The reason for "higher" rather than "lower" is that it makes it possible to overwrite-by-adding if necessary.

Also going to have to say no to this, largely because it's been station policy that law order means nothing on Goon and I still have to argue the point with people once every other round. Suddenly reversing the policy on this would just confuse people, especially sporadic players who don't keep up with everything. You lose nothing with the current system - people can still follow the laws in numerical order if there's no explicit override order.

Totally valid point. If there's conflicts or ambiguity in it generally it's up to the AI to resolve them itself, so it teaches you to upload "good" laws when the AI finds all sorts of loopholes. As long as it's consistent then I see no problem with not having an inherent system in place.

The rest of my stuff regarding differently numbered boards stands, though.
