Title: Archimedes' Principle
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Aris

[Changes:
-The Treasuror sets a target for the Total Buoyancy every week;
the most recent target takes effect at the beginning of the month
-The Unit of Floatation is now rounded, so people can actually remember
it (unlike the draft, I'm rounding up, to deal with cases
where it's evenly between two integers)
-The Treasuror no longer has a monthly report, and is instead
just encouraged to make sure the Total Buoyancy and Unit of Floatation
are published
]
Amend Rule 2634, "Buoyancy Control", by changing it to read in full:
The Total Buoyancy and Buoyancy Target are singleton
integer switches, tracked by the Treasuror in eir weekly report.
The Treasuror CAN, by announcement, set the Buoyancy Target
to a specified value approximately equal to the sum of all coin
balances at a specified point within the last week,
and SHALL do so each time e publishes eir weekly report.
The Treasuror may exercise reasonable judgement in calculating the
Buoyancy Target. The Buoyancy Target will be deemed set so long as
the value chosen by the Treasuror is not obviously and grossly
incorrect. However, the Treasuror SHALL NOT deliberately introduce
error into the Buoyancy Target.
At the beginning of each month, the Total Buoyancy is flipped to
the Buoyancy Target.
Amend Rule 2635, "Floating Rate Fleet", by changing it to read in full:
The Unit of Flotation is equal to 1/2500 times the Total Buoyancy,
rounded up, and is tracked in the Treasuror's weekly report.
A boatload of something is a quantity of that thing equal
in count to the Unit of Floatation.
The Treasuror is ENCOURAGED to arrange for the new Total Buoyancy
and Unit of Flotation to be published as close as possible
to the beginning of the month.
[No clue why this should be secured — granting assets isn't secured.
The reason I'm amending this is to make the payday happen
after the boatload value update; I'm open to other phrasings.]
Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by replacing:
The occurrence of Paydays is secured. At the beginning of each
month, a Payday occurs.
with:
At the beginning of each month, after all other events that
take place at the beginning of the month, a Payday occurs.

The occurrence of Paydays is secured. At the beginning of each

Title: The Election Cycle v1.1
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: nix
Co-author(s): G., Aris
Amend R2154, "Election Procedure", by replacing:
A player CAN initiate an election for a specified elected office:
a) with 2 support, if either the office is interim or the most
recent election for that office was resolved more than 90 days
prior, and provided that the initiator becomes a candidate in
the same message.
b) By announcement, if e is the ADoP and if the office is interim,
or if e is the holder of that office.
with:
The holder of an elected office CAN, by announcement, initiate an
election for that office.
The ADoP CAN, by announcement, initiate an election for a
specified elected office if it is interim.
The ADoP CAN, by announcement, and SHALL, two times a quarter,
initiate an election for the specified elected office that has
least recently had an election. E SHALL NOT do so more than four
times a quarter.
[
Note: I tried to make this flexible for the ADoP. E essentially can
initiate 2-4 elections a quarter, and only needs to do 2. With the
current number of elected offices, that's 1.8 years between mandated
elections, but can be as little as 1 year. E can also choose to do them
all at once, or spread them out, or however is most convenient.
Also note this removes method a from the original. It doesn't get much
use, so I don't see much reason to keep it. Plus, impeachment serves
a similar role.
