New draft of the regulations (the base Agoran't rules seem fine to me?)
Changes:
- Clarifying how changes occur (we're just gonna use the Agoran rules, )
- applied G's suggestion to slightly reduce first-mover advantage.
- added "and quorum is initially set to half the number of participants."
- added a role to foil the Spoiler-Employee dynamic ("Errorer"): their goal
is to get CoE's, so it will be a little annoying that CoE's will be
purposefully made now and again, which might be better? Thoughts welcome on
this... Would the implementation be that this is an early game role, in
that somehow CoE's get proposed away? IDK...
- added "All players are considered to have made eir last announcement at
the time the alarm sounds"
- Updated Winning to specify ossification, and ensure it is orderly and
within Agoran dictated timeframes.
- referenced a link for the Agoran't initial SLR instead of an attachment.============= I. Amendments ============= Any participant can propose changes to these regulations. However, under the current Agoran ruleset, actual amendments to these regulations are governed by Agoran Rule 2495, which stated, "These regulations may thereafter be amended only by the Herald or eir designee Without 3 Objections." (and this may have been changed, or may be changed in the interim/proceedings, via the Agoran ruleset.) =========== II. Joining =========== Any person CAN become a participant by announcement anytime before the alarm has been sounded. Any participant CAN cease to be a participant by announcement. ========== III. Roles ========== The following are the Roles and their corresponding win conditions: Protector - Agoran't is not ossified at any point in time between the beginning of Agoran't and the end of this contest. Destroyer - At any point in time before the contest ends, Agoran't was ossified. Metawinner - Have the most wins within Agoran't at the moment immediately before the contest ends. Adder - Agoran't has 5+ more rules than it did initially, immediately before the contest ends. Subtracter - Agoran't has 5+ less rules than it did initially, immediately before the contest ends. Employee - Have published the most successfully ratified reports, immediately before the contest ends. Errorer - Receive the most objections to reports immediately before the contest ends. Spoiler - If the only other participants that would win are Protectors or Destroyers, the Spoiler also wins. The Available Roles are the first N roles on the following list, where N is the number of participants at Role Assignment. If there are more participants than roles, cycle through the list of roles until N is met. List: Protector, Destroyer, Adder, Subtracter, Destroyer, Metawinner, Destroyer, Employee, Errorer, Spoiler. ======================= IV. Rules and Gamestate ======================= When the alarm is sounded, the following occur: Agoran't begins with the ruleset in this message: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg45212.html In the context of Agoran't, the publicity of "https://agoranomic.groups.io/g/agorant"; is set to "public". All participants of this contest become players of Agoran't. Quorum is initially set to half the number of participants. All players are considered to have made eir last announcement at the time the alarm sounds. All unmentioned switches have their default value(s). The results of all CFJs that have been judged in Agora are considered "past judgments" in Agoran't. ============ V. Beginning ============ If it has been 7 days since the beginning of this contest and e has not already done so, the Gamemaster and two other chosen players CAN and SHALL distribute roles to each participant such that only available roles are given out, each participant receives a role, and nobody knows who received which role. When the Gamemaster is confident this has occurred, e CAN once and SHALL, in a timely manner, "set the alarm" by announcement. The alarm is sounded at the beginning of the first day that starts 24 hours or more after the alarm is set. ====================== VI. Ending and Winning ====================== Ossification, for the purposes of winning the tournament, is taken to mean: "Agoran't is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary rule changes to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted within a real-world (UTC) four-week period, if the tournament were to continue until the end of time." When Agoran't is judged (within Agora) to be ossified, or when 1 second less than 90 days have passed since the initiation of this tournament, the following occur, in order: - All participants SHOULD reveal eir roles, and all participants whose role's win condition have been fulfilled win the tournament. - this tournament ends. - Agoran't SHOULD stop running when the tournament ends. -- 4ˢᵗ Deputy Herald and Deputy Prime Minister Uncertified Bad Idea Generator
