Title: $$$$ Author: Gaelan AI: 1 Create the power-1 rule “$$$” with this text: ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ The Bankor is an office, responsible for tracking $$$. Gaelan is the initial Bankor, and SHALL retain this office for at least 30 days. $$$ is a entity switch, tracked by the Bankor in eir weekly report, with possible values being all rational, non-negative numbers. For an entity to gain X $$$ is to have its $$$ incremented by X. For an entity to lose X $$$ is to have their $$$ decremented by X. Any player MAY, by announcement, give another entity any amount of $$$ less than or equal than the amount of $$$ they have. If they do so, they lose that amount of $$$, and the other entity gains that amount of $$$. No rule may cause the total of all $$$ switches to change, unless this only occurs momentarily. Any player may, without objection, cause this rule to amend the ruleset, replacing all instances of ‘$$$’ with the text they specify. They may not do so if this has already been done in the last 30 days. It is ILLEGAL to refer to $$$ by any name other than one it has had in the past hour. Players SHOULD object to the renaming of $$$ very sparingly. [To prevent scams or swear words, probably] Each office has a salary, which is a natural number. The salary of each office is 1, except as otherwise defined by rule. The salary of Rulekeepor, of Speaker, and of Prime Minister is 2. The salary of Promotor is 4. Each player has a salary, equal to the total salary of all eir offices or the value of this rule’s $$$ switch, whichever is lower. Any player may, by announcement, claim eir salary. This causes this rule to lose an amount of $$$ equal to the eir salary, and the player to gain the same amount of $$$. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ [ $$$ being an entity switch means that rules can hold money. This allows rules to act as “banks” holding money used in their operation. I am trying to create a realistic economy, where there is a limited pool of money. If we ever do need to print more money, we can do so with a proposal. I will probably vote AGAINST such a proposal. :) ] Amend Rule 2445, “How to Pend a Proposal,” to have this text: ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Imminence is a switch, tracked by the Promotor, possessed by proposals in the Proposal Pool, whose value is either "pending" or "not pending" (default). A player can flip a proposal's imminence to "pending" by announcement. If e does so, he loses 20 $$$, the rule ‘$$$’ gains 10 $$$, and the proposal gains 10 $$$. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Amend Rule 1607, “Distribution,” by appending the following text: ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ If a player votes in the Agoran decision on a proposal, they lose 1 $$$ and the proposal gains 1 $$$. If this would cause the player to have negative $$$, the vote is INEFFECTIVE. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Amend Rule 106, “Adopting Proposals,” by appending the following text to the first paragraph [what happens when a proposal succeeds]: ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ The author of the proposal gains an amount of $$$ equal to the proposal’s $$$, and the proposal has its $$$ reset to 0. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Amend Rule 106, “Adopting Proposals,” by appending the following text to the second paragraph [what happens when a proposal fails]: ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ The rule ‘$$$’ gains an amount of $$$ equal to the proposal’s $$$, and the proposal has its $$$ reset to 0. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Every player who votes on this proposal [not necessarily FOR] gains 100 $$$. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ > On Aug 14, 2015, at 4:19 PM, Kerim Aydin <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Fri, 14 Aug 2015, Gaelan Steele wrote: >> $$$ is a entity switch, tracked by the Bankor in eir weekly report, with >> possible values being all rational, non-negative numbers. >> >> [This being an entity switch means that rules can hold money.
