Title: Revert 6571
Author: c.
AI: 3.0
II: 1
Chamber: Green
Revert the effects of Proposal 6571.
[As far as I can tell, the only purpose of the proposal was to add
unnecessary verbosity in an attempt to satisfy a technical definition
which doesn't affect the gamestate, based on an over-literal
interpretation of the rules.]

[Adds an urgent catagory]
In Rule 1607 (The Promotor) replace:
Distributability is a proposal switch tracked by the Promotor,
with values Undistributable (default) and Distributable.
In a given Agoran week, the Promotor CAN and SHALL, as part of
eir weekly duties, distribute any proposal that is in the
Proposal Pool and was Distributable at the beginning of that
Agoran week. The Promotor CAN but SHALL NOT, in a given Agoran
week, distribute any proposal that is in the Pool but was
Undistributable at the beginning of that Agoran week, or was
entered into the Pool during that Agoran week.
with:
Distributability is a proposal switch tracked by the Promotor,

Urgent.
The Promotor CAN distribute a proposal in the Proposal Pool
at any time. In a given Agoran week, the Promotor SHALL, as
part of eir weekly duties, distribute any proposal that is in

Promotor SHALL NOT, in a given Agoran week, distribute any
non-urgent proposal in the Pool that was Undistributable or not

Amend Rule 2261 (The Deck of Change) by replacing:

proposal becomes Distributable. Or play
three Distrib-u-Matics in the same message
while indicating a single non-urgent

Amend Rule 1868 (Judge Assignment Generally) by replacing this text:
The entities qualified to be assigned as judge of a judicial
case are the active players,
with this text:
The entities qualified to be assigned as judge of a judicial
case are the active players who have not previously been
recused from it,
[Currently, recused judges are not actually disqualified from being
reassigned to the same case, which may have caused a few inadvertently
illegal rotations of the bench.]

Title: Rest Reform
Author: c.

II: 1
Chamber: Green
[ Allows the judge to specify any number of Rest less than 15 when
judging SILENCE, and when the judgement remains in effect for a
continuous week, any player can create the rests in the possession of
the ninny. I've kept Class-N Crimes in though, as there may still be
cases in which the defendant admits guilt and creates the Rests
straight-away. ]
Amend Rule 1504 (Criminal Cases) by replacing
* SILENCE, a number of Rests, equal to the defined Class of the
Crime or (if the breach is not a defined crime) the power of
the breached Rule, rounded to the nearest integer with ties
broken by rounding up, are created in the possession of the
Ninny. The judge CAN, with 2 Support, set the fine at a
different integral level between one half and double that
amount, and SHOULD attempt to do so if necessary to ensure
that the correlation between the fine and the severity of the
breach is appropriate, or to account for the faith (good or
bad) shown by the Ninny in contesting the notice or in aiding
or obstructing the course of justice.
with:
* SILENCE with a positive number less than 15 (X). If a
judgement of SILENCE has been in effect continuously for one
week (or longer), any player CAN create a number of Rests
equal to X in the possession of the ninny, by announcement.

Chamber: Green
WHEREAS B Nomic is a noble and esteemed nomic which is deservedly the
only nomic which Agora recognizes as 'Friendly', and WHEREAS Agora
deems itself as the superpower of nomics, with an inherent
responsibility to lead the nomic world, and WHEREAS Agora desires to
encourage growth and promotion of the nomic community, and WHEREAS B
Nomic is, as per usual, in a lull, and WHEREAS B Nomic historically
has been revitalized not by the addition of gameplay to its Rules, nor
the creation of dictatorships, but by Agora getting involved:
The Recognition of B Nomic is hereby flipped to Hostile, and a
Power 2 Rule with the following text is hereby enacted:
For the purposes of this Rule, a Potential Invasion Participant
(PIP) is a player who was active at the time this Rule was
enacted.
As soon as possible after the enactment of this Rule, each PIP
SHALL ensure e is an active player of B Nomic, and the Admiral
of the Navy SHALL submit a proposal to B Nomic which, if
enacted, would make B Nomic eligible to be a protectorate of
Agora.
When this proposal is distributed, each PIP SHALL vote FOR it a
number of times equal to eir voting limit on the decision, and
SHALL NOT retract these votes.
As soon as possible after this proposal is ADOPTED, the
Ambassador CAN and SHALL make B Nomic a protectorate by
announcement.
If B Nomic is a protectorate of Agora, any player CAN cause this
Rule to repeal itself by announcement.

Author: c.
AI: 3.0
II: 1
Chamber: Green
Upon the adoption of this proposal, the gamestate becomes what it
would have been if, each time a criminal case's question on culpability
was rendered open again on appeal (except for CFJs 2107 and 2674), its
question on sentencing was also rendered open again at the same time.
[woggle pointed out in these cases that criminal appeals didn't work
the way we thought they did. This proposal establishes a legal fiction
that all the others actually did. I've already submitted a separate
proposal to fix the relevant rule text.]

that position, and has the powers and duties described by
the rules for that position.
b) Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, an instance of that
class CANNOT be created if at least one already exists. If,
despite this clause, more than one instance exists, then the
Dealer for that class SHALL as soon as possible destroy a
randomly selected instance of it.
c) Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, an instance of that
class CANNOT be destroyed except as described by this rule.
d) If no instance of that class exists, or upon a judicial
finding that the possessor of its instance(s) cannot be
determined by reasonable effort, then the Dealer for that
class SHALL as soon as possible destroy all instances of it
and then create an instance in the possession of a randomly
selected active player who bears the Patent Title Champion.
