[We were expecting at least a few players to be in these bands, but
currently, none are. This proposal fixes that by lowering the threshold
to something more consistent with our experience.]

"- Any player with a karma of 7 or greater is a Samurai.
- Any player with a karma of -7 or less is an Gamma."

Title: Patent Diversity
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: G.
Co-authors:
// MAIN IDEA: Let different officers award specifically-relevant titles.
// Having specific goals may better promote their use than an
// open-ended "the Herald can award anything" (which e still
// would be able to do).
//
// Also, turn the Silver Quill concept into a broader set of
// annual awards.
// Ideas for awards very welcome! Especially for not-currently included
// offices (Treasuror, Cartographer, PM, Distributor). But also, if
// some of these titles seem like trivial clutter, please critique.
// Titles themselves are a mix of some old, some new.

Officers with 2 Agoran Consent. In order to balance the history,

quickly after any such intents are announced.

- Bard, by Speaker the award should given be, to persons who
publish repeated creative wit or poetry.
- Necromancer, awardable by the Registrar to any player who makes
such sufficient persistent legal use of zombies that rules need
to be amended to prevent such practices.

for win-win outcomes for the benefit of multiple players.

that office who puts substantial labor into aiding in the duties
of that office, without consideration of any other reward they
might receive.

especially if the potential awardee is the officer emself.
