[Hopefully I've got everything right. The Proposal Pool will take a
few more days, and may even be a bit late. My apologies for any
inconvenience.]
I hereby distribute each listed proposal, initiating the Agoran
Decision of whether to adopt it, and removing it from the proposal
pool. For this decision, the vote collector is the Assessor, the
quorum is 5.0 and the valid options are FOR and AGAINST (PRESENT is
also a valid vote).

Title: Registration fix finally
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: G.
Co-authors:
[It looks like we have various ways for players to make money now so
the re-registration bug can be fixed. Also clearly defines the verb
"to register" and makes it clear that registered persons can't "re"
register].
Amend Rule 869 (How to Join and Leave Agora) by replacing:
Citizenship is a person switch with values Unregistered
(default) and Registered, tracked by the Registrar. Changes to
citizenship are secured. A registered person is a Player.
A person CAN (unless explicitly forbidden or prevented by the
rules) register by publishing a message that indicates
reasonably clearly and reasonably unambiguously that e intends
to become a player at that time. A person, by registering,
agrees to abide by the Rules. The Rules CANNOT otherwise bind a
person to abide by any agreement without that person's willful
consent.
A player CAN deregister (cease being a player) by announcement.
If e does so, e CANNOT register by announcement for 30 days.
with:
Citizenship is a person switch with values Unregistered

To "register" someone is to flip that person's Citizenship
switch from Unregistered to Registered.
An Unregistered person CAN (unless explicitly forbidden or
prevented by the rules) register by publishing a message that
indicates reasonably clearly and reasonably unambiguously that e
intends to become a player at that time. A player CAN deregister
(cease being a player) by announcement. If e does so, e CANNOT
register or be registered for 30 days.

Title: A Reward for Obedience v5
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: ATMunn
Co-authors: Aris, Alexis, G., V.J. Rada
Repeal rule 2482, "Victory Elections"
Create a new power-1 rule titled "Medals of Honour"
{
Medals of Honour are a destructible fixed currency tracked by the Herald.
In the 7 days of an Agoran month, any player CAN declare emself to be
eligible for a Medal of Honour by announcement if all of the following
are true:
* E has made at least 1 message to a public forum in the last Agoran
month.
* Eir Karma is not below -3.
* In the last Agoran month, e has not had a Card issued to em.
In the first 7 days of an Agoran month after the first 7 days, if there
are any players who are eligible for a Medal of Honour, the Herald CAN,
by announcement, initiate an Agoran Decision on who is to be awarded a
Medal of Honour. E SHALL do so within the 7 days of an Agoran month after the
first 7 days. For this decision, the valid votes are all players who are
eligible for a Medal of Honour, the vote collector is the Herald, and the voting
method is instant-runoff. Upon the resolution of this decision, the Herald CAN,
and SHALL in a timely fashion, award the outcome of the decision a Medal of
Honour by announcement. After a player is awarded a Medal of Honour, all
players who were previously eligible for a Medal of Honour become no longer
eligible.
If, at any time, any player has 6 or more Medals of Honour, and e has
not won via this rule previously, e can win the game by announcement,
destroying all of eir Medals of Honour.

Title: Revision Limits v2
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Trigon
Co-authors:
Amend Rule 2201 "Self-Ratification" by removing the second paragraph and list.
Create a new rule with power 3 entitled "Doubt" with the following text:
A doubt is an explicit public challenge via one of the following
methods, identifying a document and explaining the scope and
nature of a perceived error in it:
1. An inquiry case, appropriate for questions of legal
interpretation.
2. A claim of error, appropriate for matters of fact. The
publisher of the original document SHALL (if e was required to
publish that document) or SHOULD (otherwise) do one of the
following in a timely fashion:
A. Deny the claim (causing it to cease to be a doubt).
B. Publish a revision.
C. Initiate an inquiry case regarding the truth of the claim
(if the subject is actually a matter of law), or cite a
relevant existing inquiry case.
Create a new rule with power 3 entitled "The Revision Limit" with the following
text:
The Revision Limit is an untracked natural singleton switch
defaulting to 2 that CAN be set by any player without objection.
If a report has had a number of revisions published to it greater
than the revision limit, efforts by the player that published the
report to collect a reward on eir next report are INEFFECTIVE.

Title: High Power Cleanup
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Alexis
Co-authors: G., Publius Scribonius Scholasticus
Text in square brackets is not a substantive part of this proposal and is
ignored when it takes effect.
Amend Rule 105, bullet 2 to read "When a rule is repealed, it ceases
to be a rule,
its power is set to 0, and the Rulekeepor need no longer maintain a record
of it."
[There is a ruling that repealed rules have their power set to 0, but I'm
not sure I fully agree with that conclusion; this makes it explicit which
can't hurt anyway.]
Amend Rule 106 by appending "Except insofar as the actions performed by a
proposal happen one after another, rather than simultaneously, a proposal's
effect is instantaneous. A proposal can neither delay nor extend its own
effect. Once a propsal finishes taking effect, its power is set to 0."
[Per discussion, do the same for proposals. While here, make it clear that
proposals are instantaneous. Please nitpick this, I'm pretty sure it's safe
but this is a very dangerous rule to get wrong.]
Set the power of all entities other than Rules, Regulations, and this
Proposal to 0. If rule 2493 was repealed, or the word "instrument" does not
appear in its text, also set the power of all Regulations to 0.
[This is a general cleanup that catches repealed rules and other entities.]
Amend Rule 105, bullet 3 by appending "Unless specified otherwise by the
re-enacting instrument, a re-enacted rule has power equal to the power it
had at the time of its repeal (or power 1, if power was not defined at the
time of that rule's repeal). If the re-enacting instrument is incapable of
setting the re-enacted rule's power to that value, then the re-enactment is
null and void."
[Re-enactment currently doesn't have a specified power; this causes it to
work roughly the way you would expect it to.]
Amend Rule 1023 by appending "The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to for
determining whether two points in time are within N months of each other,
for N greater than or equal to 2." as a new paragraph in the fourth bullet
in the first list.
[This makes the logical extension to "within 6 months", which is used,
explicit.]
