PROPOSAL TEXT:
Create the following
Rule, Power 4
{
Whereas B has seen fit to honor Agora by copying the Agoran ruleset,
and
Whereas B, from December 10th, 2007 to October 6th, 2009, is
believed to have been the most stable nomic in existence, and
Whereas B has, once in the past, looked to us for protection from
itself,
Be it here declared that Agora now turns to B.
Agora submits to B Nomic as its protectorate. Any protective
decree of B Nomic that targets this nomic takes effect as specified
by the rules of B Nomic. This rule takes precedent over any and
all other rules contradicting it.

PROPOSAL TEXT:
Create a new Power-1 Rule which reads as follows:
As allowed by Rule 683, this rule places the following
constraints on the validity of ballots: A ballot is invalid
unless it was submitted by comex, ais523, or coppro.
So that I will have the opportunity to rubberstamp decisions
before they can be democratized:
a) comex CAN transfer a Card to emself by announcement.
b) comex CAN make emself the Promotor by announcement.
c) comex CAN end an election by announcement. (No Agoran
Decision is initiated.)

CHAMBER: Purple
PROPOSAL TEXT:
Create a new Power-4 Rule which reads as follows:
comex is the Dictator. comex CAN cause any modification to the
gamestate by announcement, including a retroactive modification.
comex CAN act on behalf of any entity by announcement.
This rule takes precedence over all other rules. If any change
to the gamestate would cause any document to supersede this one,
or cause any change in the effect or attributes of this rule,
including its repeal or dissolution, or in any other way prevent
this rule from having its full effect or comex from performing
any action, it is cancelled and does not occur. If this rule
already fails to have its full effect due to a rule, that rule
is repealed.
Entities SHALL NOT attempt to prevent this rule from having its
full effect. If they do, comex CAN banish them by announcement.
A banished entity CANNOT affect the gamestate by sending
messages.
Repeal Rule 1698.

COMMENTS:
Basically, the idea is that everyone builds up a set of rules gradually,
then they can be joined together into a coherent form and enacted by
proposal. When this happens, the contributors to the amalgam proposal
are rewarded - the high reward for authorship of a Defragmentation
Proposal is intended to encourage competition in writing those
proposals.
No mechanism exists to remove individual Fragments, as bad Fragments
simply will not get added to proposal Inodes, or else the proposal will
not be adopted. Likewise, proposals that abuse the spirit of this rule
will not be adopted.
Some of the wording is bad, but I would rather enact this and start
encouraging Fragment-based gameplay right away and fix it later.
I'm upping Leadership Tokens so that they can actually destroy Rests;
the 1.9 number was picked because 2 is too high but I don't want
Leadership Tokens to rely on a Rule of lower power to be the
recordkeepor.
PROPOSAL TEXT:
Enact a new Rule with power 1.9, entitled "Fragments", with the
following text:
{{
If
- e has not already done so, or
- if at least two other players done so so e last did so, or
- three days have passed since e last did so,
a player may publish a Fragment. A Fragment SHOULD be a short
(possibly as small as a sentence) body of text intended to become
a portion of a Rule. A new Fragment SHOULD bear some relation to
existing Fragments.
The Granulator is an office, and eir weekly report includes a
listing of all Fragments.
Fragments have ID numbers, to be assigned by the Granulator.
The Granulator CAN, without 3 Objections, cause all Fragments to
cease to be Fragments.
}}
Enact a new Rule with power 1.9, entitled "Defragmentation Proposals"
with the following text:
{{
When submitting a Proposal, it is a Defragmentation Proposal if
all of the following conditions are met:
- In the same message in which it is submitted, the author
explicitly states that e intends it to be a Defragmentation
Proposal.
- In the same message in which it is submitted, the author lists
at least 4 Fragments, each of which would have their text
added to the Ruleset were the Proposal to take effect. These
Fragments make up the Proposal's Inode.
A player CAN, without objection from the Proposal's author, add a
Fragment to a Defragmentation Proposal's Inode if, were the
Proposal adopted, that Fragment's text would be added to the
Ruleset.
On an Agoran Decision to adopt a Defragmentation Proposal, the
list of Fragments in the Proposal's Inode along with their
authors is an essential parameter. The Promotor's report shall
include the same information for each such Proposal in the report.
When a Defragmentation Proposal is adopted, the author of the
Proposal is awarded a Leadership Token. Additionally, each player
who authored one or more Fragments in the Proposal's Inode is
awarded Leadership Tokens equal to one third the number of such
Fragments e authored, rounded up. Lastly, all Fragments cease to
be Fragments.
If a Fragment that is a member of a Defragmentation Proposal's
Inode ceases to be a Fragment, it is still treated as one for the
purpose of rules relating to that Proposal. For this reason, it is
RECOMMENDED that the Granulator not restart the numbering of
Fragments.
}}
If there does not exist a rule entitled 'Leadership Tokens', enact a
rule entitled 'Leadership Tokens' with the following text:
{{
Leadership Tokens are a currency tracked by the Granulator. A
player CANNOT destroy (redeem) Leadership Tokens in eir
possession except for one of the following effects:
(a) A player CAN redeem 3 Leadership Tokens in eir possession
to satisfy the Winning Condition of Leadership.
(b) A player CAN redeem 1 Leadership Token in eir possession
to destroy up to 6 Rests e owns.
(c) A player CAN redeem 1 Leadership Token in eir possession
to award emself 7 ergs.
}}
Change the power of the rule entitled 'Leadership Tokens' to 1.7.
