EXPERIMENT 00073 RULE SELECTION
As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 478
("Fora"). 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 478 is reproduced below for convenience:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 478/41 (Power=3)
Fora
Publicity is a secured forum switch with values Public,
Discussion, and Foreign (default), tracked by the Registrar.
The Registrar may change the publicity of a forum without
objection as long as:
1. e sends eir announcement of intent to that forum; and
2. if the forum is to be made public, the announcement by which
the Registrar makes that forum public is sent to all existing
public fora.
Each player should ensure e can receive messages via each public
forum.
A public message is a message sent via a public forum, or sent to
all players and containing a clear designation of intent to be
public. A rule can also designate that a part of one public
message is considered a public message in its own right. To
"publish" or "announce" something is to send a public message
whose body contains that thing. To do something "publicly" is
to do that thing within a public message.
Where the rules define an action that a person CAN perform "by
announcement", that person performs that action by, in a single
public message, specifying the action and setting forth intent to
perform that action by sending that message, doing both clearly
and unambiguously.
Any action performed by sending a message is performed at the time
date-stamped on that message. Actions in messages (including
sub-messages) are performed in the order they appear in the
message, unless otherwise specified. Allowing actions performed by
sending a message to take place simultaneously must be done
explicitly and is secured at power 2.
