*obviously* repealing a revision is actually a rollback and the revision

Depending on the judge's reasoning, that doesn't necessarily follow. If you
amend a revision, it isn't the same revision anymore. It's like trying to
change a git commit. That (arguably) doesn't even make sense as an
operation. By contrast, repealing a revision simply means making it not be
a rule anymore. It (arguably) works so long as that revision is the
revision currently in effect.

I think a judge found that it's impossible to amend a specific rule

I’d argue that being valid or invalid is not an inherent property of the 
announcement.  Instead, ‘valid’ here means ‘suitable as a method to perform the 
aforementioned action’ – in other words, it modifies the meaning of “by 
announcement” as defined in R478.

As a tangent, I don't think I could've formulated this CFJ this well 
without the previous discussion in discord. In my opinion this is a good 
example of ephemeral discussion (such as brainstorming) leading to

Maybe add "as specified elsewhere in these regulations" after "new
ones are built"? I was confused when I first read this regulation that
it's e.g. missing the requirement that you only build at home.

Also, I didn't realize I'm supposed to include this as conditionals in
my orders for the turn until re-reading. You might want to remind
players.

The original Plundership text just said the contract is amended if 2/3
of Pirates agree. No additional triggering action is specified. So, I

I'm probably going to start using the 2+N support method equivalently to
this. We'll see if it needs tweaking. But my current plans are to use it
for the sort of public interest, quick fix proposals that certifiable
patches currently cover. The criteria will be broadened a bit (since I'll
be figuring it out, I can just be reasonable about it). Of course, I'll be
open to public comment on the details.

An early, even more needlessly abstract, draft of NAX had the purse as a

That's a good point.

An alternative would be for such a contract to be split into two
pieces, like when a corporation has a charitable foundation attached

where “them” refers to the actions in the procedure.  If this isn’t satisfied,

Does anyone have any thoughts or feedback on this? Don't want to pend it
with no idea what anyone thinks about it.


I personally really like this proposal. It's really compact and I think 
a lot more functional than anything else we have come up with before.

The Promotor's report is going to be late. I'm going to try to have a draft
out today (in the next 12 hours) and do the distribution tomorrow (in the
next 36 hours). I apologise to everyone for my tardiness. I fell behind on

Someone is going to point a finger at me. I don't suppose I could beg the

Yeah, this specific broadening is functionally redundant with Rule

subtext that violation X is a Morally Big Deal while violation Y
isn't", but there's plenty of room to make that more elegant somehow.

Officers can actually only give two legislative cards right now (since

four additional cards per month.


Oh right, I'd dismissed that because "yeah like I'm likely to ever get
any of those". Though that was probably influenced by the unusually
large proposal batches of the "oh no pending is about to be hard" phase.

If disinterested proposals (in some form) are re-enacted but
disqualified from this award, then that would tilt toward "these awards
go to players who already had pendants to spend before". Though not
necessarily tilt it enough for major lock-in. Hard to predict when it's
so highly dependent on various individual behaviors.

I think it would be fine to have it all on one page with summary/details

Or both, if possible with reasonable effort, akin to MediaWiki
transclusion. (I used Wikidot when I held Notary several years back, but
if it supports transclusion then I was unaware of it; I just had one

but I like the addition in Murphy's proposal, because I think more lots
make better auctions (fewer lots increases gerontocracy as it favors the

auctions if rare types are chosen.

Fair enough.

I wondered what would happen if there was a dead tie (e.g. if I'd voted

Election Procedure specifies that the vote collector picks which
