I resolve the Agoran Decisions to adopt each of Proposals 8143, 8144,
8145 and 8142, in that order, as follows. I'll do 8139-8141 after lunch.

(I know this is a controversial use of Assessor powers, but if you will
keep voting for proposals about rewards for proposals...)

Doing this to personally gain an advantage may be controversial, but doing it in a manner that ends up completely undoing the effect of proposal 8144 is just plain rude.

Re-enact Rule 2533, "Political Parties" (Power=2.0), with the
following text:

 There are 5 Parties, in order:

 - Platonic Isolationists
 - New Punchbowl Reformers
 - Costume Conservatives
 - Substance Use Liberals
 - Official Raving Monster Looney Party

 Politicians are entities; each Politician has a name and an
 associated Party. Politicians exist only as specified by the
 rules. Creating, altering, or destroying Politicians is secured.

 If there are ever fewer than 20 Politicians, then the Clork CAN by
 announcement and SHALL in a timely fashion create a new Politician,
 specifying eir Party and name. The Party must be selected at random
 from:

 - The set of Parties with the lowest number of Politicians if any
   Party has fewer than 3;
 - Otherwise, the set of Parties with fewer than 5 Politicians.

Re-enact Rule 2534, "Clork" (Power=2.0), with the following text:

 The Clork is an office. The Clork's weekly report includes:
 - a list of all Politicans with their names and Parties.
 - the assignment of Policies to Parties.

Re-enact Rule 2535, "Echelon Forms" (Power=2.0), with the following
text:

 Posts are entities. Holder is a Post switch, tracked by the Clork,
 with possible values all Politicians and none (default). No
 Politician can hold more than one Post at a time. Each Post is in
 an Echelon, which has an associated Rank. The Echelons, and their
 Posts and Ranks, are as follows:

 Chamber of Power (Rank 5):
 - Host
 Upper Echelon (Rank 3):
 - Planner
 - Enforcer
 - Organizer
 - Creep
 Row Echelon (Rank 1):
 - Schmoozer
 - Decorator
 - Loner
 - Drunk
 - Mystery
 - Wild One
 - Hat Rack

 Each Politician who holds a Post is in the Echelon of that post;
 other Politicians are in the Row-Reduced Echelon, which has Rank
 0. Likewise, the Rank of a Post or Politician is the Rank of their
 Echelon.

 If a rule provides that a Post can take an action, then the
 Advisor of the holder of that Post CAN take that action. If there
 is no such player, and the Post is required to take that action,
 then the Clork CAN do it prior to any deadline for its
 performance. After a deadline for a Post to perform an action, any
 player CAN take it.

Re-enact Rule 2536, "Taken Under Advisement" (Power=2.0), with the
following text:

 Advisor is a Politician switch, tracked by the Clork, with
 possible values all players and none (default). For each
 Politician, Influence over <Politician> is a natural player
 switch, tracked by the Clork.

 A player CAN, by announcement, spend Favours in a Politician's
 Party to gain Influence over that Politician, depending on the
 Politician's Echelon:
 - Chamber of Power: 3 Favours for 2 Influence
 - Upper Echelon: 1 Favour for 1 Influence
 - Row Echelon: 2 Favours for 3 Influence
 - Row-Reduced Echelon: 1 Favour for 2 Influence

 If a player has more Influence over a given Politician than any
 other player, e can Advise that Politican by announcement. When e
 does so, if no other player Advises the same Politician later in
 the same Agoran week, then at the start of the next Agoran week,
 that player becomes that Politician's Advisor.

Re-enact Rule 2537, "Balloons" (Power=2.0), with the following text:

 Balloons are a fixed currency, tracked by the Clork, with
 ownership restricted to players. Creation or destruction of
 balloons is secured.

 At the start of each Agoran week, after Advisors are flipped:
 - For each player, if e owns more Balloons than e was awarded by
   this procedure at the start of the previous week, any excess
   Balloons are destroyed.
 - Each player is awarded Balloons equal to the sum of the Ranks of
   the Politicians for which e is Advisor.
 - The Decorator's Advisor, if any is awarded one additional
   Balloon.

