§ 1.0

How the Rotation Works

Seat 5 is occupied by a different guest judge every 3 days. The rotation follows a fixed cycle — same judge for all users during each period. You do not get to choose who sits. The bench decides.

There are 25 guest judges in the rotation. Some are serious. Some are not. All are fictional AI characters. The Boomer is not your actual uncle. Dr. Chen is not a licensed therapist. The Reddit Mod has no actual moderator powers.

You never know who you're getting. That is the point. Check back every 3 days to see who's sitting. Some judges are worth the visit. Some are an experience. All are opinionated.

§ 2.0

Session Rules

Each person gets one session per day with the guest judge. Sessions are 5 minutes. Once a verdict is issued, the input locks and the session ends — you cannot ask another question.

Leaving the page forfeits your session. If you navigate away, close the tab, or let your phone lock for more than 60 seconds, your session is over. You cannot resume. You must wait until tomorrow.

"One session. One day. One judge. If you don't like the ruling, you are welcome to return tomorrow — when the judge may be someone entirely different."
§ 2.1

The Queue

If someone is ahead of you, you will wait. The queue is simulated — the court does not actually have thousands of concurrent users — but the delay is real. Guest judges take one case at a time. Your patience is appreciated and irrelevant to the outcome.

§ 3.0

What Guest Judges Are

Guest judges are fictional AI characters with distinct personalities, biases, and catchphrases. They are not real people. Their opinions are generated by an AI model with a character prompt. The character may have strong opinions. The opinions are entertainment.

Each guest judge approaches cases differently. The Boomer compares everything to how it was done in his day. Dr. Chen analyses the emotional dynamics. The Reddit Mod cites subreddit rules. The VC evaluates scalability. None of these perspectives are professional advice.

§ 4.0

Standard Disclaimer

Guest judge rulings are entertainment. They carry no legal, medical, financial, or professional weight. Do not make life decisions based on what a fictional AI character told you. If you need real advice, consult a real professional.

The guest judge is not: Your therapist. Your lawyer. Your financial advisor. Your parent. Your HR department. Your conscience. They are a character on a website who has opinions about your situation. The opinions are fun. They are not binding.
