I like this take on this process, but it doesn’t seem to have anything stopping

Inefficient processing requires Agoran consent of members ("we've been

if you're not a member then you can become one any time. If I'm still
overlooking something, then let me know.


This also doesn’t seem to account for resets.


Oh, good catch. I intend (with Agoran consent of Collectors) to amend
this contract to read, in full:

Administrivia:

  1) The name of this contract is Card Collective Contract, Agoran
 (abbr. CCCA).

  2) Any player CAN join or leave CCCA by announcement. Members of CCCA
 are known as Collectors.

  3) Any Collector CAN amend CCCA with Agoran consent of Collectors.

  4) The Secretary General is Murphy.

  5) A Person of Interest is a player or former player.

Balances:

  1) Each type of Card has a corresponding List, which is an ordered
 sequence of Persons of Interest (who may appear multiple times),
 initially empty.

  2) When a player transfers N instances of one type of Card to this
 contract, e is added N times to the end of that type's List.

  3) If at any time CCCA has no instances of a type of Card, then
 that Card's List becomes empty.

Collection:

  1) To perform Collection for N instances of one type of Card is to do
 the following:

   a) Transfer that many instances from CCCA to oneself.

   b) Pay that many instances as a single set to earn Products.

   c) The Comrades are the first entries (up to N) in that type's
  List who are players. Transfer one Product earned in the
  previous step to the first Comrade (or keep it if that Comrade
  is the performer), then one to the second, etc., returning to
  the last Comrade after the first, until all those Products are
  transferred. Then remove those entries from that List.

 Other clauses notwithstanding, Collection may only be performed if
 it fully succeeds in one message and has at least one Comrade.

  2) Any Collector CAN perform Collection for N instances of one type of
 Card with Agoran consent of Collectors.

  3) If CCCA has at least as many instances of one type of Card as the
 largest single set that can be paid to earn Products, then the
 Secretary General CAN and SHALL perform Collection for such a
 maximal set of that type.

Non-binding notes

  The Collectors SHOULD update these as needed for accuracy.

  Example:

  * Legislative Cards are deposited by (in order) A, B, C, A, D, E
  * LC List is now {A, B, A, C, D, E}
  * A performs Collection (4 LCs for 10 Pendants)
  * Comrades are A, B, A, C
  * A transfers those 10 Pendants as follows: keep, B, C, keep,
  (back to start) keep, B, C, keep, (back to start) keep, B
  * LC List is now {D, E}

  If B deregistered prior to this Collection, then instead:

  * Comrades are A, C, A, D
  * A transfers (total of) 3 to C, 2 to D, keeps other 5
  * LC List is now {B, E}

  Non-players can't own assets, but remain on Lists in case they

BUS: [CFJs] Plunder Partnership

2020-06-16 Thread Rebecca via agora-business
  Nobody called this CFJ so I will, Attn Arbitor

CFJ: A contract which has no explicit mechanism for joining may still be
joined by other parties in some cases.
CFJ: The Plunder Partnership as it existed on June 15, 2020 could be joined
by other players

Argument: A contract which sets out a set of rules that COULD be binding on
any player should be able to be consented to by any player by default,
unless the contract says otherwise. This applies to the plunder
partnership's former text which I include below. It said "any person...can
become a pirate", although this doesn't provide a mechanism like "by
announcement", the contract clearly intended that any player be able to
consent to it, which is enough under the Consent rule for sure.

Plunder Partnership as of June 15 2020

The Plunder Partnership

‍☠️ WHO WE BE

The Plunder Partnership is also known as the Plundership. A party to this
contract is known as a Pirate. Any person who is not in Davy Jones’ Locker
can become a Pirate. Any Pirate can make themselves cease to be one by
announcement.

‍☠️ NO TATTLE-TALES

Any person who has objected to a transferral of coins from the Lost and
Found Department to the Plundership are in Davy Jones’ Locker. A person in
Davy Jones’ Locker cannot become a Pirate, and they immediately cease to be
a Pirate if they already were one.

