Title: Reinstituting Rewards
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Trigon

[ COMMENT: For those of you who know that I really liked the rewards
system from last year, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Now that
there's no minigame, I think we should have a constant source for
earning coins, so how about we tie it to general participation in the
game? ]
Repeal Rule 2583 "Earning Coins"
Reenact Rule 2496 "Rewards" and replace its text with:
A player CAN earn the set of assets associated with a reward
condition exactly once in a timely fashion each time e fulfills it
by stating how many assets e earns as a result of this action.
Below is a list of reward conditions and their associated assets.
* Being the author of an adopted proposal: a number of coins equal
to ((the total strength of all valid ballots cast FOR the
decision - the total strength of all valid ballots cast AGAINST)
times the adoption index of the result) rounded up.
* Judging a CFJ that e was assigned to: 5 coins.
* Publishing a duty-fulfilling report: 5 coins. This reward can
only be claimed once per office per week for a weekly report and
once per office per month for a monthly report.
* Having a Thesis pass peer-review and be granted a Degree based
on its merit: 20 shinies
If a proposal by Trigon has not passed in the same distribution as this
proposal entitled "High-level asset verbs", amend rule 2496 by replacing
all instances of the word "earn" with "create in eir possession".
