DIS: [(Proto-?)proto-proto proposal] Putting Agora in Space

I was trying to think of some proposal ideas (as, of course, proposals are the whole point of Agora). A few different ideas went through my head, and then possibly the coolest/dumbest one came: space. This is basically a big list of ideas for how space could work, probably only some of which

One random added idea—what if there was a temporal component to the space travel, so that you wouldn’t move from place to place instantaneously but instead might take a few days to traverse the galaxy or whatever? And what if some Agoran actions could only be taken while you are in certain places?

Here's a minimally patched proto of Alexis's Politics system. I'm undoubtedly missing something, so any corrections would be appreciated. Also, I've left two values unspecified, , which is the number of coins charged for something; and , a player who's willing to serve as the first Clork.

Yes, I agree. Otherwise we'd have to assume that if you just replied to yourself in BUS, every action in quotes would be re-done. (And that's specifically why you need to append a PF rather than just forwarding from DIS to BUS without comment). I'd define the unclarity as "unclear

I don't see much immediate benefit in adding this because a lot seems redundant. 1 - Doesn't Regulated Actions already cover this? 2 - CFJs should cover this. 3 - Shouldn't Contracts cover this? 4 - I think this is new but it could be added I guess, somehow. 5 - I think this is already in the

If I were judge, I'd say it failed according to your third theory. Nothing marks that this is something that's actually being done in the present, rather than a use of the historical present tense. The interests of the game seem to agree with me, which is relevant for interpretation according to

G. commented that e moved most of the provisions, rather than deleting them. All we'd be doing is reconsolidating them. A few other rights we might add: - The right to believe anything that isn't demonstrably false - The right not to be ignored - The right to have a path to obtain meaningful

Have we ever had an economy where we have multiple interlocking small mini-games, rather than one very large one? That might be interesting to try. My motivation here is that everyone seems to have a different idea. I, for one, really want to bring back the Politics system. However, that system

I like the simplicity. One bug report: you say “all the above rules are repealed” which probably doesn't work if only some of the phrasings (which I very much like) are successful. You might try something like “for each entry above that purports to refer to a rule, repeal the rule referred to by

My current view is that this is consistent with the newly reiterated CFJ on clarity. Under the current text of the Rule, the intended action must be clear and unambiguous, but there is not any current requirement that the *announcement of intent* itself be made clearly or conspicuously. The new
