Assess this, declare that, dude can't take a weekend anymore

Seriously though, maybe I should judge those CFJs on whether
the tournament even exists first?  Sorry about not getting to those,
maybe tonight ( -7:00 time), definitely by tomorrow.

THE SHORT LOGICAL RULESET

Most Recent Ruleset Change Recorded:
  Proposal 8052 (Let's not make game assets...) took effect 15 June 2018
Highest Rule ID ever assigned: 2575


The Game of Agora

Rule 101/17 (Power=4.0)
The Game of Agora

  Agora is a game of Nomic, wherein Persons, acting in accordance
  with the Rules, communicate their game Actions and/or results of
  these actions via Fora in order to play the game. The game may be
  won, but the game never ends.

  Please treat Agora Right Good Forever.


Rule 1698/5 (Power=4.0)
Agora Is A Nomic

  Agora is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable
  combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary rule changes
  to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted within a
  four-week period.

  If, but for this rule, the net effect of a proposal would cause
  Agora to become ossified, or would cause Agora to cease to exist,
  it cannot take effect, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. If
  any other single change or inseperable group of changes to the
  gamestate would cause Agora to become ossified, or would cause
  Agora to cease to exist, it is cancelled and does not occur, rules
  to the contrary notwithstanding.



Players

Rule 869/44 (Power=3.0)
How to Join and Leave Agora

  Any organism that is generally capable of freely originating and
  communicating independent thoughts and ideas is a person. Rules to
  the contrary notwithstanding, no other entities are persons.

  Citizenship is a person switch with values Unregistered (default)
  and Registered, tracked by the Registrar. Changes to citizenship
  are secured. A registered person is a Player. To "register"
  someone is to flip that person's Citizenship switch from
  Unregistered to Registered.

  An Unregistered person CAN (unless explicitly forbidden or
  prevented by the rules) register by publishing a message that
  indicates reasonably clearly and reasonably unambiguously that e
  intends to become a player at that time. A player CAN deregister
  (cease being a player) by announcement. If e does so, e CANNOT
  register or be registered for 30 days.

  A person, by registering, agrees to abide by the Rules. The Rules
  CANNOT otherwise bind a person to abide by any agreement without
  that person's willful consent.

  The Rules CANNOT compel non-players to act without their express
  or reasonably implied consent. The rules CANNOT compel players to
  unduly harass non-players. A non-person CANNOT be a player, rules
  to the contrary notwithstanding.


Rule 478/34 (Power=3.0)
Fora

  Freedom of speech being essential for the healthy functioning of
  any non-Imperial nomic, it is hereby resolved that no Player shall
  be prohibited from participating in the Fora, nor shall any person
  create physical or technological obstacles that unduly favor some
  players' fora access over others.

  Publicity is a forum switch with values Public, Discussion, and
  Foreign (default), tracked by the Registrar. Changes to publicity
  are secured.

  The Registrar may change the publicity of a forum without
  objection as long as:

  1. e sends eir announcement of intent to that forum; and

  2. if the forum is to be made public, the announcement by which
 the Registrar makes that forum public is sent to all existing
 public fora.

  Each player should ensure e can receive messages via each public
  forum.

  A public message is a message sent via a public forum, or sent to
  all players and containing a clear designation of intent to be
  public. A rule can also designate that a part of one public
  message is considered a public message in its own right. A person
  "publishes" or "announces" something by sending a public message.

  Where the rules define an action that CAN be performed "by
  announcement", a person performs that action by unambiguously and
  clearly specifying the action and announcing that e performs it.
  Any action performed by sending a message is performed at the time
  date-stamped on that message. Actions in messages (including
  sub-messages)

It probably shouldn't have been. My thinking was that tournament is only
really supposed to last a few weeks (there's a SHOULD to that effect). If
it goes for three months, it's way overtime, perhaps because it's broken or
no one is interested enough to complete the goal condition. Under those
circumstances, I wanted it to stop automatically. The reason it shouldn't
have been included is that there still might be players enjoying the
tournament, and they can always terminate it by proposal. It's not actually
a bug, and we can always fix it if it ever becomes a problem.

Yah sorry about that, the first draft regs used original FRC timing which

Agora blacklisted (Re: DIS: My agora email keeps breaking)

2018-07-15 Thread Ørjan Johansen
I got a local NVG admin to look at this, and apparently the Agora list 
server keeps getting intermittently on the spamcop.net blacklist.


(Perhaps unrelatedly, my admin also suggested it should get a reverse 
DNS entry.)


Sadly the local fix he applied isn't quite working for me yet, as I'm 
still missing most Agora mail from yesterday and the day before.


Greetings,
Ørjan.

I don't know why, since I cannot see the bounce messages, so I cannot take 
steps to try to correct it. And comex hasn't responded, I suppose he might be 
on vacation or something.


I have only this one ordinary email account (it's older than Agora so I'm 
pretty attached to it), but I've tried sending a few messages to myself from 
a different place (the Esolang wiki) to see if the problem is a general one 
on my end, and none of those messages bounced.

Oops. That's not a mandate and there's no retracting fines, but
acknowledged, and I apologize. I thought it was only Christmas.

There is a rule that says that fines are not effective if the
punishment imposed is manifestly inappropriate but that's only for the
value of the fine, so there's no challenging these fines in court, but
to be equitable, I suppose some remedy could be found where I write
your apologies for you or something.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Intention to deputise without portfolio

Yeah, the only reason I left it as vague as I did was to leave the door open 
for a potential scam - which didn't work out as I planned because it relied on 
a certain confluence of events that ended up not happening. (Not going to 
explain it in case I get the chance to use it again in the future.) Really, 
like I said, I was only going for Cartographor, and that was based on my 
misconception that Trigon didn't want to do it any more, which e's since 
cleared up.

To clarify, I don't currently plan to deputise for any office in the near 
future.

Sure, just so long as you're not planning to deputize for Promotor. :)

More seriously: it's generally considered polite to deputize for an
office that's vacant, or very extremely late. Mostly active or
semi-active players don't tend to like having their offices suddenly
taken from them, even if they were late on reports, and this has
caused some disputes in the past, of the meta/people actually got
upset variety. Just a friendly warning.

DIS: Assessment Request (attn. H. Assessor)

H. Assessor, would you consider assessing at least 8061? Proposal
gameplay is kind of stalled waiting for it.
