BUS: [Contract Amendment] Agoran Press Changes

2021-07-04 Thread Falsifian via agora-business
I propose the following amendment to the Agoran Press contract, and I
consent to it.

(Note: the proposed text below is my last draft plus a sentence
implementing Telna's suggestion that people SHOULD become Editor when
they do things.)

{{

Change the text of the contract to the following:

{

Purpose: support the documentation of Agoran events in a way that
informs current players and non-players and also supports future
research.

-- Joining and leaving --

Parties to this contract are called Reportors.

Any person CAN join or leave this contract by announcement.

-- Reporting --

A Weekly Report is a summary of notable events for a given Agoran Week.
Notability, and what must be included in a summary, are at the author's
discretion.

Any player can Report on a past Agoran week by publishing a Weekly
Report for it, as long as all the following are true:

* No other player has dibs on that week, as described in this contract.

* No other Weekly Report has been published for that week.

* It's at most one year in the past.

-- Gratitude --

When a player has Reported on an Agoran Week but has not yet been
Thanked for that report, any player CAN Thank them for it:

- by announcement, if the thanker has not Thanked anyone yet this
  month; or

- by Agoran Consent.

-- Dibs --

Any player can call dibs on a specified week by announcement. That
player then has dibs on that week, unless another player already had
it.

A player can release dibs on a week by announcement: then they no
longer have dibs.

When a player's continuously had dibs on a week for 14 days, e
automatically releases dibs on that week.

-- Payment --

Coins Owed are a currency. Whenever a player is Thanked (as defined in
this contract), e earns 5 boatloads of Coins Owed.

Whenever this contract owns at least N Coins (for any nonnegative
integer N), any player CAN transfer N Coins from this contract to
emself by paying a fee of N Coins Owed.

To "Redeem N Coins Owed" is to pay N Coins Owed to transfer N Coins
from this contract to oneself.

-- Conversion --

Credits are a currency. If any Credits exist, each Credit is
immediately replaced with 5 Boatloads of Coins Owed (with the same
owner). In particular, this happens immediately after the contract is
first amended to include this provision.

-- Accounting --

Any player can become The Editor or cease being The Editor by
announcement. In other words, The Editor is the last person to
claim the role, if e has not left it since.

The Editor is the recordkeepor for Coins and Credits.

Whenever a players publishes a Weekly Report or Redeems Coins Owed, e
SHOULD then become the Editor and publish a report.

-- Amendment --

Any Reportor can propose an amendment to this contract by announcement.
If an amendment was proposed at least 2 days ago, at least two thirds
(rounded up) of all Reportors consent to it, and it has not yet been
applied, then any Reportor can enact it by announcement. When it is
enacted, first, non-consenting players cease to be parties to this
contract, and then it is applied.

Apparently I never pended the Mother May I Proposal because I failed at
paying the fee. Notably this does not affect the proposal's distribution
(Aris just distributed it when it was not pending, breaking a rule). I can
still flip its pending switch to TRUE, causing it to be a sponsored
proposal, which makes me eligible for rewards. I hereby pend the proposal
'Nicer Definitions' by paying 1 pendant.

Just kidding - According to Aris my pend never worked in the first place
(as I didn't pay the fee in the fee-based action). I have 3 pendants after
all. The distribution is still valid though.

I become a candidate for Registrar.

Election speech: I'm terrible at holding on to offices long-term, but
I'm not half bad at handling them every once in a while as the need
comes up. (What this means in practice: I'll handle registrar for as
long as I can, but history shows I usually tend to lose interest and
fall behind after a month or two.)

with


   ""SHOULD NOT, DISCOURAGED, DEPRECATED: Before performing the
   described action, the full implications of performing it ought to be
   be understood and carefully weighed."


and also by replacing

   "SHOULD, ENCOURAGED, RECOMMENDED: Before failing to perform the
described action, the full implications of failing to perform
it should (in the ordinary-language sense) be understood and
carefully weighed."

with

   "SHOULD, ENCOURAGED, RECOMMENDED: Before failing to perform the
   described action, the full implications of failing to perform
   it ought to be understood and
   carefully weighed."

[Explanation: The word SHOULD is currently defined as meaning the word
should. This is not technically recursive because the upper case terms are
terms of art, but it looks awful. This proposal means that it becomes
"ought to", which just looks better. I also get to remove a terribly clunky
parenthetical.]

BUS: What's in a Name? [attn. officers]

2021-07-04 Thread Aris via agora-business
I change my nickname to Aspen. My pronouns are they/them, although I still
prefer e/em in Agoran contexts.

I may change my nickname again, but I'm having trouble deciding. Figured I
may as well give this a go for a bit.

-Aspen
