I intend to play as some fantasy race and progress my civilization one step at a time but feel free to play in any way you want - what goes and doesn't will ultimately depend on our collective CfJs. Create a new Power-1 rule called "Agora of Empires" with this content: "There exists a document known as the Empireworld, which should describe in some way a fictional world. Each player that has amended this document is said to have their own Empire in the Empireworld, and such players are Imperials. A player CAN amend the Empireworld once per week by announcement to narratively progress the Empireworld in some reasonable fashion. The message with this kind of announcement MUST include the latest form of the Empireworld post-amendment. These amendments MUST follow relevant guidance given in CfJs. Imperials are ENCOURAGED to shape this subgame through CfJs. Any person can amend the Empireworld without 2 objections and Imperials are ENCOURAGED to attempt this action when ey believe it to be appropriate. An Imperial can, by announcement, win the game without 2 objections if the Empireworld shows that ey have accomplished at least 3 extraordinary feats in the fictional world that the Empireworld describes since ey last won the game in this way. This rule does not describe what qualifies as an extraordinary feat." // ID: 9069 Title: Coauthored Crystals Adoption index: 1.0 Author: snail Co-authors: Amend Rule 2685 (Crystals) by replacing { - If that crystal's owner is not the author of that proposal, the instability of that crystal is increased by 3. } with { - If that crystal's owner is not the author of that proposal, the instability of that crystal is increased by 1. - If that crystal's owner is not the author or coauthor of that proposal, the instability of that crystal is increased by 2. } [This makes the rule function the same when there's no coauthors, but if there's a coauthor that owns the crystal of the modified rule, its instability is only increased by 1 instead of 3.] //

OFF: [Referee] The Blotter
This is the Referee's weekly report. BLOT HOLDINGS (self-ratifying) = snail has 1 Blot. All other persons have 0 Blots. INFRACTIONS (not self-ratifying) === No infractions were noted nor investigated last week. So far this week, one infraction was investigated, a violation of rule 2471 performed by snail at 07:45:18 on 12 March 2024, with a Class of 2 (e claimed under penalty of No Faking that the message contained no game actions, whilst apparently believing the statement to be paradoxical, or at least ambiguous/unclear/debatable, rather than unambiguously true). This infraction was never noted (snail attempted to note it, but the attempt failed because no rule provided a mechanism for em to note it). -- ais523 Referee

As has been pointed out elsethread by Janet, the CFJ doesn't match the actual alleged infraction: the CFJ is checking whether the message contains a game action, whereas the infraction is checking whether the publisher believed the message to be not true (i.e. whether snail believed the message to contain a game action). In general, truthfulness rules don't work as a way to "escalate" the truth of arbitrary statements into becoming relevant for Agora: what matters is not whether the statement is true, but whether the player vouching for it believed that it was true. It seems very unlikely (well beyond the "preponderance of the evidence" standard) that snail did believe that "this message contains a game action" was a true (as opposed to paradoxical) statement, especially given that the "I note that" in the follow-up message would probably be a No Faking violation in of itself if the infraction hadn't been committed (although the "intent to mislead" is a bit less clear there: the message seems to have envisaged the possibility that the noting would fail, which might be enough of a disclaimer to cause the message to not be misleading). It is also worth noticing that the attempt to note the infraction did in fact fail; there isn't actually a defined action of noting your own infraction (rule 2478 defines an action of noting "any other player's" infraction, but noting your own infraction doesn't fit that definition), so the action by announcement fails. I think that that was probably unintentional (and thus not done with intent to mislead). This in turn means that there's no actual obligation on the Referee to do anything here. However, the situation is nonetheless an apparently intentional rules breach as part of a win attempt, something which I think should be taken seriously. That said, it was also essentially harmless: a rules breach for the sake of being a rules breach, but not one that actually harms any of the other players, and that lead to some interesting gameplay. These factors cancel out somewhat, arguing for a penalty in the middle of the range. I investigate snail's infraction, by sending the message in the inner quote above, of claiming (under penalty of No Faking) something which e did not believe to be true (as opposed to paradoxical): this is a violation of rule 2471, with a Base of 0 and Class of 2, and I specify a penalty of 1 blot for it. -- ais523 Referee