‍☠️ DOUBLOONS

Doubloons are a destructible asset that can only belong to Pirates. When an
amount of coins is transferred to the Plundership, each Pirate gains an
amount of Doubloons equal to the amount transferred divided by the amount
of Pirates, rounded down. A Pirate with at least 1 Doubloon can transfer 1
coin to themselves from the Plundership. Doing so destroys 1 Doubloon in
their possession.

‍☠️ PARLEY

Any Pirate can propose a Parley by announcement, which describes amendments
to this contract. If at least 2/3rds (rounded up) of all Pirates consent to
the Parley’s contents, this contract is amended according to the Parley.

Further:

Similar to the precedent of CFJ 7, the contract came into existence by my
agreeing to it (i.e. the contract clauses had no force until immediatly
after I agreed).  Once I agreed, they had force, but saying I CANNOT
become a party doesn't matter if I'm already a party.  (phrased that way,
this might be a pretty trivial true, honestly).

I satisfied all of the requirements of R1742 for making a one-party

BUS: sanity clause

2020-06-16 Thread Kerim Aydin via agora-business
[I can't remember if this has been done before, sorry if it's a repeat]


I consent to the following contract, the Groucho Marx Club:
{G. CANNOT become a party to the Groucho Marx Club}.

I transfer 10 coins to the Groucho Marx Club.

I CFJ:  G. is a party to the Groucho Marx Club.

Evidence:


Rule 2519/2 (Power=3)
Consent

  A person is deemed to have consented to an action if and only if,
  at the time the action took place:

  1. e, acting as emself, has publicly stated that e agrees to the
 action and not subsequently publicly withdrawn eir statement;
  2. e is party to a contract whose body explicitly and
  unambiguously indicates eir consent;
  3. the action is taken as part of a promise which e created; or
  4. it is reasonably clear from context that e wanted the action to
 take place or assented to it taking place.


Rule 1742/22 (Power=2.5)
Contracts

  Any group of one or more consenting persons (the parties) may
  publicly make an agreement among themselves with the intention
  that it be binding upon them and be governed by the rules. Such
  an agreement is known as a contract. A contract may be modified,
  including by changing the set of parties, with the consent of all
  existing parties. A contract may also be terminated with the
  consent of all parties. A contract automatically terminates if the
  number of parties to it falls below one. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a
  person to become a party to a contract without eir consent.

  Parties to a contract governed by the rules SHALL act in
  accordance with that contract. This obligation is not impaired
  by contradiction between the contract and any other contract, or
  between the contract and the rules.

  Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, any change that would cause
  the full provisions or parties of a contract to become publicly
  unavailable is canceled and does not take effect.

  The portion of a contract's provisions that can be interpreted
  with reference only to information that is either publicly or
  generally available are known as its body; the remainder of the
  provisions are known as the annex.

  A party to a contract CAN perform any of the following actions as
  explicitly and unambiguously permitted by the contract's body:

  * Act on behalf of another party to the contract.

  * By announcement, revoke destructible assets from the contract.

  * By announcement, transfer liquid assets from the contract to a
specified recipient.





BUS: [Proposal] Talismans

2020-06-16 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-business
Alright, final chance for comments. I plan to pend this in about a day.

I submit (but do not pend) the following proposal:

Title: Talismans
Adoption index: 3.0
Coauthors: nch, Falsifian, G.

{

For the purposes of this proposal, a player's prior master is eir master
before this proposal applies any effects.

Amend Rule 2532 to read, in whole:
{

A talisman is an indestructible asset, tracked by the Registrar, and
with ownership wholly restricted to players and Agora. There exists
exactly one talisman for each player, and no other talismans; if one
does not exist for a certain player, it is created in eir posession.
Talismans CAN only be transferred as explicitly specified by the rules.
The creation, destruction, and transfer of talismans is secured.

Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, a player CAN, by announcement,
transfer the talisman for em to emself. The master of a player is the
entity that possesses the talisman for em. A player who is eir own
master is active; any other player is a zombie (syn. inactive).

The master of a zombie CAN act on behalf of em, except a master CANNOT
act on behalf of a zombie to:
    - initiate, support, object to, or perform a dependent action;
    - act on behalf of that zombie's zombies;
    - bid in a zombie auction;
    - enter a contract, pledge, or other type of agreement;
    - initiate a Call for Judgement;
    - create blots;
    - deregister.

