I submit the following proto-proposal for comments:
Create a new rule:
{
Currency
AI: 1 (Ordinary)
There shall exist a type of entity known as a Currency Owning Entity
(hereafter COE). Every COE has a value Currency. This is a non-negative
integer value. One unit of Currency is known as an Agoran Dollar. An amount
of Currency can be represented using the dollar sign ($). Fractional values
of Currency shall be rounded to the nearest Integer.
Currency is owned by the COE who possesses it. A COE may transfer Currency
they own to another COE freely by making an announcement to the Public
Forum. When a COE is instructed to pay Currency or Agoran Dollars to another
COE, the specified amount of Currency is deducted from eir total and added
to the other COE's total.
Currency is regulated by the rules and may not be created or destroyed by
any means except through a proposal with an Acceptability Index equal to or
higher than this rule's power.
Every Player of Agora is a COE.
Whenever a Player registers, Currency shall be created in the amount of
$1,000 and given to em. When a Player de-registers, any Currency they
possess shall be destroyed.
}
When this proposal passes, $1,000 shall be created and given to each
registered Player.
NOTES:
As Partnerships and Corporations are typically for-profit entities, it seems
it might be interesting to provide them with a means to earn profit. This
proposal does not give currency any function, although this can be created
through future rules. My main goal here is to create a finite and limited
resource that Players can possess.
