It would theoretically give the Stonemason first dibs after collection
notices.

Unofficial CoE, accepted: "Date of this report" should have been
2023-01-22.

(The script that generated the report uses the most recent event date,
which is appropriate for the web site to not seem more up-to-date than
it is, but potentially needs to be tweaked when copy/pasting it into
e-mail. It usually isn't an issue for ADoP because there are usually
some events earlier that day anyway, but I've got a thing this afternoon
so I worked on it earlier than usual.)

EXPERIMENT 00070 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2630
("The Administrative State"). 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 2630 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 2630/2 (Power=2.0)
The Administrative State

   Each officer CAN, with 1.5 Agoran consent, enact, amend, or repeal
   eir own office's Administrative Regulations. If e has won an
   election for the office in the last 7 days, e CAN repeal them by
   announcement.  Administrative Regulations have the following
   properties:
   
   1. An officer SHALL NOT violate requirements in eir office's

  administrative regulations clearly intended to be punishable as
  rules violations in the discharge of eir office.
   2. Any player CAN act on behalf of an officer to exercise eir
  official powers as authorized by eir office's administrative
  regulations.
   3. All players SHOULD abide by an officer's administrative
  regulations in matters relating to eir area of responsibility.


Each officer CAN, with 1.5 Agoran consent, enact, amend, or repeal eir
own office's devices.

Is this actually true? I thought that had something to do with auctions,

actually putting the Stonemason on different footing may have been

Seems like just repealing it would fix both issues. Does being the
Stonemason give any advantage on the 30-day thing? Again, I suspect
it was originally enacted to solve some problem that no longer exists.
