Instead of choosing between AP and Shinies, players can create CFJs and Pend proposals and automatically create Debts. As proposed, there's no upper limit on Debts. The downsides of debts are being locked out of stamps and auctions, and I'd add the agoraculture mechanism if that passes. This proposal also encourages (but doesn't require) the Arbitor and Promotor to note the Debts involved with their offices for convenience.
Title: Debts Author: nichdel Co-authors: o, grok, aris AI: 3 Enact a new, power-2 rule titled "Debts" Debts are a fixed, indestructible currency. The Secretary is the recordkeepor of debts. If a rule specifies something can be done by 'accruing x Debt' then a player CAN do the specified action by increasing eir Debt balance by x. A player CAN, by announcement, pay Agora a specified number of shinies to decrease eir Debts balance by the same number. Any attempt to decrease any Debts balance past 0 is INEFFECTIVE. Repeal "Action Points" Amend R991 "Calls for Judgement" to read, in full: Any person (the initiator) can initiate a Call for Judgement (CFJ, syn. Judicial Case), specifying a statement to be inquired into by either paying the CFJ Fee in shinies or by accruing the same amount of debt. If neither method is specified, the initiator does the latter. The CFJ Fee is N/5 * 1/20th the Floating Value, where N is the number of CFJs the initiator has already initiated in the same Agoran Week. If a person is not a player, e can initiate a CFJ without paying shinies or increasing eir Debts balance. When a person initiates a Call for Judgement, e may optionally bar one person from the case. At any time, each CFJ is either open (default), suspended, or assigned exactly one judgement. The Arbitor is an office, responsible for the administration of justice in a manner that is fair for emself, if not for the rest of Agora. When a CFJ has no judge assigned, the Arbitor CAN assign any player to be its judge by announcement, and SHALL do so within a week. The players eligible to be assigned as judge are all players except the initiator and the person barred (if any). The Arbitor SHALL assign judges over time such that all interested players have reasonably equal opportunities to judge. If a CFJ has no judge assigned, then any player eligible to judge that CFJ CAN assign it to emself Without 3 Objections. When the Arbitor assigns a CFJ a judge, e SHOULD note the Debts accrued, if any, when the CFJ was initiated. Amend "Economic Wins" by replacing: While a player has Stamps made by at least 10 different players e MAY destroy 10 stamps made by 10 different players by announcement to win the game. with: While a player has Stamps made by at least 10 different players and eir Debts balance is 0, e MAY destroy 10 stamps e owns made by 10 different players by announcement to win the game. and replacing: Once per month, a player MAY, by announcement, transfer to Agora the Stamp Value, in shinies, to create a Stamp. with: Once per month, any player whose Debts balance is 0 MAY, by announcement, transfer to Agora the Stamp Value, in shinies, to create a Stamp. Amend "Estates Auctions" by replacing: During an auction, any player or organization may bid any number of Shinies by announcement. with: During an auction, any player whose Debts balance is 0 or any organization may bid any number of Shinies by announcement. Amend "Rewards" by replacing: Below is an exhaustive list of Reward Conditions and eir rewards: * The following two only apply to proposals that were pended via spending shinies: - Being the author of an adopted proposal: 1/40th the current Floating Value. - Being the pender of an adopted proposal: 1/40th the current Floating Value. * Judging a CFJ, that was created via spending shinies, that e was assigned to: 1/20th the current Floating Value. * Publishing a duty-fulfilling report: 5 shinies. * Resolving an Agoran Decision for the first time this week: 5 shinies. with: Below is an exhaustive list of Reward Conditions and eir rewards: * Being the author of an adopted proposal: 1/40th the current Floating Value. * Being the pender of an adopted proposal: 1/40th the current Floating Value. * Judging a CFJ that e was assigned to: 1/20th the current Floating Value. * Publishing a duty-fulfilling report: 5 shinies. * Resolving an Agoran Decision for the first time this week: 5 shinies. Amend R2445 "How to Pend a Proposal" to read, in full: Imminence is a switch, tracked by the Promotor, possessed by proposals in the Proposal Pool, whose value is either "pending" or "not pending" (default). Any player CAN flip a specified proposal's imminence to "pending" by announcement by paying Agora 1/20th the Floating Value or by accruing the same amount of Debt. If neither method is specified, that player does the latter. Amend R1607 "Distribution" by, after the paragraph starting with "In a given Agoran week", adding: When the Promotor distributes a proposal, e SHOULD note the Debts accrued, if any, when the proposal was pended.
