EXPERIMENT 00071 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2575
("The Distributor"). 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 2575 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 2575/3 (Power=3)
The Distributor

   The Distributor is an imposed office whose holder is generally
   responsible for the management of the primary Agoran fora. The
   holder CANNOT be changed except without objection or by proposal.
   Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Distributor CANNOT
   deregister or be deregistered.


The device CANNOT be changed except without objection or by proposal.

I object. I'm not sure why a buff should retroactively apply to you. You
didn't do so under a misunderstanding of the dream as-is, IIRC.

Vote on Proposals: May want to explain PRESENT as "you just count toward
the minimum number of voters", and endorse as "you vote the same way
they do".

Submit Proposals: May want to add "[proposal]" to the template at the
end, and also explain "if your proposal would add/change/remove any rule
with Power > 1, then you need to request an Adoption Index to match, or
it won't work". May also want to move this to "Things to Do Once You

Is this actually true? I thought that had something to do with auctions,
which were repealed about a month ago, and any rule or regulation
actually putting the Stonemason on different footing may have been
repealed earlier than that (I spot-checked about four months back but
didn't spot anything relevant).

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.

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it was originally enacted to solve some problem that no longer exists.



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


How about just disallowing transfers within 24 hours after a collection
notice, or something like that?
