Title: mending the quill
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Trigon
Co-author(s): Jason, Aris


[ Comment: It is not unusual for the final draft of a proposal to be
   submitted by someone other than the person who did most of the
   drafting for that proposal. These proposals have, in several
   instances, made it to the finals. Notably, during the Silver Quill
   2020 discussions, an honorable mention was given to Interesting
   Chambers, which I wrote and did revisions on but never wrote the final
   version of. This kind of stuff has happened before. It isn't too
   worrying, but it would be nice to not have to work around it. Plus,
   proposals are cheap. ]

Amend Rule 2582 by replacing:

  - Silver Quill, awardable by the Promotor to the author of a
proposal of outstanding merit and influence on the game
(additional information: ID Number of the proposal).

with:

  - Silver Quill, awardable by the Promotor to the author of a
proposal of outstanding merit and influence on the game, or to
a coauthor, although e SHOULD only do so if it is generally
agreed that that coauthor contributed more to that proposal
than the person who submitted it (additional information: ID
Number of the proposal).

ID: 8575
Title: Stone Win Delay v2
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Jason
Co-author(s): Gaelan


Amend Rule 2644 to read, in whole:

{

  A player CAN, by announcement, Notice the Gauntlet, specifying a single
  player that owns 5 or more stones, provided that no person has done so
  in the past 30 days.

  When the Gauntlet is Noticed, the specified player wins the game. If the
  Gauntlet was Noticed 4 days ago, then all existing stones are
  transferred to Agora.

}


[Adds a delay to stone wins to bring it inline with VP wins. Also adds a
prevention for rapid-fire stone wins. This doesn't allow the bearer of
many stones to prevent the win, in order to maintain a balance of stone
power.]

//
ID: 8576
Title: "By announcement" loosening
Adoption index:
Author: Jason
Co-author(s): Aris, Murphy


Amend Rule 478 by replacing the following:

{

  Where the rules define an action that a person CAN perform "by
  announcement", that person performs that action by unambiguously and
  clearly specifying the action and announcing that e performs it.

}

with the following:

{

  Where the rules define an action that a person CAN perform "by
  announcement", that person performs that action by, in a single public
  message, specifying the action and setting forth intent to perform that
  action by sending that message, doing both clearly and unambiguously.

}


[This unambiguously makes "CFJ: X" and "Proposal: X" work, even though
neither explicitly says they are performing an action, since they both
clearly and unambiguously set forth intent to perform the associated
action.

Title: Election Cycle
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: G.
Co-author(s): nix


Create a power=2 rule, "The Election Cycle", with the following text:

  A holder of an elected office who did not become its holder by
  winning an election, and has not won an election for that office
  since, is an interim holder. An elected office that is either
  vacant or has an interim holder is an interim office.

  An office is term-limited if the most recent election for that
  office was resolved more than the length of that office's term
  prior. The term for the office of Prime Minister is 90 days. The
  term for all other elected offices is 180 days.

  A player CAN initiate an election for a specified elected office:

  a) with 2 support, if either the office is interim or term-
 limited, and provided that the initiator becomes a candidate
 in the same message.

  b) By announcement, if e is the ADoP (or, if the office is the
 ADoP, if e is the Assessor) and the office is interim, or if
 e is the holder of that office.

  Once per quarter, the ADoP CAN and SHALL publish a Notice of
  Election specifying between 2-4 term-limited offices (if there
  fewer than 2 term-limited offices, the ADoP MUST instead list
  all of them).  Such a notice initiates elections for the
  specified offices.  The ADoP SHOULD prioritize offices that
  have gone longest since their last elections.

  The above notwithstanding, an election for an office CANNOT be
  initiated if one is already in progress.


[Delete this section added to the previous rule - better gathers
election procedure rules in one place].

Amend Rule 1006 (Offices) by removing:
  A holder of an elected office who did not become its holder by
  winning an election, and has not won an election for that office
  since, is an interim holder. An elected office that is either
  vacant or has an interim holder is an interim office.


[For the below rule, remove text placed in the new rule above,
and add the Assessor as the vote collector for ADoP elections].

Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) to read in full:

  When an election is initiated, it enters the nomination period,
  which lasts for 4 days. After an election is initiated and until
  nominations close, any player CAN become a candidate by
  announcement. A candidate ceases to be a candidate if e ceases to
  be a player during the election or if holding the office would
  make em Overpowered. During the nomination period, a candidate CAN
  cease to be a candidate by announcement if there is at least one
  other candidate.

  An election whose nomination period is complete is contested if it
  has two or more candidates, and uncontested otherwise. Nominations
  close at the end of the poll's voting period or when the election
  is ended, whichever comes first.

