That was unintentional (or at least, I forget what my intentions were). -G.

If e has not done so in the current week, a player CAN specify another player and announce that e is boarding that player's ship and pillaging eir operator collection. The attempt fails if there is any other player nearer in hyperspace distance to the announcing player than the named player. Otherwise all of the named player's operators are transferred forthwith to the announcing player. Present, based on ais523's argument. It would still probably be more interesting than the current version :)

Hi Shredder, Welcome to Agora! As others have mentioned, that is indeed a good way to submit a proposal. And, the one you submitted is a good one too. You've got my vote. Since you titled your post long time listener, I'm wondering if you're implying that you've been watching the game without participating for some time. Is this the case? If so, how long have you been watching? -Yally On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 6:15 AM, Geoff Schmidt ge...@geoffschmidt.comwrote: I, Shredder, am an organism that is generally capable of freely originating and communicating independent thoughts and ideas, at least when it's the fastest way to get what I want.

We had a secret rule about secrecy? (BTW am I correct to interpret the rules such that the Logical Rulesets are _not_ self-ratifying?) Indeed. Claims about proposals being enacted are self-ratifying, but rulesets themselves aren't. They can be manually ratified (and the SLR is, occasionally), but only via proposal. -- ai523

Might want to make it clear that the direction is measured from player i, which I assume is intended by the similarity to Newton's law. Greetings, Ørjan.
