Title: The Big Horse Fix
Adoption Index: 1.0
Author: snail
Co-Author(s):


[== This first section is mostly small fixes.==]

Amend Rule 2668 (Horses) by replacing "Dollaries (singular: dollary) are a
fixed currency. Hooves (singular: hoof) are a fixed currency." with
"Dollaries (singular: dollary) are a fixed currency. Hooves (singular:
hoof) are a fixed currency. Any Dollaries or Hooves in abeyance or not
owned by a player are immediately destroyed."

[Clears hooves and dollaries from the L, where they are currently
unauctionable.]

Amend Rule 2672 (Weekly Race Action) by replacing "bet 1, 2, or 3 dollaries
on a specified horse by paying a fee of 1, 2, or 3 dollaries respectively."
with "bet 1, 2, or 3 dollaries on a specified Running horse by paying a fee
of 1, 2, or 3 dollaries respectively."

[It would be silly to bet on horses that have already finished in the race!]

Amend Rule 2673 (Motivating Horses) by replacing {

Each horse has an associated non-repeating set of horses, their "pulls",
tracked by the Horsened.

}

with {

Pulls (syn. pull) is a Horse switch, tracked by the Horsened. It has
possible values of any set of horses.

}

[Make pulls a switch instead of the nonsense from before.]

Amend Rule 2674 (Horse Powers) by replacing {

Fargo's power: (WEEKLY POWER)  * get a helmet for and bet 2
  dollaries on a specified horse, by paying 1 hoof.

}

with {

Fargo's power: (WEEKLY POWER)  * get a helmet for and then bet 2
  dollaries on a specified horse, by paying 1 hoof.

}

and by replacing {

Sugar's power: (WEEKLY POWER)  * get a helmet for and increase the
  Race Position of a specified horse by 1, by paying 1 hoof.

}

with {

Sugar's power: (WEEKLY POWER)  * get a helmet for and then increase the
  Race Position of a specified horse by 1, by paying 1 hoof.
}

[This should make it so you can't use these powers on horses you already
got a helmet for.]


[==These next changes have a larger mechanical impact.==]

Amend Rule 2672 (Weekly Race Action) by replacing

{
* gain 4 dollaries by announcement.
}

with

{
* gain 5 dollaries by paying 3 hooves.

* gain 1 hoof by announcement.
}

[This makes dollaries more scarce, and hooves a more important resource to
manage.]

Amend Rule 2499 (Welcome packages) by replacing

{
  * 1 Stamp of eir own type
}

with

{
  * 1 Stamp of eir own type
  * the number of hooves the player(s) with the most hooves has
}

[New players aren't behind in the hooves this way.]

Amend Rule 2670 (Horse Victory) by replacing

{
  * the player that owns the horse with a Race Place of first gains
50 dollaries.

  * the player that owns the horse with a Race Place of second gains
30 dollaries.

  * the player that owns the horse with a Race Place of third gains
15 dollaries.
}

with

{
  * the player that owns the horse with a Race Place of first gains
30 dollaries.

  * the player that owns the horse with a Race Place of second gains
20 dollaries.

  * the player that owns the horse with a Race Place of third gains
15 dollaries.
}

[This should balance horse ownership a bit more, and is especially needed
if dollary generation is being decreased.]

Certification

  For the Promotor to cause a proposal to become pending with 2+N
  support, where N is equal to the number of times e has done so in
  the past 7 days, is for em to certify it.
  
  A proposal is certifiable if:
  1. it is reasonably narrowly tailored to fix one or more problems,
 including a) bugs, b) errors, c) ambiguities, and d)
 vulnerabilities*; or
  2. unusual or exigent circumstance render it in the public
 interest for it to become pending via this method.
  
  * Note: Any of these problems may arise from a single source or
the interaction of multiple sources, which may be individually
unproblematic. This provision is to be interpreted broadly and
flexibly to effectuate its spirit.
  
  The Promotor SHOULD NOT certify a non-certifiable proposal.
  Players SHOULD support an intent to certify a proposal if and only
  if it is certifiable.
  
  The author of a proposal in the pool CAN, by announcement, request
  certification of the proposal, provided e does so in a message
  that has either "Promotor" or "Proposal" in the subject line; e
  SHOULD NOT do so unless e believes eir proposal is certifiable and
  is ENCOURAGED to explain why eir proposal is certifiable. Once
  certification is requested, the Promotor SHALL respond publicly
  before publishing the next report that contains the proposal,
  unless the proposal is withdrawn or pended in the interim.
  Petitioning the Promotor to certify a proposal is DEPRECATED.

Regulation PA1/0
Proposal Style Guide

  Players SHOULD format proposals in accordance with the following
  guidelines.  These guidelines represent the Promotor's preferred
  formatting. Most of these guidelines are flexible recommendations,
  but where something is marked as STRONGLY DISCOURAGED, doing it is
  actively inconvenient for the Promotor.
  
  I. Headers and Metadata.
  
  1. Format headers as close as possible to the heading used for
 distributions, which looks like this:
  
  Title: _
  Adoption index: _._
  Author: 
  Co-authors: , 
  
  To be clear:
  a) write the fields in that order;
  b) write out all the fields, even the ones that have default
 values; and
  c) write each field on its own line.
  
  2. a) Give proposals titles 35 characters or less.
 b) Giving proposals titles over 70 characters is STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED.  
  
  II. Bodies.
  
  1. Indent Proposals two spaces per indent level.
  
  2. a) Wrap proposal lines to 80 characters or less.
 b) Making it so the Promotor cannot wrap lines to 80 characters
or less is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED unless it is absolutely
unavoidable (e.g.  in the case of URLs).
  
  3. Players are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from placing markings that
 indicate the start of the proposal's text on the same line as
 the start of the text.