 A player CAN, by announcement, spend a Balloon e owns to increase
 eir voting strength on a specified Agoran Decision, other than one
 with an adoption index of 3 or higher, by 1.

 A player CAN, by announcement, spend Balloons equal to the sum of
 the Ranks of all Posts in order to win the game. Upon doing so,
 all eir Influence switches are set to 0.

Re-enact Rule 2538, "Party Favours" (Power=2.0), with the following
text:

 For each Party, there is a currency called Favours in that Party.
 Ownership of Favours is tracked by the Clork. Ownership of Favours
 is restricted to players.

 A player CAN, by announcement, spend 3 Favours in a single Party
 to award another player 2 Favours in that Party.

 A player CAN, by announcement, spend 3 Favours in a single Party
 to gain a Favour in another specified Party.

Re-enact Rule 2539, "Retirement" (Power=2.0), with the following
text:

 Stress Level is a natural Politician switch, tracked by the Clork.
 At the start of each Agoran week, each Politician's Stress Level
 is increased by eir Rank. If, after this procedure, a Politician's
 Stress Level is 20 or greater, the Politician announces retirement
 and is destroyed at the beginning of the following Agoran week.
 The Clork SHALL announce this fact in a timely fashion.

Re-enact Rule 2540, "Political Elections" (Power=2.0), with the
following text:

 For each Post, Vote for <Post> is a secured Politician switch
 tracked by the Clork, with possible values all Politicians and
 undecided (default).

 The voting strength of a Politician for a Post is defined as
 follows:
 - For an election for Host, Politicians have strength equal to
   their Rank.
 - For an election for an Upper Echelon Post, the Host has strength
   4, and Upper Echelon Politicians have strength 2.
 - For an election for a Row Echelon Post, the Host has strength 3,
   Upper Echelon Politicians have strength 2, and Row Echelon
   politicians have strength 1.
 - The Organizer has voting strength 1 greater than e would have
   based on the above.

 The eligible Politicians in an election for a Post are all
 Politicians in the highest non-empty Echelon below that of the
 Post up for election. The number of votes cast for an eligible
 Politician in an election is the sum of voting strengths for that
 Post of all Politicians whose Vote for that Post is the eligible
 Politician; the number of votes cast for a Politician that is not
 eligible is 0.

 An election for a Post is resolvable if that Post is vacant, there
 is a single Politician with the most votes in that election, and
 either at least four days have passed since either the vacancy or
 since its previous occupant Announced Retirement, whichever was
 first, or if the leader has more votes than the Policitian with
 the second-most, plus the total voting strength of all undecided
 Politicians in that election. When an election for a Post is
 resolvable, any player CAN, by announcement, end the election and
 install the winning Politician (which must be specified or else
 the announcement is INEFFECTIVE) into the Post.

 If a Post is vacant and either has been so for seven days or more
 than eleven days have passed since its previous holder Announced
 Retirement, then the Host CAN and SHALL, in a timely fashion, by
 announcement end the election and install one of the Politicians
 with the most votes into the Post.

 When an election for a Post ends, all Vote switches for that Post
 are set to undecided.

Enact a new rule "Party Policy" (Power=2.0) with the following text:

 There are 5 Policies, in order:

 - Justice: interested in seeing justice served
 - Efficiency: interested in seeing official duties performed
 - Legislation: interested in seeing proposals passed
 - Participation: interested in seeing votes cast
 - Economy: interested in economic activity

 At any time, each Policy is held by exactly one Party. The
 assignments must be in cyclic order of their definitions, wrapping
 from bottom to top. For example, if the Platonic Isolationists
 hold Participation as their Policy, then the New Punchbowl Reformers
 hold Economy, the Costume Conservatives hold Justice, and so on.

