Re: OFF: [Treasuror] [Auction Regulations] Fixes for real this time

I intend to apply the following, with 2 Agoran consent, as a single 
amendment to Regulation AM0:

[ Comment: Makes the post-auction phase a lot more convenient for all
   involved. ]

In AM0, replace the paragraph beginning "DISTRIBUTION:" with the
following two paragraphs:

   RESOLUTION: The auctioneer for an auction SHALL, during that
   auction's retrieval period, create a public message (henceforth
   the "resolution message") that contains a full history of bids on
   the auction and withdrawals from the auction. It must also clearly
   indicate who each awardee would be if all players were funded, as
   well as the lot each one would recieve. Failing to publish a
   resolution message constitutes the Class 3 Crime of Auction
   Negligence.

   DISTRIBUTION: In a timely fashion after the retrieval period for
   an auction ends, that auction's auctioneer CAN and SHALL, for each
   awardee in that auction, destroy the amount to be paid from the
   inventory of that awardee and transfer to that player (or create
   in eir possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
   with the lot e won. Failing to create or transfer items as
   described in this paragraph constitutes the Class 3 Crime of
   Auction Abandonment.

[ Comment: Fixes an issue introduced in the last round of amendments
   which removed the requirement to specify an amount of currency in a
   bid. It is almost certainly meaningless because all the regulations
   dealing with what the bid means specify "that bid's amount," so any
   bids not specifying an amount of currency don't really mean anything.
   If that doesn't protect us, the good faith clause does. ]

In that same regulation, replace the text of the paragraph beginning 
"BIDDING:" with:


   BIDDING: Players CAN place a bid on an auction in its bidding
   period by creating a public message (henceforth a "bid message")
   specifying an amount of that auction's currency. Players CAN
   withdraw from an open auction by announcement.


*sigh*

I chose to send this using the "Edit as New Message" feature of 
Thunderbird, but I failed to change the addressee and the subject.


I intend to apply the quoted section, with 2 Agoran consent, as a single 
amendment to Regulation AM0.




Having recieved one support (Jason), and zero objections, I do so.

Title: ROCKS ROCKS ROCKS

Author: R. Lee
Co-author(s):


Amend rule 2642, 'Distributing Stones' by replacing its second paragraph
with 'The Stonemason SHALL if possible initiate such an auction monthly and
only once a month, in a timely fashion after a collection notice has been
issued. The Stonemason SHALL auction exactly 2 stones in a month if
possible'

Retitle rule 2644 'The Gauntlet' to 'Zen Gardening' [cosmetic change to
remove the annoying movie reference that I discussed once on discord]

Amend rule 2644 by replacing any instances of the word 'Gauntlet' with
'Rock Garden' [sorry for the bad way of putting this, but this rule might
get amended soon so I have to do it for safety]

Amend rule 2644 by replacing '5 or more' with '8 or more' [If there are 10
stones you should need more to win obviously'

Amend rule 2645 'The Stones' by adding the following text on the end.
"-  Recursion Stone (Monthly, 80%): The recursion stone can be wielded once
per
month as if it had the power of any other stone of your choice.

- Hot Potato Stone (Weekly, 100%): You must transfer this stone to a player
of your choice
who has never owned this stone since the last time agora has owned it. Then
the original wielder gains 8 boatloads of coins.
SPECIAL RULE: Other rules notwithstanding, this stone never escapes as long
as at least three players have owned it in the last Agoran month

Blank Stone (Monthly, 5%): This stone has no effect.

Alchemy Stone (weekly, 70%): Destroy four cards you own. If four cards were
destroyed this way, gain 7 products of your choice"
