 It works when Rule 2169 does it, doesn't it?

I don't believe the rules (especially those with power below 3) can
just create binding agreements among people, as Every person has the
right to refuse to become party to a binding agreement.  The absence
of a person's explicit, willful consent shall be considered a
refusal.

The proposed rule doesn't claim to bind people to the partnership
without explicit consent.  There's an issue of timing, where the
partnership is claimed to exist while it still has no parties, but
that could be ironed out.  In any case, the new version dodges these
issues.

DIS: 1st proposal

2008-06-17 Thread Chester Mealer
This is just an idea I'm playing around with at the moment and does not meet
the requirements of rule 106 yet to be a proposal.

Anyone have thoughts on this:

Amend rule: 1922

To append the following text:

 (g)  Official Greeter, to be awarded by the IADoP, to any player who
announces eir intent to become a greeter with Agoran consent (ratio 1). This
title is to be revoked by the IADoP only following a judgement of TRUE on a
CFJ on the statement X did not perform duties one would expect of a greeter,
where X is a player currently holding the patent title of Official Greeter.
Should one or more offices with duties of greeting and helping new players
be created, any player not currently holding that office will lose the title
of Official Greeter, and any player holding that office shall gain the title
of Official Greeter. Thereafter, the title shall be granted and revoked as
necessary to ensure that all holders of that office shall also have the
title and all players not holding that office shall not have the title.

Why do it as a patent title when we have an office mechanism?

Because it wasn't well enough thought through, that's why i made sure it was
not a proposal.

I figured the patent title would let it be only semi-official and allow for
multiple greeters. I was under the impression only one player could fill an
office.

But offices can be (and have been) filled by partnerships.

Yeah, I'd definitely go with an office for that. But I like the idea.

(Still not a proposal)
revised after some discussion  now version 2.1
Agoran Welcoming Committee

1. This creates an office called Agoran Greeter.

2. This office is an imposed office.

3. This office shall remain vacant until imposed upon a partnership entitled
Agoran Welcoming Committee. Should a partnership be so named, and meet the
other requirements for eligibility, this office shall be imposed upon that
partnership.

4. To be eligible for this office the partnership's obligations must include
all of the following:
A. Greet all new players.
B. Engage in contact with new players to assist them.
C. Engage in contact with new players to ensure a positive experience.

There now this should provide for an office for greeters and ensure they
have the proper obligations.

 (By the way, is it the subset or the parties themselves that must
 number at least two?)

The subset.
