This raises the question whether my honorable competitor (or anyone) becoming Prime Minister is beneficial to Agora. /// But never mind all that, I don't have any concrete reform plans (not saying I wouldn't make any if elected!). When I last asked about the Prime Minister's extra vote, I was told it was there because it was thought to be fun. Also, the ruleset's description of the Prime Minister is rather jocular (a rarity in the ruleset), and my honorable competitor has been recently criticized for being hasty etc. Therefore, I thought that perhaps some Agorans would vote for me, even if I didn't have an agenda (other than not being my honorable competitor), just for "the lulz". I know it's a bizarre tactic, but I once got elected as student council rep while partially using it, so I thought it might work. (Also, I wanted to at least delay my honorable opponent's Prime Minister-hood, as e has voted differently on some of the current proposals, and if the election, being uncontested, were resolved at the end of the nomination period, it would be before the proposals are resolved.)

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Re: OFF: [Cartographor] Land Auctions for July week 1
I was the one to advocate early release with bugs fixed through
playtesting, and I'm guilty of abandoning my reform plans too, I'm sorry.
An important point I'd like to make (for future economies if the current
one can't be salvaged): I'm not sure where I read it anymore, but Agora is
supposed to have these "lightning rods" in place to prevent/discourage a
player or a group of players from acquiring permanent dominance (but
simultaneously reward the players for their achievement). That is, when
such dominance would happen, the progress that the player has made towards
it is erased, and the player gets a win, and play can go on. This mechanic
should be present in the economy too.
E.g. the Black Ribbons/Win by Clout for the voting aspect of Agora, or the
fairly recent Politics system, which, ignoring the (fixable) bugs would
have worked quite nicely - when a player gained a majority of the
politicians' votes, they got a win and all of eir currencies related to the
Politics system were reset, allowing play to resume.
@G.: Yes. It's not like I wasn't playing by the same rules as everyone else
(I didn't even exploit any bug, the one I tried didn't work), I just looted
and bid more often. And creating a monopoly should be handled by a
"lightning rod", see above.

The majority of people are not in danger of running out of paper, but sure, I'll support this.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: [Registrar] Zombie auction resolution
I support this notion, but to reduce guessing, the secret auction (or whatever it's called) method should be used: You submit the *maximum* you're willing to offer for the lot, but you actually only have to pay the *minimum* winning amount, that is, the next highest bid + 1. Example: 3 zombies available, in order of desirability: X, Y, Z 4 players A, B, C, D A bids 11, B bids 8, C bids 4, D bids 3. A would win zombie X even if e offered only 9, since no other player is willing to offer more than 8, so eir bid gets reduced to 9. By the same reasoning, B's bid gets reduced to 5, but C's bid doesn't get reduced (unless possibly he bid ealier than D?). So: A pays 9, gets X B pays 5, gets Y C pays 4, gets Z (D doesn't win anything) On Sunday, July 1, 2018, Rebecca wrote: > The reason is probably that, because there are four lots and bids are > retractable, it would take a ton of bids to get to the optimal point. > I maintain that we should have everyone submit ONE secret bid to the > auctioneer which is revealed publicly at week's end. > > On Mon, Jul 2, 2018 at 2:39 AM, Kerim Aydin > wrote: > > > > > > All that said, I have no damn clue why the minimum winning bid on > > a zombie with 40 coins isn't 39 coins.

