BUS: (@notary, @Treasuror, @Murphy) Promise cashing
Noting Murphy has 2 voting cards and I have 2 voting cards: I transfer 2 voting cards to Murphy. I specify voting cards with reference to the below promise. I take an instance of the below promise from the library and cash it. [This should result in those 4 cards being traded in for a set, and Murphy and I each ending with 5 Extra Votes]. -G. "Two by two" created by Murphy Bearer: the Library Text: Cashing conditions: * If the bearer is me, then no other conditions need to be met. * The bearer specifies exactly one type of Card. * The bearer has transferred two of that Card to me earlier in the same message, without cashing any of my other promises or reducing my instances of that Card in between. * Before that transfer, I had less than four of that Card. * I now have at least four of that Card. If the bearer is me, then I do nothing; otherwise, I pay a set of four of that Card, then transfer half the resulting products to the bearer.
BUS: [proposal] Gauntlet announcement patch
I submit (but do not pend) the following proposal:
Title: Gauntlet announcement patch
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Jason
Coauthors:
{
Amend Rule 2644 (The Gauntlet) to read, in whole:
{
A player CAN, by announcement, Notice the Gauntlet, specifying a single
player that owns 5 or more stones. When e does, the specified player
Wields the Gauntlet.
When a player Wields the Gauntlet, e wins the game, then all existing
stones are transferred to Agora.
}
[This removes the possibility of accidentally causing someone to Wield
the Gauntlet by changing the "correct announcement" to a specific
action. For instance, I am concerned that a Stonemason's weekly report
might be considered such an announcement.]

BUS: [proposal] Fixing Festivals
I submit (but do not pend) the following proposal:
Title: Fixing Festivals
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Coauthors: Aris, Murphy
{
Amend Rule 2124 by replacing the following text:
{
The entities eligible to support or object to an intent to perform
an action are, by default, all players, subject to modification by
the document authorizing the dependent action.
}
with the following text:
{
A document that authorizes a dependent action, by default, implicitly
asserts that all players are eligible to support or object to an intent
to perform that action; if the document is a rule, conflicts about
eligibility (including conflicts with such an implicit assertion) are
resolved using the normal procedures.
}
Set the power of Rule 2480 (Festivals) to 3.1.
Set the power of Rule 2481 (Festival Restrictions) to 3.1.
Amend Rule 2481 (Festival Restrictions) by replacing "Non-Festive
players are never considered Supporters of a dependent action" with
"Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, non-Festive players are not
eligible to support a dependent action".
[Currently, eligibility to object/support to a dependent action is
defined wholly by the rule defining the action. This breaks the festival
rule that non-festive players are not considered supporters. This
proposal changes the definition of eligibility so that it uses the
normal precedence rules, then raises the power of Festivals so that it
applies to the highest-power dependent action (emergency regulation
changes).]

"When the rules authorize": "Persons who voluntarily participate in an

auction's method that are clearly intended to be punishable as rules
violations; doing so is the Class N Crime of Auction
Manipulation, where N is the class specified in the auction method (or 2

BUS: [proposal] Supporter/Objector clarification
I submit (but do not pend) the following proposal:
Title: Supporter/Objector clarification
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Coauthors:
{
Amend Rule 2124 by replacing the following:
{
The above notwithstanding, if an action is to be performed without
N objections or with N Agoran consent, and an objection to an
intent to perform it has been withdrawn within the past 24 hours,
then Agora is not Satisfied with that intent.
The above notwithstanding, Agora is not satisfied with an intent
if the Speaker has objected to it in the last 48 hours.
A person CANNOT support or object to an announcement of intent
before the intent is announced, or after e has withdrawn the same
type of response.
}
with the following:
{
The above notwithstanding, if an action is to be performed without N
objections or with N Agoran consent, and an entity has ceased to be an
Objector to that intent within the past 24 hours, then Agora is not
Satisfied with that intent.
The above notwithstanding, Agora is not Satisfied with an intent if the
Speaker has become an Objector to it in the last 48 hours.
An entity is not considered a Supporter or Objector to an intent solely
due to a purported support or objection made before the intent was
announced. An entity is not considered a Supporter to an intent if e has
previously ceased to be a Supporter, and e is not considered an Objector
to an intent if e has previously ceased to be an Objector.
}
[In each paragraph, use Objector/Supportor status instead of evaluating
whether objections were withdrawn. For instance, it has been previously
pointed out (in private conversation) that the Speaker could potentially
completely block an intent by objecting multiple times. Additionally, in
the third paragraph, extend the restrictions to entities instead of just
persons (since the definition of Supporter/Objector applies to entities,
rather than persons).]

BUS: [DoV] Dodging an obstacle
I grant one Victory Point to myself (using my Legacy focus). I pay a set of 4 Victory Cards to gain 10 Victory Points. For the sole purpose of transferring the Trust (as defined under the Obstructive Pooling contract), I transfer 8 Victory Points to ATMunn. I transfer 8 Victory Points to the Obstructive Pooling contract, thereby gaining 80 Decipoints. As allowed by the Obstructive Pooling contract, I act on ATMunn's behalf to transfer 8 Victory Points from ATMunn to myself. If my math is right, I now have 23 Victory Points, ATMunn has 0, and the next-highest player balance is 3. I Take Over the Economy. -- Falsifian
