Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: 4st Co-author(s): When this proposal is adopted, each of the following occur in order, separately, if possible: 1. All players who voted AGAINST or conditionally on this proposal have their score set to 0 2. All players who voted AGAINST or conditionally on this proposal have their coins set to 0 3. All players who voted AGAINST or conditionally on this proposal have all stamps they own destroyed. 4. All players who voted AGAINST this proposal have any stones they own are transferred to Agora. 5. All players who voted AGAINST or conditionally on this proposal have any birds they own transferred to Agora. 6. Grant 4st 200 points. 7. Enact the following rule, title 'Voter protection' with power=1.0: { Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, proposals cannot affect players or their assets based on the way they have voted. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, rules that affect players or their assets based on the way a player has voted cannot affect the proposal in which that rule is enacted. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8838 Title: Kickstarter Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: Murphy Co-author(s): Each person who was a player when Rule 2668 (Horses) was enacted gains 10 dollaries. [Another thing tied to "when the race starts anew", but the enactment of these rules doesn't clearly qualify. The Registrar's report of August 14 should be sufficient to identify who gains dollaries, as there were no registrations or deregistrations in between.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8839 Title: Not so hard decision Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: 4st Co-author(s): Create the following rule if it doesn't exist, with Title "Voter Protection" and power=3.0 { Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, proposals cannot affect players' assets or players' scores based on the way they have voted. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, rules that affect players' assets or players' scores based on the way a player has voted cannot affect the proposal in which that rule is enacted. } If a rule with the title "Voter Protection" already exists, amend it so that it matches the above rule, and set its power to 3. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8840 Title: Cleanliness security Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: Jason Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2221 by appending the following paragraph: { Cleaning rules is secured. Refiling rules is secured. } [This is maybe arguably not necessary based on the exact wording of R2221, but better safe than sorry.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8841 Title: Spivak Standardization Act v2 Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: Jason Co-author(s): Aspen, Gaelan Enact a new power-3 rule entitled "Pronoun Prioritization" with the following text: { The Spivak pronouns (e/em/eir) are hereby recognized as the standard third-person singular personal pronouns in Agora. In official contexts, players SHOULD use them when referring to non-specific persons or, in the absence of a clear statement of another preference, when referring to a specific other person. The use of other singular third-person pronouns when referring to persons is DISCOURAGED in official contexts, except upon specific request by that person. A player CAN, with Agoran consent, cause this rule to amend a specified other rule of power less than 4, specifying the new text of the rule, such that the new text rewords and rephrases the existing text in order to use Spivak pronouns in place of singular they, provided that such amendment would not result in the meaning or interpretation of that rule changing in any way. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8842 Title: Losing Focus Adoption Index: 2.0 Author: Pilgore Co-authors: nix, Jason, Madrid Repeal R2638 (Player Focuses) Repeal R2605 (Ministries) Amend R2645 (The Stones) to delete the bullet point which reads: Concentration Stone (monthly, 60%): A specified player (defaulting to the wielder if not specified) gains the Grant associated with eir Focus. and replace it with: Jockey Stone (monthly, 60%): A specified Running horse's Race Position is increased by 1. If at the time this proposal is adopted the Concentration Stone is owned by a player, that player becomes the owner of the Jockey Stone. Otherwise, Agora becomes the owner of the Jockey Stone. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8843 Title: Time B Safe Adoption Index: 4.0 Author: G. Co-authors: Jason, Murphy Amend Rule 1698 (Agora Is A Nomic) by replacing: adopted within a four-week period. with: adopted within a real-world (UTC) four-week period. [ In discord, a Power-5 Rule was suggested: "Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, this rule CANNOT be changed in January or February of 2023". Up until the time a proposal to change this rule could take effect before January 2023, Agora would not be ossified. But then you cross a time boundary and Agora would become ossified. One *possible* interpretation of > If any other single change or inseparable group of changes to the > gamestate would cause Agora to become ossified, or would cause > Agora to cease to exist, it is cancelled and does not occur, rules > to the contrary notwithstanding. is that the "cancelled change" would be time passing! With the conclusion that time had (as a legal fiction) stopped, with no way of getting it started again. So this proposal puts an extra protection on time by making it clear that only "real world" time is relevant. The title a reference B nomic, an established nomic some years back that was killed when they accidentally stopped time or at least couldn't get it started again. ] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8844 Title: Fix dreams Adoption Index: 2.0 Author: 4st Co-author: Jason For Rule 2675 'Dream of Wandering', change its power to 2. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8845 Title: Onicers Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: secretsnail Co-author(s): Enact a new rule with title "Onicers" and the following text: { Every player that, for the past 14 days, has not held an office is an onicer. Once per month, each onicer CAN, by announcement, increase the score of a specified officer by 1 while also decreasing the score of another specified officer by 1. E SHOULD explain eir reasoning for doing so in the same message. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8846 Title: The Cheepening Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: secretsnail Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2661 (Permits) by replacing "A player CAN buy a beast permit by paying a fee of 50 boatloads of coins." with "A player CAN buy a beast permit by paying a fee of 30 boatloads of coins." and by replacing "A player CAN renew eir beast permit by paying a fee of 25 boatloads of coins." with "A player CAN renew eir beast permit by paying a fee of 15 boatloads of coins." Amend Rule 2663 (Bird Migration) by replacing "A player CAN buy bird food by paying a fee of 5 boatloads of coins." with "A player CAN buy bird food by paying a fee of 3 boatloads of coins." Amend Rule 2675 (Dream of Wandering) by replacing - Dream of Beasts: E CAN buy bird food by paying a fee of 3 boatloads of coins. E CAN buy a Beast Permit by paying a fee of 40 boatloads of coins. E CAN renew a Beast Permit by paying a fee of 20 boatloads of coins. with - Dream of Beasts: E CAN buy bird food by paying a fee of 2 boatloads of coins. E CAN buy a Beast Permit by paying a fee of 20 boatloads of coins. E CAN renew a Beast Permit by paying a fee of 10 boatloads of coins. [An effort to make birds more approachable. They always fly away when you get too close.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8847 Title: Bird Powerup Adoption Index: 2.0 Author: secretsnail Co-authors: 4st Change the power of Rule 2662 (Playing with Birds) to 2. Amend Rule 2665 (The Birds) by removing the text "- Jay: The voting strength of the playmate on a specified referendum is increased by 3." Enact a new rule with title "The Big Birds", power 2, and the following text: { The following birds are defined, one per paragraph, with the following format: Bird Name: Scroll. - Jay: The voting strength of the playmate on a specified ordinary referendum is increased by 3. } Create the Jay in the possession of the entity that owned the Jay when this proposal started to take effect.
