Greetor hasn't been repealed yet, so... Welcome to the Agoran community! http://agoranomic.org/ offers a good set of initial pointers, here are a few additions/corrections: * By social convention, all your actions should be performed in agora-business, unless you're an officer (in which case your reports and other duties go to agora-official) or the main lists malfunction (in which case use one or both backup lists). a-o and a-b redirect replies to agora-discussion by default, remember to change this if your reply contains any actions. * Serving as an officer is voluntary (you must accept your nomination unless you're the incumbent), likewise serving as a judge (you must change your posture away from supine). You can get a proposal (typically including one or more rule changes) distributed (to be voted on) by playing a Distrib-u-Matic card, or Without Objection (typically reserved for obviously-needed bug fixes). If your proposal would touch any rules with Power > 1, then you should request an Adoption Index at least as high as the highest such value. Proposals with AI >= 2 are Democratic (basically one vote per player), others are Ordinary by default (voting power depends on caste and can be further altered on a per-proposal basis). Rule 2152 specifies words to declare something impossible, possible-but-penalized, or formally-discouraged. * Large portions of gameplay are regulated by voluntary contracts. Large portions of the economy are tracked near-real-time at http://nomic.bob-space.com/agoralog.aspx (whereas reports sent to the mailing lists are typically weekly at best). * http://zenith.homelinux.net/acronyms/ explains many abbreviations. * There are several ways to win; the game keeps going, with only a directly-relevant portion of the gamestate being reset. Please let us know what additional questions you have.
