 Proposal 7621 (by G., AI-3, Ordinary)
 Further Patent Cleanup

 [Cleaning up some duplicitous and/or never-used wording, especially
 using secured to cover the older limitations.]

 Amend Rule 649 (Patent Titles) to read:

   A Patent Title is a legal title given to a person in recognition
   of the person's distinction.  The Herald is an office; its
   holder is responsible for tracking Patent Titles in eir monthly
   report.

   Awarding or revoking a Patent Title is secured.  A person
   permitted and enabled to award (revoke) a Patent Title SHALL do
   so in a timely fashion after the conditions authorizing em to do
   so are announced, unless there is an open judicial case
   contesting the validity of those conditions.

   The Herald CAN award a specified Patent Title not already
   defined by any Rule or held by any entity to a specified player
   With 2 Agoran Consent.


 Amend Rule 2231 (Order of the Hero of Agora Nomic) to read:

   Heroic titles are Agora's premier patent titles of distinction,
   and CAN be awarded to persons for meritorious service only by
   a proposal of power 3 or greater, which SHOULD explain why
   those persons are qualified.  Bearers of heroic titles (Heros)
   constitute the Order of the Hero of Agora Nomic.

   The Heroic titles in decreasing precedence are:

   Grand Hero of Agora Nomic (GHAN) -- This title may be awarded to
   any person obviously and directly responsible for the existence
   of Agora and/or Nomic in general.  As this title is the highest
   honour that Agora may bestow, a Bearer of this title OUGHT to be
   treated right good forever.

   Hero of Agora Nomic (HAN) -- This title may be awarded to any
   person for outstanding meritorious service to Agora above and
   beyond the call of duty.

 

 Proposal 7622 (by Yally, AI-3, Ordinary)
 A long time coming

 Award G. the patent title Hero of Agora Nomic, as defined in Rule 2231.

 

 Proposal 7623 (by G., AI-1, Ordinary)
 judicial patch

 Amend Rule 2175 (Judicial Retraction and Excess) by
 replacing 'Clerk of the Courts' with 'Speaker'.

 

 Proposal 7624 (by Shredder, AI-1, Ordinary)
 Reduce Typos In Your Ruleset With This 1 Weird Trick

 Amend Rule 2138 by replacing the text an yother with the text any
 other.

 



I vote FOR all of these.

The SLR is not a unique document; you would have to go with most
recently published SLR (which might open it up to scamming by the
rulekeepor) or just go with the text of the rules, which exist
platonically.


Most recently ratified, perhaps?



DIS: An Updated Agoran Library

2014-02-02 Thread Nicholas Evans
I am now maintaining a new library of Agoran Theses: 
http://hearthgate.net/nomic/agoran_library/


These within the library are categorized as either histories or theory 
papers, for now. If I have missed any or have made mistakes, please tell me.


In the future, I hope to collect other documents related to nomic to 
host alongside the agoran library.