  After the nomination period ends, the ADoP (or, if the office is
  the ADoP, the Assessor) CAN and, in a timely fashion, SHALL:

  1) If the election is contested, initiate an Agoran decision to
 select the winner of the election (the poll). For this
 decision, the Vote Collector is the ADoP (or, if the office
 is the ADoP, the Assessor), the valid options are
 the candidates for that election (including those who become

PROMOTOR'S REPORT AS OF RIGHT NOW

I hereby distribute each listed proposal, initiating a referendum on it,

is the Assessor, the quorum is 3, the voting method is AI-majority, and the
valid options are FOR and AGAINST (PRESENT is also a valid vote, as are

~ : Unsponsored proposal.

The full text of the aforementioned proposal(s) is included below. Where
the information shown below differs from the information shown above,
the information shown above shall control.

//
ID: 8560
Title: simplify indictments
Adoption index: 1.7
Author: G.
Co-author(s): nix


Repeal Rule 2619 (Indictment).

Amend Rule 2557 (Sentencing Guidelines) by appending the following paragraph:

  When the rules authorize an investigator to issue an Indictment
  for a violation, e CAN do so by levying a fine on the perp, with
  1.5 Agoran Consent, provided that levying the fine would be
  otherwise LEGAL and EFFECTIVE.

[
Turns indictment into a simple "if we want to apply a punishment outside
the 1...2xBase violation range (either higher or lower), we do so with 1.5
Consent and call that an indictment."  The 1.5 level was chosen to match
the AI of the current indictment proposals.

The "otherwise LEGAL and EFFECTIVE" clause is so that this ability is
still limited by Defendant's Rights.
]

//
Title: Election Cycle
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: G.
Co-author(s): nix


Create a power=2 rule, "The Election Cycle", with the following text:

  A holder of an elected office who did not become its holder by
  winning an election, and has not won an election for that office
  since, is an interim holder. An elected office that is either
  vacant or has an interim holder is an interim office.

  An office is term-limited if the most recent election for that
  office was resolved more than the length of that office's term
  prior. The term for the office of Prime Minister is 90 days. The
  term for all other elected offices is 180 days.

  A player CAN initiate an election for a specified elected office:

  a) with 2 support, if either the office is interim or term-
 limited, and provided that the initiator becomes a candidate
 in the same message.

  b) By announcement, if e is the ADoP (or, if the office is the
 ADoP, if e is the Assessor) and the office is interim, or if
 e is the holder of that office.

  Once per quarter, the ADoP CAN and SHALL publish a Notice of
  Election specifying between 2-4 term-limited offices (if there
  fewer than 2 term-limited offices, the ADoP MUST instead list
  all of them).  Such a notice initiates elections for the
  specified offices.  The ADoP SHOULD prioritize offices that
  have gone longest since their last elections.

  The above notwithstanding, an election for an office CANNOT be
  initiated if one is already in progress.


[Delete this section added to the previous rule - better gathers
election procedure rules in one place].

Amend Rule 1006 (Offices) by removing:
  A holder of an elected office who did not become its holder by
  winning an election, and has not won an election for that office
  since, is an interim holder. An elected office that is either
  vacant or has an interim holder is an interim office.


[For the below rule, remove text placed in the new rule above,
and add the Assessor as the vote collector for ADoP elections].

Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) to read in full:

  When an election is initiated, it enters the nomination period,
  which lasts for 4 days. After an election is initiated and until
  nominations close, any player CAN become a candidate by
  announcement. A candidate ceases to be a candidate if e ceases to
  be a player during the election or if holding the office would
  make em Overpowered. During the nomination period, a candidate CAN
  cease to be a candidate by announcement if there is at least one
  other candidate.

  An election whose nomination period is complete is contested if it
  has two or more candidates, and uncontested otherwise. Nominations
  close at the end of the poll's voting period or when the election
  is ended, whichever comes first.

  After the nomination period ends, the ADoP (or, if the office is
  the ADoP, the Assessor) CAN and, in a timely fashion, SHALL:

  1) If the election is contested, initiate an Agoran

I have prepared some comments on each of the finalists.

8483  G.   1.0   a minor adjustment

This proposal was the first move in an absolute blast of a scam,
kicking off one of the most exciting scam/counterscam cycles of the
year. Congrats to Jason, nix, and G. for orchestrating it.

8521  Jason, G., [3]   2.0   Stones

Stones bring back the idea of assets with game altering powers, something
that we haven't seen for a long time. Their innovative nature makes them a
worthy replacement for zombies, even if they haven't fully caught on yet.
I shudder in fear waiting for the day when the Sabotage stone will first be
deployed, and I think we all look forward to seeing how this system
continues to develop. Great work, Jason.

8407  G.   2.0   no stinking auction definitions

Before this proposal, we had problem after problem with the auction
rules. Delegating them to the Treasuror is a controversial idea
and we're still seeing how it'll work out. This proposal is an
amazing experiment into what happens when officers control the
rules. Thank you, G., for having the ingenuity to set it up.

8360  Alexis   3.0   Social Distancing

This was my runner up for the year because of how much excitement it has
brought into the game. We considered using it to prevent two scams:
the infinite exile scam and G.'s dictatorship. Furthermore, it turned out
to be crucial to that very dictatorship. It isn't often we see something
that dramatically expands the room to maneuver in scams. Emergency Regulations
promise to be a source of fun for years to come.
Terrific work, Alexis.

