Has anybody been not receiving rulesets? Telna says on Discord that e
has only been receiving ACORNs.



For everyone not following this story, the rulesets were just landing in 
Telna's spam folder. No need to worry about this anymore.


But for the record, I have been receiving them.

DIS: Draft to make the stone proposal clearer (happy G?)

[Sarah S. via agora-discussion]

Title: Paschal English sucked (literally?)
AI: 2
Coauthor: G
Amend rule 2642, 'Distributing Stones' by replacing its second paragraph
with 'The Stonemason SHALL if possible initiate such an auction monthly and
only once a month, in a timely fashion after a collection notice has been
issued. The Stonemason SHALL auction exactly 2 stones in a month if
possible'

Retitle rule 2644 'The Gauntlet' to 'Zen Gardening' [cosmetic change to
remove the annoying movie reference that I discussed once on discord]

Amend rule 2644 by replacing any instances of the word 'Gauntlet' with
'Rock Garden' [sorry for the bad way of putting this, but this rule might
get amended soon so I have to do it for safety]

Amend rule 2644 by replacing '5 or more' with '8 or more'

Amend rule 2645 'The Stones' by adding the following text on the end.
"-  Recursion Stone (Monthly, 80%): The recursion stone can be wielded once
per
month as if it had the power of any other stone of your choice.

- Hot Potato Stone (Weekly, 100%): This stone obeys special rules that
override other applicable rules to the extent they conflict. When this
stone is wielded, the wielder gains 8 boatloads of coins if the wielder, in
the same message as the wielding, transfers this stone to a player who has
not owned this stone since Agora last owned it. This stone is never
collected if 3 or more players have wielded it in the most recent Agoran
month.

Blank Stone (Monthly, 5%): This stone has no effect.

Alchemy Stone (weekly, 70%): Destroy four cards you own. If four cards were
destroyed this way, gain 7 products of your choice"

Title: The Device (mark 2)
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: G.
Co-authors: Murphy


[inspired by Rules 2192-2193, "The Monster", by Murphy]


Enact a Rule "The Device" with the following text:

 When the device is on:
   * click - hummm

 When the device is off:
   * whirr - THUNK


Enact a Rule "The Mad Engineer" with the following text:

 The Mad Engineer is an office; its holder is responsible for
 building and maintaining the Device.  The device is a
 singleton switch with values off (default) and on.  The Mad
 Engineer CAN flip the device to either on or off with Agoran
 Consent; any other player CAN do so with 2 Agoran Consent.

 The Mad Engineer CAN act on behalf of
 the device to take any action that the device may take, and
 SHALL act on behalf of the device to ensure that the device
 fulfills all of its duties.

 The Mad Engineer's weekly duties include the performance of the
 following tasks, in order:

 a) Randomly select exactly one rule.  If the selected rule is
either this rule or the rule "The Device", then
007 has been spotted near the self-destruct button; skip
directly to proposal submission.

 b) Select one or more contiguous sentences from the selected
rule.

 c) Select exactly one noun from the selected text, and replace
each instance of that noun with "Device" (including
grammatical variations, e.g. replacing "'s" with
"Device's").

 d) Announce intent to, with Agoran Consent, cause this rule
to amend the rule "The Device" by inserting the modified
text as the last list item in either the "device on" or
"device off" lists in that rule (or, if 007 has been
spotted, to repeal both that rule and this one).
This intent announcement counts as the Mad Engineers's weekly
report.

 If the announcement of intent above is made with the procedure
 described above, the Mad Engineer CAN, with Agoran Consent, cause
 this rule to amend the rule "The Device" as indicated, and SHALL
 do so if the intent receives sufficient support.

[snip]

The parts about self-destruction seem broken to me.  They switch 
ambiguously between whether it shall happen by proposal or with intent, 
neither clearly requiring either nor enabling the latter.


Greetings,
Ørjan.

I feel sympathy for our brave Promotor.

You have asserted this, but I disagree - I personally think it's a hot mess.
