OFF: [Herald] Regarding the Birthday Tournament

2024-06-23 Thread secretsnail9 via agora-official
Calling all Agorans!

With Agora's birthday coming up, we need a tournament to run.

I've received a few ideas for the tournament, but there's still not much in
the works, so I'm calling for anyone with a tournament in mind to bring it
up!

"The Birthday Tournament's regulations SHOULD be such that all
  persons who choose to participate have a fair chance of winning
  the tournament (according to its regulations), and a winner
  SHOULD be expected within 2-3 weeks following the tournament's
  initiation."

Anything that fits these requirements is fair game, and the sooner the
better! (We have like 3 days if we want to start the tournament on the
birthday, but there's no harm if it takes a bit of time to smooth out any
loopholes and whatnot.)

Any other suggestions for festivities are also welcome. Here's to the
upcoming 31st Birthday of Agora!

[This gives us an easy way to refer to when the Stone sub-game last got
reset. This isn't proposing an immediate use for it, but it provides
something for future stone definitions to build off of.]

Amend rule 2644 (Zen Gardening) by replacing "all existing stones are
transferred to Agora" with "Agora Gets Stoned and all existing stones are
transferred to Agora"

Amend Rule 2644 by replacing the text "all existing stones are
transferred to Agora." with the text "all existing stones are
transferred to Agora, after which the Stone Cost of each stone is set to
its default value.".

stone to 10. [Reset after snail's win.]

Amend Rule 1681 ("The Logical Rulesets") by replacing the paragraph
containing "the rule's revision number" with the following paragraph:

{

The listing of each rule in the SLR must additionally include a revision
number selected by the Rulekeepor. The Rulekeepor SHOULD select revision
numbers such that they can be used retrospectively to determine that the
text of a rule has changed while it maintained the same ID number. The
Rulekeepor may exercise reasonable discretion in calculating revision
numbers.

[The idea: create some differences in value among stamp types, open up some
possibilities for deals (what if someone owns the second to last copy of a
stamp?), encourage uncommon stamps to circulate, and try to discourage
large numbers of stamp types sticking around forever. If a player only has
