The reason you don't is so that Power-1 statutes can award black
ribbons, because awarding the ribbon is secured, but earning it is not.

Rule 2438 says:

The proposal caused some people to earn black ribbons, so Rule 2438
awarded them black ribbons.

If you're labeling the title with a colon, you shouldn't also use
quotes. With both the colon and the quotes, it looks (to me, at least)
like the quotes might be part of the title.

PROMOTOR'S REPORT AS OF RIGHT NOW

The proposal pool contains the following proposals:

Jason1.0   More officer cards
Murphy, R. Lee   3.0   Simpler ribbon switches
Murphy, CB   3.0   Clarify asset ownership

Legend: * : Democratic proposal.

the information shown below differs from the information shown above,
the information shown above shall control.

Title: More officer cards
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors:


Amend Rule 2624 (Card Administration) by replacing the final paragraph
(including the list) with the following:

{

  The officeholder of an office CAN by announcement grant another player a
  specified type of card, specifying that office, under the following
  conditions:

  * e has not done so in reference to that office in the current Agoran month,

  * that office's interests includes the card's associated ministry,

  * the player receiving the card does not hold an office with the card's
  associated ministry in its interests, and

  * the player receiving the card is not a zombie.

}

//
Title: Simpler ribbon switches
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Murphy
Co-authors: R. Lee


Amend Rule 2438 (Ribbons) by replacing this text:

  Ribbon Ownership is a secured person switch, tracked by the
  Tailor in eir monthly report, whose values are the subsets of
  the set of types of Ribbon, defaulting to the empty set. If the
  rules are amended to change the types of Ribbon, if a player's
  Ribbon Ownership is subsequently illegal, then it is updated by
  removing all nonexistent types rather than resetting the entire
  value to default.

  To "award a person a " is to add that type of Ribbon
  to that person's Ribbon Ownership. A person "owns a "
  if that type of Ribbon is an element of eir Ribbon Ownership.

with this text:

  For each type of Ribbon,  Ribbon Ownership is a secured
  negative boolean person switch, tracked by the Tailor in eir
  monthly report.

  To "award a person a " is to flip that person's
   Ribbon Ownership to True. A person "owns a " if eir  Ribbon Ownership is True.

and by replacing this text:

  While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a
  Banner by announcement. This causes that person to win the game.
  That person's Ribbon Ownership becomes the empty set.

with this text:

  While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a
  Banner by announcement. This causes that person to win the game.
  When a person wins this way, for each type of Ribbon, that
  person's  Ribbon Ownership is flipped to False.

For each type of Ribbon, for each person whose Ribbon Ownership prior to
the adoption of this proposal included that type, flip eir 
Ribbon Ownership to True.

//
Title: Clarify asset ownership
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Murphy
Co-authors: CuddleBeam


Amend Rule 2576 (Ownership) to read:

  Each asset has exactly one owner.

  If ownership of an asset is restricted to a class of entities,
  then that asset CANNOT be gained by or transferred to an entity
  outside that class. By default, ownership of an asset is
  restricted to Agora, players, and contracts, but an asset's
  backing document may modify this.

  If an asset's owner would otherwise be nonexistent, indeterminate,
  or invalid, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if
  possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its
  backing document. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lost
  and Found Department can own assets of every type. Assets owned by
  the Lost and Found Department can be transferred or destroyed by
  any player without objection.

H. Judge Publius,

it looks like you removed the above sentence added by the 'anonymous'
proposal in the latest rules; I was looking for where you resolved the old
proposals and announced the deletion of this sentence?  Or did you judge
that the previous ones that had enough Against votes to have been
"resolved in some manner" before the 'anonymous' proposal was adopted,
even if the results/voting totals were never announced?  (sorry if I'm

I really dislike the randomness element. It's aesthetically and
