https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F39OHtBlZlQ8XVccqKCFtP-DPuHz4wPnujxbxkCN3LI/edit?usp=sharing I hereby distribute each listed proposal, initiating a referendum on it, and removing it from the proposal pool. For this decision, the vote collector is the Assessor, the quorum is 5, the voting method is AI-majority, and the valid options are FOR and AGAINST (PRESENT is also a valid vote, as are conditional votes). ID Author(s) AI Title --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8972* Janet 3.0 Yes we are EFFECTIVE! 8973~ Janet 1.0 Not so welcome anymore 8974~ Janet 1.0 Plan B 8975* Janet 3.0 De-regulating 8976* Janet 3.0 Ruleset convergance 8977~ snail 2.0 Expedited Proposals 8978* Janet 3.0 Authorized initiation 8979~ Yachay 1.0 Rationalized Impartial Commencement Equality The proposal pool contains the following proposals: ID Author(s) AI Title --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legend: <ID>* : Democratic proposal. <ID>~ : Ordinary proposal. The full text of the aforementioned proposal(s) is included below. Where the information shown below differs from the information shown above, the information shown above shall control. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8972 Title: Yes we are EFFECTIVE! Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2152 ("Mother, May I?") by replacing "CAN, POSSIBLE:" with "CAN, POSSIBLE, EFFECTIVE, VALID:" and by replacing "MAY:" with "MAY, LEGAL, PERMISSIBLE:". [Define the positives for all negative terms in R2152. "EFFECTIVE" in particularly is necessary for R2471/3 to work.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8973 Title: Not so welcome anymore Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: Janet Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2499 ("Welcome Packages") by removing "* the number of hooves the player(s) with the most hooves has". ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8974 Title: Plan B Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: Janet Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2657 by, as a single amendment, removing the list items and bullet points for the list items starting with each of the following: "Charity", "Sharing, "Wealth". Repeal Rule 2499 ("Welcome Packages"). Repeal Rule 2659 ("Stamps"). Repeal Rule 2680 ("Ritual Paper Dance"). Repeal Rule 2656 ("Radiance"). [Given a new player winning within a month and a half by stamps by simply trading, something needs to change, and with no other radiance conditions existing, something needs to change. It doesn't need to be this, and I don't necessarily *want* it to be this, but the status quo is clearly not working.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8975 Title: De-regulating Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2125 by replacing "The Rules SHALL NOT be interpreted so as to proscribe unregulated actions." with "The Rules are not to be interpreted so as to proscribe unregulated actions.". [This doesn't need to be an actual crime.] Amend Rule 2125 by appending the following paragraph: { The above notwithstanding, sending a message (in general or with specific attributes) is never a regulated action; however, the rules may be interpreted so as to proscribe sending public messages (in general or with specific attributes). } [Clarify this (sending a message being regulated would be very bad) and allow prohibiting the sending of messages (e.g. for No Faking).] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8976 Title: Ruleset convergance Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-author(s): Amend Rule 2202 ("Ratification Without Objection") to read, in whole: { A public document is part (possibly all) of a public message. A player CAN, without objection, ratify a specified public document. Ratification Without Objection CANNOT cause the repeal, amendment, enactment, or mutation of any Rule, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. A player SHALL NOT knowingly use or announce intent to use Ratification Without Objection to ratify a (prior to ratification) document containing incorrect or Indeterminate information when a corrected document could be produced with reasonable effort, unless the general nature of the document's error and reason for ratifying it is clearly and plainly described in the announcement of intent. Such ratification or announcement of intent to ratify is the Class 8 Infraction of Endorsing Forgery. } Amend Rule 2422 ("Voting Strength") to read, in whole: { The voting strength of an entity on an Agoran decision is an integer between 0 and 15 inclusive, defined by rules of power 2 or greater. If not otherwise specified, the voting strength of an entity on an Agoran decision is 3. When multiple rules set or modify an entity's voting strength on an Agoran decision, it shall be determined by first applying the rule(s) which set it to a specific value, using the ordinary precedence of rules, and then applying the rules, other than this one, which modify it, in numerical order by ID. Finally, if the result of the calculation is not an integer, it is rounded up, and then if it is outside the allowable range of values for voting strength, it is set to the minimum value if it was less and the maximum value if it was more. } Amend Rule 2139 ("The Registrar") to read, in whole: { The Registrar is an office; its holder is responsible for keeping track of players. The Registrar's weekly report includes: 1. A list of all players, including information sufficient to identify and contact each player. 