[ This is an attempt at a reset/rebalance that strikes a middle ground between
completely erasing everyone's progress and leaving the current exponentially-
growing inequality in place. I'm not positive that I struck the right balance
but even if it's rejected it can be a starting point for discussion. ]
For each facility owned by a player, transfer all coins owned by that facility
to its owner.
For each zombie owned by a player, transfer all coins owned by that zombie to
its owner.
Decrease the coin balance of each player to the square root (rounded up to the

[An alternative algorithm which may be slightly preferable: Quarter
the coin balances instead of square-rooting them.]
If the votes on the proposal titled "From each according to eir
means" authored by twg are such that it has been or will undoubtedly
be ADOPTED, then this proposal has no effect.

Title: Point Installation Act v2
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: G., twg
Create the following Rule, Points, AI-2.0:
Points are the official currency of Agora. Points can
only be owned by players and Agora. Points are tracked by the
Treasuror.
For each player, create a number of points in eir possession equal
to either (A) the number of coins e had immediately before this proposal
took effect, or (B) 1000, whichever is less.
[Why am I doing things in this rule that could go in existing rules?
To maintain the separation of concerns between different levels of play.
We should be able to do whatever we want to with land without affecting
points, and this is the simplest way to do that. The Rulekeepor may
want to add cross references. However, I am still open to alternative
suggestions.]
Create the following Rule, Earning Points, AI-1.5:
For a player to 'earn' a point is for it to be created in eir
possession. For a player to 'lose' a point is for it to be
destroyed (if e has one).
When a decision to adopt a proposal is resolved:
- If the outcome was ADOPTED, its author earns a number of points
equal to (the total strength of all valid ballots cast FOR the
decision - the total strength of all valid ballots cast AGAINST)
times the adoption index of the decision (final result rounded
up).
- If the outcome was REJECTED, its author loses a number of points
equal to (the minimum of (the total strength of all valid ballots cast
AGAINST the decision - the total strength of all valid ballots cast FOR)
and 0).
- If the outcome was FAILED QUORUM, every active player who didn't
cast a ballot loses 1 point.
At the start of each month, for each office, if a single player
held that office for 16 or more days in the previous month and no
unforgivable fines were levied on em for eir conduct in that
office during that time, that player earns 10 points.
When a player registers who has not been a player at any time in
the past 30 days, e earns 25 points.
When a zombie becomes active, e earns 25 points.
When a judge issues eir first official judgement on a given CFJ, e earns
5 points.
}
Create 25 points in the possession of each player who is not eligible for
a welcome package.
[The following translates existing rules to the new system.]
Remove coins from all lists it occurs in Rule 2483, "Economics",
renumbering appropriately where necessary, and remove the text
"Coins are the official currency of Agora." from the same rule.
Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by: {
* Removing item 1(A) and relettering appropriately; and
* Removing item 2(A) and relettering appropriately;.
}
Amend Rule 2499, "Welcome Packages", by removing item 1 and renumbering
appropriately.
Repeal Rule 2572, "Wishing Fountain".
[Should work fine without the optionally, by NCNA.]
Amend Rule 2549, "Auction Initiation", by removing the text ", optionally"
and changing the text "If no currency is specified, it defaults to coins."
to read "If no currency is specified, it defaults to Agora's official
currency. If no minimum bid is specified, it defaults to 1 of the auction's
currency."
Amend each rule, in ascending numerical order, by changing the work "coin"
to "point" and the word "coins" to "points".

Change Rule 2445, "How to Pend a Proposal", to read in full:
Imminence is a switch, tracked by the Promotor, possessed by
proposals in the Proposal Pool, whose value is either "pending" or
"not pending" (default).
Any player CAN flip a specified proposal's imminence to "pending"
by announcement. A player SHALL NOT submit and/or pend proposals that,
taken collectively, are manifestly unreasonable and excessive (hereafter
excess proposals); doing so constitutes the Class-4 Crime of
Excess Legislation. The Promotor CAN remove a specified excess proposal

Amend rule 2003 "Actions in Arcadia" by replacing its text with:
Energy Points (abbreviated EP) is an untracked natural player
switch. Any action which would decrease a player's EP below 0
is INEFFECTIVE.
Players CAN eat a quantity of apples or corn. To eat is to pay a

apple and three for each corn.
Players CAN feed another player a quantity of apples or corn. To

another player using the values given above.
At the beginning of the week, each player's Energy Points switch
is flipped to 0.
Any player CAN perform any of the following actions by
announcement:
1. move from one Land Unit to an adjacent Unit. This action
decreases eir EP by:
a. 1 if the their Land Types are the same or one is gray;
b. 2 if their Land Types differ, neither is gray, and the
destination is not Aether.
2. set the Land Type of a Land Unit that is adjacent to the
Entity's current location, is of type Aether, and is owned by
Agora, to:
a. an alternating Land Type. This action decreases eir EP by 3.
b. eir choice of either Black or White. This action decreases
eir EP by 4.
3. set the Land Type of any Land Unit to:
a. if e owns it, eir choice of either Black or White. This

claim in the current month, and has not won a land auction in
the current or previous month. When e stakes a land claim, the
unit's land type is set to the land type of eir choice, then is
transferred to em, then e moves onto that unit.
