Amend Rule 2576 (Ownership) by replacing this text: If an asset's owner would otherwise be nonexistent, indeterminate, or invalid, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its backing document. with this text: An asset "in abeyance" is one whose owner is nonexistent, indeterminate, or invalid. If an asset would otherwise be in abeyance, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its backing document (provided that the modification either destroys it or prevents it from being in abeyance). ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8501 Title: Statutes are Instruments Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Gaelan Amend Rule 2612 by replacing the sentence beginning "The statutes of Agora form a body of law" with the following: "The statutes of Agora form a body of law with unlimited scope, where each statute is a single instrument in that body of law." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8502 Title: Timely reminders Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Aris Amend Rule 2168 by replacing the text "Upon such an occurrence" with the text "Within four days of such an occurrence" ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8503 Title: Assorted Obligatory Patches Adoption index: 2.2 Author: Aris Co-authors: G., nix, Janet Chamber: Justice [Breaking pledges is currently not ILLEGAL. Pledges can arguably be created without consent. Rule 2450 does not actually delegate selection of crime class to the pledge at present, and simply fails to specify its class if the pledge does. Current text: Rule 2450/9 (Power=1.7) Pledges If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform (or refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the pledge within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of Oathbreaking, 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. The time window of a pledge is 60 days, unless the pledge explicitly states otherwise. A pledge ceases to exist at the end of its time window. If breaking the pledge harms specific other parties, the Referee SHOULD solicit the opinion of those parties in determining an appropriate fine. The Notary CAN destroy a pledge Without Objection, but SHOULD NOT do so unless the pledge no longer serves any significant purpose. ] Amend Rule 2450, "Pledges", by changing it to read in full: If a consenting Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform (or refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the pledge is ILLEGAL; doing so is the Class N crime of Oathbreaking, where N is the value explicitly stated by the pledge, or 2 if the pledge does not explicitly state a value. Allowing a pledge to expire without carrying out an action one pledged to do in it constitutes breaking the pledge. The time window of a pledge is W days, where W is the value explicitly stated by the pledge, or 60 if the pledge does not explicitly state a value. A pledge ceases to exist at the end of its time window. If breaking the pledge harms specific other parties, the Referee SHOULD solicit the opinion of those parties in determining an appropriate fine. The Notary CAN destroy a pledge Without Objection, but SHOULD NOT do so unless the pledge no longer serves any significant purpose. [Promises can arguably be created without consent. Currently the rule purports to authorize non-player persons to create promises, which is pretty pointless and doesn't really work because non-players can't own promises. In addition, currently one must grant oneself a promise and then transfer it; this is an unnecessary extra step.] Amend Rule 2618, "Promises", by replacing: A person CAN, by announcement, grant emself a promise, specifying its text and becoming its creator. with: A consenting player CAN, by announcement, grant a specified entity a promise, specifying its text and becoming its creator. [Currently it is arguably the reports and the tabular data that is in violation of the rule.] Amend Rule 2143, "Official Reports and Duties", by replacing: Reports SHALL be published in plain text. Tabular data must line up properly when viewed in a monospaced font. Publishing a report that deviates from these restrictions is the Class 2 Crime of Making My Eyes Bleed. with: An officer SHALL publish eir report in plain text, with tabular data lining up properly when viewed in a monospaced font. Publishing a report that deviates from these restrictions is the Class 2 Crime of Making My Eyes Bleed. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
