DIS: [Proto-Contract] The Protector of Stones
This is an idea for a contract allowing me to auction off usages of the
Protection Stone. It's a bit unwieldy (hah) and I'm also fine to work
out smaller temporary deals by private means.
{{{
Any player can join this contract. Players CANNOT leave this contract
during auction time.
The owner of the Protection Stone is known as the Protector. The
Protector CAN, during free time, amend this contract with notice.
Protection shards are a class of untracked, nontransferrable assets,
ownable only by players. At the end of each Agoran month all protection
shards are destroyed.
The Protector CAN, during free time, start an auction for a new
protection shard. The Protector CAN distribute prizes for such an
auction if it is within the final day of the Agoran month, regardless of
the definition of the auction method e chooses. Parties to this contract
consent to acting on behalf for transferral of assets pertaining to this
type of auction.
The owner of a protection shard CAN destroy it to act on behalf of the
Protector to wield the Protection Stone, specifying all required
parameters.
It is free time while there are no auctions ongoing which were started
by this contract. It is auction time when it is not free time.

DIS: [Promotor] Quick Update and Apologies
Hi all! I've had a very busy few days, culminating in the internet deciding to stop working right when I was trying to assemble a report yesterday. That being said, I expect to have a draft report out within the next ~16 hours, and a full report not too long after that. I apologize for the inconvenience. -Aspen

Selling might be a good strategy depending on your goals (e.g. whether you're trying to win this time versus selling for coins to hold, and use the coins to win next time). The value of these things can be highly volatile. If you've got the last card needs for someone else's win, sky's the limit (or at least say 2000 coins based on past wins). But on the flipside, value becomes 0 if you hold too long and a win happens. Most recently, the last auctioned victory card went for 629 coins (which was probably artificially low due to the risk of gaining the other, much less valuable auction item). The top bid in the current auction (for one VC) is 1717 coins, with multiple bids higher than 1000. At the very least, if you're selling you'd *definitely* want to consider multiple offers for a single card, hugely multiplied if you're thinking of selling your focus grant ability. -G.

I have to announce that I intend not to actively participate in the discussions via email, IRC or Discord. By limiting myself only to interaction via the business list, I want to create a situation to learn only by direct interaction with Agorans bounded by the Ruleset. So, after this message informing my fellow Agorans about this strategy, I'll be silent here until I am unable to proceed with my strategy or decide to change it. Of course my previous remark about creating too much noise still stands. Not sending messages myself, doesn't mean I am not open to messages from others. -- D. Wet www.nomica.nl Cuddle Beam, thank you for interest in me. However, I do not consent to the contract "AYO WASSUP DWET". According to Rule 1742 I will not become a party of it. Also, I am not interested in selling my Victory Card and/or Focus gains. Since they are in the Welcome Package I assume they have value, but I can't estimate how much yet. Therefore I hold on to both of them. --- D. Wet www.nomica.nl
