this seems fun so i'm going to try it. I intend, with 24 hours' notice, to create the organization Agoran Estate Bloc and flip its Charter switch to the following:
Agoran Estate Bloc (AEB) ==BOILERPLATE== An amendment to this Organization is Appropriate if intent to perform it was announced between 4 and 14 days ago, and there are not two objections or or one objection from the acting CEO. All actions described by this Charter and pertaining to Organizations are limited in scope to this Organization. All references of "AEB" in this document refer to Agoran Estate Bloc. All instances of "member" in this document refer to members of AEB. Any player may become a member of AEB by setting eir budget switch for the pair of em and AEB to 25. Any player may leave AEB by setting eir budget switch for the pair of em and AEB to 0. All actions taken in this charter MUST be performed publicly unless otherwise stated. Actions using powers vested by this charter that are not announced publicly may be ineffective. ==LEADERSHIP== The CEO switch is a switch managed by AEB and tracked by the acting CEO with valid values of the names of all members and 0, and default value 0. When AEB is created, the CEO switch is flipped to "grok". The Interim CEO switch is a switch managed by AEB and tracked by the acting CEO with valid values of the names of all members and 0, and default value 0. At the beginning of the second week of each month, the acting CEO SHALL initiate an AEB Board Election with a voting period of at least 4 days and no longer than 7 days. All members in Good Standing or on Official Warning at the calling of each AEB Board Election are eligible voters and valid selections for that AEB Board Election. At the end of each AEB Board Election, if there is a clear winner, the winner of the AEB Board Election SHALL flip the CEO switch to eir own name. In the event of a tie, the acting CEO SHALL initiate an AEB Instant Run-Off Election immediately, with a voting period of at least 4 days and no longer than 7 days. The set of valid voting selections is equal to the set of players who recieved the most votes in the most recent AEB Board Election, and all members in Good Standing or on Official Warning are eligible votesr. If an AEB Instant Run-Off Election is held and there is a clear winner, the winner of the AEB Instant Run-Off Election SHALL flip the CEO switch to eir own name. If there is no clear winner following an AEB Instant Run-Off Election and the CEO switch is not set to 0, the current CEO remains the CEO until the results of the next AEB Board Election are assessed. The acting CEO is the assessor for all AEB voting procedure. At the beginning of the second week of each Agoran month, the acting CEO SHALL report on the status of every switch created by AEB's charter. The acting CEO is ENCOURAGED to provide this report in the same message in which e initiates an AEB Board Election. ==STANDING AND FUNDING== Standing is a set of switches belonging to (AEB, Member) pairs with a default value of Good Standing and legal values of the set [Good Standing,Official Warning,Suspended,Idle]. All Standing switches are tracked by the acting CEO. At the beginning of each Agoran month, each member MAY pay five shinies to AEB in a timely manner. If a member does, e may flip the Standing switch for the pair of emself and AEB to Good Standing if it is not already set to Good Standing and eir Standing switch may not be flipped again this month. At the beginning of each Agoran month, if a member's Standing switch is set to Good Standing and that player does not pay five shinies to AEB in a timely manner, any member MAY flip the Standing switch for the pair of the offending player and AEB to Official Warning. At the beginning of each Agoran month, if a member's Standing switch is set to Official Warning and that player does not pay five shinies to AEB in a timely manner, any member MAY flip the Standing switch for the pair of the offending player and AEB to to Suspended. If the Standing switch for the pair of a member and AEB is set to Suspended, that player may pay ten shinies to AEB at any time. If e does, e MAY flip the Standing switch for the pair of emself and AEB to Good Standing. If a member did not vote on the last Agoran Decision, the acting CEO may flip the Standing switch for the pair of that member and AEB to Idle. The next time that player votes on an Agoran Decision, e may Invoke AEB Privilege and pledge not to change eir vote on a specific voting matter. If e does, the CEO may flip the Standing switch for the pair of that player and AEB to the value it had before it was most recently set to Idle. A player's Standing switch may only be flipped once per month unless it is flipped by a Suspended player paying