Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 2152 ("Mother, May I?") by replacing "CAN, POSSIBLE:" with "CAN, POSSIBLE, EFFECTIVE, VALID:" and by replacing "MAY:" with "MAY, LEGAL, PERMISSIBLE:". [Define the positives for all negative terms in R2152. "EFFECTIVE" in particularly is necessary for R2471/3 to work.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8973 Title: Not so welcome anymore Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 2499 ("Welcome Packages") by removing "* the number of hooves the player(s) with the most hooves has". ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8975 Title: De-regulating Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 2125 by replacing "The Rules SHALL NOT be interpreted so as to proscribe unregulated actions." with "The Rules are not to be interpreted so as to proscribe unregulated actions.". [This doesn't need to be an actual crime.] Amend Rule 2125 by appending the following paragraph: { The above notwithstanding, sending a message (in general or with specific attributes) is never a regulated action; however, the rules may be interpreted so as to proscribe sending public messages (in general or with specific attributes). } [Clarify this (sending a message being regulated would be very bad) and allow prohibiting the sending of messages (e.g. for No Faking).] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8976 Title: Ruleset convergance Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 2202 ("Ratification Without Objection") to read, in whole: { A public document is part (possibly all) of a public message. A player CAN, without objection, ratify a specified public document. Ratification Without Objection CANNOT cause the repeal, amendment, enactment, or mutation of any Rule, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. A player SHALL NOT knowingly use or announce intent to use Ratification Without Objection to ratify a (prior to ratification) document containing incorrect or Indeterminate information when a corrected document could be produced with reasonable effort, unless the general nature of the document's error and reason for ratifying it is clearly and plainly described in the announcement of intent. Such ratification or announcement of intent to ratify is the Class 8 Infraction of Endorsing Forgery. } Amend Rule 2422 ("Voting Strength") to read, in whole: { The voting strength of an entity on an Agoran decision is an integer between 0 and 15 inclusive, defined by rules of power 2 or greater. If not otherwise specified, the voting strength of an entity on an Agoran decision is 3. When multiple rules set or modify an entity's voting strength on an Agoran decision, it shall be determined by first applying the rule(s) which set it to a specific value, using the ordinary precedence of rules, and then applying the rules, other than this one, which modify it, in numerical order by ID. Finally, if the result of the calculation is not an integer, it is rounded up, and then if it is outside the allowable range of values for voting strength, it is set to the minimum value if it was less and the maximum value if it was more. } Amend Rule 2139 ("The Registrar") to read, in whole: { The Registrar is an office; its holder is responsible for keeping track of players. The Registrar's weekly report includes: 1. A list of all players, including information sufficient to identify and contact each player. 2. The date on which each player most recently became a player. 3. For each forum with non-Foreign publicity, sufficient instructions for players to receive messages there. The Registrar's monthly report includes: 1. For each former player for which the information is reasonably available, the dates on which e registered and deregistered. } Amend Rule 103 ("The Speaker") to read, in whole: { The Speaker is an imposed office and the figurehead leader of Agora. The player or players who have most recently won the game are called Laureled. If at any time the office of Speaker is vacant, or when one or more players win Agora, then the Prime Minister CAN once appoint a Laureled player to the office of Speaker by announcement. Whenever the Prime Minister CAN appoint a Laureled player to the office of Speaker, e SHALL do so in a timely manner, except that the Prime Minister MAY defer appointing a new Speaker while there is pending one or more open CFJs that could plausibly determine or affect the question of whether a player is Laureled. If the Prime Minister is emself Laureled, eir power to appoint a Speaker continues for the entirety of a message in which e resigns as Prime Minister, and if e is the only Laureled player, e CAN void that power, and thereby discharge the obligation to use it, by announcing that e declines to take the office. If the office of Speaker has been held continuously by the same person for the past 90+ days, then any player CAN appoint another player to the office with support. } [Reset the above rules to what they should be and were thought to be before the insufficient power errors were discovered.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8978 Title: Authorized initiation Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 107 ("Initiating Agoran Decisions") by replacing "A public notice purporting to initiate an Agoran decision is a self-ratifying attestation of the notice's validity." with "A public notice purporting to initiate an Agoran decision is a self-ratifying attestation that the notice was valid, that the person (if any) publishing the notice was authorized to initiate the decision, and that such a decision was initiated.". [The notice being "valid" is not enough for the decision to have been initiated, so also ratify that there was authorization and that the decision was actually initiated. Luckily this shouldn't matter historically because Rule 2034 ensures that the decision is ratified into existence at resolution.] //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
