BUS: Attack on the CFJ-A
YOU HAVE ALL FALLEN FOR MY DEVIOUS PLOT TO OVERTHROW THE INSIDIOUS AND TYRANNICAL CFJ ARCHIVES Never again shall we be plagued by some rascal popping out of thin air saying "ah but sorry this ancient cfj is relevant lmao". Never again! I've come to DESTROY the CFJA. DESTROY IT FOR GOOD! Not only that, you've all enabled me, for you've fallen for my devious plan. I hereby gain 1 Humble Agoran Minion per Potato in play from the Humble Agoran Farming contract (So, 1192 Humble Agoran Minions in total). Haha! You fools! Outsmarted yet again, by me, Cuddlebeam. I hereby Deploy My Army by announcement, consisting of the following: - 1192 x Humble Agoran Minions: Potato-based minions, rich in vitamins and starch and bloodlust. One of them is the Commander unit, "Peter Tuber", granting them all +5 Morale and +3 Intelligence. - 30 x Unused Blognomic Dynasty Concepts: Barely tangible, this swarm of ghostly fodder, oversized unborn fetuses of Dynasties-to-be float 20cm off the ground (they ignore difficult terrain) and phase randomly (3+ on a 1d6) in and out of existence. They can also fire poorly developed ideas. - 4 x Palanquin Bearers, carrying an Idol of Plato for +5 Morale. - 3 x Blognomic Brutes. They’ve survived 5 (five) Dynasties when mere mortals wonder what kind of masochist would keep playing this game and leave after just one. They know no fear nor precedents, having been bred in the treacherous and cutthroat lands of The Other Nomic. They have +3 to break through any Long-Standing Interpretation Standard but don’t have an attention span for anything longer than a month. One of them is a Commander, having won 3 Dynasties and knows Pool Magic. They’re also equipped with a Greater Pool Noodle and Snorkel. - And of course, myself, Cuddlebeam, riding atop a mobile Tower of Hubris. It can fire my poor attempts at humor with its [Cannons] and has a firing range of 5 posts. Its height makes me nigh-impervious but it makes it hard for me to see, especially when out of range of a recent Report because of the Cuddlebeam special Trait of [Can’t be Arsed to Figure out the Gamestate]. I also have the special weakness of [Officer Work]. But I’m equipped with a Flamethrower Guitar of No Special Meta-Referential Meaning (it has +10 Cool). (Also, apparently there's a dictatorship or something going on? HA! Like that's going to do anything against my massive cerebral (that means brain btw) power.) Your move, Agorans.

BUS: [proposal] Apologetic clarification
I submit, but pendn't, the following proposal:
Title: With apologies to Rule 2557
Author: Jason

Adoption index: 1.7
{
Amend Rule 2557 by replacing "the perp CAN, in a timely fashion, expunge
P blots from emself, where P is the value of the fine" with "the perp
CAN, in a timely fashion, expunge P blots from emself, where P is the
minimum of the number of blots e possesses and the value of the fine".
[Clarifies an edge case where a person tries to apologize after
expunging a blot.]

BUS: [Pledge] Electoral Pledge for the Office of Referee
To honour my illustrious predecessor, and to protect the people of Agora from possible perversions of justice by future unelected referees: I pledge to announce my intent to enact the regulations detailed below, proceeding to then enact them, if I win the election for the office of Referee. The performance of the actions in the preceding paragraph are conditional upon them being permitted by the rules. The value of N in this pledge is 3. Regulations as follows: - Regulation RA0 Limitations to Powers of Interim Referees An interim holder of the office of Referee (henceforth known as an ‘Interim Referee’) SHALL NOT impose summary judgement more than twice a week. It is PROHIBITED for an Interim Referee levy a fine to a person who commits the Class 2 Crime of Tardiness, if the person's deadline to perform eir duty occurs during a Holiday, as defined by rule 1769. A Referee MUST NOT enact or amend any other regulations in such a manner as to cause any of them to take precedence over this regulation. This regulation takes precedence over all other administrative regulations promulgated by any Referee. --- Regulation RA1 General Enforcement Policies If a Referee wishes to impose the Cold Hand of Justice on any perp for the Class 2 Crime of Tardiness, e is strongly RECOMMENDED to specify the violation as forgivable, unless the perp has consecutively committed the violation or the evidence indicates that the perp has used or has attempted to use the violation as part of a plan to abuse eir official position. Referees are ENCOURAGED to amend this regulation to specify best practices for other crimes and violations. --- Regulation RA2 Guidelines to Referees for Compiling Weekly Reports Courtesy of the illustrious Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, when making eir weekly report on blot holdings, a Referee is ENCOURAGED to additionally include: 1. A section tracking investigations resulting from a finger being pointed of which the Referee is the investigator, which have not been concluded at the time of the report’s publishing; e SHOULD provide the following fields for each entry: a. Name of the perp b. Name of the person who pointed eir finger d. Summary of the available findings at the time of the report The Referee is strongly DISCOURAGED from reporting on investigations of which e is not the investigator. At the time of the promulgation of this regulation, the only rule-defined circumstance in which the Referee is not the investigator is when the Referee is the perp. As such, eir reports on such investigations may be misleading and are at a high likelihood of violating rule 2471. 2. A section tracking historical changes to the blots possessed by persons. If available, the time period tracked is RECOMMENDED to begin from approximately two years prior and end at the time of the report’s publishing. E SHOULD provide the following columns for this section: a. Name of person in whose possession the number of blots has changed b. Change in number of blots c. Date of change d. Reason of change --- Regulation RA3 Holiday Rule Reminder Practice In addition to the recommendations contained within rule 1769, the Referee is strongly ENCOURAGED to remind the players of the end of the Holiday by announcement. This SHOULD be done between 2 to 4 days before the end of the Holiday. - -- JTAC Interim Referee
