Agoran't 2023
=============
I. Amendments
=============
Any participant can propose changes to these regulations.
However, under the current Agoran ruleset, actual amendments to
these regulations are governed by Agoran Rule 2495, which stated,
"These regulations may thereafter be amended only by the Herald or
eir designee Without 3 Objections." (and this may have been
changed, or may be changed in the interim/proceedings, via the
Agoran ruleset.)
===========
II. Joining
===========
Any person CAN become a participant by announcement any time
before the alarm has been sounded.
Any participant CAN cease to be a participant by announcement.
==========
III. Roles
==========
The following are the Roles and their corresponding win
conditions:
Protector - Agoran't is not ossified at any point in time between
the beginning of Agoran't and the end of this contest.
Destroyer - At any point in time before the contest ends, Agoran't
was ossified.
Metawinner - Have the most wins within Agoran't at the moment
immediately before the contest ends.
Adder - Agoran't has 5+ more rules than it did initially,
immediately before the contest ends.
Subtracter - Agoran't has 5+ less rules than it did initially,
immediately before the contest ends.
Employee - Immediately before the contest ends, having published
the most reports that pass a standard of acceptance, such as
ratification.
Spoiler - If the only other participants that would win are
Protectors or Destroyers, the Spoiler also wins.
The Available Roles are the first N roles on the following list,
where N is the number of participants at Role Assignment. If there
are more participants than roles, cycle through the list of roles
until N is met.
List: Protector, Destroyer, Adder, Subtracter, Protector,
Metawinner, Destroyer, Employee, Spoiler.
=======================
IV. Rules and Gamestate
=======================
When the alarm is sounded, the following occur immediately and in
order:
- No former rules exist. No proposals exist and no Agoran
decisions are ongoing. Otherwise, in general, initial gamestate
is to be construed as default or empty.
- Agoran't begins with the ruleset in this message:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2023-June/051757.html
- In the context of Agoran't, the publicity of
"https://agoranomic.groups.io/g/agorant"; is set to "public".
- All participants of this contest become players of Agoran't.
- For the purposes of quorum and otherwise, an AI-1 referendum on
an ordinary proposal with ID 0, title "Dummy proposal", author
4st, no coauthors, AI 1, and empty text was resolved as FAILED
QUORUM, having no voters, and having been initiated 3 weeks
prior.
- For the purposes of activity and otherwise, all players are
considered to have made eir last announcement.
- All unmentioned switches have their default value(s).
- The results of all CFJs that have been judged in Agora are
considered "past judgments" in Agoran't.
============
V. Beginning
============
If it has been 4 days since the beginning of this contest and e
has not already done so, the Gamemaster and two other chosen
players CAN and SHALL distribute roles to each participant such
that only available roles are given out, each participant receives
a role, and nobody knows who received which role.
When the Gamemaster is confident this has occurred, e CAN once and
SHALL, in a timely manner, "set the alarm" by announcement. The
alarm is sounded at the beginning of the first day that starts 24
hours or more after the alarm is set.
======================
VI. Ending and Winning
======================
Ossification, for the purposes of winning the tournament, is taken
to mean: "Agoran't is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any
reasonable combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary
rule changes to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted
within a real-world (UTC) four-week period."
Similarly, for other roles and their win conditions (such as
Employee), if there exists an ambiguity about it, the Agoran
Ruleset should be taken into consideration to provide a judgement.
When 1 second less than 90 days has passed since the initiation of
this tournament, the following occur, in order:
- All participants SHOULD reveal eir roles, and all participants
whose role's win condition have been fulfilled win the
tournament.
- this tournament ends.
- Agoran't SHOULD stop running when the tournament ends.
