Agg, it appears to have disappeared.. me thinks. I think they took the
list off because Judges can no longer appply to hold games at GenCon.
Anyway, it was about 3 screen-lengths of rules regarding things you
shouldn't do while holding a game. Things like:

Don't portray drugs, violence, breaking the law, rape, etc in a good way.
Don't portray cops, government, religions, different ethnic groups
and whatnot in a bad way.
Also, don't use demons and such. =)

Basically, it seemed like it was all there to cover their asses in case
of a lawsuit from some angry parent or whatever. It was all pretty silly
and made it seem like you had to have a bunch of priests preaching the
way of boredom to their equally-boring deciphals. I think Fro saw this
a few months ago too, so he might have the list, being the ultra-tidy-
save-everything kind of guy he is.

Unfortuneately, his monitor is/was broke, so... <shrug>
