BlogNomic almost actually passed something like that once. We sent someone
over to caution them that such an unfortunate plan would result in an
Agoran invasion (okay, ais actually did it sua sponte, but my version
sounds better).

Wait, BlogNomic legislated that Agora would be destroyed? I don't think that works.

"If this Rule's power exceeds 4.0, then all other rules notwithstanding,
Agora is destroyed."
(Would any other rule need to actually change for such a clause to work
if an outside Power 3 rule is adjusting its power?)

Love it.

You could have a separate power 3 rule that (1) changes the power of
the
Ritual rule and (2) causes itself to be repealed when the Ritual rule is
repealed.
And I’d love to see the power of the Ritual rule increase, too, if the
Rule is left unappeased... and maybe increase at a higher rate than it
can
be decreased?

Actually I've been pondering something even fancier, like every time
it's appeased it decreases in Power and the Power is linked to the
Consent required.  Or something.  (of course you can't increase power
in the same way).

Any chance we can have it repeal with Agoran Consent or something
more
than notice? Or is that excessive? :-)

Actually, one more time.  Empty sacrifices are meaningless.

I withdraw my proposal, The Ritual.

I submit the following proposal, Ritual Sacrifice, AI-1:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a Rule entitled "The Ritual", Power-0.5, with the following
text:

       Any player CAN perform The Ritual by paying a fee of 7 Coins,
thus appeasing
       this Rule for a single instant.  This Rule MUST be appeased
at
least once
       in every Agoran week.

       If this rule has been appeased by The Ritual in 5 successive
       Agoran weeks, then any player CAN banish this rule (cause it
to
       repeal itself) with Notice.
