I would be happy to give it one, although I think it's clear enough
without one. Or, in other words, I think giving it a definition might
be an improvement, but I still think it's okay to pass the current
version.

Statement from the Promotor:

There has been some question as to whether this proposal was validly
submitted. After considering precedent, it is the opinion of the
Office of the Promotor that the proposal was in fact submitted, but
was not validly pended, because it was not specified that the pend fee
was a pendant. I recommend that Murphy converge the submission and
repend the proposal properly.

-The Promotor

Statement from Aris:

This wasn't brought up on list at the time of the proto, and I'm sorry
about that. That said... this is really hard to read. Like, I don't
generally mind doing mental diffs for rules that are a paragraph long
or something. But expecting people to do mental diffs for some of the
longest rules in the game is a bit much?

Thanks. This is necessary, and looks good. 

The term public designation could probably use a definition—I’d be quite 
confused seeing it in the ruleset without one.

DIS: [Reportor] Last Week in Agora

2021-02-21 Thread Falsifian via agora-discussion
(Sending to the discussion list for silly technical reasons: I forgot
to claim the Assignment for last week, so I can't get rewarded yet. The
revised contract should let me get a reward for it because I can report
on past weeks, but that only works if it hasn't previously been
published.)

Archived at
https://github.com/AgoraNomic/Reportor/tree/master/weekly_summaries

Below is the report for the week of 2021-02-08..14:


# Summary

G.'s era of dictatorly mischief is finally unambiguously at an end,
with eir Emergency Regulations repealed by proposal if they weren't
already. The new era is marked by the election of our new Prime
Minister: all hail Trigon!

This week also saw the rollback of the Bodies of Law framework and a
reworked Extra Votes mechanism.

Mysterious "Bunny"'s identity revealed: it's ATMunn!

An idea circulated this week: reward clever tournament regulation
authors by encouraging turning them into theses.

Cuddlebeam tries out nix's class-0 oathbreaking idea from last week.
Let's indict em! More originally, Cuddlebeam also tries to make a
contract with no parties.


# Voting

* Voting ends on Proposals 8538-8540. All three are adopted.

  * Repeal all emergency regulations. See the "Dictatorship" section
last week for context. (8538)

  * Roll back the Bodies of Law framework. (8539)

  * Make Extra Votes stronger. (8540)

* Trigon is elected Prime Minister.


# Miscellanous

* Jason proposes to redistribute Doubloons evenly in the Pirate
  contract.

* The "Guess That Agoran!" game continues until Aris correctly guesses
  it's ATMunn.

* It's Falsifian's birthday, but birthday rewards are still broken.

* Falsifian proposes an amendment to the Agoran Press contract.


# Proposals

* G. suggests adding rule text encouraging turning tournament
  regulations into theses.

* Jason proposes to make unused Stones more likely to escape. (E
  submitted then withdrew a version last week.)


# Dictatorship

* G. explains what eir plan last week was: "My plan had been to
  uncertainty-entangle aspects of the gamestate...". Thread: "Dictator
  Dethronement"


# Rule questions

* Cuddlebeam deliberately makes and breaks a pledge with a crime value
  of 0. (nix already did this last week.) Jason suggests indicting em.

* Cuddlebeam tries to makes a contract that persists even with no
  parties. Thread: "humble agoran farmer creates Pinocchio"

* Would the proposal "Destroy Agora." be blocked by Rule 1698, or would
  something else block it instead? Something else: G. judges CFJ 3896
  FALSE. Related: Contracts v8 indeed took effect (CFJ 3897 FALSE).


# Auctions

* The February stone auction takes place. The Wealth and Sabatoge
  stones are auctioned.

* The February victory auction ends. Falsifian wins with a bid of 300
  Coins for one Victory Card.

Oh lol, that's what I get for making manual adjustments, I adjusted the
time for timezone in the wrong direction, and didn't add 2 weeks to the
date.  Correct should be: 24 Feb 2021 15:15:03 UTC.

I think it's due 24 Feb. It was assigned Feb 10 and I filed a motion to
extend.

DIS: Tailor progress

2021-02-21 Thread Edward Murphy via agora-discussion

First draft of report automation is up and running:

  http://zenith.homelinux.net/tailor/report.php
  http://zenith.homelinux.net/tailor/report_monthly.php

This should match holdings as of the last monthly report (2020-12-31).

Current plan is to come back to this later, add an event model and check
the archives for relevant events, then formally deputise/report. Once
the event model is added, the weekly report can also indicate how much
glitter prices have changed since the start of the week.


DIS: Fabrication

2021-02-21 Thread Edward Murphy via agora-discussion

I'm going to try automating and picking up Tailor, which would benefit
from automation due to including Glitter values. Watch this space.

This doesn't change the outcome, but my vote should have been counted as
a vote for Trigon because I wasn't a candidate.


Admitted; you never became one, so lists with you were valid (R2528)
but you were eliminated prior to the first round of counting (R955).
