EXPERIMENT 00047 RULE SELECTION
As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 879
("Quorum"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.
Please send suggestions if you have them!
The text of Rule 879 is reproduced below for convenience:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 879/40 (Power=3)
Quorum
Each Agoran decision has a quorum. This is a number set when the
decision is created, and thereafter cannot be changed. When a
person initiates an Agoran decision, that person SHALL state the
quorum of that decision. However, incorrectly stating the quorum
of a decision does not invalidate the initiation, nor does it
actually change the quorum of the decision.
The quorum that an Agoran decision gains as it is created can be
defined by other rules of power 2 or greater. If no other rule
defines the quorum of an Agoran decision, the quorum for that
decision is equal to 2/3 of the number of voters on the referendum
that had been most recently resolved at the time of that
decision's initiation, the whole rounded to the nearest integer.
As an exception to the previous paragraph, the minimum quorum of
an Agoran decision is 2, or 1 if there are fewer than 2 players in
the game. If the rules would attempt to set the quorum of an
Agoran decision to less than the minimum quorum, it is set to the
minimum instead.
