[To see the difference, consider a proposal that took effect before the to-be-replaced language was in place.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9303 Title: Voluntary Turnover Adoption index: 2.0 Author: Mischief Co-authors: Amend rule 1006 (Offices) by replacing the text reading: 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. with: The non-interim holder of a voluntary 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. [Expand the option to sortitioned offices too.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9304 Title: Fix Welcome Packages Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Mischief Co-authors: Amend rule 2499 (Welcome Packages) to read: A player CAN, by announcement, cause a specified player to receive a welcome package (syn. "grant" em a welcome package). When a player receives a welcome package, if e has not received a welcome package, including under any previous definition, since e last registered nor in the past 30 days, then e: * gains 15 spendies, if e has not been granted any spendies since e last registered; * gains 16 Hectares; and * scores the date of eir registration. [Let's stop the bleeding, at least. How to clean it up equitably is a much thornier issue.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9305 Title: Fix temporary deputisation ISIDTID Adoption index: 3.0 Author: ais523 Co-authors: In rule 2160, change {{{ 3) The deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is doing so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation. }}} to {{{ 3) The deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is doing so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation (in the latter case, the deputisation is considered temporary). }}} [The rule allowed you to announce that you were performing temporary deputisation but didn't specify any consequences for doing so, meaning that AFAICT an announcement of temporary deputisation would actually deputise permanently.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9306 Title: Ratification timing clarification Adoption index: 3.2 Author: ais523 Co-authors: In rule 1551, change {{{ the gamestate is modified to what it would be if }}} to {{{ the gamestate is modified to what it would currently be if }}} [A possible reading of rule 1551 is that ratification rewinds the entire gamestate to the truth time. I think (or at least hope) that reading loses the rule 217 tiebreak, but given how important ratification is to keeping Agora working, and how problematic it would be to have the gamestate randomly rewind, I would like to make this unambiguous.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9307 Title: Cleaner punctuation Adoption index: 3.0 Author: ais523 Co-authors: In rule 2221, change "spelling, grammar," to "spelling, grammar, punctuation,". In rule 107, if the penultimate paragraph does not end with a full stop, append a full stop to it. In rule 2555, in "A person with 1 or more blots is Impure, a person with 0 blots is Pure.", change the comma to a semicolon. In rule 2555, if the second paragraph does not end with a full stop, append a full stop to it. [Allow cleaning for punctuation, which currently isn't possible. Also contains some fixes for punctuation errors I noticed.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9308 Title: Fix passive SHOULD Adoption index: 1.0 Author: ais523 Co-authors: In rule 2492, change {{{ If a judge is recused from a case that was continuously open and assigned to em for at least the past 4 days, e SHOULD NOT be assigned as a judge until e has apologised and/or reasonably explained eir actions. }}} to {{{ If a judge is recused from a case that was continuously open and assigned to em for at least the past 4 days, players SHOULD NOT assign em as a judge until e has apologised and/or reasonably explained eir actions. }}} [With the current wording, if the Arbitor assigns a judge too early, it is the judge rather than the Arbitor who has violated the SHOULD, which is not what we want. "Players" rather than "the Arbitor" because there are some situations where players other than the Arbitor do the assignment, e.g. if the Referee is handling a CFJ.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 9309 Title: Packing list Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Murphy Co-authors: Amend Rule 2499 (Welcome Packages) by replacing this text: A player CAN, by announcement, cause a specified player to receive a welcome package (syn. "grant" em a welcome package). with this text: A player CAN, by announcement, cause a specified player to receive a welcome package (syn. "grant" em a welcome package), and SHOULD specify the assets thus gained. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
