I cause Bernie to submit the following proposals:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Interesting Chambers v3.1
AI: 3.0
Author: Bernie
Co-authors: Trigon, Aris, Gaelan, G., Jason Cobb, twg
Enact a new Rule of Power 2.0, entitled "Ministries", with the following
text:
A Ministry is an entity defined as such by this rule. Each
Ministry has a goal. The Ministries of Agora, and their goals, are
as follows:
A. Ministry of Justice: serve justice to rulebreakers
B. Ministry of Efficiency: see official duties performed swiftly
C. Ministry of Legislation: see votes cast on proposals
D. Ministry of Participation: reward players for achievements
E. Ministry of Economy: encourage economic activity and contracts
Interest is an office switch, tracked by the ADoP, whose possible
values are lists of ministries, defaulting to the empty list. The
ADoP CAN flip an office's interest without objection.
For each item of each office's interest, that office's holder's
voting strength is increased by 2 on proposals whose chamber is
set to that ministry.
Enact a new Rule of Power 2.0, entitled "Proposal Classes", with the
following text:
Proposals created since the enactment of this rule have an
untracked Class switch with possible values ordinary (the default)
and democratic.
When a proposal with an adoption index greater than 2.0 is
created, its class becomes democratic.
Any player CAN, with 2 Agoran consent, flip an ordinary proposal's
class to democratic, provided that it is in the Proposal Pool or
that there is an Agoran decision on its adoption whose voting
period has not yet ended.
Enact a new Rule of Power 2.0, entitled "Proposal Chambers", with the
following text:
Chamber is an untracked ordinary proposal switch whose possible
values include unset (the default) and each of the ministries of
Agora.
A proposal's chamber SHOULD only be decided by which ministry's
goals it effects to the greatest degree.
Any player CAN, with 2 Agoran consent, flip the chamber of an
ordinary proposal to any ministry, provided that it is in the
Proposal Pool or that there is an Agoran decision on its adoption
whose voting period has not yet ended.
Amend Rule 1607, "Distribution", by changing "the text, author, and
coauthors of the proposal" to "the text, author, coauthors, class and
(if applicable) chamber of the proposal".
Amend Rule 2350, "Proposals", by adding the following to the list:
* A chamber to which the proposal shall be assigned upon its
creation.
Amend Rule 2422, "Voting Strength", by changing "between 0 and 5" to
"between 0 and 15".
// Move the PM's casting vote to the Speaker, since the PM already gets
// all ministries:
Amend Rule 2423, "First Among Equals", by removing the second paragraph.
Amend Rule 103, "The Speaker", by changing "For an election of the Prime
Minister, the Speaker" to "The Speaker".
Set the ADoP's Interest to [Efficiency].
Set the Arbitor's Interest to [Justice].
Set the Assessor's Interest to [Efficiency, Legislation].
Set the Herald's Interest to [Participation].
Set the Prime Minister's Interest to [Justice, Efficiency, Legislation,
Participation, Economy].
Set the Promotor's Interest to [Legislation].
Set the Referee's Interest to [Justice].
Set the Registrar's Interest to [Efficiency].
Set the Rulekeepor's Interest to [Legislation, Participation].
Set the Tailor's Interest to [Participation].
Set the Treasuror's Interest to [Economy, Economy].
// Some of the above have been slightly rejigged given the new
// definition of Participation
/* Treasuror is given Economy twice for balance reasons:
* - It is a high-complexity office (was given Complexity=3 under
* Politics), like Assessor and Rulekeepor; this makes the power
* commensurate to the importance, and there is no ministry it really
* fits under besides Economy
* - It bumps up the number of voting increases issued for Economy
* proposals; all other ministries have 2-3 excluding the PM.
* Not just trying to give myself votes, I swear :P

Title: Self-Ratification Simplification Act
Adoption index: 3.0
Authors: Bernie
Co-authors: twg
/* I don't recall any instances in modern times where a CFJ has been
* used to explicitly doubt a document, and the behaviour is
* replicable by citations anyway. So let's get rid of it, as it makes
* R2201 significantly longer and also gives it two lists with the
* same numbering scheme (always a headache).
* This also clarifies that non-players are able to issue CoEs - this
* was already possible (and may be useful as a protection against
* accidental deregistrations from incorrect Registrar reports) but
* was a bit non-obvious.
*/
Amend Rule 2201, "Self-Ratification", by replacing its text from
"A doubt is" to "cites the claim of error:" (inclusive) with the
following:
Any person CAN by announcement issue a doubt (syn. claim of
error), identifying a document and explaining the scope and nature
of a perceived error in it (or in a statement it attests to).
When this happens, the publisher of the original document SHALL
(if e was required to publish that document) or SHOULD (otherwise)
do one of the following in a timely fashion, in an announcement
that clearly cites the claim of error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Authorial Intent
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Bernie
Co-authors: twg
// Not actually expecting this to pass, at least not on first reading,
// but hopefully it will provoke some discussion.
Amend Rule 217, "Interpreting the Rules", by inserting "authorial
intent," after "past judgements,".
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Rewards Reform Act
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Bernie
Co-authors: twg, Alexis
/* 1. Changes rewards to be issued by relevant officers (mostly ADoP,
* Arbitor) in their weekly reports, instead of calculated and
* claimed by individual players themselves.
* 2. Effectively converts Glitter into a reward issued by the Tailor.
* (Players must still claim their Glitter by announcement, but the
* Tailor calculates the coin amounts and awards them all in
* weekly batches.)
* 3. Makes all Ribbons (except White, Gray, Black) eligible for
* Glitter.
*/
Amend Rule 2496 ("Rewards") as follows:
Replace its first two paragraphs with the following:
Each time a player fulfills a reward condition, the officer
associated with the condition CAN once, and SHALL before the end
of the next Agoran week, grant the associated set of assets to the
player.
Below is a list of reward conditions and their associated assets
and officers.
Append "(Assessor)" to the first list item.
Append "(Arbitor)" to the second list item.
Append "(ADoP)" to the third list item.
Append "(ADoP)" to the fourth list item.
Append "(Herald)" to the fifth list item.
Amend Rule 2438 ("Ribbons") as follows:
Replace the paragraph starting "While a person qualifies..." with
the following:
A person qualifies for a type of Ribbon if e has earned that type
of Ribbon within the preceding 7 days (including earlier in the
same message).
[Removed the Gray and Transparent rephrasings as they were
unnecessarily confusing and had minimal effect.]
Move the list item starting "Emerald" so that it falls between the
list items starting "Green" and "Cyan". [This was bothering me.]
Append the following:
While a person qualifies for a type of Ribbon:
- If e has not owned that type of Ribbon within the preceding 7
days, any player CAN, by announcement, award em that type of
Ribbon.
- Otherwise, if e has not been awarded that type of Ribbon or
the corresponding type of Glitter since e last earned or
came to qualify for that type of Ribbon, e CAN, by
announcement, award emself that type of Glitter.
Amend Rule 2602 ("Glitter") to read:
For each type of Ribbon, there is a type of Glitter with the same
name. An attempt to award Glitter is INEFFECTIVE if the type of
Glitter is not specified.
Each time a player is awarded a type of Glitter, the Tailor CAN
once, and SHALL before the end of the next Agoran week, grant the
player N+1 coins, where N is the number of players who did not
own the corresponding type of Ribbon at the time of the award.
[If the mechanics of the change are approved, R2602 could later be
further simplified by merging the first para into 2438 and the
second into R2496]
