Author: scshunt
Adoption Index: 2
Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "First Among Equals" reading as follows:
The Prime Minister is an office. The Prime Minister is elected by
the players of Agora primarily on account of not being the other
guy. The Prime Minister SHOULD ensure that Agoran affairs proceed
smoothly.

not apply in respect of an election of the Prime Minister.

The Speaker is an imposed office and the figurehead leader of
Agora. The office of Speaker is held by the player to have most
recently won Agora.

Title: Saner Defaults?
Author: scshunt
Adoption Index: 3
Amend Rule 105 (Rule Changes) by replacing:
The new rule has power equal to the minimum of the power specified
by the enacting instrument, defaulting to one if the enacting
instrument does not specify or if it specifies a power less than
one, and the maximum power permitted by other rules. The enacting
instrument may specify a title for the new rule, which if present
shall prevail. The ID number of the new rule cannot be specified
by the enacting instrument; any attempt to so specify is null and
void.
with:
The new rule has power equal to the power specified by the
enacting instrument, or to the enacting instrument's power if
unspecified. If this would be below the minimum or above the
maximum permitted by rules of power at least 3, then the new rule
has power equal to that minimum or maximum, as appropriate.
The enacting instrument may specify a title for the new rule,
which if present shall prevail. The ID number of the new rule
cannot be specified by the enacting instrument; any attempt to so
specify is null and void, although it does not prevent the rule
change from otherwise succeeding.

Title: 'Cause I really really really really hate
Author: omd
Adoption Index: 3
[This is the same as the old version but with 'current week' changed
to 7 day period. I don't feel like changing it further, but feel free
to propose a better version.]
Create a new Power-1 Rule, titled "Cards":
The Referee is an office; its holder is responsible for keeping
track of wrongdoing.
The Referee CAN issue a Card to a specified player by
announcement. When issuing each Card, e SHALL cite a unique
violation of the rules e perceives to have occurred within the
last 14 days, and CANNOT issue more than three Cards per week,
or one per week to a single player. The Arbitor CAN issue Black
Cards to the Referee solely for alleged violations of the former
requirement.
The following Cards exist:
- Green Card, intended for offenses which the Referee does not
believe warrant effective punishment. When a Green Card is
issued, the Referee gains two points, and the target player is
ENCOURAGED to travel to the United States.
- Yellow Card, intended for less serious or justifiable
infractions. When a person who has received a Yellow Card in
the last 7 days earns points, e only receives half as many as
e otherwise would, rounded up.
- Red Card, intended for more severe offenses. The effects of a
Red Card are described elsewhere.
- Black Card, naming an office held by the player, intended for
severe abuses of power. Within seven days after a Black Card
is issued, any player CAN become the holder of the target
office with two support; the Referee CANNOT initiate or
support this.
The Referee SHALL issue at least one Card per week, unless no
violations occurred that week.
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Referee does not gain
weekly points for holding the office.
[In lieu of weekly points, Referee perks include discretion over
whether to issue Cards to emself and points for Green Cards.]
Create a new Power-3 Rule, titled "Red Cards":
After a Red Card has been issued to a player, e SHOULD publish a
formal apology of at least 200 words, including all the
prescribed words, explaining eir error, shame, remorse, and
ardent desire for self-improvement; other effects are described
elsewhere. Until e does so or 30 days have passed, e CANNOT
cast votes other than PRESENT, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding.
[I always thought this was one of the worst punishments.]