8408  nix, [1] 3.0   Sets v1.4

This is, in my opinion, clearly the best proposal of the year.
It has been the most successful economy in my time as a player.
Even if the general idea isn't new, making it work is a huge
accomplishment. Economies are hard, but nix has succeeded
outstandingly with this one. I cannot overstate eir accomplishment.

8514  Aris, nix, Trigon, [2]   3.0   The Buoyant Economy

Honestly, I would not have considered this proposal to be deserving
the Silver Quill. I am proud that brought what appears to have
been a new idea into Agoran economic design. Yet, the impact
of this proposal on gameplay wasn't as great as that of some of the
other proposals here. But, as I have been reminded, innovation can
be as valuable as impact. I hope my proposal will expand the range
of options available for the design of future economies. There appears
to be consensus to award the Quill to this proposal along with Sets.
Thank you, Agorans.

ID: 8557
Title: Archimedes' Principle
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Aris
Co-author(s): Trigon, nix


[Changes:
  -The Treasuror sets a target for the Total Buoyancy every week;
   the most recent target takes effect at the beginning of the month
  -The Unit of Floatation is now rounded, so people can actually remember
   it (unlike the draft, I'm rounding up, to deal with cases
   where it's evenly between two integers)
  -The Treasuror no longer has a monthly report, and is instead
   just encouraged to make sure the Total Buoyancy and Unit of Floatation
   are published
]

Amend Rule 2634, "Buoyancy Control", by changing it to read in full:

  The Total Buoyancy and Buoyancy Target are singleton
  integer switches, tracked by the Treasuror in eir weekly report.

  The Treasuror CAN, by announcement, set the Buoyancy Target
  to a specified value approximately equal to the sum of all coin
  balances at a specified point within the last week,
  and SHALL do so each time e publishes eir weekly report.

  The Treasuror may exercise reasonable judgement in calculating the
  Buoyancy Target. The Buoyancy Target will be deemed set so long as
  the value chosen by the Treasuror is not obviously and grossly
  incorrect. However, the Treasuror SHALL NOT deliberately introduce
  error into the Buoyancy Target.

  At the beginning of each month, the Total Buoyancy is flipped to
  the Buoyancy Target.

Amend Rule 2635, "Floating Rate Fleet", by changing it to read in full:

  The Unit of Flotation is equal to 1/2500 times the Total Buoyancy,
  rounded up, and is tracked in the Treasuror's weekly report.
  A boatload of something is a quantity of that thing equal
  in count to the Unit of Floatation.

  The Treasuror is ENCOURAGED to arrange for the new Total Buoyancy
  and Unit of Flotation to be published as close as possible
  to the beginning of the month.


[No clue why this should be secured — granting assets isn't secured.
The reason I'm amending this is to make the payday happen
after the boatload value update; I'm open to other phrasings.]

Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by replacing:

  The occurrence of Paydays is secured. At the beginning of each
  month, a Payday occurs.

with:

  At the beginning of each month, after all other events that
  take place at the beginning of the month, a Payday occurs.


  Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by replacing:

Title: The Election Cycle v1.1
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: nix
Co-author(s): G., Aris


Amend R2154, "Election Procedure", by replacing:

  A player CAN initiate an election for a specified elected office:

  a) with 2 support, if either the office is interim or the most
 recent election for that office was resolved more than 90 days
 prior, and provided that the initiator becomes a candidate in
 the same message.

  b) By announcement, if e is the ADoP and if the office is interim,
 or if e is the holder of that office.

with:

  The holder of an elected office CAN, by announcement, initiate an
  election for that office.

  The ADoP CAN, by announcement, initiate an election for a
  specified elected office if it is interim.

  The ADoP CAN, by announcement, and SHALL, two times a quarter,
  initiate an election for the specified elected office that has
  least recently had an election. E SHALL NOT do so more than four
  times a quarter.

[
Note: I tried to make this flexible for the ADoP. E essentially can
initiate 2-4 elections a quarter, and only needs to do 2. With the
current number of elected offices, that's 1.8 years between mandated

Adoption index: 3.0


Amend Rule 2595 (Performing a Dependent Action) to read:

  A rule that purports to allow a person (the performer) to perform
  an action by a set of one or more dependent actions thereby allows
  em to perform the action by announcement if all of the following
  are true:

  1. A person (the initiator) published an announcement of intent
that unambiguously, clearly, conspicuously, and without
obfuscation specified the action intended to be taken and the
method(s) to be used, including these values if relevant:

  * If the action is to be taken with T notice, then the value
of T.

  * If the action is to be taken without N objections, with N
support, or with N Agoran Consent, and N is not equal to 1,
then the value of N.

  2. The time between the announcement of intent and the action is
at most 14 days. In addition:

  * If the action is to be taken without N objections or with N
Agoran consent, then it is at least 4 days.