Also note that I can't be fined for something that happened more than 14 days ago. ~Corona On Sun, Jul 1, 2018 at 12:13 PM, Rebecca wrote: > I point a finger at Corona for missing multiple instances of this report. > > On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 7:28 PM, Ned Strange > wrote: > > holy shit i have 19 paper and 80 coins i'm a rich boi maybe i should > > actually pay attention to this land system > > > > On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 6:12 AM, Corona > wrote: > >> > >> (This report is also a revision of the last report) > >> > >> > >> > >> +-++++---+++ > ++++ > >> |Entity > >> |Ston|Appl|Corn|Ore|Lmbr|Cotn|Coin|Papr|Fabr|Incs| > >> > >> +-++++---+++ > ++++ > >> |ATMunn | 6| 32| 1| 0| 7| 0| 64| 14| 0| > >> 14| > >> |Aris | 5| 30| 9| 0| 5| 0| 97| 7| 0| > >> 11| > >> |Corona | 34| 72| 25| 0| 10| 27| 90| 29| 0| > >> 20| > >> |CuddleBeam | 11| 18| 9| 4| 8| 9| 50| 10| 0| > >> 11| > >> |G. | 25| 99| 15| 0| 18| 0| 221| 52| 0| > >> 33| > >> |Gaelan | 14| 28| 2| 6| 2| 0| 47| 10| 0| > >> 11| > >> |Kenyon | 14| 37| 4| 6| 20| 3| 45| 9| 0| > >> 11| > >> |Murphy | 5| 30| 4| 0| 8| 0| 70| 11| 0| > >> 11| > >> |PSS | 0| 5| 0| 0| 0| 0| 10| 2| 0| > >> 3| > >> |Quazie | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Telnaior | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Trigon | 3| 25| 12| 2| 4| 12| 32| 7| 0| > >> 11| > >> > >> |twg | 5| 15| 0| 0| 5| 0| 20| 5| 0| > >> 3| > >> |VJ Rada | 10| 55| 2| 0| 10| 0| 80| 19| 0| > >> 11| > >> |nichdel | 0| 5| 0| 0| 0| 0| 10| 2| 0| > >> 3| > >> |o| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |omd | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Ouri | 0| 10| 0| 0| 0| 0| 24| 4| 0| > >> 11| > >> |pokes| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |天火狐| 0| 5| 0| 0| 0| 0| 10| 2| 0| > 3| > >> > >> +-++++---+++ > ++++ > >> |farm at 1,-1 | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |mine at -1,-1| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |mine at 1,1 | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |orchard at -1,1 | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Corona’s refinery at -1,1| 0| 0| 0| 33| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Corona’s mine at -1,1| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Corona’s orchard at -1,1 | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |ATMunn’s farm at 1,3 | 0| 0| 9| 0| 0| 9| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |FPW | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> |Agora| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 349| 0| 0| > >> 0| > >> > >> +-++++---+++ > ++++ > >> > >> The following abbreviations are used in the table above: > >> > >> Ston = stone > >> > >> Appl = apples > >> > >> Lmbr = lumber > >> > >> Cotn = cotton > >> > >> Coin = coins > >> > >> Papr = papers > >> > >> Fabr = fabric > >> > >> Incs = incense > >> > >> > >> > >> PSS = Publius Scribonius Scholasticus > >> > >> FPW = F

What's not working? 1) land transfiguration (kind of the reason land types exist in the first place) is useless 2) I think I can make a terribly overpowered lv. 5 refinery (13 coins/1 ore) next week, meaning I'll have so many coins that nobody else will be able to win any more land, ever. ~Corona On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 5:37 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > So I've been planning land purchases, upgrades, and production flow for > the next month, it's been fun to do.

Sorry, didn't read it thoroughly, nevermind that.

I haven't checked for mistakes yet, but looks good! Also note that I divided the players into two sections (separated by the row of column names) -- nonzombies and zombies. I thought that would make the table of players less cluttered. If you're going to keep that layout, you might want to regularly check if any player's zombification status has changed.

DIS: Re: BUS: Resending the message because apparently nobody got it
Gratituous arguments: You need to "publish a notice" to vote. R478/Fora says: '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 person "publishes" or "announces" something by sending a public message.' The message does not need to be sent to all players, it merely needs to be sent via a public forum, and presumably it doesn't need to be received by all players (excerpt from the same rule): 'Each player should ensure e can receive messages via each public forum.' Clearly, the _receiving_ player is responsible for making sure e can receive messages, not the sender or the Registrar. ~Corona On Sun, Jun 24, 2018 at 8:09 PM, ATMunn wrote: > I CFJ on the following statement: > >Before the sending of this message, ATMunn voted FOR proposal 8053. > > No caller's arguments because I have no clue what I'd argue for and how. > > And just in case this ends up being FALSE, I vote FOR proposals 8053-8057. > > On 6/23/2018 6:01 PM, Timon Walshe-Grey wrote: > > Actually, I wonder if the problems mightn't run even deeper than that.

