Here's a draft, any corrections appreciated. Note that I have removed
the pend fee column, because there is only one way to pend a proposal
at the moment.

Thank you,

ID: 8033
Title: Gray Land and the Fountain
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Kenyon
Co-authors: Aris, Cuddle Beam, Gaelan, Trigon


Amend "Land Types" (Power=2.0):
Replace "whose values are "Black", "White", and "Aether"", with the
text "whose values are "Black", "White", "Gray", and "Aether""

Create a new rule "Facility Categories", (Power=2.0):
A facility's Category is a switch whose possible values are
“Production”, “Processing”, “Monument”, and “Miscellaneous”.  An “x
facility”, where x is a Category, refers to a facility that has
Category switch set to x.

Amend "Asset Generation with Facilities" (Power=2.0) to read the following:
  When an Production or Processing facility creates assets, the assets
  are added to the facility's possession. The rule that creates an
  Production or Processing facility CAN specify a carrying capacity for
  assets. If, at any time, the amount of an asset in the possession of an
  Production or Processing facility exceeds that asset's carrying
  capacity, an amount of that asset is destroyed until the amount of that
  asset in the possession of the facility is equal to its carrying
  capacity.

  At the end of every Agoran Week, Agora creates a number of assets in a
  Production facility specified by the rule which creates the facility.

  At the end of every Agoran Week, Agora destroys any refinable assets in
  the possession of each Processing facility that that facility can
  change into refined assets and replaces them with a corresponding
  number of refined assets to be specified by the rule that creates the
  facility.

   A player can take a number of assets from an Production or Processing
   facility's inventory by announcement if eir location is the same as
   the facility's and the following criteria are met:
   1. if the facility is built on unconserved Public Land, none.
   2. if the facility is built on preserved Public Land and less than
   four days have passed since assets were created in the facility most
   recently, e must not have taken any assets from the inventory of
   another facility located on a preserved Land Unit within this Agoran
   week.
   3. if the facility is built on Communal Land, e must be a party to
   that contract and the text of the contract must permit em to do so.
   4. if the facility is built on Private Land, e must own the facility,
   or the owner must have consented.

Amend "Facility Ranks" (Power=2.0) to read the following:
  Rank is a facility switch tracked by the Cartographor defaulting to 1.
  Its possible values include all integers between 1 and 5, inclusive.

  If a facility specifies upgrade costs, a player CAN increase the rank
  of a facility e owns that is at eir location by exactly 1 by
  announcement by paying any upgrade costs of the facility for that
  specific rank. If no upgrade costs are specified for a facility, a
  player CANNOT increase the rank of that facility unless specified in
  other rules.

Create a new rule "Facility Colors" (Power=2.0):
  A facility's Allowed Land Types is a switch with allowed values of a
  list of allowed values of the Land Type switch, with a default value of
  {"Black", "White"}. A facility may not have a Parent Land Unit whose
  Land Type is not an element of their Allowed Land Types. If an action
  or set of actions would cause a facility to be created with a Parent
  Land Unit whose Land Type is not an element of its Allowed Land Types,
  that action or set of actions fails. If a facility's Parent Land Unit's
  Land Type is flipped to a color that is not in that facility's Allowed
  Land Types, that facility is destroyed.

DIS: Draft Promotor Report, and Related News

2018-01-14 Thread Aris Merchant
A draft report is below, but first some news items:

1. If anyone wants to add one of the proposals resolved as no quorum
back and pend it, now would be a good time. I didn't see any point in
adding them back, but if someone wants to preserve the metadata I can
do that (Rule 2350).

2 I'd like to solicit ideas about which proposal should be 8000. I
think it ought to be something befitting the honor, but none of the
current batch are obvious candidates (with no offense intended to any
of their authors). If someone wants to write a ceremonial resolution
or something like that, I'd be happy to pay the pend fee and a small
reward. Otherwise, I'd appreciate suggestions on which existing
proposal to assign that number.

Thank you,
Aris

Change the title of Rule 2125, "Regulation Regulations", to "Regulated Actions".

Amend Rules 2125 and 1023 by changing all instances of the word "regulated" to
"restricted", and all instances of the word "unregulated" to "unrestricted".

Amend Rule 2143, "Official Reports and Duties," by changing all instances of the
word "regulations" to "restrictions".

