It definitely shouldn't permit outsourcing. I would not want to allow
a contract that allows for someone to deregister a player, or to start
a festival. However, the protection of official actions has probably
outlived its usefulness. Proto (also fixes an unrelated typo):

Title: Contract Flexibility Act
Adoption index: 2.6
Author: Aris
Co-author(s): V.J. Rada

Amend Rule 2525, Interpreting Contracts, by:

  Removing item 6 of the numbered list and renumbering appropriately; and
  Changing the phrase "failing protected action" to read "failing to preform
  a protected action".

Oh that's a good idea, a contracted replacement. Unfortunately, I don't see
myself being less busy in the near future so an election is probably in
order. Maybe in the new year? That's probably a bit too long given the pace
the game is running recently.

DIS: Re: BUS: zombie-related CFJ


Gratuitous Argument:
Rule 2466 ("Acting on Behalf") is very clear in its function. When 
acting on behalf of another, the agent is still the one performing the 
action.
It also explicitly disallows acting on behalf to send a message: "in 
particular, a person CANNOT act on behalf of another person to send a 
message, only to perform specific actions that might be taken within a 
message."
While the action is considered to have been performed by the principal, 
the message is not - and Rule 869 ("How to Join and Leave Agora") makes 
it clear that it is sending the message that makes someone ineligible 
for inactivity-based deregistration. I do not see room for ambiguity or 
alternate interpretations here.

I vividly remember resolving a PM election in favour of K, who
deregistered midway through the voting period but still one: and I
also remember reading the rules quite carefully to support that
conclusion (which nobody disputed). That's the only precedent I can

is broken in a bad way. Rules have been power creeping for a long time,
largely as a result of exactly this property. The most boring and trivial
definitions are moving up to high powers because they are needed to protect
higher-powered rules, and as a result we have discussions like whether the
definition of a "month" needs to be made power 3 to work correctly.

(It's worth noting that there's also a power-2 -> power-3 escalation that
has been sitting in the ruleset since before I joined the game for the
first time, and never been used, so this gives an idea of the sort of
importance of protecting higher-power rules by lower-power ones).

Perhaps we should be less strict, and explicitly permit low-powered rules
to introduce clarifying definitions, as long as the higher-powered rule is
not subverted in the process. A month must always be a month, to some
sensible degree, but whether one month after January 29 in a non-leap year
is February 28, or March 1 is up to a precise definition.

"I pledge to transfer 5 shinies to the author of the first proposal that
gives the Rulekeepor authority, under Cleanup Time, to additionally
correct, at least: missing periods at the end of sentences, inconsistently
spelled game terminology, and pronoun use (including inappropriate use of
Spivak pronouns in plural contexts)."

Just looks like someone has to author one to me. I suppose the word
"gives" could mean actually affects the game instead of just the words
in the proposal. This isn't CFJ resolvable now, because of how pledges
work.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Re: OFF: [Herald] Medal of Honor Decision initiation

In general, nothing prevents valid options from changing during the
voting period.

For example, in the previous version of elections (before we had a
nomination period), the valid options were lists of players.  If
someone registered midway through an election, they could become
valid  (and likewise if someone deregistered they ceased to be valid).

At least, I think this is how it worked - can't remember when it was
last tested with a CFJ.

Re: DIS: Re: OFF: [Arbitor] CFJ 3594 assigned to Telnaior

I'd really love to see a ruleset ordered by power, so we can see if it 
still works at every step down the ladder. The intent I get from the 
precedent rules are that the power 4 rules should all stand without 
external support, then all the 4+3.9 rules, then all the 3-4 rules, etc.

Well, a major result of the "destroy the universe" CFJ was that we might
want to make the passage of time something we protect up there at high
levels...

Re: DIS: Re: OFF: [Arbitor] CFJ 3594 assigned to Telnaior

I mean I'd hope it's not always exactly 30 days, but that's good to note 
as well. Definitely leaning more towards my initial assessment again 
now, that declaring oneself eligible is simply possible any time (but 
not particularly helpful if it's after the herald initiates the decision).

This is definitely not true because we know that common meaning in
higher powered rules actually overrides explicit definitions in lower
powered rules (yes, this is weird, but it is true under 217
"Definitions in lower-powered Rules do not overrule common-sense
interpretations or common definitions of terms in higher-powered
rules."). The common definition of a month is 30 days. Obviously.

Okay, so that'll save us from being doomed to 7-day months at least (it 
might doom us to 14-day months, but that'd require a particularly 
circuitous explanation that would probably be in bad faith).

The only other comment I have is that later in the same rule,
it says "the first seven days of the month" and the second 7 days,
and so the rule may be self-contradictory, in which case by R2240,
the later clause beats the earlier clause (same net result).

