OFF: [Treasuror] [Auction Regulations] Selective-Bid Fixes

2021-08-02 Thread Trigon via agora-official
The deadline for the last Selective Bid fixes was yesterday. Whoops. 
Better do this again, for the third time.


I intend, with 2 Agoran consent, to apply the following changes to the 
Auction Regulations:


{

Amend Regulation AM0 by, as a single amendment:
{

In the paragraph beginning "BIDDING:", deleting "specifying a number of
the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the bid of another player"

After that paragraph, inserting the following paragraph:
{

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.

}

}

Amend Regulation AM5 by inserting the following as a new list item after
the one starting with "Bidding messages": "One bid class exists for each
lot of a given auction, with bids falling into the class for the 
specified lot."


Amend AM5 by replacing:

   * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
 placed the highest active bid whose preferred bid is the Nth
 lot.

with:

   * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
 placed the highest bid in the set of bids made by funded, non
 withdrawn players whose preferred bid is the Nth lot.

}

OFF: [Stonemason] August Stone Auction

2021-08-02 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Power Stone], [Soul Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM0 and AM5. In case of contradiction
between either the latest published ACORN or the platonic set of auction
regulations and the below text, the below text shall control.



Regulation AM0/2
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 a number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal
  to the bid of another player. Players CAN withdraw from an open
  auction by announcement.
  
  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
  
  RETRIEVAL: When the bidding period ends, the retrieval period
  begins. During the retrieval period, bidders will be allowed to
  retrieve the assets required to pay for their bid. The retrieval
  period lasts three days. Failing to have the requisite assets when
  the retrieval period for an auction ends constitutes the Class 1
  Crime of Underfundedness.
  
  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 retrieval 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: The auctioneer for an auction CAN and SHALL, within
  seven days of the ending of that auction's retrieval period,
  create a public message (henceforth the "distribution message")
  that contains a full history of bids on the auction and
  withdrawals from the auction. It must also clearly indicate each
  awardee and the lot e recieves. In this message, the auctioneer
  CAN and SHALL destroy the amount to be paid from the inventory
  each awardee and transfer to that player (or create in eir
  possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated with
  the lot e won. Failing to publish a distribution message
  constitutes the Class 3 Crime of Auction Abandonment.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Annotations:


Regulation AM5/1
Selective-bid Auctions

  Selective-bit auctions function like generalized auctions except:
  
  * Bidding messages on a selective-bid auction must also specify a
lot that is preferred.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
placed the highest active bid whose preferred bid is the Nth
lot.