Create a new power 3.1 rule entitled "Regulations", with the flowing text:

  A Regulation is an instrument defined as such by this rule. A regulation
  allows an officer (known as the Promulgator) to exercise rule defined powers.
  A regulation is in effect continuously from the time of its creation to the
  time of either its revocation or the repeal of the rule that allowed for its
  creation. When recommending a regulation, its Promulgator must specify by
  number the rule(s) upon which it is based (the parent rules), the list of
  which becomes an integral part of the regulation. The list of rules can
  generally be modified by the Promulgator according to the procedure for text
  changes.

  A regulation must be authorized by at least one rule in order for it to exist.
  A regulation has effect on the game (only) insofar as the rule or rules that
  authorized it permit it to have effect, and a regulation generally inherits
  the power of its least powerful parent rule, unless its Promulgator defines
  a lower power. If reasonably possible, a regulation should be
  interpreted so as to defer to other rules. The procedure for resolving
  conflict between regulations is the same as it is for rules.

  Regulations are generally issued according to the following procedures,
  and they can be repealed by the announcement of their Promulgator. Alternate
  procedures may be used if provided for by all of the regulations's parent
  rules. If one parent rule specifies procedures that are more stringent than
  those that the other(s) specifies, those apply. Creating, modifying, revoking,
  or allowing for a regulation is secured at power 1.

  A regulation (or set of regulations), authorized by another rule, may
  generally be enacted or modified by its promulgator without 2 objections,
  or with Agoran consent. A notice pursuant to the previous sentence is
  known as a "recommendation", and the regulation(s) are said to be
  "recommended" to Agora.


Create a new power 1 rule, entitled "The Regkeepor", with the following text:

  The Regkeepor is an office, responsible for the maintenance of the
  Regulations. The Regulations are contained in the Regkeepor's weekly report,
  know as the Agora Nomic Code of Regulations (ACORN). E MAY publish multiple
  versions or editions of the ACORN.

  The ACORN is divided into titles, assigned by the Regkeepor, which are
  each given an integer.  Generally, each office with the power to create
  regulations SHOULD be assigned the next successive natural number. Title 0 of
  the ACORN is reserved for use by the Regkeepor, and nothing in that title
  need be a regulation. Non-regulations printed in the ACORN
  have no binding effect, and SHALL clearly be marked by the Regkeepor.

  Each regulation SHALL be assigned an ID number by the Regkeepor, consisting
  of a string of the characters [0-9] and separator characters. The Regkeepor
  SHOULD establish some way of keeping track of the version of a regulations.
  The Regkeepor MAY also, at eir discretion, create ways of marking special
  types of Regulation (even in violation of the previous restrictions of this
  paragraph), mark sections or titles as reserved for future use, and
  make such other discussions of arrangement, annotation, and marking as are
  necessary and proper in the execution of eir duties.

  The Regkeepor SHOULD remember that the purpose of the ACORN is to make the
  regulations easily readable, and e SHALL not act in a manner intended to
  deceive others in eir official capacity.

ID: pp1
Title: Readr's Digest
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Ienpw III
Co-author(s):


Enact a new rule entitled "Reader's Digest": {
  There exists an elected office called Digestive System. "Digestibility" is a
  singleton switch tracked by the Digestive System with possible values
  "MONTHLY" and "WEEKLY"; the Digestive System can flip this by announcement.

  The Digestive System SHALL regularly issue a report which accurately
  summarizes the state and activities of Agoranomic throughout the relevant
  period. This report need not be comprehensive, but will contain that
  information, as assessed by the Digestive System, which would be of the
  greatest relevance or importance for a player who had been inattentive to the
  state of the nomic during the relevant period. If Digestibility is MONTHLY,
  the relevant period is the preceding month; if it is WEEKLY, it is the
  preceding week.
}

ID: pp2
Title: No Sneakiness
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Gaelan
Co-author(s):


Create a rule “No Sneakiness” with the following text: {
  If the rules specify that an action may be performed by sending a message to
  a public forum, any attempts to perform the action in a way that is clearly
  intended to prevent others from detecting the action (such as by embedding it
  in another, longer message) are INEFFECTIVE.
}

//
ID: pp3
Title: Deregistration and Assets
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: o
Co-author(s): Aris


Amend rule 2485, "You can't take it with you", by changing its title to
"You Can't Take It With You", then by changing the text to read, in
full:

   "Heir" is a person switch, tracked by the Registrar, whose value is
   either Agora (the default value), or a player other than emself, or
   an Organization. A player may flip eir Heir by announcement.

