Co-Author(s): Amend Rule 2451 (Executive Orders) by appending the following list item: - Research Funding (Mad Engineer): The Prime Minister specifies an existing Rule.

Co-Author(s): Janet Amend Rule 2451 (Executive Orders) by appending the following list item: - Proxy (Assessor): The Prime Minister specifies another active player. A player's voting strength on an ordinary referendum is increased by 4 for each time Proxy was specified for em in its voting period. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8925 Title: Codify Conditionality Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: G. Co-Author(s): Janet, Murphy [Since a recent win was performed with a slightly-complex conditional action, there has been discussion in DIS and on discord about codifying conditional actions. There is much debate and difference of approach in the Discord discussion, but it would be good not to stall out. This paragraph is intended to essentially change no mechanics, and legislatively codify our current common-law precedent - thus acknowledging that conditionals exist at least, which can be changed in later proposals]. Amend Rule 2518 (Determinacy) by appending the following paragraph: A communication purporting to express conditional intent to perform an action is considered unclear and ambiguous unless, at a minimum, the conditional is determinate, true, and reasonably straightforward to evaluate with publicly-available information at the time of communication. The communicator SHOULD explain specific reasons for being uncertain of the outcome when e makes the communication. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8926 Title: Just add the sins directly Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: 4st Co-Author(s): nix Some rules have synonyms defined (EG CFJ, intend, submit, proposer, become) and some... don't. Yet somehow they all work based on the 'belief' that they work (like CFJs and airplanes). So the time has come to codify it. Additionally, some doubt has come based on whether "oppose" is sufficient to object to Agoran consent, and if other systems are working on 'belief', then either that should be standardized, or this. And it is of my opinion that Agorans would rather have things this way, so... ThUSLY, Amend R2201 ("Self-Ratification") by replacing: "(syn. claim of error)" with "(syn. CoE, claim of error)" AND SO, Amend R2202 ("Ratification Without Objection") by replacing: "A player CAN, without objection, ratify a specified public document." with: "A player CAN, without objection, ratify a specified public document (syn. RWO)." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8927 Title: One More Sin Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: 4st Co-Author(s): nix Amend R1681 ("The Logical Rulesets") by appending the following: "Generally, R[N] is shorthand for Rule [N]." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -- snail
