It's cool that you want to vote again, but you unfortunately have voting
strength 0 since you have 3 or more blots.

On another note, you're a zombie so if you intend to seriously get back
into the game, you should probably flip your matter switch.

ID: 8112
Title: The Middle Way
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: G.
Co-authors: ATMunn


Amend Rule 2510 (Such is Karma) by replacing the list in which the list
items are delimited with the - symbol with the following list:

  - Any player with a karma of 5 or greater is a Samurai.

  - Any player with a karma of -5 or less is an Gamma.

  - The Samurai with the highest karma (if any) is the Shogun.

  - The Gamma with the lowest karma (if any) is the Honourless
Worm.

[By replacing 'player' with 'Samurai' and 'Gamma' in the last two
list items, you can't get Shogun/Worm unless you've cleared a basic
barrier - right now you could be a Worm even if your karma isn't
all that low].

[ Comment: I noticed that there are an entire eight rules defining
  auctions and I thought that was a bit excessive. Oh, we also missed a
  few sentences about contracts initiating auctions so this removes
  them. This contains no functional changes but it makes the rules
  defining auctions less cumbersome. ]

Amend rule 2545 'Auctions' to read:

  An Auction is a way for entities to give away items in exchange
  for a currency. Any rule CAN permit or require Auctions to be
  initiated.

  Each Auction has one or more lots of items. A lot is a non-empty
  list of items to be transferred to a single recipient.

  Each Auction has an Auctioneer. All rules permitting Auctions to
  be initiated should specify an entity to be Auctioneer. If no
  Auctioneer is specified, the default Auctioneer is Agora.

  Each Auction has an Announcer. Only persons can be Announcers. If
  the Auctioneer of an Auction is a player, then that player is also
  the Announcer of that Auction. Otherwise, the rule defining an
  Auction CAN define the Announcer for that Auction.

Amend the last paragraph of rule 2549 'Auction Initiation' by replacing
'coins' with 'Agora's official currency'.

Amend the last paragraph of rule 2551 'Auction End' by removing the
final sentence.

Repeal rule 2546 'Lots'
Repeal rule 2547 'The Auctioneer'
Repeal rule 2548 'The Auction Announcer'
