//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8459
Title: Talismans
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: nch, Falsifian, G.
For the purposes of this proposal, a player's prior master is eir master
before this proposal applies any effects.
Amend Rule 2532 to read, in whole:
{
A talisman is an indestructible asset, tracked by the Registrar, and
with ownership wholly restricted to players and Agora. There exists
exactly one talisman for each player, and no other talismans; if one
does not exist for a certain player, it is created in eir posession.
Talismans CAN only be transferred as explicitly specified by the rules.
The creation, destruction, and transfer of talismans is secured.
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, a player CAN, by announcement,
transfer the talisman for em to emself. The master of a player is the
entity that possesses the talisman for em. A player who is eir own
master is active; any other player is a zombie (syn. inactive).
The master of a zombie CAN act on behalf of em, except a master CANNOT
act on behalf of a zombie to:
- initiate, support, object to, or perform a dependent action;
- act on behalf of that zombie's zombies;
- bid in a zombie auction;
- enter a contract, pledge, or other type of agreement;
- initiate a Call for Judgement;
- create blots;
- deregister.
If a master causes a zombie to perform an ILLEGAL action, the master
commits the Class 4+N Crime of Masterminding (where N is the class of
the illegal action).
If an active player who was a zombie has not received a Welcome Package
since e most recently ceased being a zombie, and if eir resale value was
less than 2 at any point during eir most recent time as a zombie, then
any player CAN cause em to receive a Welcome Package by announcement.
}
Amend Rule 2574 to read, in whole:
{
Any player CAN, with notice, transfer the talisman for an active player
who has not made a public announcement in the past 60 days to Agora.
Resale value is a secured natural switch for zombies, tracked by the
Registrar, with a default value of 2. Whenever the talisman for a zombie
is transferred to a player, that zombie's resale value is decreased by
1. At the end of a zombie auction, the resale value of every zombie that
is an excess lot in that auction decreases by 1.
The talisman for a zombie with zero resale value CANNOT be transferred
to any player other than that zombie.
Any player CAN, with notice:
- If a zombie has been a zombie for the past 90 days and not had
Agora for a master during any of that time, transfer the talisman for
em to Agora;
- If a player possesses more than one talisman, specify and transfer
one of those talismans to Agora;
- Deregister a zombie whose resale value is zero and whose master is
Agora.
The Registrar SHALL track the date for each zombie on which Agora was
most recently eir master. The Registrar SHALL perform all POSSIBLE
actions in the preceding paragraph in a timely fashion after first
reporting their possibility via the facts in eir weekly report.
}
Amend Rule 1885 to read, in whole:
{
Whenever a zombie has Agora for a master and has a resale value greater
than 0, and when eir talisman is not currently a lot in an auction and
has not been won as an auction lot in the past 14 days, then the
Registrar CAN put that zombie's talisman (along with any other talismans
that fulfill the same conditions) up for auction.
In a timely fashion after the beginning of each month, the Registrar
SHALL either initiate such an auction or, if no talismans meeting these
conditions existed at the beginning of the month, announce that no such
auction is necessary.
For such an auction, each lot consists of the talisman for one zombie,
ordered at the discretion of the Registrar. The Registrar is the
auctioneer, and the minimum bid is 1. The method to be used for this
auction is the zombie auction method if such a method exists, or
otherwise the default auction method.
}
Amend Rule 2575 by replacing the final sentence with
"Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the talisman for the Distributor
is possessed by emself (and is transferred to em if it ever is not), and
e CANNOT deregister or be deregistered."
For each player who is not eir own prior master, transfer the talisman
for em to eir prior master.

Title: UV-G Sunblock
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: G.
Co-authors: ais523
Amend Rule 2438 (Ribbons) by replacing:
Ultraviolet (U): When a person is awarded the Patent Title
Champion, that person earns an Ultraviolet Ribbon.
with:
Ultraviolet (U): When a person is awarded the Patent Title
Champion, that person earns an Ultraviolet Ribbon, unless
the Champion title was awarded as the result of winning
the game via this rule.
Ultraviolet is hereby removed from G.'s Ribbon Ownership.

Title: Redoing Adopted Proposals
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: R. Lee
Co-authors: Aris
Amend rule 2450 "Pledges" by inserting the following sentence after
the words "where N is 2 unless the pledge explicitly states otherwise":
{It is also Oathbreaking for a player to let a pledge expire without taking
an action e pledged to do in that pledge. }
Amend rule 2531 "Defendant's Rights" by renumbering the list items so that
each item is preceded by a number one above the previous item, except the
first item which is preceded by the number 1.
Amend rule 2557 "Sentencing Guidelines" by replacing "where P is the
minimum of the value of the fine and 3" with "where P is the value of the
fine"
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8462
Title: Fee-based methods
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: Falsifian
Amend Rule 2579 by replacing the first three paragraphs with the following:
{
If the Rules associate payment of a set of assets (hereafter the fee for
the action; syns: cost, price, charge) with performing an action, that
method for performing that action is a fee-based method.
If the fee is a non-integer quantity of a fungible asset, the actual fee
is the next highest integer amount of that asset.
To use a fee-based method, an entity (the Actor) who is otherwise
permitted to perform the action must announce that e is performing the
action; the announcement must specify the correct set of assets for the
fee and indicate intent to pay that fee for the sole purpose of using
that method to perform that action.
}
and replacing the final paragraph with the following:
{
If a fee-based method to perform an action has a fee of no assets, that
action CAN be performed by announcement, but the actor SHOULD announce
that there was a 0 or empty fee.
}
[Inspired by Falsifian pointing out that winning the game is/was a
fee-based action, which might have meant that all attempts to win the
game required a fee. This removes actions being fee-based and instead
makes methods fee-based. This change is also designed to keep all
protections and (hopefully) protect existing precedent for fee-based
actions.]

