Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  BIDDING: Players CAN place a bid on an auction in its bidding
  period by creating a public message (henceforth a "bid message")
  specifying an amount of that auction's currency. Players CAN
  withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Correction (updating list of lots). The transfers here most likely do
nothing.

The September Stone auction's bidding period has ended. The auction began at 
21:09:50 on 2022-09-04, and
the bidding period ended at 21:10:47 on 2022-09-08, four days after the final 
bid by Jason.

There were two lots: [Wealth Stone], [Sabotage Stone].

This auction was a selective-bid auction. The awardees are as follows:

[Wealth Stone]   -> Jason for 1 coin
[Sabotage Stone] -> Jason for 1 coin

I perform the following actions if and only if they all succeed:
{
I destroy 1 of Jason's coins.
I cause the Wealth Stone to be transferred to Jason.
}

I perform the following actions if and only if they all succeed:
{
I destroy 1 of Jason's coins.
I cause the Sabotage Stone to be transferred to Jason.
}

The Device is off.


EXPERIMENT 00051 INTENT TO INVENT

I intend, with Agoran consent, to cause Rule 2655 to amend the Rule "The
Device" by appending the following a a list item to the "When the device
is off:" list:

{

Device is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable

EXPERIMENT 00051 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 1698
("Agora Is A Nomic"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 1698 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 1698/7 (Power=4)
Agora Is A Nomic

  Agora is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable
  combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary rule changes
  to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted within a
  real-world (UTC) four-week period.
  
  If, but for this rule, the net effect of a proposal would cause
  Agora to become ossified, or would cause Agora to cease to exist,
  it cannot take effect, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. If
  any other single change or inseparable group of changes to the
  gamestate would cause Agora to become ossified, or would cause
  Agora to cease to exist, it is cancelled and does not occur, rules
  to the contrary notwithstanding.

Amend Rule 869 by appending the following paragraphs:

Banned is a secured negative boolean person switch tracked by the
Registrar. A person is unwelcome if e is Banned or if at least one part
of em is unwelcome. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, an unwelcome
person CANNOT register or be registered, and e is immediately
deregistered if e is ever a player. Designations of unwelcomeness are
secured.

Unwelcomeness is to be used only to make a social statement that the
Agoran community no longer wishes to interact with certain persons; in
particular, it is not to be used to acquire gameplay advantage. As such,
an unwelcome person SHOULD NOT, under any circumstances, attempt to
bypass unwelcomeness, and e SHOULD carefully consider the circumstances
of eir becoming unwelcome before participating in public or discussion fora.

Title: Attainder
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: 


For the purposes of this proposal, "Madrid" is the person who, at the
time of this proposal's submission, was a player and who was known as
"Madrid" to the average Agoran.

Madrid is hereby deregistered.
Madrid's instance of the Banned switch is hereby flipped to true.

[
This is a bill of attainder. Its purpose is to deregister and, if
possible, ban Madrid as a sanction for a series of incidents on the
lists and on the unofficial Discord server. This is not in response to
any single incident, but rather a pattern of behavior. This is
additionally not in response to Madrid's distaste for Spivak pronouns
itself, regardless of the timing of this submission.

Madrid's actions and views have resulted in two deregistrations (one
successful FAGE and one attempted FAGE that wasn't a FAGE due to a
technicality), hostile exchanges of words on list, and an atmosphere on
