Below is the report for the week of 2021-02-01..07:


# Summary

A busy week.

G.'s Rulebending rule is repealed, but e has a last bit of fun with two
Emergency Regulations --- see minute-by-minute coverage in the
Dictatorship section below. Plus, tune in to the thread "[Speaker] The
Speaker Show 2, Guest: G." for an interview, on another episode of
Cuddlebeam's new show!

It's Read the Ruleset Week. The Rulekeepor kicks off a contest, and
Murphy is clearly reading the Ruleset because e circulates a bunch of
protos.

Some interesting economic tricks this week. Falsifian creates an
"Obstructive" Victory Card/Point pooling contract; and Gaelan simulates
a Victory Card auction with unusual tools.

Also this week: "Bunny" hosts a Guess that Agoran contest; a
hobbit-style birthday; Cuddlebeam takes over another nomic; antics
around finger-pointing (including class-0 pledges and simultaneous
actions).

Our definition of "person" is amended, and more proposals are adopted
or begin their voting periods. Voting for Prime Minister begins. See
"Voting" section below.

As usual, the rules were questioned and reasoned about this week: a
ruling about the definition of "deadline" (relevant to G.'s actions
this week); Agora is hard to destroy; rules can't have IDs assigned;
and sorry, Cuddlebeam, but 0 does't get rounded up to 1.


# Voting

* Proposals 8532-8537 are adopted:

  * Change the definition of "person" to be more inclusive. (8535)

  * Replace the zombie rules with a simple inactivity mechanism. (8532)

  * Dethrone dictator G., and patch some bugs e exploited. (But see the
section "Dictatorship" below.) (8533)

  * Remove Summary Judgement. (8536)

  * Let people pay to give each other blots. (8537)

  * Adjust some rule powers, without significantly changing their
relative powers. (8534)

* Voting begins on Proposals 8538-8540.

  * Repeal all emergency regulations. See the "Dictatorship" section
below. (8538)

  * Roll back the Bodies of Law framework. (8539)

  * Make Extra Votes stronger. (8540)

* Trigon is sad that eir "Proposal Chambers" rule repealed as part
  of it.

* H. Ministor nix warns players with the Economy focus to collect
  their Coins, because the proposal will eliminate it.

* Voting for Prime Minister begins. The candidates: Aris, ATMunn, nix,
  Trigon. Aris suspends eir campaign.


# Miscellaneous

* The Rulekeepor kicks off a Rule Golf contest for Read the Ruleset
  Week. Thread: "[Rulekeepor] RTRW Contest"

* G. hosts a "hobbit-style birthday" for emself, in which e gives gifts
  of Coins to other players. Pleasant words are exchanged. (The rule
  governing birthday gifts is broken.) Thread: "a hobbit-style
  birthday"

* Cuddlebeam publishes the second episode of eir Speaker Show: an
  interview with G. Thread: "[Speaker] The Speaker Show 2, Guest: G."

* Someone calling emself "Bunny" creates a contest to guess eir
  identity. Thread: "[Promise] Guess That Agoran!"

* Cuddlebeam takes over Nommit, a Reddit nomic with little activity,
  and connects it to Agora. Thread: "humble agoran farmer collects dead
  nomics [Nommit]"

* Cuddlebeam steals the Concentration Stone using the Soul Stone.
  Thread: "humble agoran farmer wields the Soul Stone [Attn.
  Stonemason]"

* Trigon applies a fix to eir SEAMSTRESS contract. Thread: "@Notary Re:
  BUS: @Jason @nix SEAMSTRESS Amendment"

* Aris and Cuddlebeam enter a secret pact. Thread: "Secret Dealings
  [attn. Notary]"

* Falsifian publishes another draft revision to the Agoran Press
  contract. Thread: "[Contract Proto] Press revisions"

* Jason publishes intent to revoke all Coins from the Lost and Found
  Department. Thread: "L REvocation".


# Dictatorship

A bit of a scuffle this week.

2021-02-02 22:27:

  G. enacts two Emergency Regulations (the First and Second Regulation
  of G.ravity), claiming to allow em to extend dependent action
  deadlines, and also to allow em to do anything in a document with a
  particular hash (the "LAWS OF G.RAVITY"). Thread: "[Emergency] a
  fundamental force"

  * Jason calls CFJ 3893: is a time at which a without-objection action
becomes resolvable really a "deadline" that an Emergency Regulation
can extend? Murphy judges it FALSE.

  * Cuddlebeam publishes a document purporting to be the LAWS of
G.RAVITY, containing the specified hash in its text rather than its
hash actually being that, as a (joking?) attempt to thwart eir
plan.

2021-02-03 01:07:

  Rule 2633 (Rulebending) is repealed by Proposal 8533. This removes
  G.'s general Rulebending power, but leaves eir Emergency Regulations
  in place.

2021-02-03 04:06:

  Jason petitions the Prime Minister (ATMunn) to repeal all Emergency
  Regulations. (ATmunn responds at 15:16.) Thread: "[petition] Down
  with the dictator [attn. Prime Minister]"
