Comment: This moves CFJ deadlines to always be at the end of an Agoran week, hopefully ensuring judges are less frequently caught by surprise even if the Arbitor does not perform eir duties at the same time every week. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9217 Title: Reload Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Mischief Co-authors: [Provides a mechanism to slowly ratchet up the pressure. The delay is deliberately designed to avoid giving an advantage to someone who both orders ammo and loads a round right before the end of a week.] Amend rule 2696 (Bang actions) by adding at the end: A player may order more ammo by announcement if both of the following are true: the match state is ongoing and has not changed in the past 21 days; and no one has ordered more ammo in the current or prior week. When a player orders more ammo, at the end of the following week each alive player gains one bang. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9219 Title: Automatic Registration Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Kate Co-authors: Murphy Amend Rule 869, "How to Join and Leave Agora", by replacing "desire to become a player" with "desire to be a player". COMMENTS: This was suggested in Murphy's comments on CFJ 4100 subsequent to its first judgement. The objective is to allow unregistered people who believe they have already become registered just by signing up to the mailing list to automatically become players when they attempt to take an action by announcement, hopefully eliminating a common pitfall. This legislatively overturns the precedent originally set by CFJ 3776 and reaffirmed by CFJ 4100. I'm not certain this will be a popular change; it does represent a shift in longstanding game custom. But Agora is a game about the rules changing, and maybe it's time for this one to. At the least, I thought it would be good to bring it to a vote. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9223 Title: Yet Another Transparent Ribbon Solution Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Kate Co-authors: Mischief, ais523, Janet Amend Rule 2438, "Ribbons", by performing the following changes to its text in order as a single amendment. Replace the four paragraphs beginning "White", "Black", "Gray" and "Transparent" with the following text: White (W): A player qualifies for a White Ribbon if e has never previously owned a White Ribbon (including under previous rulesets). A player who has been registered for the past 30+ days or 180+ cumulative days and has never acted on eir own behalf to cause another person to gain a White Ribbon (including under a previous ruleset) CAN act on eir own behalf to cause another person to earn a White Ribbon by announcement. Black (K): An instrument CAN, as part of its effect, cause a person to earn a Black Ribbon. Gray (A): Once per month the Tailor CAN, by announcement, cause a specified player to earn a Gray Ribbon. E is ENCOURAGED to do so in the same message in which e publishes eir monthly report. Transparent (T): A person qualifies for a Transparent Ribbon while the number of other types of Ribbon that that person qualified for within the previous 7 days is at least 5. When a person earns a White, Black or Gray Ribbon, this Rule awards that person a Ribbon of that type. If a proposal entitled "Codify the Loophole" has been adopted in the past 14 days (including earlier in the same message), then, in the paragraph starting "Transparent", replace "7 days" with "14 days". COMMENTS: This is an alternative solution to the Transparent Ribbon question: instead of codifying the way it works now, it rephrases the White and Gray Ribbons so that they uses the same earn/qualify framework as the other Ribbons. This removes the need for Transparent to reference the concept of "awarding" at all, therefore removing any ability to extend the Transparent Ribbon contribution time by delaying a ribbon award. I *believe* this removes any (in-game) incentives to delay awarding a Ribbon or Raising a Banner when it is POSSIBLE to do so (which none of the other proposed fixes do, yet; "Codify the Loophole" makes the impact smaller by making the timescale more generous, but awarding a Ribbon late still extends the window to contribute to Transparent). This proposal isn't mutually exclusive with "Trash 'em" or "Ribbon Responsibility". It does conflict with "Codify the Loophole"; if both proposals pass, this one takes precedence (assuming the Assessor resolves them in order), but extends the time limit to the maximum that would have been possible under the existing system. I intend to vote FOR all the current fix proposals, including this one, unless bugs are discovered. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
