[ I implemented Aris's ideas and also changed a few things that were
bugging me. ]
[ PART I: Removing and Changing Stuff ]
Repeal rules 2488 "The Surveyor", 2489 "Estates", 2490 "Estate Ballots",
2491 "Estate Auctions", 2501 "Farm Rate", 2502 "Agoraculture", 2503
"Comestibles", and 2504 "The Agronomist".
[ Comestibles will probably be removed soon enough, so maybe removing
them right now isn't completely necessary. ]
Repeal rule 2500 "Action Points".
Amend rule 2445 "How to Pend a Proposal" by replacing the second
paragraph and subsequent list with:
Any player CAN flip a specified proposal's imminence to "pending"
by announcement by spending 1 paper.
Amend rule 991 "Calls for Judgement" by removing the list directly
following the first paragraph, and replacing the first paragraph with
the following:
Any person (the initiator) can initiate a Call for Judgement (CFJ,
syn. Judicial Case), specifying a statement to be inquired into by
announcement.
[ Hold up. Before you complain about this being illogical, just know
that there are plans for this section. ]
Repeal rules 2483 "Economics", 2487 "Shiny Supply Level", and 2497
"Floating Value".
Amend rule 2516 "Passive Income" by replacing it in full with:
As part of eir monthly duties, the Treasuror SHALL create the
following assets in possession of every player:
1. 10 coins
2. 5 apples
3. 3 papers
[ This makes it so that impoverished players can move a little each week
and make some proposals. ]
Amend rule 2599 "Welcome Packages" by replacing the second paragraph
with:
When a player receives a Welcome Package, Agora creates the
following assets in eir possession:
1. 20 coins
2. 5 lumber
3. 5 stones
4. 10 apples
5. 3 papers
Make all players eligable to recieve Welcome Packages.
[PART II: Making Land]
Re-enact rule 1993/1 (Power=2) "The Land of Arcadia" with the text:
Arcadia is a land entirely defined by the Arcadian Map (the Map).
The Map is the term for the set of all Land Units.
The Map divides Arcadia into a finite, discrete number of Units of
Land, or simply Land. Each Unit of Land is an indestructible asset
specified by an ordered pair of integers known as its Latitude and
Longitude.
Every unique ordered pair of integers within the limits defined in
the Rules for Latitude and Longitude signifies an existent Unit of
Land. No other Units of Land exist. Units of Land CAN only be
created or destroyed by changing the limits of Latitude and
Longitude defined in the Rules.
All values for Latitude and Longitude MUST lie between -9 and +9,
inclusive.
The Total Land Area of Arcadia is the number of existent Units of
Land defined by permissible Latitude and Longitude pairs.
Re-enact rule 1994/0 (Power=2) "Ownership of Land" with the text:
Any existent Land for which ownership has not been explicitly
changed belongs to Agora.
Land belonging to Agora is called Public Land. Land belonging to
a contract is called Communal Land. Land belonging to any other
entity is called Private Land. Together, Communal Land and Private
Land are called Proprietary Land.
Re-enact rule 1995/0 (Power=2) "Land Types" with the text:
Each Unit of Land has a Land Type switch, tracked by the
Cartographor, whose values are "Black", "White", and "Aether" (the
default). Changes to Land Type switches are secured. To "change
the type" of, or to "transform" a Unit of Land is to flip its Type
switch. A “Unit of X” is a Unit of Land whose Land Type switch has
the value X.
When existent Land has not had its Type changed as explicitly
permitted by the Rules, or has a Type that is not currently
defined by the Rules, it is considered to have the Land Type of
Aether. Rules to the contrary nonwithstanding, Units of Aether
CANNOT be transferred from Agora, or owned by any entity other
than Agora. If Proprietary Land becomes Aether, the Cartographor
SHALL transfer it to Agora in a timely fashion.
Type is a singleton switch with the values of Black and White,
defaulting to Black. When an act specifies that an alternating
land type is to be used, the current value of the Alternating Land
Type switch is used, and the switch is set to the next value of
the switch.
Re-enact rule 1996/3 (Power=1), renaming it to "The Cartographor" with
the text:
The Cartographor is an office; its holder is recordkeepor for the
Land of Arcadia.
The Cartographor's Weekly Report shall include:
1. the ownership and land type of all existing land;
2. all changes in the ownership and land type of existing land