  * If the action is to be taken with T notice, then it is at
least T (minimum of 4 days).

  3. At least one of the following is true:

  * The performer is the initiator.

  * The initiator was authorized to perform the action due to
holding a rule-defined position now held by the performer.

  * The initiator is authorized to perform the action, the
action depends on support, the performer has supported the
intent, and the rule authorizing the performance does not
explicitly prohibit supporters from performing it.

  4. Agora is Satisfied with the announced intent, as defined by
other Rules.

  5. If the announcement of intent stated any conditions, then those
conditions are all met.

  If the action is to be taken with N Agoran consent, then the
  performer SHOULD publish a list of supporters and objectors.

Amend Rule 2124 (Agoran Satisfaction) to read:

  A Supporter of an intent to perform an action is an eligible
  entity who has publicly posted (and not withdrawn) support for an
  announcement of that intent.

  An Objector to an intent to perform an action is an eligible
  entity who has publicly posted (and not withdrawn) an objection to
  the announcement of that intent.

  The entities eligible to support or object to an intent to perform
  an action are, by default, all players, subject to modification by
  the document authorizing the dependent action. However, the
  previous sentence notwithstanding, the initiator of the intent is
  not eligible to support it, and a person CANNOT support or object
  to an announcement of intent before the intent is announced, or
  after e has withdrawn the same type of response.

  Agora is Satisfied with an intent to perform a specific action
  unless at least one of the following is true:

  1. The action is to be performed without N objections, and there
are at least N Objectors to that intent.

  2. The action is to be performed with N support, and there are
fewer than than N Supporters of that intent.

  3. The action is to be performed with N Agoran consent, and the
number of Supporters of that intent is less than or equal to N
times the number of Objectors to that intent.

  4. The action is to be performed without N objections or with N
Agora consent, and an objection to that intent was withdrawn
within the past 24 hours.

  5. The Speaker objected to that intent within the past 48 hours.

Author: Aris

[This is a proposal to repeal bodies of law, which are essentially
unused and make the ruleset far more complicated than it needs to be.]

If this proposal has already taken effect, then it has no effect. If,
but for this sentence, Rule 101 would not exist as a rule after this proposal
ceases taking effect, then the remainder of this proposal has
no effect.


Enact a new power-3.5 rule entitled "Statutory Instrumentation
Simultaneity", reading:

  Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the proposal which enacted this
  rule CAN make multiple rule changes, which it could otherwise make
  individually, simultaneously. When it attempts to do so, if any single
  rule change it attempts is INEFFECTIVE, then so is the entire attempt.

  If the proposal which enacted this rule makes a change to the
  definition of a rule then, except for rules which are simultaneously
  and explicitly enacted or repealed with that change,
  the rules after that change are exactly the entities that were rules
  beforehand. This is a definition of the interpretation of the
  amendment to the rules and not, in and of itself, a rule change.


Apply the following rule changes simultaneously: {

  Repeal Rule 2611, "Instruments".
  Repeal Rule 2612, "Bodies of Law".
  Repeal Rule 2613, "Effects of Instruments".

  Amend Rule 1688, "Power", by, all as part of the same amendment,
1. Replacing:
A statute is a document with positive Power.
   with:
An instrument is an entity with positive Power.
2. Replacing:
A Rule that makes a change, action, or value secured (hereafter
the securing Rule) thereby makes it IMPOSSIBLE to perform that
change or action, or to set or modify that value, except as
allowed by a Statute with Power greater than or equal to the
change's Power Threshold.

the securing Rule) thereby makes it IMPOSSIBLE to perform that
change or action, or to set or modify that value, except as

  Amend Rule 2438, "Ribbons", by replacing "A statute" with "An instrument".


  Amend Rule 105, "Rule Changes" by, all as part of the same
  amendment:
1. Replacing:
Where permitted by other rules, a statute generally can, as
part of its effect,
  with:
When the rules provide that an instrument takes effect, it can

2. Replacing each instance of "statute" with "instrument".


  Amend Rule 2140, "Power Controls Mutability", by changing it to read in full:

Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, no entity with power below
the power of this rule can

1. cause an entity to have power greater than its own.

2. adjust the power of an instrument with power greater than its own.

3. set or modify any other substantive aspect of an instrument
   with power greater than its own (that is, one that affects
   the instrument's operation).

[
diffs from proto:
 - Made activity switchable in both directions at will.
 - Defined two verbs.
 - Adjusted time limits as suggested.
 - Added inactivity as a cfj recusal reason.
diffs from v1:
 - Made emailing a deregistree a SHOULD, but changed the method to
   w/o three objections, with the idea that if there's question
   about the email headers or whatever, objections can pragmatically
   handle the issue.
]

Create the following Rule, Activity:

  Activity is a player switch tracked by the Registrar, with values
  Active (default) and Inactive.  To flip a player's activity to
  active (inactive) is to activate (deactivate) em.  The date on
  which each player's activity was last changed is part of the
  Registrar's weekly report.

