Proposal: Complex scoring
(AI = 2, please)
root is a co-author of this proposal.
Amend Rule 2179 (Points) to read:
For each point axis:
a) <axis> Points is a fixed currency.
b) A player's <axis> coordinate (syn. <axis> score) is the
number of <axis> points e owns.
There are two point axes, X and Y. A player's score is x + yi,
where x is eir X coordinate and y is eir Y coordinate.
Ownership of points is restricted to players. If winning is
secured, then changes to point holdings are secured with the
same power threshold.
The Scorekeepor is a high-priority office, and the recordkeepor
of points.
Amend Rule 2136 (Contests) by replacing this text:
b) Doing so would cause a player to be contestmaster of more
than one contest.
with this text:
b) Doing so would cause a player to be contestmaster of
multiple contests sharing an axis.
and by removing each paragraph pertaining to the award or revocation
of points.
Create a rule titled "Contest Axes" with Power 2 and this text:
Each contest has one or more axes, defaulting to {X}.
An axis can be added to or removed from a contest as follows,
provided that it would not cause a player to be contestmaster
of multiple contests sharing an axis:
a) by any player without 3 objections, or
b) by any mechanism specified by that contest for changing
its axes.
Create a rule titled "Awarding and Revoking Points" with Power 2 and
this text:
For each of a contest's axes, where N is the number of its
parties that were active first-class players at the beginning
of the week:
a) A contest CAN award a total of 5N <axis> points per
week. Its contestmaster CAN award points (up to this
total) to its other parties by announcement, and SHALL
do so as explicitly described in its contract.
b) A contest CAN revoke a total of 2N <axis> points per
week. Its contestmaster CAN revoke such points (up to
this total) from its other parties by announcement, and
SHALL do so as explicitly described in its contract.
Create a rule titled "Rewarding Contestmasters" with Power 2 and this
text:
As soon as possible after the end of a month, for each contest
and each of its axes, the Scorekeepor CAN and SHALL by
announcement award N <axis> points to the player (if any) who
was its contestmaster for at at least 16 days during that month
and performed duties related to that contest in a timely manner
during that month, where N is the number of players who were
contestants of that contest at any time during that month.
Amend Rule 2187 (Win by High Score) by replacing this text:
Upon a win announcement that one or more players have a score of
at least 100 (specifying all such players), all those players
satisfy the Winning Condition of High Score.
Cleanup procedure: All those players have eir scores set to 0.
All other players have eir scores set to floor(N*S/10), where N
is eir previous score and S is the Score Index.
with this text:
Upon a win announcement that one or more players have a score
x + yi such that xy >= 2500 (specifying all such players), all
those players satisfy the Winning Condition of High Score.
Cleanup procedure: All those players have eir scores set to 0.
All other players have each of eir coordinates set to
floor(P*S/10), where P is eir previous coordinate along that
axis and S is the Score Index.
Upon the adoption of this proposal, each player has each of eir <axis>
scores set to eir score immediately before the adoption of this
proposal.
