This distribution of proposals and the subsequent assigning of ID
numbers initiates the Agoran Decisions on whether to adopt proposals
6635-6644. The eligible voters for these proposals are the active
players as of this message, and the vote collector is the Assessor.
The valid options on each decision are FOR and AGAINST; as with all
Agoran Decisions, PRESENT is also an option. These decisions are all
ordinary to begin.

Title: Agree to Disagree
Author: coppro
AI: 3.0
II: 3
Chamber: Red
Repeal every rule (in numerical order) that, in the most recent
publication of the FLR prior to the publication of this proposal, was
in the Contract Law category.
Repeal Rule 2169 (Equity Cases).
Repeal Rule 2145 (Partnerships).
Enact a new Rule with power 3:
{{
For greater certainty, no entity is a contract for the purposes
of Rules.
}}
[This prevents people from abusing real-law contracts in the remaining
rules that refer to them, since I'm too lazy and busy to amend those
rules appropriately.]

Title: Refactor definitions
Author: Murphy
AI: 2.0
II: 0
Chamber: Green
Create a rule titled "Veto and Rubberstamp" with Power 2 and this text:
Vetoing an ordinary decision during its voting period increases
its adoption index by 1 and makes it Democratic. Vetoing a
decision under other circumstances has no effect.
Rubberstamping an ordinary, non-filibustered decision during its
voting period decreases its quorum to 3, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding. Rubberstamping a decision under other
circumstances has no effect.
Amend Rule 2255 (Major Arcana) by replacing this text:
Title: Majority Leader.
Position: The Majority Leader CAN veto a specified ordinary
decision in its voting period by announcement; this increases
its Adoption Index by 1 and makes it Democratic.
Title: Cabinet Secretary.
Position: the Cabinet Secretary CAN rubberstamp an ordinary,
non-filibustered decision in its voting period by indicating the
decision; this decreases its quorum to 3, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding.

announcement.

[Keeps Paradox, Medals, Proposal, Leadership, and Solitude as ways to

Repeal Rule 2199 (Ribbons)
Repeal Rule 2223 (Win by Junta)
Repeal Rule 2134 (Win by Clout)

Leadership Tokens are a currency tracked by the Assessor. A
player CANNOT destroy (redeem) Leadership Tokens in eir
possession, except that e CAN:
(a) redeem 3 Leadership Tokens in eir possession to satisfy the
Winning Condition of Leadership;
(b) redeem 1 Leadership Token in eir possession to create 4 ergs
in eir possession.

Title: Canceling Charge
Author: Yally

II: 1
Chamber: Red
Append the following text to Rule 2284 (Fee-based actions)
- A player CAN destroy an erg in the possession of a specified
player for a charge of 2 ergs. The PSM SHALL note such a
destruction in eir report.
[The part about the PSM reporting the event serves to require
the PSM to not only show that 2 ergs were spent, but also
that 1 erg was destroyed.]
End Proposal
I spend one erg to make the above distributable.
Proposal: 2284 Cleanup (AI = 2, II = 0)
Change the text of Rule 2284 from "Fee-based actions" to "Fee-based Actions".

Title: Revert the Speakership
Author: Yally
AI: 1.0
II: 1
Chamber: Red
Amend the text in Rule 402 (Identity of the Speaker) reading:
The Speaker is the active player on the List of Succession who
became part of the list the longest time ago. The Herald SHALL
announce the ascension of a new Speaker asap after it occurs.
to:
The Speaker is the active player on the List of Succession who
won the game most recently. The Herald SHALL announce the
ascension of a new Speaker as soon as possible after it occurs.
[Traditionally, the Speaker was the most recent Player to win the
game. It seems trivial to assign the fifth most recent player to win
the game to be Speaker. This has the added benefit of giving Players
who are already on the List of Succession a reason to win the game
again.]

Chamber: Purple
Create a rule titled "Timing of Voting Limits" with Power 3 and this
text:
Voting eligibility and voting limits for an Agoran decision are
fixed according to the gamestate at the start of the voting
period, with the following exceptions:
a) When a decision becomes democratic during its voting period,
voting eligibility and voting limits are re-measured
according to the gamestate at the start of the voting period
as it pertained to democratic decisions.
b) During the voting period, an eligible voter CAN by
announcement cause eir voting limit to be re-measured
according to the gamestate at the time of the announcement;
this causes any votes e previously cast on that decision to
be retracted.
[Moves the burden of noticing a change in potential voting limit from
the Assessor to the voter.]
Amend Rule 1950 (Voting on Democratic Decisions) to read:
The eligible voters on a democratic decision are the active
first-class players.
[Remove redundancies with the above rule and Rule 683.]
Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) by removing this text from
section 3:
Each eligible voter's voting limit is one.
[Redundant with Rule 683.]
Amend Rule 2156 (Voting on Ordinary Decisions) by replacing the
paragraph beginning with this text:
The eligible voters on an ordinary decision are
with this text:
The eligible voters on an ordinary decision are the active
players. The voting limit of a player on an ordinary decision
is eir base voting limit on that decision (as defined elsewhere
in the rules, equal to one if it would otherwise be undefined or
ambiguous), subject to modification by rules with power at least
as great as this one.
[Refactor Rest modifier into a separate rule. Remove redundancy with
the new rule created above. Protect against the definition of base
voting limits being broken.]
Create a rule titled "Penalty for Rests" with Power 2 and this text:
The voting limit of a player on an ordinary decision is decreased
by one for every two Rests e owns.

Create a new rule titled "Democratic Disinterest" with Power 2 and this
text:
The author of a disinterested proposal CAN, by announcement, make
the decision on whether to adopt it democratic. A statement
within the proposal that its decision should be democratic is
equivalent to such an announcement.

{{{
Enact a new rule at power 2, entitled {Conditional Actions} with the
following text:
{{
An action that would otherwise be performed by announcement is
performed conditionally when, in a public message, the performer
announces that e will perform an action if a certain condition is
met. The action is said to be performed conditionally on that
condition; it is a conditional action.
Actions SHOULD NOT be performed conditionally except to reduce
ambiguity in the game state (e.g. to repeat an action that may
or may not have failed).
}}
Amend Rule 2283 (Fees) by appending the following text:
{{
Players SHALL NOT perform fee-based actions conditionally. Doing
so is the Class-4 Crime of Increasing Uncertainty.
}}
[It's made a class-4 so that players are encouraged to prefer
performing actions unconditionally but incorrectly over
conditionally.]