  A player CAN activate or deactivate emself by announcement.

  Any player CAN, with notice, make a player who has not made a
  public announcement in the past 30 days inactive.

  If a player has been inactive continuously for the past 60 days,
  then any player CAN deregister em without 3 objections. The
  Registrar SHOULD attempt to deregister players who meet this
  condition. The publication of intent for such a deregistration
  SHOULD be sent to the inactive player's registered email address
  at the same time that it is published.


Every player's activity is flipped to active [unneeded I think due
to default behavior, but precautionary?]


Amend Rule 2492 (Recusal) by appending the following text to the
second paragraph:
  The Arbitor CAN recuse an inactive or deregistered judge from a
  case by announcement.

Repeal Rule 2532 (Zombies).
Repeal Rule 2574 (Zombie Life Cycle).
Repeal Rule 2639 (Zombie Phase-Out).
Repeal Rule 1885 (Zombie Auctions).

Amend Rule 2472 (Office Incompatibilities) by deleting:
  A zombie is Overpowered if e holds one or more offices.

Amend Rule 2531 (Defendant's Rights) by deleting:
  (10) it attempts to levy a fine on a zombie for an action that
   its master performed on its behalf.

Amend Rule 2621 (VP Wins) by replacing "non-zombie"  with "active".

Amend Rule 2581 (Official Patent Titles) by deleting:
  - Necromancer, awardable by the Registrar to any player who makes
such sufficient persistent legal use of zombies that rules need
to be amended to prevent such practices.

[Checked all the other uses of "active" and "inactive" pertaining to
players, looked like all would work fine under this version]

Title: Patent Title Restoration v2

Author: Jason
Co-author(s):


Amend Rule 649 by replacing "A Patent Title is a legal title given to a
person in recognition of the person's distinction" with "A Patent Title
is a legal title held by an entity in recognition of eir distinction".

[The current version could plausibly be read to strip patent titles when
an entity ceases to be a person. This makes it so that patent titles can
be held by all entities, but can only be awarded to persons. The
requirement on personhood/citizenship is explicit for most awarding
methods (including the Herald's general method), while the other methods
require 2 Agoran consent, which should be enough to prevent them going
to non-persons if we don't want them to as a group. There's not really
an easy place to put an explicit restriction, because some of the 2
Agoran consent methods are at Power 3, while the patent titles rule is
at Power 1.5.]

Award all Patent Titles to eir former holders that were lost solely due
to the entity not being a person (under any current or former definition
of "person"), other than Hero of Agora Nomic or Grand Hero of Agora Nomic.

[Don't try to award HAN/GHAN because it seems unlikely they were ever
stripped and because this proposal doesn't have high enough AI to do so.]

  A stone is immune if it has been granted immunity, as defined by other

Amend Rule 2585, "Birthday Gifts", by deleting the sentence "Every time
it is a player's Agoran Birthday, each of the other players CAN once
grant em 3 coins by announcement.", and inserting the following
paragraph in its place:

  During a player's Agoran Birthday and the 7 days following, each
  other player CAN, once, grant em X coins, where X is 3 if it is
  actually the day of the player's birthday, and 2 otherwise.

[This simplifies the rule change and fixes the bugs mentioned by

belated birthday gift just because people already granted the birthday
gift.]

Change the power of Rule 2124 to 3.

could amend that rule to approve any of its intents, then ratify without

Amend Rule 2481 by adding the following item to the sole list:

 of pending. I think this is a good restriction during festivals, so this

This doesn't use an indirect method for winning, unlike most other rules.
This proposal changes that.

associated ministry, but this is not true because of the recent change
for the Ministry of Economy. There's also ambiguity with what happens if
multiple types of card are tied for fewest instances.]

[Breaking pledges is currently not ILLEGAL. Pledges can arguably
be created without consent. Rule 2450 does not actually delegate
selection of crime class to the pledge at present, and simply fails to
specify its class if the pledge does.

Current text:
Rule 2450/9 (Power=1.7)
Pledges

  If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform (or
  refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the pledge
  within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of
  Oathbreaking, where N is 2 unless the pledge explicitly states
  otherwise. It is also Oathbreaking for a player to let a pledge
  expire without taking an action e pledged to do in that pledge.
  The time window of a pledge is 60 days, unless the pledge
  explicitly states otherwise. A pledge ceases to exist at the end
  of its time window.

  If breaking the pledge harms specific other parties, the Referee
  SHOULD solicit the opinion of those parties in determining an
  appropriate fine.

  The Notary CAN destroy a pledge Without Objection, but SHOULD NOT
  do so unless the pledge no longer serves any significant purpose.

Amend Rule 2450, "Pledges", by changing it to read in full:

  If a consenting Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform
  (or refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the pledge
  is ILLEGAL; doing so is the Class N crime of Oathbreaking, where N is the
  value explicitly stated by the pledge, or 2 if the pledge does not explicitly
  state a value. Allowing a pledge to expire without carrying out an action
  one pledged to do in it constitutes breaking the pledge.