DIS: Re: BUS: [Promotor] Distribution of Proposals 8054-8057
I'm not using infinite regression. I'm basing my vote on the next (hypothetical) player to vote, who would vote "I do the same as the last six people in this thread", the six people being Aris, VJ Rada, twg, ATMunn, Trigon (who all voted FOR all proposals) and me. Thus the only way for their conditional vote to resolve as FOR all proposals is for my conditional vote to resolve as FOR all proposals (if I voted differently, their conditional vote would be indeterminate and default to PRESENT). ~Corona On Sat, Jun 23, 2018 at 8:18 PM, Alex Smith wrote: > On Sat, 2018-06-23 at 18:36 +0200, Corona wrote: > > I CFJ: My conditional vote in the appended message evaluates to FOR each > > proposal. > > > > Caller's arguments: while this contains a conditional referring a > > hypothetical future situation, that situation is not indeterminate, as I > > specified "in the next instant, before any other process regulated by the > > ruleset of Agora takes place", meaning it can be unambiguously logically > > derived from the present situation (that is, the present situation - my > > first message and the withdrawal + my second message = the hypothetical > > future situation). > > Gratuitous arguments: Agora does not have infinitely many players, nor > is it reasonable to believe that it could have infinitely many players > without a change to the rules. > > If other people are doing the same thing as you, then they're making > the same conditional, and at some point the conditional will talk about > an event that can't possibly occur (someone else voting) and thus fail > to evaluate.

Well, if it's YOU who's asking, then why, I'll blot in exactly the same way as you! ;) Nah, I'll just consider the individual circumstances of each case and Eris' mood when blotting, I don't really have any blanket policies. I will blot in such a way that maximizes the sum of satisfaction of the players, both at the moment and in the future. ~Corona On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 4:19 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > Are any referee candidates willing to share their planned blotting > policies? > > On Sun, 17 Jun 2018, Edward Murphy wrote: > > I initiate an Agoran decision to select the winner of the Referee > > election.

'A player CAN, by announcement, destroy N incense in eir possession to expunge N of eir blots.' Since the blots didn't exist, I failed - I CAN destroy incense using this rule only if I have blots to expunge, and it's clear that I intended to use the expunging rule to destroy the incense, not the generic removing of destructible assets at will in the Assets rule. ~Corona On Sun, Jun 17, 2018 at 10:48 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > The Police Blotter (Referee's Weekly Report) > > > > Date of last report: 03 Jun 2018 > Date of this report: 17 Jun 2018 > (all times UTC) > > Note: Corona at one point did this: > "I destroy 6 incense to expunge my 6 blots." > At that point, my records show e only had 4 Blots, because my attempt to > impose Summary Judgement on em had failed (no crime specified).

Re: DIS: Regarding the rapid proprietization of land
Well, the thing that comes to mind first is to incentivize small groups, which would in general make the board more lively, e.g. by: -movement (to same color would cost 2 apples, to different 1 apple) -making facilities produce less for every other facility in the same-color "group" (or it could be a bonus to isolated facilities, same thing) -making the (immune to transfiguration) central square completely gray, so that it doesn't support/encourage the 2 large groups ~Corona On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 8:10 PM, Reuben Staley wrote: > Excuse me, but have you seen how big the groups of contiguous land units > are?

It's off-topic, but it just occurred to me that it'd be nice if you (Trigon) could, in the interactive Cartographor report, make some little ownership flags or w/e display over the land units - clicking on them one by one to find out who owns what is a little awkward. ~Corona On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 8:27 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > What's the reason for the 50/50 rule in the first place?

FYI: The Spivak pronoun nominative is "e", not "ey" (reflecting "he" and
"she"), though you can, of course, use any pronouns you want.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Homerun
EFDoA applies only from Mondays to Thursdays. After that, it's assumed (or
that was my intention when creating the law) that people don't care about
the assets, so why not let someone collect them all?
2. if the facility is built on preserved Public Land and less
than four days have passed since assets were created in the
facility most recently, e must not have taken any assets from
the inventory of another facility located on a preserved Land
Unit within this Agoran week.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: No Go - Proposal
Well, presumably you wouldn't want to "capture" your own land units, as you lose ownership upon capture. You could create public land units inside an encircling group and then reap the rewards, but you would barely turn any profit - you'd have to spend lots of apples running around & creating the land units, and transfiguration occurs once per month - facilities are infinitely more convenient than that. The middle square IMO really ruins the Go aspect by anchoring those two super-stable groups. ~Corona On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 1:25 AM, Ørjan Johansen wrote: > On Mon, 7 May 2018, Corona wrote: > > Huh?

