wonko would rather
quickly point out that e prevented the effect without telling us.])