  The time window of a pledge is W days, where W is the value explicitly
  stated by the pledge, or 60 if the pledge does not explicitly state a
  value. A pledge ceases to exist at the end of its time window.

  Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Speaker CANNOT object to
  an intent by any player to do so.

  [Explanation: Currently, if the Speaker has been Speaker for at least
  90 days, e can be replaced with support. However, the Speaker has
  the power to stop any intent, even one that is with support, by
  objecting to it. This would mean that the Speaker cannot be removed by
  this method. The office can still be reappointed by the Prime Minister
  if another player wins the game, but as is, the 90+ days method is
  relatively obsolete. The fix is to either remove the feature
  altogether or fix it, and I think it's a nice feature, so I proposed
  this fix. I've also just managed to make an explanation about 3 times
  as long as the actual proposal. Oops.]

Title: another talismans fix

Amend Rule 2574 by replacing the list item beginning "If a player

{
  - If a player possesses more than one talisman for persons other than
  emself, specify and transfer one of those talismans to Agora;

Title: Competitive Finger Pointing v2
Adoption index: 1.7
Author: nix
Co-authors: Aris, Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, ATMunn


Amend R2478, "Vigilante Justice" by adding to the beginning of the
list:

  - Issuing a Warning to the perp, as described elsewhere;

and by adding after the list items:

  Initiating a Finger Pointing found to be Shenanigans is ILLEGAL
  and the Class 0+N Crime of Unjustified Gesticulation, where N is
  the number of times e has previously committed the crime in the
  current Agoran Week.

and by adding, to the very end of the rule:

  The player who initiated the most Finger Pointings that resulted
  in a Warning, Indictment, or Cold Hand of Justice in the previous
  Agoran Week CAN once grant emself a Justice Card by announcement.

Amend R2557 "Sentencing Guidelines" by adding to the end:

  When the rules authorize an investigator to issue a Warning for a
  violation, e CAN do so by announcement if the violation is
  described by the rules as a "Class N Crime" where N is 0 or an
  expression that evaluates to 0.

[There is no ruleset support for class 0 crimes right now. So this
version adds support by introducing a new thing the investigator can do
called a Warning.]

Title: Generic welcome package fix
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors:


Amend Rule 2499 by deleting the sentence beginning "A player CANNOT" and
by replacing the final paragraph with the following:

{

  When a player receives a Welcome Package, if e has not received one in
  the past 30 days, then e earns 10 coins and one of each type of Card
  defined in the rules.

}


[This makes protects against all possible infinite welcome package scams
that involve one person receiving infinite welcome packages. With this
change, a person can get infinite welcome packages, but only the first
one in each 30 day period will actually grant any rewards (which likely
makes most scams not worth the hassle).]

OFF is generally used for reports on the state of the game. BUS is

reflected this distinction.

The Dragon President's State of the Dragon reports reflect the state

The Promotor's Ministerial Referrals contain only game actions; their

Adoption index: 1.0
Author: G.
Co-authors: omd


[First, a partial reset.  People with negative karma are mostly zombies
or people with fairly old sins; worth a full forgiveness/reset. People
with positive karma have generally done good things more recently - a
partial reset for them, akin to the just-passed July releveling.  Agora
is balanced one last time so we can start counting total positivity or
negativity from here on out.]

Each person with positive karma has eir karma set to half its current
value, rounded up.

Each person with negative karma has eir karma set to 0.

Agora's karma is then set such that the sum of all Karma values in the
game equals 0.


Amend Rule 2510 (Such is Karma) by deleting:

  4. Not result in Agora's karma moving farther away from 0.

and by replacing its last paragraph with:

  At the beginning of each quarter, the Karma of every person is
  halved (rounding towards 0).

[It's still an exchange of karma, but you can take freely from Agora.
Everybody's karma decays every quarter, but Agora's karma isn't reset
to zero-sum, therefore Agoran's karma is an inverse measure of our
overall positivity/negativity over time.]

  Donation Level is a natural switch for contracts, tracked by the
  Notary, with a default of 0 and a maximum of 25.  A contract with
  nonzero donation level is called a Charity.

  The Notary CAN flip a contract's donation level to a non-default
  value with 3 Agoran consent.  This SHOULD only be done if the
  contract's provisions ensure that its funds received from Agora
  will be used solely for the betterment of Agora.  Any player CAN
  flip a contract's donation level to 0 with Agoran consent.

  Whenever a payday occurs, half of each charity's coin holdings
  (rounded down) are destroyed, and then each charity earns a

Title: Talismans
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: nch, Falsifian, G.


For the purposes of this proposal, a player's prior master is eir master
before this proposal applies any effects.

Amend Rule 2532 to read, in whole:
{

  A talisman is an indestructible asset, tracked by the Registrar, and
  with ownership wholly restricted to players and Agora. There exists
  exactly one talisman for each player, and no other talismans; if one
  does not exist for a certain player, it is created in eir posession.
  Talismans CAN only be transferred as explicitly specified by the rules.
  The creation, destruction, and transfer of talismans is secured.

  Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, a player CAN, by announcement,
  transfer the talisman for em to emself. The master of a player is the
  entity that possesses the talisman for em. A player who is eir own
  master is active; any other player is a zombie (syn. inactive).

  The master of a zombie CAN act on behalf of em, except a master CANNOT
  act on behalf of a zombie to:
  - initiate, support, object to, or perform a dependent action;
  - act on behalf of that zombie's zombies;
  - bid in a zombie auction;
  - enter a contract, pledge, or other type of agreement;
  - initiate a Call for Judgement;
  - create blots;
  - deregister.

  If a master causes a zombie to perform an ILLEGAL action, the master
  commits the Class 4+N Crime of Masterminding (where N is the class of
  the illegal action).

  If an active player who was a zombie has not received a Welcome Package
  since e most recently ceased being a zombie, and if eir resale value was
  less than 2 at any point during eir most recent time as a zombie, then
  any player CAN cause em to receive a Welcome Package by announcement.

}

Amend Rule 2574 to read, in whole:
{

  Any player CAN, with notice, transfer the talisman for an active player
  who has not made a public announcement in the past 60 days to Agora.

  Resale value is a secured natural switch for zombies, tracked by the
  Registrar, with a default value of 2. Whenever the talisman for a zombie
  is transferred to a player, that zombie's resale value is decreased by
  1. At the end of a zombie auction, the resale value of every zombie that
  is an excess lot in that auction decreases by 1.

  The talisman for a zombie with zero resale value CANNOT be transferred
  to any player other than that zombie.

Title: Barrel Barrel Badger Barrel

Author: G.

Create a power-1 rule, "The General Store", with the following text:

  Barrels are a currency tracked by the Coopor (an office) in eir
  monthly report. A player CAN Corner the Market by paying a fee of
  100 barrels.  When a player corners the market, e wins the game.

  A bargain is a specification consisting of a title, a payout (a
  number of barrels between 1 and 10), and a tender (a list of 6 or
  more rules-defined card types; a type may be repeated, with each
  repeat being a separate element on the list).

  A player CAN cash out a specified bargain that's "on the barrel",
  by announcement, provided that, in the same message, e paid cards
  (possibly spread over multiple sets) to successfully earn rules-
  defined products, and those cards match all of the cards types in
  that bargain's tender.  The payment of a particular card instance
  can only match a single tender element for the single cashing out
  of a bargain.

  When a player cashes out a bargain on the barrel, e earns the
  payout for that bargain.

  The Coopor CANNOT cash out a specific bargain in the 14 days
  after putting that bargain on the barrel.


Create a power-1 rule, "Bargains on the Barrel", with the
following text:

  If there are fewer than four bargains on the barrel, the Coopor
  CAN put a bargain on the barrel with notice.  If there are fewer
  than eight bargains on the barrel, the Coopor CAN put a bargain on
  the barrel with 3 support.

  The Coopor CAN take a bargain off the barrel without N objections,
  where N is the number of months, rounded up, since that bargain
  was last placed on the barrel.  Within 14 days after winning an
  election for Coopor, the Coopor CAN take any bargain off the
  barrel with notice.

  The Coopor's monthly report includes a list of all bargains on the
  barrel.  E SHOULD publish such a list whenever e adds or removes a
  bargain from the barrel.


There are no bargains on the barrel.

G. is hereby made Coopor.

An election for Coopor is hereby initiated.

[I fixed the problems pointed out with the last version. I also added an
A.N.A. degree (I hadn't done so previously, because I thought it was
unnecessary, but exceptions are messy). I rephrased and reordered some things

Amend Rule 1367, "Degrees", by changing it to read as follows:

Certain patent titles are known as degrees. The degrees are

  - Associate of Nomic Artistry(A.N.A.)
  - Associate of Nomic (A.N.)
  - Juris Doctorate of Nomic   (J.N.)
  - Baccalaureate of Nomic Artistry(B.N.A.)

  - Doctorate of Nomic History (D.N.Hist.)
  - Doctorate of Nomic Law (D.N.Law.)
  - Doctorate of Nomic Science (D.N.Sci.)
  - Doctorate of Nomic Philosophy  (D.N.Phil.)

  There are four classes of degrees, ranked in ascending order of merit:
  Associate degrees (A.N.A. and A.N.), Baccalaureate degrees
  (J.N through B.N.), Magisteriate degrees (M.N.A and M.N), and
  Doctorate degrees (D.N.Art. through D.N.Phil.).

  A specified degree CAN be awarded by any player other than the
  awardee, with 2 Agoran consent. It SHOULD only be awarded for the
  publication of an original thesis of scholarly worth (including
  responses to peer-review), published with explicit intent to
  qualify for a degree. The Herald SHOULD coordinate the peer-review
  process and the awarding of degrees.

