Proto-Proposal: Complex scoring
(AI = 2, please)
Amend Rule 2179 (Points) to read:
For each point axis:
a) <axis> Points is a fixed currency.
b) A player's <axis> coordinate is the number of <axis> points
e owns.
There are two point axes, X and Y. A player's score is x + iy,
where x is eir X coordinate and y is eir Y coordinate.
Ownership of points is restricted to players. If winning is
secured, then changes to point holdings are secured with the
same power threshold.
The Scorekeepor is a high-priority office, and the recordkeepor
of points.
Amend Rule 2136 (Contests) by replacing this text:
The total number of points a Contest MAY award in a given week
is equal to 5 times the number of its members that are first-
class players. Points up to this total CAN be awarded by the
contestmaster to other members by public announcement, and MUST
be awarded as explicitly described in the contract.
The total number of points a Contest MAY revoke in a given week
is equal to 2 times the number of its members that are first-
class players. Points up to this total CAN be revoked by the
contestmaster from other members by public announcement, and
MUST be revoked as explicitly described in the contract.
For each contest, ASAP after the beginning of each month, the
Scorekeepor CAN and SHALL by announcement award a number of
points, equal to the number of Players who were Contestants in
that Contest at any time during the previous month, to the
Player (if any) who was its Contestmaster for 16 or more days
during the previous month, provided that the Contestmaster
performed Contest-related duties in a timely manner during that
time.

For each contest, ASAP after the beginning of each month, the
Scorekeepor CAN and SHALL by announcement award a number of
points (choosing exactly one axis per contest), equal to the
number of Players who were Contestants in that Contest at any
time during the previous month, to the Player (if any) who was
its Contestmaster for 16 or more days during the previous month,
provided that the Contestmaster performed Contest-related duties
in a timely manner during that time.
Amend Rule 2187 (Win by High Score) by replacing this text:
Upon a win announcement that one or more players have a score of
at least 100 (specifying all such players), all those players
satisfy the Winning Condition of High Score.
Cleanup procedure: All those players have eir scores set to 0.
All other players have eir scores set to floor(N*S/10), where N
is eir previous score and S is the Score Index.
with this text:
Upon a win announcement that one or more players have a score
whose absolute value is at least 100 (specifying all such
players), all those players satisfy the Winning Condition of
High Score.
Cleanup procedure: All those players have eir scores set to 0.
All other players have each of eir coordinates set to
floor(P*S/10), where P is eir previous coordinate along that
axis and S is the Score Index.
Create a new rule titled "Fractal Score Progression" with Power 2 and
this text:
At the end of each week, for each player with non-real score,
each of eir coordinates is set to the corresponding coordinate
of P^2 + S (where P is eir previous score and S is the Score
Index) rounded down to the nearest integer.
Upon the adoption of this proposal, each player's score is set to
sqrt(-P), where P is eir score immediately before the adoption of
this proposal.
