we can't remove a lot of the edge cases that take up much of the rules,
since that's removing meaning, despite wanting those gone. Monthly could be
a good frequency for this ruleset, but ideally it would be updated whenever
there's a major ruleset change, and not when things are stable (it can
ignore most bugfixes, for example). I did a thesis where I wrote a
shortened ruleset, and will be redoing that soon, as an example of how it

I withdraw the above proposal. (I've changed the reset period to allow 7

BUS: [Proposal] An Agoran Standoff

[secretsnail9 via agora-business]

It seems like Agora could use some more gameplay right now, so I present
this subgame that got drafted a while ago. It experiments with an
officerless tracking system, where players should report their status in
all their messages. For example (Alive, 3 Bangs) after a signature would
suffice.

I submit the following proposal:

{{{

A ghostly player CAN incarnate by announcement, which means
to flip eir Vitality to Invulnerable, provided there are only
Invulnerable or Ghostly players.

Each corporeal player SHOULD list eir Vitality and Bang Balance in all eir

Any player CAN publish a report of all Bang Balances and Vitalities. Such a

I submit the following proposal:

{{{
Title: Grind Stone
Adoption Index: 2.0
Author: snail
Co-authors:

Amend Rule 2645 (The Stones) by replacing

{
  - Anti-Equatorial Stone (monthly): When wielded, the mossiest
non-immune stone is transferred to the wielder. If more than one
such stone is tied for mossiest, a specified one is transferred.
When this happens, the wielded stone's mossiness is incremented
by 1.
}

with

{
  - Grind Stone (quarterly): When wielded, if this is the 5th time the
wielder has wielded the Grind Stone (not the recursion stone) since any
other player wielded it, e wins the game.
}


}}}


I submit the following proposal:

{{{
Title: Lode Stone

{
  - Loud Stone (monthly): When wielded, a specified player's

BUS: [Promotor] Silver Quill Intents

[secretsnail9 via agora-business]

This round of proposals is hard to decide on, since it seems like not a ton
changed in 2023 that lasted. Here are my top picks:


nix
P8898 (Rockier Gardens): added the gardens dream and stone rockiness,
changing how stones were transferred and which dreams were selected.

4st
P8918 (Ritual Paper Dance V2): introduced a way for everyone to gain 1
radiance on the 41st time certain actions were taken (voting, reports,
judging CFJS) except the people in 1st place.

Janet
P8954 (Closing the barn doors): Repealed horses.

snail
P8955 (Disassembling the Device): Repealed the device and the mad engineer.

Yachay
P8956 (Unradiance): got rid of the radiance rewards for proposals passing
and the like.

Yachay
P8969 (The Rice Game): added the rice subgame, where players voted on rice
plans in an attempt to have more rice than any other player.

juan
P8992 (Camusian Dream v2): added the boulder




Rankings by influence on the game (in my opinion)
1: Camusian Dream v2 (The boulder continues to rise to this day!)
2: The Rice Game (A whole subgame that had good participation and caused
some cfjs)
3: Closing the barn doors (removed a whole subgame)
4: Rockier Gardens (Changed the dynamics of stones and dreams, with new
plays to game around with a not-super-hard-to-understand rule.)
5: Unradiance (Changed proposal dynamics and made other sources of radiance
more of a focus)

Rankings by Merit (in my opinion):
1: Camusian Dream v2 (A fun idea that's liked enough to keep around.)
2: Rockier Gardens (A small mechanic swap that gave stones and dreams novel
gameplay without much hiccup)
3: The Rice Game (A neat subgame idea with a rocky implementation)
4: Ritual Paper Dance V2 (Novel idea to play around with triggers from
normal actions)


So, which proposal is the best of merit and influence? These rankings were
hard to place, but what sticks out to me:

I intend, with 2 Agoran Consent, to award juan the Patent Title "Silver
Quill 2023" for authoring Proposal 8992 ( Camusian Dream v2). The boulder
has remained in motion for almost 11 months now, so I feel like it's
deserving.

(If you think another proposal deserves Silver Quill, please reply with its
number and the reasoning behind the award, and I will intend to award it! I
may have missed something, and we can do multiple awards if need be.)

Any player can redeem this; essentially you pay 3 spendies for one of the

BUS: (@ADoP) Attention stamp enjoyers! Perhaps become an officer?

[secretsnail9 via agora-business]

I resign as Collector. I resign as Illuminator.

This brings me from 10 total complexity of offices down to a more
reasonable 7

I encourage anyone interested in stamp gameplay to give Collector a try!
And Illuminator is a pretty simple office, just adding up points.

