This should encourage trading and slow down rounds.] Amend the rule with title "Bang!" by replacing "by paying a fee of 1 bang." with "by paying a fee of 2 bangs." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9136 Title: Sorting out sortition Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Kate, Mischief Amend Rule 2691 ("Sortition Procedure") by, as a single amendment, replacing the pargraph { At the beginning of each quarter, the ADoP CAN by announcement, and SHALL in a timely manner, initiate a sorition for each sortitioned office if e has not already done so for that office. } with the following paragraphs: { A player CAN by announcement initiate a sortition for a vacant sortitioned office for which a sortition is not ongoing. At the beginning of each quarter, for each sortitioned office for which a sortition is not ongoing, the ADoP CAN once by announcement, and SHALL in a timely fashion, initiate a sortition. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, a sortition CANNOT be initiated for an office for which a sortition is ongoing. } and by appending the following paragraph: { If a sortition is ever ongoing for a non-sortitioned office (or for an office that no longer exists), that sortition immediately ends. } [Ensure at most one sortition for an office can be ongoing, allow sortitioning vacant sortition offices, and handle the edge case of the rules changing during a sortition.] Amend Rule 1006 ("Offices") by replacing the paragraphs { Imposed offices and sortitioned are offices described as such by the rules that define them. All other offices are elected A person CANNOT be made the holder of an elected office without eir explicit or reasonably implied consent. The holder of an elected office CAN resign it by announcement, causing it to become vacant. The non-interim holder of an elected office CAN, with 3 support, resign the office while appointing another player to become the holder of the office, provided that other player is one of the Supporters. Any player CAN cause an office to become vacant without 2 objections. } with the following paragraphs: { Imposed offices and sortitioned offices are offices described as such by the rules that define them. All other offices are elected. An office is voluntary if and only if it is elected or sortitioned. The selection method for a sortitioned office is a sortition for that office. The selection method for an elected office is an election for that office. A person CANNOT be made the holder of a voluntary office without eir consent. A person voluntarily entering emself into the selection method of that office always satisfies this requirement, regardless of whether it meets the normal definition of consent. The holder of a voluntary office CAN resign it by announcement, causing it to become vacant. Any player CAN cause a voluntary office to become vacant without 2 objections. The non-interim holder of an elected office CAN, with 3 support, resign the office while appointing another player to become the holder of the office, provided that other player is one of the supporters. } [Allow resigning sortitioned offices. Ensure sortitioned offices are protected with consent. Replace "explicit or reasonably implied consent" with the normal definition and ensure becoming a candidate/option always meets it. Restrict w/o 2 objections removal to voluntary offices.] Amend Rule 2573 ("Impeachment") by replacing the text "elected office" with the text "voluntary office" and by replacing the text "an election is immediately opened for that office" with the text "the selection method for that office is immediately initiated (if possible)". [Allow impeachment for sortitioned offices.] Amend Rule 2160 ("Deputisation") by replacing the text "elected office" with the text "voluntary office". [Allow deputizing for sortitioned offices.] Amend Rule 2438 ("Ribbons") by replacing the text "elected office" with the text "voluntary office". [Allow sortitioned offices to count for green ribbons.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9137 Title: A possible patch for a peculiar persisting pledge paradox Adoption index: 1.7 Author: Quadrantal Co-authors: Aris [A fix for pledge indeterminacy (see CFJ 3907). Defaults to the pledge having been violated, as the infraction system seems to have enough flexibility to forgive pledges that are broken on a technicality] Amend Rule 2450 ("Pledges") by appending to the first paragraph as follows: { If it would otherwise be indeterminate whether a player has violated a pledge, then e shall be deemed to have violated that pledge. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9138 Title: Stone cost adjustments Adoption index: 2.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 2642 by, as a single amendment: * Appending the following to the paragraph beginning "Any player CAN": " When this occurs, the stone cost of that stone is set to its default value.". * Replacing the paragraph beginning "At the beginning of each week" with the following paragraph: { At the beginning of each Agoran week, the Stone Cost of each stone is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 1). When a stone is transferred to Agora, its Stone Cost is reset to its default value. } [Go back to something close to the old system, since the current system just results in stone costs decreasing forever. Slightly tweaked so that, e.g., the Soul Stone doesn't reset costs. If you want the protection of the higher cost, you should have to pay for it.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9139 Title: Protection Stone Fix Adoption index: 2.0 Author: Mischief Co-authors: Janet [Under the current rules, whenever the Protection Stone is protecting itself and ends up in Agora's possession, it's stuck there permanently.] Amend rule 2640 (Stones) by replacing A stone is immune if and only if a rule of power 2 or more says it is immune; otherwise it is non-immune. with: A stone is immune if and only if a rule of power 2 or more says it is immune and it is not owned by Agora; otherwise it is non-immune. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9140 Title: Whoops, missed one Adoption index: 2.0 Author: Quadrantal Co-authors: Janet [P9096 failed, so Growth was never repealed. This is the language from that proposal] Amend Rule 2451 ("Executive Orders") by deleting the list item (including the bullet point) that contains "Growth" ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9141 Title: Time for some clarifications Adoption index: 2.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 1023 ("Agoran Time") to read, in full: { The following terms are defined: 1. The phrase "in a timely fashion" means "within 7 days". This time period is set when the requirement is created (i.e. X days before the limit ends). A requirement to perform an action at an exact instant (e.g. "when X, Y SHALL Z"), but not "in the same message", is instead interpreted as a requirement to perform that action in a timely fashion after that instant. 2. The phrase "in an officially timely fashion" means "before the end of the next Agoran week". This time period is set when the requirement is created (i.e. between 7 and 14 days before the period ends). 3. Agoran epochs: a. Agoran days begin at midnight UTC. b. Agoran weeks begin at midnight UTC on Monday. Eastman weeks begin at midnight UTC on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of each Gregorian month; the fifth one of the month (if any) lasts till the end of the month. c. Agoran months begin at midnight UTC on the first day of each Gregorian month. d. Agoran quarters begin when the Agoran months of January, April, July, and October begin. e. Agoran years begin when the Agoran month of January begins. f. A pivot is either the instant at which Agora Nomic began (June 30, 1993, 00:04:30 GMT +1200) or an instant at which at least one person won the game. When used as a period of time, a "Round" (historical syn: "game") is the period of time between a pivot and the next pivot. The "Agoran" qualifier is assumed unless a different definition is indicated (e.g. Eastman weeks). These definitions do not apply to relative durations (e.g. "within days after "). 4. Two points in time are within a month of each other if: a. they occur in the same Agoran month; b. they occur in two consecutive Agoran months, and the later of the two occurs in an earlier day in the month than the earlier one; c. they occur in two consecutive Agoran months on the same day of the month, and the later of the two occurs at the same or earlier time of day. 5. Any anniversary, monthly anniversary, or quarterly anniversary that would otherwise occur on a day of the month that does not exist (after considering any leap day) instead occurs on the following day. } [Converge after the question for P9123, and renumber the sub-lists to use letters. This is a "read in full" amendment because of the question and because it would be a nightmare to try to specify the changes.] //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
