BUS: [Proposal & pend] Minor Speaker fix

2020-08-16 Thread ATMunn via agora-business

I submit the following proposal, paying a pendant to cause it to become
pending and sponsored:

Title: Minor Speaker fix
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: ATMunn
Co-authors:

{

  Amend Rule 103 "The Speaker" by appending the following sentence to
  the paragraph beginning "If the office of Speaker has been held
  continuously":
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Speaker CANNOT object to
an intent by any player to do so.

  [Explanation: Currently, if the Speaker has been Speaker for at least
  90 days, e can be replaced with support. However, the Speaker has
  the power to stop any intent, even one that is with support, by
  objecting to it. This would mean that the Speaker cannot be removed by
  this method. The office can still be reappointed by the Prime Minister
  if another player wins the game, but as is, the 90+ days method is
  relatively obsolete. The fix is to either remove the feature
  altogether or fix it, and I think it's a nice feature, so I proposed
  this fix. I've also just managed to make an explanation about 3 times
  as long as the actual proposal. Oops.]

BUS: Call for Reportors. 5 Coins per summary!

2020-08-16 Thread Falsifian via agora-business
Help future Agorans look back on --- and current Agorans keep up with
--- this week's events.

To take responsibility for the current Agoran week: join the Agoran
Press contract, take the Weekly Assignment during this week, and publish
a summary next week that covers this week's highlights.

Your report doesn't need to have as much detail as the ones I've been
sending out (and a bit more creative flair would probably be
appreciated). I've been writing summaries since October, but won't
always be available (I already missed two weeks around March-April when
I was busy). I think it's better for the future health of the Press if
more people take turns.

   To "award a person a " is to flip that person's
    Ribbon Ownership to True. A person "owns a " if eir  Ribbon Ownership is True.

and by replacing this text:

   While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a
   Banner by announcement. This causes that person to win the game.
   That person's Ribbon Ownership becomes the empty set.

with this text:

   While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a

For each type of Ribbon, for each person whose Ribbon Ownership prior to
the adoption of this proposal included that type, flip eir 
Ribbon Ownership to True.


Having been (re-)awarded RCBMUVKA by this proposal, I award myself a
Transparent Ribbon.



Having been re-awarded OGEBMVWKAT (I think), I award myself Transparent