If a master causes a zombie to perform an ILLEGAL action, the master
commits the Class 4+N Crime of Masterminding (where N is the class of
the illegal action).

If an active player who was a zombie has not received a Welcome Package
since e most recently ceased being a zombie, and if eir resale value was
less than 2 at any point during eir most recent time as a zombie, then
any player CAN cause em to receive a Welcome Package by announcement.

}

Amend Rule 2574 to read, in whole:
{

Any player CAN, with notice, transfer the talisman for an active player
who has not made a public announcement in the past 60 days to Agora.

Resale value is a secured natural switch for zombies, tracked by the
Registrar, with a default value of 2. Whenever the talisman for a zombie
is transferred to a player, that zombie's resale value is decreased by
1. At the end of a zombie auction, the resale value of every zombie that
is an excess lot in that auction decreases by 1.

The talisman for a zombie with zero resale value CANNOT be transferred
to any player other than that zombie.

Any player CAN, with notice:
    - If a zombie has been a zombie for the past 90 days and not had
Agora for a master during any of that time, transfer the talisman for em
to Agora;
    - If a player possesses more than one talisman, specify and transfer
one of those talismans to Agora;
    - Deregister a zombie whose resale value is zero and whose master is
Agora.

The Registrar SHALL track the date for each zombie on which Agora was
most recently eir master. The Registrar SHALL perform all POSSIBLE
actions in the preceding paragraph in a timely fashion after first
reporting their possibility via the facts in eir weekly report.

}


Amend Rule 1885 to read, in whole:
{

Whenever a zombie has Agora for a master and has a resale value greater
than 0, and when eir talisman is not currently a lot in an auction and
has not been won as an auction lot in the past 14 days, then the
Registrar CAN put that zombie's talisman (along with any other talismans
that fulfill the same conditions) up for auction.

In a timely fashion after the beginning of each month, the Registrar
SHALL either initiate such an auction or, if no talismans meeting these
conditions existed at the beginning of the month, announce that no such
auction is necessary.

For such an auction, each lot consists of the talisman for one zombie,
ordered at the discretion of the Registrar. The Registrar is the
auctioneer, and the minimum bid is 1. The method to be used for this
auction is the zombie auction method if such a method exists, or
otherwise the default auction method.

}

Amend Rule 2575 by replacing the final sentence with
"Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the talisman for the Distributor
is possessed by emself (and is transferred to em if it ever is not), and
e CANNOT deregister or be deregistered."

For each player who is not eir own prior master, transfer the talisman
for em to eir prior master.

BUS: [AAA] Expanding the scope of punishment

2020-06-16 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-business
I submit the following Amendment Proposal to AAA:

{

Replace the last paragraph of SECTION 2 (OPT-IN) with the following:
"Any player CAN become party to this contract by announcement. Any party
to this contract CAN cease being party to this contract if: (1) e is not
party to an opted-in contract and (2) e has not ceased being party to
any other contract within the past 14 days."

In SECTION 6 (CASE RESOLUTION), replace the text "the alleged
perpetrator (who is a party to that contract)" with the text "the
alleged perpetrator (who is a party to that contract or was within the
past 14 days)".

}


The purpose of this amendment is to allow punishment for persons who
have ceased being party to an opted-in contract within the last 14 days.
This is accomplished by preventing them from leaving AAA for 14 days and
by expanding the set of possible violators of a contract to include
those leaving up to 14 days previously.

I intended, without objection from the parties of AAA, to apply the
changes in the above Amendment Proposal to AAA.

BUS: [Cards] Legislative Card cashing

2020-06-16 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-business
I should have three Legislative Cards in my possession (one from the
sets proposal, one from popular proposing, and one from PSS).

If I have three Legislative Cards in my possession, I use the mechanism
specified in Rule 2620 to pay a set of 3 legislative cards, thus earning
6 Pendants.

BUS: [Dragon] Faster Ordinary Proposals

2020-06-16 Thread James Cook via agora-business
I submit the following Corporate Proposal for the Dragon Corporation.

