BUS: [proposal] Generic welcome package fix

2020-07-20 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-business
I submit the following proposal (I'll figure out how to get it pended
later):

Title: Generic welcome package fix

Adoption index: 1.0

Author: Jason

Coauthors:


{

Amend Rule 2499 by deleting the sentence beginning "A player CANNOT" and
by replacing the final paragraph with the following:

{

When a player receives a Welcome Package, if e has not received one in
the past 30 days, then e earns 10 coins and one of each type of Card
defined in the rules.

}


[This makes protects against all possible infinite welcome package scams
that involve one person receiving infinite welcome packages. With this
change, a person can get infinite welcome packages, but only the first
one in each 30 day period will actually grant any rewards (which likely
makes most scams not worth the hassle).]

I point the finger at Greg, for violating No Faking by claiming (via
signature) to be Trigon:

I point the finger at Greg, for violating No Faking by claiming (via
signature) to be Publius Scribonius Scholasticus:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2020-July/044227.html

There is a clear implication of identity when using a signature.  This is
a direct lie in at least 1 of these situations (from immediate evidence,
likely both). Further, each instance shows a clear intent to mislead Agora
as to this person's identity.  On Discord, after the first message above,
Trigon got asked if e was running a fake but forgot to change eir
signature.  So this misleading announcement was pernicious enough to
result in direct accusations of criminal behavior on a (most likely?)
innocent person.

Comments:

1.  Ain't me.

2.  It's clearly a different nickname, giving the punctuation.  I am G.
and e is G.  To be clearer, E is G and I am G..

3.  Giving benefit of the doubt, I'll assume that this is an innocent
person who wants to be known by eir first initial and didn't know G. was
in use.  So, welcome to Agora, G(reg)!  I award G(reg) a Welcome Package.

4.  Assuming you're a new arrival, we generally honor a person's chosen
nickname, but choosing a nickname isn't an official part of the rules, so
if it's really confusing (e.g. overlap with a previous nickname) we'd
probably find some consensus on a practical way to distinguish it, or
suggest alternatives (I don't think Greg is taken, for example!)

Best and welcome,
the OG G.

BUS: [Proposal][@Notary] Competitive Finger Pointing v2

2020-07-20 Thread nix via agora-business
I withdraw Competitive Finger Pointing. I forgot that the rules don't 
really support Class 0 Crimes. Here's a version that adds a new thing 
for them: warnings. If someone committed a Class 0 Crime, e can be given 
a Warning.

I pledge to, until the end of this calendar month, either pend or 
withdraw all proposals I submit within 48 hours of submitting them.

I submit the following proposal:

{

Title: Competitive Finger Pointing v2
AI: 1.7
Author: nix
Coauthors: Aris, PSS, ATMunn

Amend R2478, "Vigilante Justice" by adding to the beginning of the
list:

     - Issuing a Warning to the perp, as described elsewhere;

and by adding after the list items:

     Initiating a Finger Pointing found to be Shenanigans is ILLEGAL
     and the Class 0+N Crime of Unjustified Gesticulation, where N is
     the number of times e has previously committed the crime in the
     current Agoran Week.

and by adding, to the very end of the rule:

     The player who initiated the most Finger Pointings that resulted
     in a Warning, Indictment, or Cold Hand of Justice in the previous
     Agoran Week CAN once grant emself a Justice Card by announcement.

Amend R2557 "Sentencing Guidelines" by adding to the end:

     When the rules authorize an investigator to issue a Warning for a
     violation, e CAN do so by announcement if the violation is
     described by the rules as a "Class N Crime" where N is 0 or an
     expression that evaluates to 0.

[There is no ruleset support for class 0 crimes right now. So this 
version adds support by introducing a new thing the investigator can do 
called a Warning.]

   Ribbon Ownership is a secured person switch, tracked by the

   the set of types of Ribbon, defaulting to the empty set. If the
   rules are amended to change the types of Ribbon, if a player's
   Ribbon Ownership is subsequently illegal, then it is updated by
   removing all nonexistent types rather than resetting the entire
   value to default.

   To "award a person a " is to add that type of Ribbon
   to that person's Ribbon Ownership. A person "owns a "
   if that type of Ribbon is an element of eir Ribbon Ownership.

with this text:

   For each type of Ribbon,  Ribbon Ownership is a secured
   negative boolean person switch, tracked by the Tailor in eir
   monthly report.

   To "award a person a " is to flip that person's
Ribbon Ownership to True. A person "owns a " if eir  Ribbon Ownership is True.

and by replacing this text:

   While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a
   Banner by announcement. This causes that person to win the game.
   That person's Ribbon Ownership becomes the empty set.

with this text:

   While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a

   When a person wins this way, for each type of Ribbon, that

Title: Clarify asset ownership
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Murphy
Co-authors: CuddleBeam


Amend Rule 2576 (Ownership) to read:

   Each asset has exactly one owner.

   If ownership of an asset is restricted to a class of entities,
   then that asset CANNOT be gained by or transferred to an entity
   outside that class. By default, ownership of an asset is
   restricted to Agora, players, and contracts, but an asset's
   backing document may modify this.

   If an asset's owner would otherwise be nonexistent, indeterminate,
   or invalid, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if
   possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its
   backing document. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lost
   and Found Department can own assets of every type. Assets owned by
   the Lost and Found Department can be transferred or destroyed by
   any player without objection.
