BUS: [Proposal] adMinistration
A couple days ago I published The State of the Agoran Economy outlining
several thoughts about current economics, and a few issues. Here is a
proposal aimed at issues A (card & set supplies are hard to strategize
about) and B (assets are too gerontocratic). The main features of this
proposal are:
* Player Focus, analogous to Office Interests
* A rethinking of the list of Ministries (because the assignments of the
current list are very uneven)
* An office to track Focus and Interest (taking the responsibility away
from ADoP)
In this proposal, I take card grants away from offices and give it to
players based on their Focus. You can set your focus freely, but it only
changes once a month at the beginning of the month. Each of the 5
focuses has a monthly advantage: 3 receive cards, 1 receives a portion
of a pot of coins (based on how many other people take the focus), and
one has a chance to receive a victory card (and receives a single
victory point if they don't get the card). The result should be a much
more dynamic card market, as players will determine the supply in a
decentralized way based on their own strategies.
I submit, but do not pend, the following proposal:
{
Title: adMinistration
Power: 2.0
Author: nix
Co-Authors: Trigon, Aris
Amend R2605, "Ministries", to read in full:
A Ministry is an entity defined as such by this rule. Each
Ministry has a goal. The Ministries of Agora, and their goals,
are as follows:
A. Ministry of Compliance: Ensure players follow rules and
voluntary agreements and receive appropriate sanctions when they
do not.
B. Ministry of Legislation: Enable and encourage gameplay
related to the rules themselves.
C. Ministry of Economy: Enable and encourage gameplay related to
assets and currencies.
D. Ministry of Legacy: Track and reward great Agoran
achievements
E. Ministry of Participation: Track information about the
participation of people in Agora.
(Reworked the list to hopefully have a better distribution in offices
and proposals)
Enact a new Power=1 rule titled "The Ministor" with the following text:
The Ministor is an office, tasked with overseeing gameplay
related to Ministries. The Ministor SHALL publish eir monthly
report in a timely manner from the beginning of the month.
Nix assumes the office of Ministor.
(New office with a special time sensitive monthly report, to ensure
these things are easy for players to keep up on)
Enact a new Power=2 rule titled "Office Interests" with the following
text:
Ministry Interest (or just Interest) is a secured office switch,
tracked by the Ministor in eir monthly report, whose possible
values are lists of ministries, defaulting to the empty list. The
Ministor CAN flip an office's Ministry Interests without
objection.
For each item of each office's Ministry Interest, that office's
holder's voting strength is increased by 2 on proposals whose
Ministry Impact is set to that Ministry.
(Note that this moves a duty that used to belong to ADoP to Ministor.
It just makes a bit more sense here.)
When this proposal passes flip the Ministry Interest switch of every
office to the value of that office's Interest switch immediately before
this proposal passed with the following changes, applied in order:
* replace every instance of "justice" with "compliance"
* replace every instance of "efficiency" with "participation"
(This will ensure that every office still has at least one interest,
but it will also change some switches in undesirable ways. I'll, as
Ministor, separately intend to fix a bunch of these offices' interests
to better match the new categories)
Enact a new Power=2 rule titled "Player Focuses" with the following
text:
Ministry Focus (or just Focus) is a secured active player switch,
tracked by the Ministor, with possible values Unfocused (the
default) and any Ministry.
An active player CAN Plan to Flip eir own Ministry Focus,
specifying any valid value for eir Ministry Focus, by
announcement. At the beginning of a month, every active player's
Ministry Focus is set to the value e mostly recently specified by
Planning to Flip. If a player did not Plan to Flip eir Ministry
Focus switch in the last month, it is not flipped.
(This, combined with the below rule, will take over the card grants
that offices used to get, making it less gerontocratic and more
strategic.)
Amend R2624, "Card Administration", to be titled "Focus Grants" and to
read in full:
Each of the following Ministries has a Grant, listed below.
Ministry of Compliance: 1 Justice Card
Ministry of Legislation: 1 Legislative Card
Ministry of Participation: 1 Voting Card
Ministry of Economy: 50 coins divided by X, rounded up; where X
is the number of

(Note that this moves a duty that used to belong to ADoP to Ministor.
It just makes a bit more sense here.)
When this proposal passes flip the Ministry Interest switch of every
office to the value of that office's Interest switch immediately before
this proposal passed with the following changes, applied in order:
* replace every instance of "justice" with "compliance"

but it will also change some switches in undesirable ways. I'll, as
Ministor, separately intend to fix a bunch of these offices' interests
to better match the new categories)
Enact a new Power=2 rule titled "Player Focuses" with the following

Unfocused (the default) and any Ministry.
An active player CAN Plan to Flip eir own Ministry Focus,
specifying any valid value for eir Ministry Focus, by
announcement. At the beginning of a month, every active player's
Ministry Focus is set to the value e mostly recently specified by
Planning to Flip. If a player did not Plan to Flip eir Ministry
Focus switch in the last month, it is not flipped.
(This, combined with the below rule, will take over the card grants

strategic.)
Amend R2624, "Card Administration", to be titled "Focus Grants" and to
read in full:
Each of the following Ministries has a Grant, listed below.
Ministry of Compliance: 1 Justice Card
Ministry of Legislation: 1 Legislative Card
