I withdraw Sets v1.0 and submit the following proposal.
{
Title: Sets v1.1
Author: nch
Co-Authors: Trigon, Falsifian, PSS, Jason
AI: 3
Enact a new Power=1 rule titled "Cards & Sets" with the text:
Cards are a type of asset with a corresponding Product. Products are
also assets. The types of Cards and their corresponding Products are:
* Victory Cards and Victory Points.
* Justice Cards and Blot-B-Gones
* Legislative Cards and Pendants
* Voting Cards and Extra Votes
A player CAN, by announcement, pay a 'set' of X Cards of the same type
to create in eir possession Y corresponding Products. The value of X
determines the value of Y in the following ways:
* 1 Card = 1 Product
* 2 Cards = 3 Products
* 3 Cards = 6 Products
* 4 Cards = 10 Products
A player CANNOT pay more than 4 Cards as one 'set'.
Cards and Products are tracked by the Treasuror.
For each player that is not a zombie, create one of each type of card in eir
possession.
[The core of this proposal. Collect cards to make the other assets.
I've been considering whether to have the Treasuror track everything or make a
new role. I think there's pros and cons to both. I don't want to overtax the
Treasuror but I also don't want to split rule-defined assets across multiple
officers if it's not necessary.
Also I'm not happy with Victory Points or Extra Votes. Name suggestions for
those are welcome.]
Amend rule 2499 "Welcome Packages" by replacing:
When a player receives a Welcome Package, e earns 10 coins.
with:
When a player receives a Welcome Package, e earns 10 coins and one of
each type of Card defined in the rules.
[Simple Welcome package addition]
Amend rule 2483 "Economics" by removing the following line:
A player CAN win the game by paying a fee of 1,000 Coins.
[Ultimately counter to an economy where we want constant trading and asset
movement.]
Enact a new Power=1 rule titled "VP Wins" with the following text:
If a player has at least 20 more Victory Points than any other player, e
can win by announcement. When a player wins this way, destroy all Cards
and their corresponding products. Then, for each non-zombie player
create
1 card of each type in eir possession.
[Exactly what it says on the tin.]
Amend rule 2555 "Blots" by replacing the following paragraph:
If a person (the penitent) has neither gained blots nor had more
than 2 blots expunged from emself in the current Agoran week, then
any player (the confessor) who has not, by this mechanism,
expunged any blots in the current Agoran week CAN expunge 1 blot
from the penitent, by announcement.
with:
Any player CAN, by announcement, expunge a blot from a specified person
(or emself if no one is specified) by paying a fee of one Blot-B-Gone.
[Pretty straightforward, now you need to use Blot-B-Gones to get rid of Blots
(except for the fugitive decay, I left that in).]
Amend rule 2350 "Proposals" by replacing:
Creating a proposal adds it to the Proposal Pool. Once a proposal
is created, neither its text nor any of the aforementioned
attributes can be changed. The author (syn. proposer) of a
proposal is the person who submitted it.
with:
If a proposal was created in the last week and has not been added to the
proposal pool, any player CAN add it to the Proposal Pool by paying one
Pendant. When a player who is not the author or a co-author of a
proposal adds it to the Proposal Pool by this method, e is added to the
list of co-authors.
Once a proposal is created, neither its text nor any of the
aforementioned attributes can be changed, except by the mechanisms in
this rule. The author (syn. proposer) of a proposal is the person who
submitted it.
The Promotor CAN, once a week and without objection, add a propsoal to
the Proposal Pool. E SHOULD NOT do so if the author of the proposal has
at least one Pendant or Legislative Card.
[Make Pendants do the pending thing. Making the pender a co-author ties into
lime ribbons/glitter. Add a safeguard to let the promotor pend proposals when
it's otherwise not possible.]
Amend rule 2422 "Voting Strength" by adding:
A player CAN, by announcement, pay 1 Extra Vote and specify a current
Agoran decision on which e is a voter. Eir voting strength on that
decision is 1 greater for each time e has done so. E CANNOT do so more
than 3 times on the same decision.
[This makes proxies pretty flexible actually, maybe too much? But I think it's
fun and can at most double your base power.]
Amend rule 2476 Ownership by removing:
Assets owned by the Lost and Found
BUS: [Proposal] Sets v1.0
[Below is sets v1.0. If you read 0.9 and just want to know what's different,
look here: https://github.com/nichdel/AgoranProposal/compare/

auction
has the following lots:
* one Victory Card, created in the possession of Agora when the auction
is initiated AND
* all