  Degrees SHOULD be awarded according to the extent to which the thesis
  contributes to Nomic culture or thought: Associate degrees for an
  appreciable contribution, Baccalaureate degrees for a substantial
  contribution, Magisteriate degrees for a remarkable contribution, and
  Doctorate degrees for an exceptional contribution. Any degree at the
  Doctorate level SHOULD take into account the awardee's academic history
  and participation in Agora over time.

  Theses for Artistry degrees SHOULD demonstrate substantial creativity
  and need not be in written form. Theses for all other degrees SHOULD
  demonstrate substantial research or analysis. J.N. and D.N.Law are
  appropriate for high-quality legal analysis, of the sort typical to CFJs,
  but exceeding an ordinary CFJ in depth.

Repeal Rule 2552 (Auction Termination)
Repeal Rule 2551 (Auction End)
Repeal Rule 2550 (Bidding)
Repeal Rule 2549 (Auction Initiation)

Amend Rule 2545 (Auctions) to read in full:

  An auction is a way for entities to give away specified assets
  (items), grouped into lots, in exchange for a currency. A lot is a
  non-empty list of items to be transferred to a single recipient
  (an auction winner).

  When the rules authorize a person (the auctioneer) to conduct an
  auction, e CAN do so by any wholly public method that would be
  generally recognizable, as specified by the auctioneer at the
  start of the auction, and under common definitions and terms used
  in auctions, as a fair, equitable, and timely means of determining
  the auction winners from among the current players, and enabling
  the appropriate exchange of goods.

  The rule that authorizes the auction further authorizes the
  auctioneer or auction winners to transfer said items as necessary
  to conduct the auction in a manner consistent with the auction
  method. If the authorization is to auction "new" items, it further
  authorizes the creation of said items as per the chosen method.

  The Treasuror is the promulgator for regulations that define
  specific auction methods (i.e. "the default auction method") and
  SHOULD do in order to aid trade and commerce.  For the purposes of

OFF: [Promotor] Administrative Guidance Regarding Distribution Timetables

2020-06-03 Thread Aris Merchant via agora-official
The Promotorial Proposal Office (hereinafter the Office) intends to
conduct a midweek distribution. In order to provide greater clarity,
the Office is publishing the following nonbinding administrative
guidance about the way it intends to conduct this distribution.

The cutoff for this distribution will be 00:00 UTC Friday. This may,
at the discretion and convenience of the Office, be extended
(including retroactively), but the Office does not currently
anticipate extending the cutoff beyond 12:00 UTC Friday. The Office
may exempt individual proposals from this cutoff at its discretion and
convenience but does not expect to do so except for good cause shown
(e.g. in the case of an urgent bugfix). All players are ENCOURAGED to
submit any proposals they want to be distributed in this midweek
distribution before 00:00 UTC Friday.

The midweek distribution may be accompanied by a Proposal Pool report,
which may be backdated, all at the discretion and convenience of the
Office.

The Office currently anticipates that the next distribution will be
early next week, and will be backdated to the beginning of next week.
There may be an additional midweek distribution next week, at the
discretion and convenience of the Office. The provisions of this
paragraph are highly speculative.

Repeal Rule 2549 (Auction Initiation)

Amend Rule 2545 (Auctions) to read in full:

  An auction is a way for entities to give away specified assets
  (items), grouped into lots, in exchange for a currency. A lot is a
  non-empty list of items to be transferred to a single recipient
  (an auction winner).

  When the rules authorize a person (the auctioneer) to conduct an
  auction, e CAN do so by any wholly public method that would be
  generally recognizable, as specified by the auctioneer at the
  start of the auction, and under common definitions and terms used
  in auctions, as a fair, equitable, and timely means of determining
  the auction winners from among the current players, and enabling
  the appropriate exchange of goods.

  The rule that authorizes the auction further authorizes the
  auctioneer or auction winners to transfer said items as necessary
  to conduct the auction in a manner consistent with the auction
  method. If the authorization is to auction "new" items, it further
  authorizes the creation of said items as per the chosen method.

  The Treasuror is the promulgator for regulations that define
  specific auction methods (i.e. "the default auction method") and
  SHOULD do in order to aid trade and commerce.  For the purposes of
  interpreting auction definitions, such methods are treated as if
  they are defined in this rule. To further aid trade and commerce,
  auction methods should be interpreted in the name of fairness with
  deference to the method's clear intent, if intent can be

Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: Aris


Amend Rule 2551 by replacing the text from "A person's priority on an
Auction is their" to "the excess lots are not won by any person."
(including both ends) with the following paragraphs:

  The bidders in an Auction are the players who have a non-withdrawn
  bid in that Auction. Priority is a strict total ordering over the
  bidders in an Auction. For two bidders with different bid amounts on
  their non-withdrawn bids, the bidder with the higher bid has higher
  priority than the other bidder; otherwise, the bidder whose
  non-withdrawn bid was placed earlier has higher priority than the
  other bidder.

  Upon the end of an Auction, for each lot, in the order they are to
  be awarded, the bidder with the highest priority in the Auction who