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: No Go - Proposal
Huh? In Japanese and Korean Go you score points (that is, your opponent loses points, which is equivalent) for capturing stones. And don't you think it's a shame that there are all these Go simulation rules like Transfiguration and alternating land type, and the only way Land Types are relevant to players is that it's annoying to have to pay 2 apples when changing terrain types? That doesn't seem very Go-like to me...

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: No Go - Proposal
Oh yeah, I didn't notice that was redundant. I'll make a revision once everyone has had a chance to comment. As for (Full) Groups: Right now, (0,-1) and (0,-2), for example, form a Group, as does any subset of the white Land Units on the "left" side of the map. However, in Go, one considers a group of stones to include ALL stones of the same color that are connected. Hence the definition of Full Group. There are exactly 5 Full Groups right now: 1) all the black LUs 2) all white LUs except (1,3) 3) (1,3) 4) the (gray) origin 5) all the aether LUs I don't see how the Land Transfiguration happens at the beginning of the second Eastman week? Once during the second or third Eastman week of each Agoran Month, the Cartographor CAN perform the following actions in sequence, and report these changes: [...] The Cartographor SHALL do so in the second Eastman week of each Agoran Month. This rule seems to plainly state that you CAN perform the actions at any point in the second or third week, and SHALL do so at some point in the second week, nothing more. ~Corona On Sat, May 5, 2018 at 11:37 PM, Reuben Staley wrote: > Comments inline > > On Sat, May 5, 2018, 02:09 Corona wrote: > > > Well, nobody plays Go on Arcadia, preferring ease of movement instead. > > Boring! > > > > I create the proposal "go, Go!" with the following text; text enclosed in > > square brackets is not part of the proposal: > > > > [This proposal implements a 2 coin, 1 apple reward for each captured > stone, > > possibly livening up the board] > > > > Amend the rule 1998 "Land Topology" to read in full: > > > > Two Units of Land are Adjacent if they have the same Latitude, and their > > Longitudes differ by exactly one; or they have the same Longitude, and > > their Latitudes differ by exactly one. > > > > Land Unit A is said to be connected to Land Unit B if it is possible to > > reach B by moving only to adjacent Land Units of the same Land Type, > > starting from A. > > > > [Here I changed color to Land Type, as color is not defined.

On second thought, I'll change the reward to 3 coins, 3 apples/Land Unit, as you can expend a lot of apples trying to capture even a single Land Unit. Or maybe give a bonus for facilities destroyed (40% of total cost)? ~Corona On Sat, May 5, 2018 at 10:09 AM, Corona wrote: > Well, nobody plays Go on Arcadia, preferring ease of movement instead. > Boring! > > I create the proposal "go, Go!" with the following text; text enclosed in > square brackets is not part of the proposal: > > [This proposal implements a 2 coin, 1 apple reward for each captured stone, > possibly livening up the board] > > Amend the rule 1998 "Land Topology" to read in full: > > Two Units of Land are Adjacent if they have the same Latitude, and their > Longitudes differ by exactly one; or they have the same Longitude, and > their Latitudes differ by exactly one. > > Land Unit A is said to be connected to Land Unit B if it is possible to > reach B by moving only to adjacent Land Units of the same Land Type, > starting from A. > > [Here I changed color to Land Type, as color is not defined.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: using my sad, single land unit
1) You have so many apples because everyone got 20 to begin with and you got nichdel's. 2) You can build on someone else's land, even without permission, but you can't upgrade (no matter whether you have permission or not), and they can destroy it by announcement. 3) Why did you (like Trigon) build a farm first, if I may ask? IMO, the apples from an orchard are sufficient for movement, and cotton is useless if you don't have a loom and you'd be well-advised to build a refinery (or get access to one) before that, as a loom requires coins...

