Since there's no economic benefit to sending stamps to Agora, this is unnecessary complexity.] Amend Rule 2659 ("Stamps") by replacing { Stamps are a category of asset ownable by players and Agora. } with { Stamps are a category of asset ownable by players. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9187 Title: Gray Ribbon clarification Adoption index: 3.0 Author: kiako Co-authors: Janet, Kate [This is the only rule where "unless e has done so earlier in the month" is used instead of "Once per month". This proposal has two consequences: - Pending a CFJ (or precedent), the Tailor may be able to award two Gray Ribbons in the month this is adopted. - In a month where the Tailor changes to a new player, e will likely be unable to award a Gray Ribbon if the prior Tailor had done so that month, where the previous version may have allowed it. Seeing as Gray ribbons aren't exactly a hot commodity right now, I think the simplicity is better than the potential extra award.] Amend Rule 2438 ("Ribbons")by replacing { The Tailor CAN award a Gray Ribbon by announcement, unless e has done so earlier in the month. } with { Once per month the Tailor CAN award a Gray Ribbon by announcement. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9188 Title: Double Default Trouble Adoption index: 2.0 Author: kiako Co-authors: [No numerical switch uses the "default to 0" fallback, except for Crystal's identity, which is always set to a different value before it can be used. Considering the "default to null" fallback, 5 switches explicitly create and define a "none" instance, and two more define similar values under different names ("unassigned" and "vacant"). It is clear then that neither of these fallbacks take on the semantic meaning of "a default value meant to be used". In this case, it would make more sense to unambiguously allow Crystal identity to default to "null", assigning that fallback the semantic meaning of "This switch must have a default value, but it does not matter what it is because it is never used in practice." Janet noted that this would break mathematical operations if a numerical switch ends up using the default, but under this new semantic meaning I believe the outcome is what is expected: since "null + 3" is undefined, the switch fails to be flipped, and remains "null". (Defaulting to 0, on the other hand, would give the guise that the default should be considered a usable instance.)] Amend Rule 2509 ("Agoran Numbers") by removing the following paragraph: { If 0 is in the specified values for a numerical switch and no default value is otherwise specified, 0 is the default value for that switch. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9189 Title: Did you get a permit for that party? Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Kate Amend Rule 2480 ("Festivals") by replacing the final paragraph with the following paragraph: { A player who would be Festive if Agora's Festivity were N CAN flip it to N (where N is an integer greater than Agora's Festivity) with 4 support from other players who would be Festive if Agora's Festivity were N, unless Agora's Festivity has had a value greater than or equal to N in the past 21 days. } and by appending the following sentence to the first paragraph: { A Festival is ongoing whenever Agora's Festivity is non-zero. } and by replacing each instance of "nonzero" with "non-zero". [Removes the definition of the action of Starting a Festival, which was mildly redundant and, more importantly, did not have its POSSIBILITY secured. Cleans up some other language to be more precise.] Amend Rule 2481 ("Festival Restrictions") by replacing each instance of "nonzero" with "non-zero". [While we're here, normalize this language.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9190 Title: If there exists a party Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Kate Amend Rule 2480 ("Festivals") by replacing the final two paragraphs with the following paragraphs: { A Festive person is a person whose Laudability is greater than or equal to Agora's Festivity. An N-Festive person is a person who would be Festive, were Agora's Festivity N. For any integer N greater than Agora's Festivity, an N-Festive player CAN flip Agora's Festivity to N with 4 support from other N-Festive players, unless Agora's Festivity has had a value greater than or equal to N in the past 21 days. } [Adds onto the first proposal ("Did you get a permit for that party?") by rewriting the same text in slightly more mathematical language. We think this is clearer than the original rule, but opinions may vary. The two proposals are written such that this should work even if the first one doesn't pass.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9191 Title: Back to the twenties Adoption index: 1.0 Author: snail Co-authors: Amend Rule 2690 (Spendies) by replacing "every player is granted 15 Spendies" with "every player is granted 20 Spendies". //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
