I don't think we need a surveryor mechanically, so this is fine. Though we should probably have one just to make things easier. Someone could just step up and declare themselves the surveyor, and post the rest of the reports, or we could split the effort. I'll just make it so surveyor can be assumed by announcement (and thus its responsibilities). I intend, without objection, to ratify the following document, which contains incorrect information, in order to fix the commune tournament: {{{ On Wednesday, April 19th, 2023, at 20:28:35 UTC, there existed only one tournament, "Commune 2023", which had the following set of regulations: { Regulation FT0/0 Commune 2023 Name: Commune v1.3 Description =========== This tournament is a self-contained game inspired by Acquire where players build communities on a board, invest in those communities, and gain rewards when communities they invested in are absorbed by other communities. Playing ======= Any player CAN become a participant of this Tournament at any time during its play by announcement. Any participant CAN cease to be so by announcement. A participant of this tournament ceases to be so when e becomes inactive in Agora. When a person ceases to be a participant, all assets e owns defined by this Tournament are destroyed. The Surveyor is initially the Gamemaster for this tournament. Any player CAN become the Surveyor by announcement. Gaining Tokens ============== A Token is an asset ownable by participants only. Tokens CANNOT be transferred or destroyed except as otherwise allowed by this Tournament. Each Token has a corresponding Symbol which can be any English letter A-J or any integer 0-9. Tokens owned by the same player with the same Symbol are fungible. Each participant has a Left, Middle, and a Right Token Constructor. By default, Token Constructors are set to construct nothing. For each of eir Token Constructors, players CAN once a week do one of the following by announcement: - Begin Constructing a Token with a specified Symbol. - Grant emself the Token that the Token Constructor is already constructing (if not set to nothing). The playboard ============= The playboard is a grid of size 10 x 10. The x coordinates of the playboard are identified by English letters A-J, and the Y coordinates of the playboard are identified by integers [0-9]. Adjacency is defined by being at the same cordinate on one axis, and exactly one coordinate away on the other axis. An example visualization of the initial playboard is below: A B C D E F G H I J +-------------------+ 0|x x x x x x x x x x|0 1|x x x x x x x x x x|1 2|x x x x x x x x x x|2 3|x x x x x x x x x x|3 4|x x x x x x x x x x|4 5|x x x x x x x x x x|5 6|x x x x x x x x x x|6 7|x x x x x x x x x x|7 8|x x x x x x x x x x|7 9|x x x x x x x x x x|9 +-------------------+ A B C D E F G H I J Placing Tiles and Founding Communities ====================================== If a tile has not been placed on a location on the board, it is empty. Participants CAN place a tile on an empty location by paying one letter token and one number token that correspond to that location's coordinates. If a tile is placed that is not adjacent to any tiles belonging to any communities, the player that placed it founds a new community, e is granted 1 investment for that community, and e becomes its founder. The placed tile then begins belonging to the newly founded community. E CAN and SHOULD name the community after any color that starts with a different first letter than any existing community by announcement. If a community has not been named, the Surveyor CAN and SHALL do so by announcement. A player who is the founder of an existing community CANNOT place a tile that would found a new community. If a tile is placed adjacent to one or more tiles belonging to a single community, that tile belongs to that community. If a tile is placed adjacent to two or more tiles belonging to different communities, a merger happens. When a merger happens, if a single community involved in the merger has more tiles than each other community, that community is the acquiring community. If there is a tie, the tied community that gained a tile least recently is the acquiring community. The other communities are the acquired communities. All tiles belonging to the acquired communities cease to belong to them and begin to belong to the acquiring community, and then the placed tile begins to belong to the acquiring community. Each player gains X (rounded down) Accolades for each acquired community e had an investment in, where X is the total tiles that belonged to that community immediately before the merger divided by the total number of investments that exist for that community and times the number of investments for that community that player owns. The acquired communities and all investments in all acquired communities are destroyed. Investments =========== An Investment is an asset. Investments CANNOT be transferred or destroyed except as otherwise allowed by this tournament. Each Investment corresponds with a Community. The investment limit is the current number of communities. Once per week a participant with less investments than the investment limit CAN grant emself an investment in any specified community by announcement. Participants CANNOT gain an investment when they are at the investment limit. Trading ======= A participant can make a Trade Offer by announcement, specifying a token e owns, a set of symbols e wants, and, optionally, a set of participants allowed to accept the offer (defaulting to all participants if not specified). If a participant ceases to have any tokens matching a Trade Offer e made, the trade offer is withdrawn. Any participant can withdraw any trade offer e has made at any time by announcement. If a participant is in the set of participants allowed by a non-withdrawn trade offer and has a token matching the wanted set, e CAN accept that offer by announcement and specifying the corresponding token. When e does so, the token specified in the Offer is transferred to em, and the token e specified is transferred to the participant that made the trade offer. Tracking ======== The Surveyor SHALL once a week publish an updated playboard, a list of all participants and all eir assets defined by this tournament, and a list of all communities and their number of tiles. E SHOULD include a history of moves made by players as well. Ending and Winning ================== Accolades are a currency. Accolades CANNOT be transferred or destroyed except as otherwise allowed by this tournament. When more than 50 of the tiles belong to a single community, the tournament ends. If it has been 3 months since the tournament started, the tournament ends. Immediately before the tournament ends, the participant with the greatest number of accolades wins. Clean-Up ======== If any asset defined by this tournament would ever belong to Agora, a deregistered person, a deactivated player, the L&FD, or be in abeyance, it is instead destroyed. } }}} -- snail
