Proto: An unoriginal proposal (AI=2)
[Voting Credits are back, but now they're liquid and not restricted to
Players, and are used to affect XVLOD-- extra voting limit on ordinary
decisions.]
Create the following Power=2 Rule, titled "Voting Credits":
Voting Credits (VCs) are a class of liquid assets that can be
used to affect voting limits on ordinary proposals. Changes to
VC holdings are secured. Ownership of VCs is restricted to
persons.
Each VC has exactly one color. Colors with different names are
distinct, regardless of spectral proximity. Each color of VC is
a currency. If a person is meant to lose a VC of a color that e
does not possess, then the loss is waived.
The Accountor is the recordkeepor of VCs.
VCs are gained and lost as follows:
(+R) When an interested proposal is adopted, its proposer gains
a number of Red VCs equal to the proposal's adoption index
times its interest index (rounded down to the nearest
integer), minus the number of Red VCs that e has gained in
this way earlier in the same week (down to a minimum of
zero), and each coauthor of the proposal gains one Red VC
unless e gained a VC in this way earlier in the same week.
(-R) When a proposal's voting index is less than half its
adoption index, its proposer loses one Red VC, unless e
lost a VC in this way earlier in the same week.
(+O) When an interested proposal is adopted by voting with no
valid votes AGAINST, its proposer gains one orange VC
unless e gained a VC in this way earlier in the same week.
(-O) When an interested proposal is rejected by voting with no
valid votes FOR (other than possibly from its author), and
having met quorum, its proposer loses one orange VC, unless
e lost a VC in this way earlier in the same week.
(+G) At the end of each month, for each office with a report,
the person (if any) who held that office for the majority
of that month gains two Green VCs (if the office has a
weekly report) or one Green VC (if it has only a monthly
report), unless another person deputised for that office
while that person held that office during that month.
(-G) At the end of each month, for each office, for each person
who has held that office during that month, if another
person deputised for that office while that person held
that office during that month then that person loses one
Green VC.
(+C) When a person deputises for an office e gains one cyan VC,
unless someone previously gained a VC in this manner for
the same office in the same month.
(+B) When a person assigns a judgement to a judicial question
other than a question on sentencing, and has not violated a
requirement to submit that judgement within a time limit, e
gains one blue VC.
(-B) A person who is recused from a judicial case with cause
loses one Blue VC. A person who is the prior judge in an
appeal case where a judgement other than AFFIRM is assigned
to the question on disposition loses one Blue VC.
(+K) When a person assigns a judgement to a judicial question on
sentencing, and has not violated a requirement to submit
that judgement within a time limit, e gains one black VC.
(-K) In a criminal case, when a sentence becomes active for the
first time the defendant loses one black VC.
(+M) When, during Agora's birthday, a person publicly
acknowledges the occasion, e gains one magenta VC, unless e
previously gained a VC in this manner during the same
birthday.
(+U) When a person is awarded the Patent Title Champion, e gains
two ultraviolet VCs.
(+V) When a person is awarded a patent title, e gains one violet
VC, unless e gained a VC in this way earlier in the same
month.
(-V) When a person has a patent title revoked from em, and the
instrument that authorises the revocation does not describe
the revocation as administrative, e loses one violet VC.
(+I) When a person is awarded a patent title that is a degree, e
gains a number of indigo VCs. The number depends on the
rank of the degree: it is two for the lowest rank, four for
the next, and so on increasing by two per rank, up to a
maximum of twelve for the sixth and higher ranks. If the
rank of the degree is not adequately defined to apply this
rule then the number is two.
(+Y) At the end of each month, for each contest that awarded
points to at least three different contestants during that
month, the contestmaster gains one Yellow VC.
VCs may be spent as follows, by announcement (INVALID unless the
color is specified):
a) A person may spend N+1 VCs, each of a color distinct from the
rest, to increase another person's XVLOD by N, where N >= 1.
b) A person may spend N+2 VCs, each of a color distinct from the
rest, to increase eir own XVLOD by N, where N >= 1.
c) A person may spend N+1 VCs, each of a color distinct from the
rest, to decrease another person's XVLOD by N, where N >= 1.
d) A person may spend N+2 VCs, each of a color distinct from the
rest, to multiply another person's XVLOD by (10-N)/10, where
1 <= N <= 10.
Amend Rule 2156 by replacing the last paragraph with:
Extra voting limit on ordinary proposals (XVLOD) is a player
switch whose value is an integer from -3 to 3 (default 0),
tracked by the Assessor. No player's XVLOD CAN become greater
than 3 or less than -3, rules to the contrary notwithstanding.
Changes to XVLOD are secured.
The eligible voters on an ordinary decision are those entities
that were active players at the start of its voting period. The
voting limit of an eligible voter on an ordinary decision is the
sum of the values of eir caste and eir XVLOD, measured at the
start of its voting period, or half that (rounded up) if the
voter was in the chokey at that time.