   When a player is deregistered, e automatically pays all of eir
   Shinies and transfers all of eir Estates to eir Heir, immediately
   before deregistration.

Amend rule 2461 ("Death and Birth of Organizations") by changing its
power to 2, then by adding the following paragraph between the
paragraph beginning "If an Organization's Income is ever lower [...]"
and the paragraph beginning "If a player's Expenditure is at most
[...]":

   Immediately before an Organization is destroyed, it automatically
   pays all of its Shinies to Agora, and transfers all of its Estates
   to Agora.

//
ID: pp4
Title: Organization Integration and Stamp Collecting
Adoption index: 1.2
Author: nichdel
Co-author(s):


Amend "Organizations" by replacing the second, third, and fourth
paragraphs with:

   Players may become members of an organization by announcement as
   specified by the charter of the organization. Players may stop being
   a member of an organization by announcement.

   An organization may cause any player to stop being a member as
   specified in its charter.

[Remove Budget and make org membership more flexible.]

Amend "Death and Birth of Organizations to read, in full:

   The Administrative Fee is 5 shinies.

   An organization is "In Bad Standing" if it a) has no members or b)
   was not created this month and has not paid the Administrative Fee to
   Agora.

   If an organization is In Bad Standing for more than 7 days, then any
   player CAN destroy it by announcement, and the Secretary SHALL do so
   in a timely fashion if the situation persists.

   Any player CAN create an Organization by announcement by paying the
   Administrative Fee to Agora and specifying a name for the
   Organization that is unique among Organizations and a Charter.

[Replaces Budget with the Administrative Fee. Combined with giving org's
more control over their membership, it allows for orgs to raise money
and pay the fee in whichever way seems appropriate to them. Also removed
the limits on org membership

Title: Close Ancient Loopholes
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: ais523

Amend rule 879 so that it has the following text:
{{{
  Each Agoran Decision has a quorum. This is a number set when the
  decision is created, and thereafter cannot be changed. When a
  person initiates an Agoran Decision, that person SHALL state the
  quorum of that decision. However, incorrectly stating the quorum
  of a decision does not invalidate the initiation, nor does it
  actually change the quorum of the decision.

  The quorum that an Agoran Decision gains as it is created can be
  defined by other rules of power 2 or greater. If no other rule
  defines the quorum of an Agoran Decision, the quorum for that
  decision is equal to the number of players who voted on the
  Agoran Decision to adopt a proposal that had been most recently
  resolved at the time of that decision's initiation, minus 2.

  As an exception to the previous paragraph, the quorum of an
  Agoran Decision can never be less than 2. If the rules would
  attempt to set the quorum of an Agoran Decision to less than 2,
  it is set to 2 instead.
}}}

Amend rule 955 by replacing the text:
{{{
  - If there is more than one option, and the number of valid
ballots is less than quorum, the outcome is instead FAILED
QUORUM.
}}}
with:
{{{
  - If there is more than one option, and the number of valid
ballots is less than the quorum of that decision, the outcome
is instead FAILED QUORUM.

Amend rule 683, by replacing the last paragraph with:
{{{
  A valid ballot is a ballot, correctly submitted, that has not
  been withdrawn. During the voting period of an Agoran decision,
  a player CAN by announcement withdraw (syn. retract) a ballot
  that e submitted on that decision. To "change" one's vote is to
  retract eir previous ballot (if any), then submit a new one.
}}}

Amend rule 2445 so that it has the following text:
{{{
  Imminence is a switch, tracked by the Promotor, possessed by
  proposals in the Proposal Pool, whose value is either "pending"
  or "not pending" (default).

  Pending List Price is an integer switch, tracked by the Promotor,
  whose default value is 5. At the beginning of every month, the
  Pending List Price is set to 90% of the mean of the price paid
  for each proposal pended in the previous month, rounded down. If
  less than 2 proposals were pended in the previous month, the
  Pending List Price is set to its default.

  Any player CAN pay Agora a specified amount, which is no less
  than the Pending List Price, to flip a proposal's imminence
  to "pending" by announcement. If the specified amount is less
  than the Pending List Price, then the attempt to pay is
  INEFFECTIVE, and the proposal's imminence is not flipped.

deleting all paragraphs that contain the word "imminence", and then
inserting the following paragraphs at the end:
