[Note which I request the Speaker to include: At this point the best strategy to win is obviously to avoid controversial proposals, and I suspect this might make me lose, but I like this idea enough that I'm proposing it anyway. Basically, after a winner is determined on the anniversary, allow asymptotically faster play to continue through the rest of Agora's Birthday, with a second winner if a paradox occurs or none otherwise. This does preclude the possibility of continuing this nomic next year, which I dislike: I would rather start a new nomic each time, because it should be okay to make further play impossible, because the whole idea is to start from a clean slate, and because I wouldn't mind changing up the initial ruleset each time, though that last is a separate matter to debate.]
I propose that a rule be enacted: Upon the adoption of this rule, the following rule changes occur sequentially: - Rule 326 is amended to read: On 30 June 2013 00:04:30 +1200, the Voter with the most points shall win. In case of a tie, all such Voters shall win simultaneously. This does not cause the game to end. - Rule 333 is amended by appending: After 30 June 2013, 00:04:30 +1200, the previous clause does not apply; instead, a proposal's prescribed voting period begins when it is submitted. - Rule 207 is amended by appending: After 30 June 2013, 00:04:30 +1200, the previous method of voting does not apply; instead, votes must be sent to the mailing list. - each rule containing the text "24 hours" is amended by replacing "24 hours" with "one cycle length" or "cycle length", whichever is grammatically correct; - a rule is enacted reading: The cycle length is initially 24 hours. On 30 June 2013, 00:00:00 +1200, and thereafter once the cycle length has passed since the last reduction, the cycle length is reduced to half of its previous value. On 31 June 2013, 00:00:00 +1200, the game ends. Rules purporting to set deadlines in terms of the cycle length refer to the cycle length at the time of imposition of the deadline. When the cycle length is less than 24 hours, the Speaker may, but need not, perform eir normal duties. - and this rule is repealed.
