Amend Rule 2451 ("Executive Orders") by replacing the sentence The Prime Minister levies a 2 Blot fine on a specified player. with the sentence The Prime Minister levies a fine of 2 on a specified player. Amend Rule 2479 ("Official Justice") by replacing the text "levying a fine of up to 2 blots on em" with the text "levying a fine of (a value not exceeding 2) on em". ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8236 Title: Definition de-capitalization Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Aris Amend Rule 1728 to read, in whole: The following methods of taking actions are known as "dependent actions": 1. without N objections, where N is a positive integer no greater than 8 ("without objection" is shorthand for this method with N = 1); 2. with N support, where N is a positive integer ("with support" is shorthand for this method with N = 1); 3. with N Agoran consent, where N is an integer multiple of 0.1 with a minimum of 1 ("With Agoran consent" is shorthand for this method with N = 1); 4. with notice; or 5. with T notice, where T is a time period. N is 1 unless otherwise specified. Amend Rule 2595 as follows: In the first sub-bullet under item 2 of the only list, replace the text "with T Notice" with the text "with T notice". In the second sub-bullet under item 2 of the only list, replace the text "Without N Objections, With N Support, or With N Agoran Consent" with the text "without N objections, with N support, or with N Agoran Consent". In the first sub-bullet under item 3 of the only list, replace the text "With N Support" with the text "with N support". In the second sub-bullet under item 3 of the only list, replace the text "Without N Objections, With N Agoran Consent, or With Notice" with the text "without N objections, with N Agoran consent, or with notice". In the third sub-bullet under item 3 of the only list, replace the text "With T Notice" with the text "with T notice". In the final paragraph, replace the text "with N Agoran Consent" with the text "with N Agoran consent". Amend the only list in Rule 2124 ("Agoran Satisfaction") to read: 1. The action is to be performed Without N objections, and there are at least N Objectors to that intent. 2. The action is to be performed With N support, and there are fewer than than N Supporters of that intent. 3. The action is to be performed with N Agoran consent, and the number of Supporters of the intent is less than or equal to N times the number of Objectors to the intent. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8239 Title: The Editor (v2.0.1) Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: G., Aris, Trigon [Comment: Creates a new role, the Editor, who is the same person as the Rulekeepor and which is responsible for promulgating regulations (Editorial Guidelines) about non-substantive elements of the Ruleset. Currently, guidelines are not written down anywhere official, which probably contributes to the inconsistency arising in the first place.] Enact a new Rule with power 1, title "The Editor", and text as follows: The Editor is the same person, if any, as the Rulekeepor. The Editor CAN, with Agoran consent, enact regulations, collectively called "Editorial Guidelines". The Editor CAN, with Agoran consent, repeal and amend Editorial Guidelines. The Editor is the Promulgator for all Editorial Guidelines. Editorial Guidelines SHOULD pertain only to matters that affect non-substantive aspects of the Rules, e.g. capitalization or spelling. Editorial Guidelines CANNOT place any enforceable requirements upon any player and CANNOT cause any changes to the gamestate. Whether or not the text of a textual entity conforms to the Editorial Guidelines SHOULD NOT affect the interpretation of that entity. When writing proposals and enacting or amending regulations, players SHOULD follow all reasonable directives that are set out in the Editorial Guidelines. Causing an Editorial Guideline to be inconsistent with any other Editorial Guideline is the Class 1 Crime of Editorial Hypocrisy. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8240 Title: Regulation clarification Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: [Comment: Currently, R2493 reads as if any person who happens to be Promulgator can enact/amend/repeal _any_ regulation (without otherwise specified rules) with 2 Agoran Consent. While not the most serious bug, it's probably not what was intended.] Amend Rule 2493 ("Regulations") as follows: Replace the sentence beginning "By default" with the sentence By default, a person CAN, with 2 Agoran consent, enact, amend, or repeal a regulation for which e is the Promulgator. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8241 Title: Secured switches (v2.0) Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Falsifian [Comment: define what it means for switches to be "secured", then use that definition. This works with default power thresholds since it isn't R2162 that designates the changes as secured, the Rule that defines the switch is defined as designating the changes as secured.] Amend Rule 2162 by appending the following sentence to the paragraph beginning "At any given time": A Rule that designates a switch as "secured" (at a given power level) designates changes to the properties of that type of switch as secured (at that power level) and designates changes to the value of each instance of the switch as secured (at that power level). Amend Rule 1950 as follows: Delete the text "Adoption index is secured with a power threshold of 2.". Replace the text Adoption index (AI) is an untracked switch possessed by Agoran decisions and proposals. with the text Adoption index (AI) is an untracked switch possessed by Agoran decisions and proposals, secured at power 2. Amend Rule 2480 as follows: Delete the text "Changes to Festivity are secured.". Replace the text "Festivity is a singleton switch" with the text "Festivity is a secured singleton switch". Amend Rule 869 as follows: Delete the text "Changes to citizenship are secured.". Replace the text "Citizenship is a person switch" with the text "Citizenship is a secured person switch". Amend Rule 478 as follows: Delete the text "Changes to publicity are secured.". Replace the text "Publicity is a forum switch" with the text "Publicity is a secured forum switch.". ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8242 Title: Let the dead rest Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Falsifian Co-authors: If Hālian is a zombie, then deregister em. [Comment: eir resale value was 0 before R. Lee deregistered, so e was due to be deregistered.] Append the following sentence to the end of the first paragraph of Rule 2532 (Zombies): When a zombie's master ceases to be a player, the value of the zombie's master switch is set to Agora. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
