Title: Increased collection
Adoption Index: 2.0
Author: Janet
Co-Author(s):
Amend Rule 2643 ("Collecting Stones") by replacing the final paragraph
with the following:
{
When a Collection Notice is published, for each player, half (rounded
up) of eir non-immune stones with slipperiness not less than the Escape
Minimum are transferred to Agora. A Collection Notice includes
selections of which eligible stones escape (which shall prevail in
determining which stones are transferred). the mossiness of each stone
that is not transferred is incremented by 1.

ensure only one can possible escape.]

Title: Clarify deputisation
Adoption Index: 3.0
Author: Murphy
Co-Author(s):
Amend Rule 2160 (Deputisation) to read:
A player acting as emself (the deputy) CAN perform an action
ordinarily reserved for an office-holder as if e held the office
if all of the following are true:
1) The rules require the holder of that office, by virtue of
holding that office, to perform the action. (This requirement
is fulfilled by the deputy performing the action.)
2) It would be POSSIBLE for the deputy to perform the action,
other than by deputisation, if e held the office.
3) The deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is
doing so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation.
4) The deputy has not held the office in the past 7 days.
(If the office is vacant, then the remaining items in this list
need not be true.)
5) A time limit by which the rules require the action to be
performed has expired.
6) The office's holder has not changed in the past 7 days.
7) Any of the following are true:
a) The deputy announced between 2 and 14 days earlier that
e intended to deputise for that office for the purposes
of the particular action.
b) The time limit expired between 14 and 28 days ago.
c) The time limit expired more than 28 days ago, and the
deputisation is temporary.
When a player deputises for an elected office, e becomes the
holder of that office, unless the deputisation is temporary,
and/or the action being performed would already install someone
into that office.

Caller's Arguments:
Obviously, Ministry Focus is not defined anywhere. If these
terms had an ordinary meaning they would take it, but I think they should
be discounted as meaningless gibberish. What's left is the fact that a
player can grant someone a Device once a month. What it means to 'grant'
someone a Device is difficult, but the ordinary meaning of the term is to
give ownership. And if I own a Device, it would seem I could activate some
of the powers of Devices, as ownership usually grants control.
--
Judge ais523's Arguments:
In order to resolve this CFJ, we need to be clear on what a device
actually is. Rule 2654 has somehow managed to avoid defining it.
However, rule 2655 does contain a definition: "The device is a
singleton switch with values off (default) and on."
It's clear from this definition that there was, at one time, only one
device, and it would be hard to create more without a rule permitting
it (and such a rule would probably have to take precedence over the
implication in rule 2655 that there were only one such device).
Although rule 2654 could potentially be read as permitting the creation
of devices, it also gives a lot of requirements on how this is done
(e.g. it requires a vote, and must be made via an unpredictable
process) – those requirements don't seem to have been satisfied here,
and thus a device can't have been created. I think this argument is
strong enough to interpret rule 2654 via using an interpretation in
which "granting" Devices isn't a method of creating them (either
directly, or at worst via a rule 217 tiebreak); however, even if I'm
wrong on this, rule 2240 implies that rule 2654's requirements on how
to create a Device take precedence over any permission it might give to
create one.
In other words, the only way this CFJ could be true would be if rule
2654 somehow grants ownership and control of *the existing* device, the
one that's a singleton switch. When we talk about possession of
switches, normally we're talking about the entity that that switch
pertains to, e.g. "ais523's registration switch" is the switch that
controls whether I'm a player or not. Rule 2162 defines "singleton
switch" as "a switch for which Agora Nomic is the only entity
possessing an instance of that switch.", also using "possession"
terminology. Thus, it's clear that ownership of the device previously
resided with Agora, and thus the "ownership" part of the CFJ statement
collapses to "I have taken possession of the device from Agora.".
Although rule 2655 defines the device as belonging to Agora, rule 2654
has higher precedence (by rule 1030 – same power, lower ID number), and
thus can override it if necessary. However, the relevant part of rule
2654 seems to have a requirement on the device's previous owner:
{{{
A player CAN once a month grant eir Ministry Focus' Device to
a specified player by announcement.
]}}
This is clearly using possessive language, so this grant can only work
if the device belongs to the player's Ministry Focus. As mentioned, the
device was previously posessed by Agora (by definition, Agora was the
only entity possessing a device!), so for the "I now own..." part of
the statement to be valid, the

The purpose of the Dragon Corporation is to earn as much money as possible for its shareholders. All other provisions of this contract notwithstanding, this contract does not permit any entity to act on behalf of any other entity. Shares of Dragon stock (also known as "shares of DRGN", or, in this contract, "shares") are a currency whose purpose is to represent ownership of the Dragon Corporation. An entity which owns at least one share is known as a shareholder. If, at any time, the Dragon Corporation or the Lost and Found Department owns any shares, then those shares are destroyed. Any person CAN, by announcement, become a party to this contract or cease to be a party to this contract. A shareholder who is a party to this contract is known as a member. Wherever this contract states that an entity becomes a party to this contract or ceases to be a party to this contract, all parties to this contract are considered to consent to this change. ## Bylaw 2: Proposals Any member CAN, by announcement, submit a Corporate Proposal. A Corporate Proposal must have exactly one of the types defined by this contract. Thereafter, any member CAN vote FOR or AGAINST that proposal by announcement, or retract such a vote, which causes the vote to become null and void. Whenever a member votes, all of eir previous votes on the same proposal are implicitly retracted. If a Corporate Proposal was submitted fewer than 21 days ago and has approval (as defined in other bylaws), and the proposal has not been applied, then any member may, by announcement, apply the proposal, which has effects as defined in other bylaws. Members SHALL NOT submit, vote for, or apply proposals that are egregiously unfair to other shareholders (such as a proposal which takes or revokes shares from minority shareholders without just compensation). ## Bylaw 3: Amendment Proposals An Amendme
