Title: Properly Prioritized Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: G.
[I've gone with making this an "honest" popularity system, not affected
by manipulatable mechanics such as proposal strength.]
Amend the rule entitled "Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege"
by changing it to read in full:
For an Agoran decision on whether to adopt a proposal, let F be the total
number of valid ballots resolving to FOR, A be the same for AGAINST,
and T be the total number of valid ballots. The decision's popularity
is equal to (F - A)/T. The Assessor SHOULD publish the popularity of each
decision when resolving it.
The player who proposed the adopted proposal such that the decision on whether
to adopt it had the greatest popularity, among all such decisions assessed in
the last 7 days CAN once earn one Legislative Card by announcement, provided
that no decision on whether to adopt any proposal distributed in the same
message remains unresolved. If there is a tie, all authors of the tied
proposals can do so once each.

Title: Referenda
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors:
Amend Rule 1607, "Distribution", by replacing:
Determining whether to adopt a proposal is an Agoran decision. For
this decision, the vote collector is the Assessor, the adoption
index is initially the adoption index of the proposal, or 1.0 if
the proposal does not have one, and the text, author, coauthors,
class and (if applicable) chamber of the proposal are essential
parameters. Initiating such a decision is known as distribution,
and removes the proposal from the Proposal Pool.

one Legislative Card by announcement, provided that no referendum
initiated in the same message as it remains unresolved. If there is a tie,

Otherwise:
Amend the rule entitled "Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege" by
changing the text "provided that no decision on whether to adopt any proposal
distributed in the same message remains open." to read "provided that
no referendum initiated in the same message remains open."

decision of whether
to adopt a proposal was resolved as FAILED QUORUM in the last seven days"

Title: Vote Manipulation
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Aris
Co-author(s):
[Gaming popularity isn't fun or interesting. This way, people at least have to
go to the effort of hiding what they're doing.]
If the proposal "Properly Prioritized Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege"
has passed, amend the rule entitled "Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege"
by appending at the end of the first paragraph:
A player SHALL NOT cast a ballot or induce another person to do so in a
way primarily intended to affect popularity. Doing so is the Class-2
Crime of Vote Manipulation.