If you take both, you get the full complexity bonus to your voting
strength, plus they work well together.


I've been slammed with work for the longest time, so passing these offices
off will hopefully make the other reports come out on time, every time. I'd
take a vacation, but that would just delay the problem. I'd call for
elections, but there's a mess with the ADoP. So deputization seems like the
best way to pass them off. There shouldn't be much tracking to do since the
last reports, either.

This case differs from CFJ 1625 in that the parenthetical references a rule
name that did not exist in the rules at the time of the repeal. As
parenthetical rule names are not clearly marked comments, they instead
serve an effect in the proposal: a specification of a rule. This functions
as a safeguard in the case of a mismatch of rule number and rule name that
prevents the rule change altogether, holding from 1625.

The mistitling isn't an "inconsequential variation in the quotation of an
existing rule" because 1) the rule (Gathering Stones) didn't exist at the
time, and 2) the variation is not inconsequential, as something like (tone
Cost) would be.

So the relevant clause is "Furthermore, if the change being specified would
be clear to any reasonable player, the specification is not ambiguous, even
if it is incorrect or unclear on its face."

Could any reasonable player find a clear meaning of a Repeal which
specifies both a rule and a potentially-non-rule? In this case, the Rule
number obviously refers to a certain rule, but the rule name is less
obvious. The rule that used to be named (Gathering Stones) could be what is
being referred to, and that would match up with the rule number, but there
could be another entity titled "Gathering Stones" that would be being
specified instead, such as a nonexistent rule. The existence of the
parenthetical as a safeguard serves to make things more unclear: is it
meant to fail because the title is wrong, or succeed since the mistitle was
the previous name of the rule? The intent of the proposal also serves to
make things unclear to a reasonable Agoran, as why would one repeal a rule
they just amended, that functions as a core part of a subgame? It could be
a mistake or an intentional scam, but if it was a scam, it would likely be
correctly titled so as to unambiguously work.

One could assume that it repeals a rule, but one could also assume it fails
due to the safeguard, and therefore, since there's not one "clear" change,
it fails. This seems like a judgement that may have some wiggle room for
debate on "clearness", but the 4 factors should solidify it to being
ineffective, as accidentally repealing a rule you just amended ought to be
only possible if you correctly specified it, and safeguards should work, as
they have before.

I judge CFJ 4078 FALSE.

I respond to this petition as follows.

I intend, with 3 Agoran Consent and in an emergency message, to enact the
following Emergency Regulation:

{

On the beginning of the 14th of April, 2024, each player is granted 20
spendies.

}

This should jumpstart the economy. If there is any issue with this, please

THE TINY LOGICAL DENSIFIED RULESET

**Editor's Note: This is an extremely simplified version of the ruleset,
though it covers most of what you'll find in regular play. Please see
the SLR (Short Logical Ruleset) in the event of any unusual circumstance
such as a tournament, election, Holiday, etc.. Most of the rules text
used to prevent breaking the game has also been omitted, so if you want
to try any scamming, loopholing, or other shenanigans, do your research
first, and good luck! **

For all those new to Agora, or those tired of reading so many rules.


Base Rules:
[Players and Taking Actions] 5 Rules
[Proposals] 7 Rules
[Voting on Proposals] 8 Rules
[Offices] 9 Rules
[Breaking the Rules] 3 Rules
[Calls for Judgement] 2 Rules
[Obligations and Contracts] 5 Rules
[Assets and the L] 5 Rules
[Winning the Game] 3 Rules

Subgames of Agora:
[Radiance] 1 Rule
[Stamps] 3 Rules
[Dream of Wandering] 1 Rule
[Crystals] 1 Rule
[Stones] 6 Rules
[The Prime Minister] 3 Rules
[Ribbons] 1 Rule







AGORA IS A NOMIC (where the rules change by proposal, and the gamestate
is tracked by offices, played over an email list.)

Agora uses e/em/eir pronouns for all players, especially in the rules,
to be more clear about referring to a single player.



How to Join and Leave Agora

  A person CAN register by announcement.

  A player CAN deregister (cease being a player)
  by announcement. If e does so, e CANNOT register for 30 days.


Taking Actions

  To "publish" or "announce" something is to send a public message
  whose body contains that thing. **Such as in a message sent to
  agora-business@agoranomic.org**

  Where the rules define an action that a person CAN perform "by
  announcement", that person performs that action by, in a single
  public message, specifying the action and setting forth intent to
  perform that action by sending that message.