Re: DIS: Re: OFF: [Treasuror] Forbes 500
Sorry, G. judged that paying without recipient doesn't mean transferring to anyone but it means destruction (see below), so you didn't pay (you would have attempted to transfer to Aris, right?) I'm for a proposal to give you the farm back. Oh heck, if there's a time for a political power play in pursuit of the greater good, it's now.

[Sun Apr 01 00:00] new month begins (payday). Trigon’s farm is, sadly,
destroyed due to em failing to pay upkeep
[Mon Apr 30 21:50:05] Corona collected assets from eir facilities and paid
upkeep for them (totalling 6 coins, 2 stones and 2 lumber, and destroying 3

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Setting up money-printing machine
I'm confused too, that's why I had to do this whole conditional thing, and
I couldn't converge the gamestate, because I bought (using the maybe-scam)
all these upgrades that I can't *actually* pay for by destroying assets.
I favor the "pay w/o destination = transfer to anyone" interpretation,
since a "pretty strong implication" (see the "doesn't THIS apply to "pay"
without a destination?" thread) is not enough to warrant the other
interpretation.

Re: DIS: Upgrading
Well, that would mean that Trigon would inevitably lose eir farm. (e couldn't pay upkeep) According to R2125, you must use methods "explicitly specified" in the rules (which I did, the rule should be IMO interpreted as simply not caring about the recipient), I don't see anything about rules needing to "explicitly describe" methods? If the CFJ is going to be called, I'd like it to be judged till the end of the week if possible. It's frustrating having buildings or other assets in an uncertain gamestate. ~Corona On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 6:28 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > Really the problem is that defining "pay" = "transfer" is a complete > redefinition of "pay" from common usage, and everyone's using common > usage... unfortunately that definition is in a high-powered rule. > > BUT: > > Does everyone accept that "pay without destination" automatically > mean "paying anyone" counts?

Whoops... (emphasis mine) " If an entity other than Agora owns any facilities with upkeep costs, e must pay them before the first day of the next Agoran month. Failing to do this destroys the facility. In the second to last Eastman week of the Agoran Month, the Cartographor SHOULD issue a humiliating public reminder to all those who have not paid upkeep fees on any of eir facilities." ~Corona On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 4:49 PM, Aris Merchant < thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 6:00 AM Kerim Aydin > wrote: > > > > > > > On Thu, 26 Apr 2018, Ørjan Johansen wrote: > > > On Thu, 26 Apr 2018, Aris Merchant wrote: > > > > > > > Also, I like the multiset.

DIS: Nerf Zombies
I hope you don't hold it against me. My original plan was to build a mine, orchard & refinery, all at level 2, which I could comfortably buy (so I would probably become the richest player regardless of the scam, with 28 coins/week & negligible upkeep). When I was going over the rules to make sure I don't mess up the actions, I discovered that error, which doesn't even allow me to upgrade the buildings "normally", otherwise I'd consider doing that. It also affects all players in the same way, the only difference is that I had lots of assets and land units before, which is hardly my fault. @VJ Rada: There is a mistake in a rule that allows you to upgrade facilities essentially for free, and I did that. Ad overpowered zombies: The first issue that should be tackled is that zombies actually don't cost anything, as you receive their money (usually a welcome package) when you buy them. Like G., I was surprised that the bids were so low in the zombie auction, considering all the zombies had at least 30 Coins. Quazie would not be nearly so useful to me if I didn't have the assets to buy all the land units and buildings. Suggested fix: a player loses all assets when their Master switch is flipped to Agora. They become eligible to receive a Welcome Package (for when they start playing again). A player can only receive WPs when eir Master switch is set to emself. The second issue raised, zombie master dictatorship, could be fixed by capping the total zombie vote power at some number, for example: Suppose that zombie vote power cap = 5, but there are 7 zombies, each with vote power 1. Each zombie's vote power will then be multiplied by 5/7. The cap could perhaps be the current Quorum?

I was about to build something, but then I noticed: A player CAN increase the rank of a facility e owns that is at eir location by exactly 1 by announcement by paying any upgrade costs of the facility for that specific rank. What does "paying" mean here, if anything? Is it actually possible to upgrade facilities, or is it ill defined and thus broken? ~Corona
