Can a proposal designate a change as a convergence? I worry about "in
accordance with the rules" in R214.
Is there anything wrong with D. Margaux's latest suggestion? I like
the fact that it doesn't try to retroactively change the rule's
history. (Though the retroactive rule change might be harmless, based
on G's research and my hope that nothing requires the Rulekeepor to
change the history or amendment number in the FLR.)
Current draft, based on D. Margaux's latest + a note about convergence:
--------
The gamestate is changed to what it would have been if the text of the
following amendment to Rule 2124 had determined whether Agora was
Satisfied with any dependent action attempted after Proposal 7815,
rather than the text of what Rule 2124 was at that time. To the extent
allowed by the rules, this change is designated as a convergence.
Rule 2124 is amended by replacing its text with the following:
A Supporter of an intent to perform an action is an eligible
entity who has publicly posted (and not withdrawn) support (syn.
"consent") for an announcement of that intent. An Objector to an
intent to perform an action is an eligible entity who has publicly
posted (and not withdrawn) an objection to the announcement of
that intent.
The entities eligible to support or object to an intent to perform
an action are, by default, all players, subject to modification by
the document authorizing the dependent action. However, the
previous sentence notwithstanding, the initiator of the intent is
not eligible to support it.
Agora is Satisfied with an intent to perform a specific action
unless at least one of the following is true:
1. The action is to be performed Without N Objections, and there
are at least N Objectors to that intent.
2. The action is to be performed With N support, and there are
fewer than than N Supporters of that intent.
3. The action is to be performed with N Agoran Consent, and the
number of Supporters of the intent is less than or equal to N
times the number of Objectors to the intent.
The above notwithstanding, if an action depends on objections, and
an objection to an intent to perform it has been withdrawn within
the past 24 hours, then Agora is not Satisfied with that intent.
The above notwithstanding, Agora is not satisfied with an intent
if the Speaker has objected to it in the last 48 hours.
A person CANNOT support or object to an announcement of intent
before the intent is announced, or after e has withdrawn the same
type of response.