{

Replace "If a Corporate Proposal was submitted more than 4 but fewer
than 21 days ago, and the proposal has approval" with "If a Corporate
Proposal was submitted fewer than 21 days ago and has approval".

After "An Amendment Proposal has approval if" insert "it was submitted
more than 4 days ago,".

In Bylaw 4, replace the second sentence of the first paragraph with:

A player is Unsupportive of an Ordinary Proposal if e eir current
vote is AGAINST, or if e has no current vote and the proposal was
submitted fewer than 4 days ago. An Ordinary Proposal has approval
if the number of shares owned by members voting FOR it is greater
than the number of Unsupportive players.

BUS: Honor among Pirates [Attn. All "Pirates"]

2020-06-16 Thread Cuddle Beam via agora-business
I could have just let this pass and banked some MAJOR coinage but the
long-term consequences of having people be paranoid about my contracts
isn't worth it imo, I much prefer to have people's trust that I won't
betray them on contracts. So, the thing is that there is a bug in the
Plunder contract - nobody could join because there was no join mechanism.

So nobody became a Pirate. I suggest you all rejoin. I'm also adding the
latest Parley patch.

I propose the following Parley:

{Amend the Plunder Partnership to read in full:

The Plunder Partnership

‍☠️ WHO WE BE

The Plunder Partnership is also known as the Plundership. A party to this
contract is known as a Pirate. Any person who is not in Davy Jones’ Locker
can become a Pirate by announcement. Any Pirate can make themselves cease
to be one by announcement.

‍☠️ NO TATTLE-TALES

Any person who has objected to a transferral of coins to the Plundership
are in Davy Jones’ Locker. A person in Davy Jones’ Locker cannot become a
Pirate, and they immediately cease to be a Pirate if they already were one.

‍☠️ DOUBLOONS

Doubloons are a destructible asset that can only belong to Pirates. When an
amount of coins is transferred to the Plundership, each Pirate gains an
amount of Doubloons equal to the amount transferred divided by the amount
of Pirates, rounded down. A Pirate with at least 1 Doubloon can transfer 1
coin to themselves from the Plundership. Doing so destroys 1 Doubloon in
their possession.

‍☠️ PARLEY

Any Pirate can propose a Parley by announcement, which describes amendments
to this contract. If a Parley was proposed at least 2 days ago, at least
2/3rds (rounded up) of all Pirates consent to its contents, and it has not
yet been applied, then any Pirate can apply it by announcement, causing
this contract to be amended according to it.}

I consent to that Parley. It's applied.

Any person who has objected to a transferral of coins from the Lost and
Found Department to the Plundership are in Davy Jones’ Locker. A person in
Davy Jones’ Locker cannot become a Pirate, and they immediately cease to be
a Pirate if they already were one.

‍☠️ DOUBLOONS

Doubloons are a destructible asset that can only belong to Pirates. When an
amount of coins is transferred to the Plundership, each Pirate gains an
amount of Doubloons equal to the amount transferred divided by the amount
of Pirates, rounded down. A Pirate with at least 1 Doubloon can transfer 1
coin to themselves from the Plundership. Doing so destroys 1 Doubloon in
their possession.

‍☠️ PARLEY

Any Pirate can propose a Parley by announcement, which describes amendments
to this contract. If a Parley was proposed at least 2 days ago, at least
2/3rds (rounded up) of all Pirates consent to its contents, and it has not
yet been applied, then any Pirate can apply it by announcement, causing
this contract to be amended according to it.

I transfer 50 coins to my locker.

I then Fortunetell each of these cards! Here is your fortune, R.Lee! (The
hashes are SHA-256, done with this:
https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/sha256.html)


I - THE PLAYER: you will have good luck with proposals

II - THE ANNOUNCEMENT: if you are smart about it you will earn a lot of money

III - THE JUDGE: a scam is looming close to you so be careful or take
the opportunity

IV - THE SCAM: fortune will smile upon you if you do what needs to be done

V - THE RIBBON: you are forgetting something important

Well that's quite the interesting proposition but here's my counter-offer.

I intend to transfer 510 coins from the Lost and Found Department to the
Plunder Partnership, without objection.