ten shinies to AEB. ==EXPULSION== Expulsion is a set of switches belonging to (AEB, Player) pairs with a default value of 0 and legal values of the set [0,Expelled]. All Expulsion switches are tracked by the acting CEO. If a player breaks a pledge which Invokes AEB Privilege while e is a member, the acting CEO MAY initiate a vote to place that player into Expulsion, with Consent among members that are not named in the voting issue. This action may be taken up to one month after the pledge is broken. If the motion passes, the acting CEO MAY flip the Expulsion switch for the pair of the named player and AEB to Expelled. If a player violates a SHALL NOT outlined in this charter while e is a member, the acting CEO MAY initiate a vote to place that player into Expulsion, with Consent among members in Good Standing or on Official Warning that are not named in the voting issue. This action may be taken up to one month after the SHALL NOT is violated. If the motion passes, the acting CEO MAY flip the Expulsion switch for the pair of the named player and AEB to Expelled. At any time, the CEO MAY announce intent to flip a player's Expulsion switch to Expelled Without Objection from members excluding the player named in the intent. If there is no objection, the acting CEO MAY flip the Expulsion switch for the pair of the named player and AEB to Expelled. If a player sets eir income switch to 0 while e is in possession of one or more estates that belonged to AEB more recently than they last belonged to Agora, any player may flip the offending player's Expulsion switch to Expelled. If a player's Standing switch has been set to Suspended for six months or more, the acting CEO MAY flip the Expulsion switch for the pair of that suspended player and AEB to Expelled. An Expelled player cannot vote on AEB issues, become CEO, or perform amendments to AEB's charter. If the Standing switch for the pair of a member and AEB is set to Expelled, that player may transfer an Estate to AEB at any time to flip the Standing switch for the pair of emself and AEB to Good Standing. If a player's Expulsion switch has been set to Expelled for six months or greater, the acting CEO MAY initiate a vote to flip that player's Expulsion switch to 0 with Consent from members in Good Standing or on Official Warning. If the motion passes, the acting CEO MAY flip that player's Expulsion switch to 0. ==INTERIM LEADERSHIP== If the CEO is Expelled or Suspended, or if the CEO and Interim CEO switches are both set to 0, a member may deputise to become Interim CEO by flipping the Interim CEO switch to eir own name. As long as the CEO switch is set to 0, the Interim CEO is considered the acting CEO for all of the acting CEO's duties and vested powers. As long as the CEO is Expelled or Suspended, the Interim CEO MAY flip the CEO switch to 0. Whenever the CEO switch is set to a legal value that is not 0, if there is an Interim CEO, the CEO SHALL flip the Interim CEO switch to 0. If a player has ever been the CEO and that player's Expulsion switch is flipped to Expelled, that player's Expulsion switch CANNOT be flipped from Expelled to 0. If the CEO switch and Interim CEO switch are both set to 0, the player with the highest AEB Budget switch may flip the Interim CEO switch to eir own name. ==ESTATES== Whenever the Surveyor puts an estate up for auction, the CEO SHALL make at least one bid on that auction on AEB's behalf, using any number of shinies held by AEB. The CEO may make additional bids on AEB's behalf, but SHALL NOT use shinies other than those owned by AEB. If a bid on AEB's behalf is the winning bid, the Estate SHALL be transferred to AEB. Estates SHALL NOT be transferred from AEB to a player unless otherwise stated by AEB's charter. Whenever a member places a vote, e may pledge to Invoke AEB Privilege and not change eir vote on one or more specific voting matters. The CEO may transfer any number of estates from AEB to emself without objection among members in Good Standing if the following conditions are all met: - All members who are not Suspended, Expelled, or Idle have voted on one voting issue. - All players who voted this way have voted for the same legal voting option or have endorsed a member who has unambiguously voted for the same legal option. - All players who have voted this way have made an announcement Invoking AEB Privilege and pledging not to change eir vote on the unanimous voting issue. If the CEO transfers one or more estates from AEB to emself, the CEO SHALL use all estates transferred this way to increase eir voting strength on an issue which meets the conditions which allowed the CEO to transfer one or more estates to emself in the same message in which e transferred one or more estates from AEB to emself.