Activity

  A player CAN activate or deactivate emself by announcement.

  Any player CAN, with notice, make a player who has not made a
  public announcement in the past 30 days inactive.

  If a player has been inactive continuously for the past 60 days,
  then any player CAN deregister em without 3 objections. The
  Registrar SHOULD attempt to deregister players who meet this
  condition. The publication of intent for such a deregistration
  SHOULD be sent to the inactive player's registered email address
  at the same time that it is published.



General Definitions

Mother, May I?

  The following terms are defined.

  1. CANNOT, IMPOSSIBLE, INEFFECTIVE: Attempts to perform
 the described action are unsuccessful.

  2. SHALL NOT, ILLEGAL, PROHIBITED: Performing
 the described action violates the rule in question.

  3. NEED NOT, OPTIONAL: Failing to perform the described action
 does not violate the rules.

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

  5. CAN, POSSIBLE, EFFECTIVE, VALID: Attempts to perform the
 described action are successful.

  6. MAY, LEGAL, PERMISSIBLE: Performing the described action does
 not violate the rules.

  7. MUST, SHALL, REQUIRED, MANDATORY: Failing to perform the
 described action violates the rule in question.

  8. 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.


Tabled Actions

  Tabled actions are like by-announcement actions, with the
  following conditions.

  You must intend to take the action first, by announcement,
  including the method (with 2 support, with 2 days notice, etc.),

  Any player CAN, by announcement, Shatter the System, specifying
  each crystallized player, and provided that no player has done so
  in the past 30 days. When a player does so, each crystallized
  player wins the game.

  If at least 4 days have passed since any player won the game in
  this manner, any player CAN repeal this rule by announcement.

Arguments for TRUE:

A rule change is wholly prevented from taking effect unless its
  full text was published, along with an unambiguous and clear
  specification of the method to be used for changing the rule, at
  least 4 days and no more than 60 days before it would otherwise
  take effect.
If we assume the full text was published, all that remains is a specification 
of the method for these rule changes to work. Luckily, it isn't a requirement 
that it be posted in the same message as the full text of the rule change. It's 
merely required to be "along with". The regular publishing of the SLR, along 
with the Distribution text which refers to mechanisms in the rules that would 
perform the rule change, work together to fulfill this requirement.
It's clear to see we know what method was being used to change the rules in a 
distribution, and this is because we know the rules. Them being published 
regularly has saved us, because they're so clear and unambiguous about the 
methods to be used for changing the rules, even giving us information about in 
what cases the changes would or would not happen.

I note that snail committed the infraction of breaking Rule 2471 (No Faking) in 
the above quoted message.

CFJ: The quoted message contains a game action.

Arguments for PARADOXICAL: the potential game action in question is a crime. If 
a crime was committed, the statement is true, and thus no crime was committed. 
But if no crime was committed, the statement is false, and a crime was 
committed.

Also this has real consequences because the referee now may have an obligation 
to investigate the crime.

 I submit the following proposal:

{
Title: Vacations v4
Adoption Index: 3.0
Author: snail
Co-authors: nix, Janet, 4st, Yachay, G., juan, Murphy, ais523

[This proposal adds Vacations and Delegation, which encourage officers
to take time off and give the responsibility to someone else for a
while. Not only is this intended to reduce burnout for officers, but it
is also intended to be an opportunity for other players to learn an
office without fully committing to it. snail's note: this version allows a
delegate to resign by announcement. This should work fine: anyone can then
become the delegate with Agoran Consent, or by the officer making an intent
to give another player delegate (perhaps their second choice).]

Amend R2438 by replacing "Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an
office" with "Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office or is the
delegate for an office while its holder is on vacation."

Enact a new Power=3 rule titled "Vacations & Delegation" with the
following text:

Delegate is an Office switch with possible values of "None" and
any active player, and default value of "None". Delegates are
tracked by the ADoP in eir weekly report.

A player CAN flip the Delegate switch of a specified office to
emself with Agoran Consent. If the Delegate switch of an office is
set to "None", the holder of that office CAN flip the Delegate
switch of that office to a specified player with support from that
specified player.

An officer CAN and SHOULD take a Vacation from a specified office e
has continuously held for over 6 months with 7 day notice, if e has
not done so in the last year. When an officer qualifies for a
Vacation, the ADoP SHOULD encourage em to take one, at least once a
quarter.

An officer is On Vacation from a specified office if e has taken a
Vacation from that office in the last 30 days. The list of officers
currently on vacation is part of the ADoP's report.

