Voting results for Proposals 6648 - 6668:

[This notice resolves the Agoran decisions of whether to adopt the
 following proposals.  For each decision, the options available to
 Agora are ADOPTED (*), REJECTED (x), and FAILED QUORUM (!).]

[Exception:  I'm pretty sure "6653" wasn't actually a proposal -
did the Promotor ever respond to the CoE? - but if it was, then its
voting period was extended for lack of quorum, so I vote 1xAGAINST
and resolve it as failing.]

Title: Better Degree Awarding
Author: Yally
AI: 1.0
II: 1
Chamber: Red

Amend Rule 1367 (Degrees) in the following ways:

Change the text reading:

      - Each player's voting limit on the decision is three, plus five
for each
        degree e held at that time (the high limit is so as to allow
        a player to cast votes for different titles and ensure that
        an inappropriate title is not awarded).


to read:

     - Each player's voting limit on the decision is one.

Add the following text to the bulleted list:

     - Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the outcome of the
       decision is the highest degree such that more than half of the
       valid votes selected that degree or a lower degree. If no such
       degree exists, the outcome is FAILING GRADE.

       When creating proposals, the person who creates them SHOULD
       ensure that the proposal outlines changes to be made to Agora,
       such as enacting, repealing, or amending rules, or making other
       explicit changes to the gamestate. When a proposal that includes
       such explicit changes takes effect, those changes are applied to
       the gamestate.

Title: Fix Winning and Losing Conditions
Author: Murphy
AI: 2.0
II: 1
Chamber: Green

Amend Rule 2186 (Victory) to read:

       Winning Conditions and Losing Conditions are conditions defined
       as such by the rules.  If such a condition is defined by the
       rules as being satisfied when an event occurs (as opposed to
       being satisfied while certain other conditions hold), then it
       thereafter continues to be satisfied until the rules explicitly
       say otherwise.

       When one or more persons satisfy at least one Winning Condition
       and do not satisfy any Losing Conditions, all such persons win
       the game.  The game CANNOT be won in any other way, rules to the
       contrary notwithstanding.

       Each Winning Condition should (if needed) specify a cleanup
       procedure to prevent an arbitrary number of wins arising from
       essentially the same conditions.  When one or more persons win
       the game:

         a) For each Winning Condition satisfied by at least one of
            those persons, its cleanup procedure (if any) occurs.

         b) Each of those persons ceases to satisfy any Winning
            Conditions.

       A win announcement is a factually correct announcement
       explicitly labeled as a win announcement and/or clearly stating
       that one or more persons win the game.

       Renaissance.

with this text:

       If this rule mentions at least six different specific colors for
       Ribbons, then upon a win announcement that one or more players
       each possess at least one Ribbon of each such color, all those
       players satisfy the Winning Condition of Renaissance.

       Cleanup procedure:  For each of those players, one Ribbon of each
       such color in eir possession is destroyed.

               (June 30, 1993, 00:04:30 GMT +1200) or an instant at which
               at least one person won the game.  When used as a period
               of time, a "game" is the period of time between a pivot
               and the next pivot.
