I have the dream of gardens, which allows me to "by announcement, transfer the mossiest stone (if there is a tie, then a specified stone tied for mossiest) Agora owns to emself." -- snail

The Mason's stone both does nothing and will generally be owned by me, and thus count towards the 30-day lockout for getting actually useful stones. -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Mad Engineer, Rulekeepor, Stonemason

EXPERIMENT 00069 RULE SELECTION
As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2641
("Wielding Stones"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.
Please send suggestions if you have them!
The text of Rule 2641 is reproduced below for convenience:
Rule 2641/2 (Power=2)
Wielding Stones
Except as otherwise specified by the rules, the owner of a stone
CAN wield it by announcement specifying any values needed to
interpret the stone's effects.
A stone with a frequency that has been wielded in the corresponding
Agoran time interval is Hot for the remainder of the time period
(e.g. if the frequency is daily, it is hot for the remainder of the
Agoran day it was wielded during).
While a stone is hot, it is IMPOSSIBLE to wield it or to transfer
it by announcement
When a stone is wielded, the Rule defining that stone applies any
effects that it defines as occurring when the stone is wielded.
The wielding of stones is secured.
Except as otherwise specified by the rules, the owner of a device
CAN wield it by announcement specifying any values needed to
interpret the device's effects.
When a device is wielded, the Rule defining that device applies any
effects that it defines as occurring when the device is wielded.

Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, an impure person CANNOT win

The voting strength of a player on an Agoran decision is reduced
by 1 for every 3 blots in eir possession.
A player CAN, with 7 days notice, deregister (exile) a specified
player (the outlaw) who has more than 40 blots.