While the holder of an office is On Vacation, the Delegate of that
office CAN perform an action ordinarily reserved for the office-holder
as if e held the office, if it would be POSSIBLE for the Delegate to
perform the action, other than by this method, if e held the office.

Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, while an officer is On
Vacation that officer NEED NOT comply with any duties of that
office, and the Delegate, if any, SHALL comply with all duties of
the office as if e held the office.

The Delegate of an office CANNOT resign it. E CAN, by announcement,
flip the Delegate
switch of that office to "None".

BUS: (@Collector) So welcome

[secretsnail9 via agora-business]

I grant myself a welcome package.

I don't think i've gotten one yet.

CFJ: snail was granted a stamp in this message.

arguments for TRUE:
When i registered, i was granted some assets that did not include a
stamp of my own type. So, since a welcome package is a set of assets
containing one stamp of my own type, i never received one, and thus
the grant in this message succeeded. The rule doesn't really track the
previous "welcome package" because it's no longer a welcome package as
defined by the rules. If anyone had tried this before and we assumed
it failed, that'd be a point for game custom, but it seems like nobody
has so it's free game! Since you can only do it once, it's fun and
good for the game, and it isn't exactly anti-common sense. Now i just
hope there's no precedence otherwise.

arguments for FALSE:
I have at one point received a snail stamp from a wealth dream. If
that counts as receiving a welcome package, then it's FALSE. But that
seems to go against the intent of the rule and could break things.

BUS: [Proposal] Vacations v2

[secretsnail9 via agora-business]

I submit the following proposal:

{{{
Title: Vacations v2
Adoption Index: 3.0
Author: snail
Co-authors: nix, Janet, 4st, Yachay, G., juan, Murphy

[This proposal adds Vacations and Delegation, which encourage officers
to take time off and give the responsibility to someone else for a
while. Not only is this intended to reduce burnout for officers, but it
is also intended to be an opportunity for other players to learn an
office without fully committing to it.
Snail's note: edited to reduce the ability to abuse the system, delegates
are now opt-in only, so players can't be forced to be a delegate. Also
further specified the deputization-like acting as an officer a delegate
does.]

Amend R2438 by replacing "Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an
office" with "Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office or is the
delegate for an office while its holder is on vacation."

Enact a new Power=3 rule titled "Vacations & Delegation" with the
following text:

{
Delegate is an Office switch with possible values of "None" and
any Delegatable player, and default value of "None". Delegates are
tracked by the ADoP in eir weekly report. Delegatable is a negative
boolean player switch tracked by the ADoP. A player CAN flip their
Delegatable switch to True or False by announcement.

A player CAN flip the Delegate switch of a specified office to
emself with Agoran Consent. If the Delegate switch of an office is
set to "None", the holder of that office CAN flip the Delegate
switch of that office to a specified player with notice.

An officer CAN and SHOULD take a Vacation from a specified office e
has continuously held for over 6 months with 7 day notice, if e has
not done so in the last year. When an officer qualifies for a
Vacation, the ADoP SHOULD encourage em to take one, at least once a
quarter.

An officer is On Vacation from a specified office if e has taken a
Vacation from that office in the last 30 days. The list of officers
currently on vacation is part of the ADoP's report.

While the holder of an office is On Vacation, the Delegate of that
office CAN perform an action ordinarily reserved for the office-holder
as if e held the office, if it would be POSSIBLE for the Delegate to
perform the action, other than by this method, if e held the office.

Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, while an officer is On
Vacation that officer NEED NOT comply with any duties of that
office, and the Delegate, if any, SHALL comply with all duties of
the office as if e held the office.

BUS: [Proposal] A bit of chance

[secretsnail9 via agora-business]

I submit the following proposal:

{{{
Title: The Stamp Raffle
Adoption Index: 1.0
Author: snail
Co-authors:

Amend Rule 2659 (Stamps) by replacing "Stamps are a category of asset
ownable by players." with "Stamps are a category of asset ownable by
players and Agora.".

Enact a new rule with title "The Stamp Raffle" and the following text:
{

Once per week, each player CAN enter the raffle by paying a fee of 1 stamp
of eir own type to Agora.

Once each week, the Collector CAN and SHALL publish a Raffle Result by
announcement, containing a list of players that entered the raffle in the
previous week (the participants of the raffle) and the selection of a
random player from that list (the winner of the raffle) if it is not empty.

When a Raffle Result is published, each stamp that was owned by Agora at
the start of the current week is transferred to the winner of the raffle
(if there is one), and each participant of the raffle gains 1 radiance.
