Just a heads up to everyone: I’m traveling at the moment, so the report
will be delayed. I was hoping to finish it up quickly today, but I had less
time than I thought I would and people keep creating tons of uproposals.
So, I’ll try to get it out as soon as I can, but that may take a bit.

DIS: Non-explicit numeric values

2019-07-14 Thread Jason Cobb
I'm just curious on whether or not my reading of the Rules is correct 
here. If I was to submit a proposal and specify the AI as something that 
needs to be evaluated, say "the power of [some Rule]", then that is 
evaluated at the time of me submitting the proposal, right? If that's 
the case, could I say the AI is "the power of [some Rule] at the time of 
resolution", and have that work?

The SLR just contains the ratified version of the rule (because
ratification makes the SLR match the ratified version).

That causes an amendment to the Ruleset. The FLR thus needs to list the
amendment in question, i.e. "Re-enacted by ratification" together with
the date. (This has happened before, IIRC it's been an accident every
time.)

I have investigated the history of the rule. Rule 2517 was repealed by 
Proposal 8054 on 23 June 2018. Since that is the case, it should have 
been removed from the ruleset; however, it was not. Since then, it has 
been discussed once or twice despite not actually being in effect, 
notably in the Dollar Auction discussion when someone attempted to 
describe an inextricable conditional. However, the SLR was recently 
ratified and, since the SLR included this rule, it was re-enacted. I 
don't know what is required here, so for now the annotation will reflect 
the situation described above.

This is a hypothetical judgement of CFJs 3726 and 3727, assuming D.
Margaux's attempt on 2019-05-26 22:50 to ratify a document without

There are past (real) judgements that already consider this question,
but I don't think they go into as much detail as this one.

CFJ 3726 was called by Aris, with the statement: "The most recent

DIS: Re: BUS: Thesis submission: A dream within a dream within a dream

2019-07-14 Thread nch
I haven't had a chance yet to properly review this document and 
recommend or critique it, but it strikes me that we should have a review 
system that makes this someone's responsibility so that the document 
doesn't disappear into limbo, and the writer either gets their reward or 
understands why they did not.

past when the gamestate is "minimally modified".]

I submit the rest of this message as a thesis, and intend it to
qualify for a degree (whichever degree defined by Rule 1367 my peers
find appropriate).

This is a hypothetical judgement of CFJs 3726 and 3727, assuming D.
Margaux's attempt on 2019-05-26 22:50 to ratify a document without
objection was successful. I think it is interesting because it discusses
the question of whether when the Rules refer to the past, they are
referring to a fictional past that can be modified by ratification.
There are past (real) judgements that already consider this question,
but I don't think they go into as much detail as this one.

CFJ 3726 was called by Aris, with the statement: "The most recent
attempted imposition of the Cold Hand of Justice by Aris was effective."

CFJ 3727 was called by D. Margaux, with the statement: "D. Margaux has
more than 0 blots."

1. Arguments


There was a long conversation on the discussion list, starting around
when D.  Margaux called a CFJ (later withdrawn) on the thread "[Referee]
Recusal (attn H. Arbitor)" in May 2019, and continuing on the thread
"Proto-judgements of CFJs 3726 and 3727" in June 2019. I will not try to
repeat everything here.

2. Sequence of events (all times UTC)

2019-05-20 01:25

   The Referee publishes a weekly report specifying that D. Margaux has 0
   blots.

2019-05-20 20:32

   D. Margaux publishes the below document and announces intent to ratify
   it "as true at the time 00:00 GMT on 20 May 2019":

   { For purposes of this document, “Politics Rules” and “Spaaace Rules”
   have the meaning ascribed to those terms in Proposal 8177.

   Any switch created directly by any of the Politics Rules or the
   Spaaace Rules has its default value.

   There are no currently existing entities or switches created by the
   Clork pursuant to the Politics Rules or by the Astronomor pursuant to
   the Spaaace Rules. }

2019-05-21 10:20

   D. Margaux deputises as Astronomor and Clork to publish the following
   weekly reports:

   {there are no entities in existence for which the Astronomor is the
   recordkeepor other than those created directly by the Rules. All
   switches for which the Astronomor is recordkeepor have their default
   value.}

   {there are no entities in existence for which the Clork is the

   Aris attempts to act on D. Margaux's behalf to impose the Cold Hand of

Well, under the current rules, players can protect their assets by using

Thank you for the package, whatever it may contain (I'm still working my 
way through the current game-state). I'm deciding to play again while 
starting both a new job and a graduate degree (after all, I'll need some 
sort of equally-stressful distraction when those things stress me out), 
so I might be more background than foreground for a while.

Come to think of it, my prejudice against selling zombies was in a previous
version of the rules that didn't have resale value or limits on zombies-
owning-zombies.  As long as each transfer of a zombie still knocks down
its resale value maybe that's cool, or even better (speeding a zombie's
final burial).

Okay. I was going to try something nefarious with this, but I guess I can't
then. On Rule 2517, the annotations list the rule as being enacted, and
then repealed, without being re-enacted, so there might be something off

2019-07-14 Thread Aris Merchant
They are not. Nothing in the SLR or FLR is self-ratifying. Customarily, we
ratify the SLR from time to time by proposal in order to ensure we
accurately understand the ruleset. This is done by explicit proposal so
that people have an opportunity to check it and prevent scams. However, the
FLR is never ratified, because doing so would unnecessarily ratify the
history of how the ruleset got the way it is, potentially creating a mess
if something is wrong.

Oh, for some reason I thought this was just for stealing players who
are already zombies. Yes, making a player into a zombie may be too
much.

Why not? The zombie rules as a whole seem vaguely unpleasant to me,
maybe because they allow us to intrude into what's normally a player's
own private domain. But I don't see how making them liquid makes it
any worse.

Oh, that makes sense. You probably want to do something about zombies with
resale value 0. Normally their master switches can't be changed to another
player.

After pondering on it I'm likely going to vote against it - the stakes are
too high.  I don't think it's reasonable to be able to steal all of
someone's assets via minor inattention.

This also gives a mechanism to trade/sell zombies - that was purposefully
left out of the original I don't really think zombies should be a fungible
asset.

"A player CAN by announcement pay 10 coins to Agora to flip to emself another 
player's master switch without objection from that other player or that other player's 
master (if any), provided the intent to flip that switch was announced at least 7 days 
before the switch is flipped."

I think we generally call these fees, since that affords some protections.


Here's another issue: all I have to do is announce intent to become 
master of every inactive player. Then, as soon as each one of em has eir 
master flip to Agora, then I can become eir master (assuming I have 
money), since Agora would not have objected to this intent - this 
defeats the point of zombie auctions.
