Well, sub-games have to balance letting new players join (via welcome
packages etc.) with not letting everyone trivially re-set their position
via deregistration (which can spoil the subgame if it's too easy).  I think
anything much shorter makes it harder to do that.  We've been pretty-well
calibrated (in player rewards etc) to that 30 days for a long time, though
that assumes players are making a conscious choice of whether a reset is
worth the length of the timeout.

Maybe we should codify an override, e.g. "Exception to the 30-day limit
CAN happen via 3 Agoroan Consent, provided the to-be-registered person
announces support too; this SHOULD only be done if the 30-day limit is
manifestly unfair based on the circumstances of the deregistration".

The Registrar's report has a "deregistered emself by mistake" entry for
a reason :-D

This is a bit different, it's "deregistered emself intentionally
without realising the consequences". I'm not totally against giving
people a pass for that, even if it was part of a scam, but with a
caveat that they mustn't have gained any benefit from the scam attempt

If another person does it in the near future I won't feel so
forgiving; I don't want to make it a pattern, and anyway people who
didn't know that rule should know it now.

In this case, as Registrar, I encourage others to vote FOR bringing

The minimum necessary changes, I think, are:

-Cancel the CAN create clause

-Create ships in the possession of everyone who does not currently have one

-Destroy ships when the owner deregisters

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: space

2019-07-24 Thread Reuben Staley

The history of spaceship switches:

ATMunn's original proto had spaceships as fixed assets. Several players 
suggested replacing them with player switches because it would be easier 
that way. Later versions had spaceship switches as player switches. This 
was the system we'd decided on until twg suggested switching them back 
for extensibility. Some of us had proposal outlines to make spaceships 
modular and it was just more logical to have spaceships be their own 
assets that could own modules rather than anything else.


When ATMunn stopped caring, twg took over writing the spaaace proposals 
and turned spaceships into assets again. No one commented on it afterward.


Obviously those extensions never happened. Now that we are starting to 
realize how broken spaaace is again, the same disagreements are popping up.


To decide if we want to turn spaceships into a set of player switches 
again, we have to decide if we want modules and if we care about 
elegance if and when they are implemented.


But we need to focus on fixing what we already have first.

I disagree. There's no text that says the Space Battle ends when one of 
the involved spaceships ceases to exist. I argue that you still have an 
obligation to resolve the Space Battle (at least once Aris communicates 
eir energy spent).

Spaceship by 1."

[Comment: Right now, Defeated Spaceships are effectively dead forever.
If a player goes all out and kills the other person's Spaceship, they
are effectively banished from the subgame forever. To solve this, a
slight penalty is added for repairing a Defeated spaceship. The number
of coins remains small because it is just a subgame.]