 At the start of each Agoran month, the Planner CAN and SHALL, in a
 timely fashion, by announcement, select a new assignment of
 Policies to Parties (specifying the Policy of one Party is
 sufficient, since it implies the remainder). E CANNOT specify
 either of the assignments used in the previous two months.

Re-enact Rule 2542, "Favour Award" (Power=2.0), with the following
text:

 The following officers CAN by announcement award Favours in the
 listed Parties, but SHALL NOT do so except as required by rule.

 - Arbitor and Referee: the Party holding Justice.
 - ADoP: the Party holding Efficiency.
 - Assessor: the Parties holding Legislation and Participation.
 - Clork: all Parties.

 When a player judges a CFJ, the Arbitor SHALL, in a timely
 fashion, award that player 3 Favours in the Party holding Justice.
 When a player's Finger-Pointing leads to a Card award, or when the
 Referee issues Summary Judgement, the Referee shall award a Favour
 in the Party holding Justice to the responsible player.

 Complexity is an office switch, tracked by the ADoP, with values 0, 1
 (default), 2, and 3. The ADoP CAN, without 2 Objections, set the
 Complexity of an office. As part of eir weekly duties, the ADoP
 SHALL award to each officeholder a number of Favours in the Party
 holding Efficiency equal to the Complexity of that Office.

 Whenever the Assessor resolves an Agoran decision:
 - If the decision was to adopt a proposal, and it was ADOPTED, e
   SHALL immediately award the proposal's author a number of
   Favours in the Party holding Legislation equal to the proposal's
   AI, rounded up.
 - For each voter who voted on that Agoran decision and did not
   already receive this type of award earlier in the same Agoran
   week, e SHALL award that player 2 Favours in the Party holding
   Participation.

 Any player CAN spend 2 coins to gain a Favour in the Party holding
  Economy.

 As part of eir weekly duties, the Clork SHALL award, to the
 Advisor of a Politician holding one of the below Posts, 3
 Favours in the corresponding Party:
 - Loner: Platonic Isolationists
 - Drunk: New Punchbowl Reformers
 - Mystery: Costume Conservatives
 - Wild One: Substance Use Liberals
 - Hat Rack: Official Raving Monster Looney Party

Re-enact Rule 2543, "Post Powers" (Power=2.0), with the following
text:

 The Creep CAN by announcement, but no more than once per Agoran
 week, increase eir own Stress Level by 1 in order to increase the
 Stress Level of another specified Politician by 2.

 The Schmoozer CAN by announcement, but no more than once per
 Agoran week, change the Party of a specified other Politician to
 the next Party in order, wrapping around.

 The Enforcer CAN, no more than once per week, with Support from at
 least one other Politician not in the Row-Reduced Echelon, remove
 a specified Row Echelon Politician from eir Post. E must specify
 the supporting Politician when doing so, or it is INEFFECTIVE.
 Upon doing so, both the Enforcer and supporting Politician's
 Stress Levels are increased by 1.

Set the Complexities of the offices as follows:
- ADoP: 2
- Arbitor: 2
- Assessor: 3
- Astronomor: 2
- Clork: 2
- Distributor: 0
- Herald: 2
- Prime Minister: 1
- Promotor: 2
- Referee: 2
- Registrar: 2
- Rulekeepor: 3
- Speaker: 1
- Tailor: 1
- Treasuror: 3

Enact a new rule "Get This Party Started" (Power=2.0) with the
following text:

 The Clork CAN, by announcement, and SHALL, in a timely fashion
 after this rule is enacted:
 - Create 20 Politicians, 4 in each Party, specifying their names;
 - Increase each Politician's Stress Level by twice eir Rank;
 - Assign one Politician to each Post, chosen at random;
 - Randomly assign Policies to Parties (obeying the cyclic order
   restriction); then
 - Cause this rule to repeal itself.

 Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, while this rule is in
 effect, it provides the only mechanism by which Politicians can be
 created, Posts or Policies assigned, Stress Levels changed.
 Moreover, rules to the contrary notwithstanding, Favour cannot be
 created.