2. The date on which each player most recently became a player. 3. For each forum with non-Foreign publicity, sufficient instructions for players to receive messages there. The Registrar's monthly report includes: 1. For each former player for which the information is reasonably available, the dates on which e registered and deregistered. } Amend Rule 103 ("The Speaker") to read, in whole: { The Speaker is an imposed office and the figurehead leader of Agora. The player or players who have most recently won the game are called Laureled. If at any time the office of Speaker is vacant, or when one or more players win Agora, then the Prime Minister CAN once appoint a Laureled player to the office of Speaker by announcement. Whenever the Prime Minister CAN appoint a Laureled player to the office of Speaker, e SHALL do so in a timely manner, except that the Prime Minister MAY defer appointing a new Speaker while there is pending one or more open CFJs that could plausibly determine or affect the question of whether a player is Laureled. If the Prime Minister is emself Laureled, eir power to appoint a Speaker continues for the entirety of a message in which e resigns as Prime Minister, and if e is the only Laureled player, e CAN void that power, and thereby discharge the obligation to use it, by announcing that e declines to take the office. If the office of Speaker has been held continuously by the same person for the past 90+ days, then any player CAN appoint another player to the office with support. } [Reset the above rules to what they should be and were thought to be before the insufficient power errors were discovered.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8977 Title: Expedited Proposals Adoption Index: 2.0 Author: snail Co-author(s): [Expedited proposals can be useful for bugfixes, counter-scams, or changes we can unanimously agree are wanted quickly, so this is a proposal to implement them safely.] Amend Rule 2606 (Proposal Classes) to read in full: { Proposals created since the enactment of this rule have a secured untracked Class switch with possible values ordinary (the default), expedited, and democratic. When a proposal with an adoption index greater than or equal to 3.0 is created, its class becomes democratic. Each player CAN, with 2 Agoran consent, flip an ordinary proposal's class to democratic, provided it is in the Proposal Pool or that there is a referendum on it whose voting period has not yet ended. Each player CAN, with 2 support, flip an ordinary proposal's class to expedited, provided it is in the Proposal Pool and e has not done so yet this week. Each player CAN, by announcement, flip an expedited proposal's class to ordinary, but SHOULD only do so if the proposal is not a bugfix, emergency, or time-sensitive issue, or if e sees an issue with the proposal. Each player CAN distribute an expedited proposal, by announcement. Each player CAN act on behalf of the Assessor to resolve an unresolved referendum on an expedited proposal, provided that referendum has no valid AGAINST ballots cast on it. } [Note that democratic (AI 3+) proposals can't be expedited.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8978 Title: Authorized initiation Adoption Index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-author(s): Amend Rule 107 ("Initiating Agoran Decisions") by replacing "A public notice purporting to initiate an Agoran decision is a self-ratifying attestation of the notice's validity." with "A public notice purporting to initiate an Agoran decision is a self-ratifying attestation that the notice was valid, that the person (if any) publishing the notice was authorized to initiate the decision, and that such a decision was initiated.". [The notice being "valid" is not enough for the decision to have been initiated, so also ratify that there was authorization and that the decision was actually initiated. Luckily this shouldn't matter historically because Rule 2034 ensures that the decision is ratified into existence at resolution.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8979 Title: Rationalized Impartial Commencement Equality Adoption Index: 1.0 Author: Yachay Co-author(s): If all of the following is true: - An office called the "Ricemastor" exists - Undercooked players exist (be the "Rice Time" the time between the moment that "The Rice Game" rule was added to the ruleset, and the 24 hours posterior, and all players that had gained Rice during that period be known as "Undercooked" players). Then, set the Rice of all Undercooked players to 0. Otherwise, this Proposal does nothing. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -- snail
