BUS: [Proposal] Point Installation Act v2

2018-07-25 Thread Aris Merchant
I submit the following proposal.

Title: Point Installation Act v2
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: G., twg


Create the following Rule, Points, AI-2.0:

  Points are the official currency of Agora.  Points can
  only be owned by players and Agora.  Points are tracked by the
  Treasuror.


For each player, create a number of points in eir possession equal
to either (A) the number of coins e had immediately before this proposal
took effect, or (B) 1000, whichever is less.


[Why am I doing things in this rule that could go in existing rules?
To maintain the separation of concerns between different levels of play.
We should be able to do whatever we want to with land without affecting
points, and this is the simplest way to do that. The Rulekeepor may
want to add cross references. However, I am still open to alternative
suggestions.]

Create the following Rule, Earning Points, AI-1.5:

  For a player to 'earn' a point is for it to be created in eir
  possession.  For a player to 'lose' a point is for it to be
  destroyed (if e has one).

  When a decision to adopt a proposal is resolved:

  - If the outcome was ADOPTED, its author earns a number of points
equal to (the total strength of all valid ballots cast FOR the
decision - the total strength of all valid ballots cast AGAINST)
times the adoption index of the decision (final result rounded
up).

  - If the outcome was REJECTED, its author loses a number of points
equal to (the minimum of (the total strength of all valid ballots cast
AGAINST the decision - the total strength of all valid ballots cast FOR)
and 0).

  - If the outcome was FAILED QUORUM, every active player who didn't
cast a ballot loses 1 point.

  At the start of each month, for each office, if a single player
  held that office for 16 or more days in the previous month and no
  unforgivable fines were levied on em for eir conduct in that
  office during that time, that player earns 10 points.

  When a player registers who has not been a player at any time in
  the past 30 days, e earns 25 points.

  When a zombie becomes active, e earns 25 points.

  When a judge issues eir first official judgement on a given CFJ, e earns
  5 points.
}

Create 25 points in the possession of each player who is not eligible for
a welcome package.

[The following translates existing rules to the new system.]

Remove coins from all lists it occurs in Rule 2483, "Economics",
renumbering appropriately where necessary, and remove the text
"Coins are the official currency of Agora." from the same rule.

Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by: {
* Removing item 1(A) and relettering appropriately; and
* Removing item 2(A) and relettering appropriately;.
}

Amend Rule 2499, "Welcome Packages", by removing item 1 and renumbering
appropriately.

Repeal Rule 2572, "Wishing Fountain".

[Should work fine without the optionally, by NCNA.]

Amend Rule 2549, "Auction Initiation", by removing the text ", optionally"
and changing the text "If no currency is specified, it defaults to coins."
to read "If no currency is specified, it defaults to Agora's official
currency. If no minimum bid is specified, it defaults to 1 of the auction's
currency."

Amend each rule, in ascending numerical order, by changing the work "coin"
to "point" and the word "coins" to "points".


BUS: [Proposal] From each according to eir means v3

2018-07-25 Thread Aris Merchant
I submit the following proposal. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for
giving people who have worked in the current system an edge in the new
one. However, letting people have more than a hundred points seems
like a bad idea, as that would allow them to dominate the system for a
long time, and a cap is fundamentally unfair.  I think the square
rooting thing will probably be unpopular, although I'm not really sure
whether it's a good idea.

This gives people a tenth of the number of coins they had. For some
players, that will be more than 50, in addition to the 25 the Point
Installation Act gives every player. To my mind, that's plenty of
starting capital.

Title: From each according to eir means v3
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Aris
Co-author(s): twg


If the votes on any proposal, the title of which contains "From each",
authored by twg, are such that it has been or will undoubtedly
be ADOPTED, then this proposal has no effect.

For each facility owned by a player, transfer all coins owned by that
facility to its owner.

For each zombie owned by a player, transfer all coins owned by that
zombie to its owner.

Decrease the coin balance of each player to one-tenth (rounded up to
the next largest integer) of however many coins e possessed before
this sentence took effect.
