Amend R2629, Victory Auctions, to read (in full):

  The Treasuror CAN conduct a Victory Auction if no Victory Auction
  is ongoing. The Treasuror MUST do so at least once a month, and
  SHOULD do so at least twice each month.

  A Victory Auction includes the following lots:

  * one new Win Card.

  The currency of a Victory Auction is coins (minimum bid 1).

[Remove the L lot. Also slightly clean up first paragraph.]

Enact a new Power=1 rule titled "L Auctions" which reads (in full):

  The Treasuror CAN conduct a L Auction if no L Auction is
  ongoing. The Treasuror MUST do so at least once a month, if there
  is at least one asset in the Lost and Found Department of an
  auction-ready type.

  Coins, promises, and all private assets are excluded from L
  Auctions. The non-excluded type(s) of asset(s) that the Lost and
  Found Department owns more of than any other type of non-excluded
  asset are auction-ready.

  When conducting a L Auction, the Treasuror specifies an
  auction-ready asset type. Each asset of that type that the L
  owns is a lot.

  The currency of a L Auction is coins (minimum bid 1).

[This is generalized for nearly any asset, instead of just cards and
products. It also changes from one big pot to spreading out, which
gives a greater range of players access to these assets.]

Title: Deputisation rewrite
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-author(s): G., ais523


Amend Rule 2160 ("Deputisation") by replacing the sole list with the
following:
{
  1. the rules require the holder of that office, by virtue of holding
  that office, to perform the action (this requirement is fulfilled by the
  deputy performing the action); and, it would be POSSIBLE for the deputy
  to perform the action, other than by deputisation, if e held the office;
  and, the deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is doing
  so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation; and, the deputy has not
  held the office in the past 7 days; and,

  2. any of the following are true:
 (A) the office is vacant;
 (B) a time limit by which the rules require the action to be
 performed has expired, the office's holder has not changed
 in the past 7 days, and any of the following are true:

   (i) the deputy announced between two and fourteen days earlier
   that e intended to deputise for that office for the purposes
   of the particular action;
  (ii) the time limit expired between 14 days ago and 28 days ago;
 (iii) the time limit expired more than 28 days ago and the
   deputisation is temporary;
}

[This simplifies the list significantly, hopefully making it clearer. It
also makes the following substantive changes: allows only temporarily
deputisation (or deputisation with notice) for old duties, prohibits
deputies who have held the office in the past 7 days, and prohibits
deputising for an office whose holder has changed in the past 7 days, to
allow a holder time to catch up when they assume a new office, and to
prevent rapid-fire changes resulting from deputisation fights.]

Create the following power=1.5 rule, Points:

  A player's Score, indicated in Points, is an integer player switch
  defaulting to 0, tracked by the Herald.

  Upon a correct announcement from a player that one or more players
  have a score of 100+ points, all players meeting this condition
  win the game.  If a least one player wins the game via such an
  announcement, all players' scores are set to their default.

Create the following rule, "Scoring":

  Each time a player fulfills a scoring condition, the officer
  associated with the condition CAN once by announcement, and SHALL
  in an officially timely fashion, add to that player's score the
  associated amount of points.

  Below is a list of scoring conditions and their associated points
  and officers.

* Being the author of a sponsored proposal that takes effect:
  1 + the power of the proposal when it takes effect (Assessor).

* Being the coauthor of a sponsored proposal that takes effect:
  1 (Assessor).

* Having submitted an unconditional ballot AGAINST a referendum on
  a sponsored proposal, provided that the ballot is valid at
  the time the referendum is assessed, and provided that the outcome
  of that assessment is ADOPTED:  points equal to the voting
  player's voting strength on the referendum (Assessor).

[note: using "1 + the power of the proposal when it takes effect" instead
of "the AI of the proposal" because the AI is unlimited while power
iscapped at 4 by R106].

[v0.2 - specified "add" instead of "change".
  - change in referendum wording suggested by Jason.

[note: this may be slightly more controversial than last time, given that
we've uncovered some of those listed actually hold patent titles, and we
generally don't revoke those in order to preserve history. For full

Amend Rule 2653 by replacing "A player's Voting Strength on referendum"
with "A person's Voting Strength on a referendum".

[There's no reason that buying strength should stop applying on

[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.


G. becomes the holder of the office of Mad Engineer.

An election for Mad Engineer is initiated.

The proposal "Nicer Definitions" by R. Lee was previously known as
proposal 8575. However, this number was already assigned to a previous
proposal. Accordingly, it is renumbered as proposal 8594. I apologize