I don't think this creates a new rule: rather an endless obligation by

Alternatively, since 1023 ("Agoran Time") specifies only when Agoran 
Months start, and makes no claim about how long they last or even that 
we always be within one, Rule 2529 ("Medals of Honour") could be 
interpreted to clarify that an Agoran Month only lasts seven days, and 
the rest of the calendar month we aren't in any Agoran Month at all. I'm 
a little averse to this one because of how much it could break, but it's

This is actually pretty urgent to judge because if G. is eligible,
that creates an obligation on the Herald that must (and CAN only) be
satisfied today or tomorrow. Wheras if e isn't, nobody else is.
Otherwise, no comment on the merits.

Politicians are entities; each Politician has a name and an
associated Party. Politicians exist only as specified by the
rules. Creating, altering, or destroying Politicians is

secured.

If there are ever fewer than 20 Politicians, then the Clork CAN

eir Party and name. The Party must be selected at random from:

- If any Party has fewer than 3 Politicans, the Party or

Parties

  with the fewest.
- Otherwise, the Parties with fewer than 5 Politicians.

Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Clork", reading as follows:

The Clork (pronounced "clark") is an office. The Clork's weekly
report includes:
- a list of all Politicans with their names and Parties.
- the assignment of Policies to Parties.

The portion of a document purporting to be a Clork's report
containing the above information is self-ratifying.

Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Echelon Forms", reading as follows:

A Post is a position which can be held by at most one

Politician.

Each Politican can hold at most one Post at a time. Each Post

is

in an Echelon, which has an associated Rank. The Echelons, and
their Posts and Ranks, are as follows:

Chamber of Power (Rank 5):
- Host
Upper Echelon (Rank 3):
- Planner
- Enforcer
- Organizer
- Creep
Row Echelon (Rank 1):
- Schmoozer
- Decorator
- Loner
- Drunk
- Mystery
- Wild One
- Hat Rack

Each Politician who holds a Post is in the Echelon of that

post;

other Politicians are in the Row-Reduced Echelon, which has

Rank

0. Likewise, the Rank of a Post or Politician is the Rank of

their

Echelon.

If a rule provides that a Post can take an action, then the
Advisor of the holder of that Post CAN take that action. If

there

is no such player, and the Post is required to take that

action,

then the Clork CAN do it prior to any deadline for its
performance. After a deadline for a Post to perform an action,

any

player CAN take it.
Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Taken Under Advisement", reading as

Advisor is a Politician switch, tracked by the Clork, with
possible values all players and none (default). For each
Politician, Influence over  is a natural player
switch, tracked by the Clork.

A player CAN, by announcement, spend Favours in a Party to gain
Influence over that Politican, depending on the Politician's
Echelon:
- Chamber of Power: 3 Favours for 2 Influence
- Upper Echelon: 1 Favour for 1 Influence
- Row Echelon: 2 Favours for 3 Influence
- Row-Reduced Echelon: 1 Favour for 2 Influence

If a player has more Influence over a given Politician than any

My instinct here is to say that this rule is attempting to claim that an 
Agoran Month is seven days long, and also that a player can declare 
emself eligible during an Agoran Month. The first claim is overridden by 
Rule 1023 ("Agoran Time"), while the second claim goes untouched - and 
as we are always within an Agoran Month, a player can always declare 
emself eligible and that this would be TRUE. Anything I'm missing or any

There's a pending CFJ contending that it isn't silly, is the reason e

Pretty self-explanatory. I think it does include puns, but that doesn't

Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Political Parties", reading as
follows:

   There are 5 Parties, in order:

   - Platonic Isolationists
   - New Punchbowl Reformers
   - Costume Conservatives
   - Substance Use Liberals
   - Official Raving Monster Looney Party

   Politicians are entities; each Politician has a name and an
   associated Party. Politicians exist only as specified by the
   rules. Creating, altering, or destroying Politicians is secured.

   If there are ever fewer than 20 Politicians, then the Clork CAN
   and SHALL, by announcement, create a new Politician, specifying
   eir Party and name. The Party must be selected at random from:

   - If any Party has fewer than 3 Politicans, the Party or Parties
 with the fewest.
   - Otherwise, the Parties with fewer than 5 Politicians.

Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Clork", reading as follows:

   The Clork (pronounced "clark") is an office. The Clork's weekly
   report includes:
   - a list of all Politicans with their names and Parties.
   - the assignment of Policies to Parties.

   The portion of a document purporting to be a Clork's report
   containing the above information is self-ratifying.

Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Echelon Forms", reading as follows:

   A Post is a position which can be held by at most one Politician.
   Each Politican can hold at most one Post at a time. Each Post is
   in an Echelon, which has an associated Rank. The Echelons, and
   their Posts and Ranks, are as follows:

   Chamber of Power (Rank 5):
   - Host
   Upper Echelon (Rank 3):
   - Planner
   - Enforcer
   - Organizer
   - Creep
   Row Echelon (Rank 1):
   - Schmoozer
   - Decorator
   - Loner
   - Drunk
   - Mystery
   - Wild One
   - Hat Rack

   Each Politician who holds a Post is in the Echelon of that post;
   other Politicians are in the Row-Reduced Echelon, which has Rank
   0. Likewise, the Rank of a Post or Politician is the Rank of their
   Echelon.

   If a rule provides that a Post can take an action, then the
   Advisor of the holder of that Post CAN take that action. If there
   is no such player, and the Post is required to take that action,
   then the Clork CAN do it prior to any deadline for its
   performance. After a deadline for a Post to perform an action, any
   player CAN take it.
Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Taken Under Advisement", reading as
follows:

   Advisor is a Politician switch, tracked by the Clork, with
   possible values all players and none (default). For each
   Politician, Influence over  is a natural player
   switch, tracked by the Clork.

   A player CAN, by announcement, spend Favours in a Party to gain
   Influence over that Politican, depending on the Politician's
   Echelon:
   - Chamber of Power: 3 Favours for 2 Influence
   - Upper Echelon: 1 Favour for 1 Influence
   - Row Echelon: 2 Favours for 3 Influence
   - Row-Reduced Echelon: 1 Favour for 2 Influence

   If a player has more Influence over a given Politician than any
   other player, e can Advise that Politican by announcement. When e
   does so, if no other player Advises the same Politician later in
   the same Agoran week, then at the start of the next Agoran week,
   that player becomes that Politician's Advisor.

Enact a new power-2 rule entitled "Balloons", reading as follows:

   Balloons are a fixed currency, tracked by the Clork, with
   ownership restricted to players. Creation or destruction of
   balloons is secured.

   At the start of each Agoran week, after Advisors are flipped:
   - For each player, if e owns more Balloons than e was awarded by
 this procedure at the start of the previous week, any excess
 Balloons are destroyed.
   - Each player is awarded Balloons equal to the sum of the Ranks of
 the Politicians for which e is Advisor.
   - The Decorator's Advisor, if any is awarded one additional
 Balloon.

   A player CAN, by announcement, spend a Balloon e owns to increase

Will do and appreciated.  (Night gets pretty much the same load as Day 
except when there's urgent cases, so it's not as uneven as it looks).

And yeah - I've noted that your tendency to call a lot means there
are fewer that I can assign you to!  About half your light load to

Ooh, I like this.  "Whenever a zombie has agora for a master" we get

I'd take a "nuke it from orbit" approach at this point, and 
excessively codify this into a formal Method (might be word-
smithed to be shortened, but keep all the ideas in the following:

If the rules specify that an action is performed by paying
or spending to do it, or that a non-negative currency-
denominated cost, price, or fee is associated with performing
it, then the action is performed by
paying the exact specified amount in a single
transaction for the announced purpose of performing that
action.  If the rules do not specify another recipient for
the funds, the funds must be paid to Agora.
If the currency transaction fails then the action
fails.  If the action fails for other reasons, then the
currency transaction fails.  If the currency of payment is
not specified, the default is shinies.

Does that cover everything?

I think the Reportor office is a bit too pragmatic in general. I think some 
fixing could be done.

I mean, if you can't even report your own Bard award to be "significant
or interesting", that's just very limited.

Do others have feelings on appropriate minimum effort?

  Detective Institute Opens Doors

Aspiring investigators can now help Agoran citizens with solving mysteries
with
the help of the newly opened Sherlock Holmes Institute. All mysteries,
large and
small, are welcome; if a mystery is brought to the institute and its
top-notch
investigators cannot resolve the case in a reasonable time frame, you get
your
money back and then some for the inconvenience.

  Detective Institute Opens Doors

Aspiring investigators can now help Agoran citizens with solving mysteries
with
the help of the newly opened Sherlock Holmes Institute. All mysteries,
large and

investigators cannot resolve the case in a reasonable time frame, you get

Really we should put a word minimum on the newspaper; there were more
activities going on this week and this seems very low-effort to me.

I mean, if you can't even report your own Bard award to be "significant 
or interesting", that's just very limited.

Re: DIS: Auctions v4


My original intent with this was any one item, however I'm not sure what o 
intended.

Any in this type of situation always trips me up, although there may

"The Registrar's monthly report includes:

For each former player for which the information is reasonably
available, the dates on which e registered and deregistered."

Dates, but not reasons, no.