Title: Future-proofing black ribbons
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors:
Amend Rule 2438 (Ribbons) by replacing the text "An Instrument CAN, as
part of its effect" with the text "A statute CAN, as part of its effect".
[Legislative intent is that black ribbons are to be awarded for a
dictatorship of any power. The current wording does not reflect this -
it instead permits black ribbons to be awarded for controlling a body of
law. Since part of the idea of bodies of law was to expand them to
regulations and contracts, this is a ticking time-bomb that could result
in giving black ribbons to anybody capable of forming a contract.]

Title: Public defense
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: Publius Scribonius Scholasticus
Amend Rule 2617 (Defense Against the Dark Arts) by replacing "Attempting
a forbidden action" with "Publicly attempting a forbidden action".
[This makes joke attempts to a-d or attempts outside of Agora not
punishable.]

Repeal Rule 2626 "Certifiable Patches".

ID: 8467
Title: Talismans auction patch
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: Trigon
Amend Rule 1885 by deleting the sentence beginning "The method to be
used for this auction".
[This fixes a specification bug in the talismans proposal, since
auctions are now supposed to have their method determined by the
auctioneer, rather than a rule. If talismans has not been adopted, then
this will have no effect.]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8468
Title: Decision resolution patch
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: nch, G.
Amend Rule 208 by replacing the text "To be valid, this announcement
must satisfy the following conditions" with the text "To be EFFECTIVE,
such an attempt must satisfy the following conditions".
[This resolves a potential bug that *may* permit the vote collector of a
decision to resolve it without adhering to the conditions in the
numbered list of Rule 208 based on the precise wording of how the
conditions are enforced. The argument that they don't work is that the
sentence doesn't sufficiently override R208's earlier statement that
"The vote collector for an unresolved Agoran decision CAN resolve it by
announcement, indicating the outcome.", because it describes the
announcement, rather than the attempt itself.
Even if that interpretation is wrong, there is enough of an ambiguity
that it should be resolved. The new wording makes this clearer by
describing the /attempt/ as INEFFECTIVE (clearly overriding the earlier
CAN) rather than the "announcement".]

Title: Bureaucratic Reengineering
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: Alexis, Falsifian, nch, G.
If there is a rule entitled "The Administrative State" amend it to have the
text labelled "NEW TEXT" below. Otherwise, enact a new power 2.0 rule entitled
"The Administrative State", with the text labelled "NEW TEXT" below.
NEW TEXT: {
Each officer CAN, with 1.5 Agoran consent, enact, amend, or repeal
eir own office's Administrative Regulations. If e has won an election for
the office in the last 7 days, e CAN repeal them by announcement.
Administrative Regulations have the following properties:
1. An officer SHALL NOT violate eir office's administrative regulations in
the discharge of eir office.
2. Any player CAN act on behalf of an officer to exercise eir official
powers as authorized by eir office's administrative regulations.
3. All players SHOULD abide by an officer's administrative regulations
in matters relating to eir area of responsibility.
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8470
Title: Sponsored Proposals
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: nch
Co-authors: G., Trigon
Amend R2622, "Pending Proposals", to read in full:
Pended is an untracked negative boolean proposal switch.
Any player CAN pay 1 Pendant to flip the Pended switch of a
specified proposal to True. If the player did not create the
proposal and is not listed in the list of co-authors of the
proposal, e is added to the list of co-authors. When e does so,
the proposal becomes sponsored.
The Promotor CAN, with 2+X support, flip the Pended switch of a
proposal in the Proposal Pool to true. For this, X is equal to the
number of times e has done so in the past 7 days.
Any player CAN, without objection, flip the Pended switch of a
proposal in the Proposal Pool to true.
A proposal with a Pended switch set to True is 'pending'.
Repeal R2626 "Certifiable Patches".
Amend R2623, "Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege", by replacing:
The player who proposed the adopted proposal whose referendum had
the greatest popularity among all referenda assessed in the last 7
days CAN once earn one Legislative Card by announcement, provided
that no referendum initiated in the same message as it remains
unresolved. If there is a tie, all authors of the tied proposals
can do so once each.
with:
The author of the most popular sponsored proposal adopted in the
last 7 days CAN once earn one Legislative Card by announcement,
provided that no referenda initiated in the same message as it
remain unresolved. If there is a tie, all authors of the tied
proposals can do so once each.
Amend R2496, "Rewards", by replacing "an adopted proposal" with "an
adopted sponsored proposal".

deregistered on account of having excessive blots.
with:
A player CANNOT receive a Welcome Package via this method if e has been
deregistered on account of having excessive blots within the last 30
days.
Amend Rule 2124, "Agoran Satisfaction", by replacing:
The above notwithstanding, if an action depends on objections, and
an objection to an intent to perform it has been withdrawn within
the past 24 hours, then Agora is not Satisfied with that intent.
with:
The above notwithstanding, if an action is to be performed without N
objections or with N Agoran consent, and an objection to an intent
to perform it has been withdrawn within the past 24 hours, then Agora
is not Satisfied with that intent.
