Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

ID: 8866
Title: Restricted confederation
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: Aspen


Amend Rule 869 by replacing "Any entity (including a group of
confederated entities)" with "Any entity (including a group of entities
confederated with the intent of forming a single person under this Rule)".

[Requires intent for the formation of a group person. This prevents a
random group of people confederated for some other purpose (the example
initially raised was BlogNomic, or its set of players) from being
treated as a group person, unless they also wish to confederate for the
purposes of Agora.]

//
ID: 8867
Title: Expectations, Values, Bans, and Forgiveness
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: nix
Co-authors: Jason, R. Lee, Murphy, G.


[
The goal of this is to expand on our banning system and implement some
clearly defined values into the rules of Agora. This comprises two main
changes.

The first removes the "free speech" clause from R478 and replaces it
with a bill of expectations that largely seek to maximize participation
while recognizing ways in which that might reasonably be abridged.
Nothing here is strictly binding.

The second one expands on the banning system largely through guidelines.
It does not actually add any new mechanisms for banning or unbanning,
but offers a strongly-worded procedure for what should occur before a
ban, and what kind of actions might constitute bannable offenses. It
also adds an official mechanism to attempt to appeal a ban, and what
should be considered when such an attempt is received.

This is largely informed by Jason's current ban system, Murphy's
response to Anti-Cleisthenes, R. Lee's values proto, and parallel
discussions in other spaces. Hopefully I have done justice to everyone's
viewpoints.
]

Amend R478 by deleting the following text:

Freedom of speech being essential for the healthy functioning of
any non-Imperial nomic, it is hereby resolved that no Player shall
be prohibited from participating in the Fora, nor shall any person
create physical or technological obstacles that unduly favor some
players' fora access over others.

Enact a new Power=3 rule titled "Expectations of Participation" with the
following text:

An "Agoran forum" is a forum with publicity of discussion or
public. Players of Agora have the following expectations of agoran
fora:

* Agoran fora allow equal participation for all players, subject
  to the rules of Agora and the explicitly stated rules of the
  fora.

* The rules of participation in public fora are as closely
  aligned with the rules of Agora itself as possible; a player
  expects to be able to fully participate in all public fora as

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

  It is considered to be a player's Agoran Birthday on the

  first registered is unknown, that player CAN, with Agoran consent,
  declare a day to be eir Agoran Birthday. As long as the day a

  eir Agoran Birthday on the anniversary of the day e most recently
  declared as eir Agoran Birthday.
  
  During a player's Agoran Birthday and the 7 days following, each

EXPERIMENT 00060 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 1023
("Agoran Time"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 1023 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 1023/40 (Power=2)
Agoran Time

  The following terms are defined:
  
  1. The phrase "in a timely fashion" means "within 7 days". This
 time period is set when the requirement is created (i.e. X days
 before the limit ends). A requirement to perform an action at
 an exact instant (e.g. "when X, Y SHALL Z"), but not "in the
 same message", is instead interpreted as a requirement to
 perform that action in a timely fashion after that instant.
  
  2. The phrase "in an officially timely fashion" means "before the
 end of the next Agoran week". This time period is set when the
 requirement is created (i.e. between 7 and 14 days before the
 period ends).
  
  3. Agoran epochs:
  
   1. Agoran days begin at midnight UTC.
  
   2. Agoran weeks begin at midnight UTC on Monday. Eastman
  weeks begin at midnight UTC on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd,
  and 29th of each Gregorian month; the fifth one of the
  month (if any) lasts till the end of the month.
  
   3. Agoran months begin at midnight UTC on the first day of
  each Gregorian month.
  
   4. Agoran quarters begin when the Agoran months of January,
  April, July, and October begin.
  
   5. Agoran years begin when the Agoran month of January
  begins.
  
   6. A pivot is either the instant at which Agora Nomic began
  (June 30, 1993, 00:04:30 GMT +1200) or an instant at which
  at least one person won the game. When used as a period of
  time, a "Round" (historical syn: "game") is the period of
  time between a pivot and the next pivot.
  
 The "Agoran" qualifier is assumed unless a different definition
 is indicated (e.g. Eastman weeks). These definitions do not
 apply to relative durations (e.g. "within  days after
 ").
  
  4. Two points in time are within a month of each other if:
  
  1. they occur in the same Agoran month;
  
  2. they occur in two consecutive Agoran months, and the later
 of the two occurs in an earlier day in the month than the
 earlier one;
  
  3. they occur in two consecutive Agoran months on the same day
 of the month, and the later of the two occurs at the same
 or earlier time of day.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

OFF: [Stonemason] November Stone Auction

2022-11-12 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Wealth Stone], [Power Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM0 and AM5. In case of contradiction
between either the latest published ACORN or the platonic set of auction
regulations and the below text, the below text shall control.



Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Selective-bid Auctions

  Selective-bit auctions function like generalized auctions except:
  
  * Bidding messages on a selective-bid auction must also specify a
lot that is preferred.
  * One bid class exists for each lot of a given auction, with bids
falling into the class for the specified lot.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
placed the highest bid in the set of bids made by funded, non
withdrawn players whose preferred bid is the Nth lot.

EXPERIMENT 00058 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 591
("Delivering Judgements"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 591 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 591/49 (Power=1.7)
Delivering Judgements

  When a CFJ is open and assigned to a judge, that judge CAN assign
  a valid judgement to it by announcement, and SHALL do so in a
  timely fashion after this becomes possible.
  
  The valid judgements for an inquiry case are as follows, based on
  the facts and legal situation at the time the inquiry case was
  initiated, not taking into account any events since that time:
  
  * FALSE, appropriate if the statement was factually and
logically false.
  
  * TRUE, appropriate if the statement was factually and
logically true.
  
  * IRRELEVANT, appropriate if the veracity of the statement is
not relevant to the game or is an overly hypothetical
extrapolation of the game or its rules to conditions that don't
actually exist, or if it can be trivially determined from the
outcome of another (possibly still undecided) judicial case that
was not itself judged IRRELEVANT.
  
  * INSUFFICIENT, appropriate if the statement does not come
with supporting arguments or evidence, and the judge feels as if
an undue burden is being placed on em by the lack of arguments
and evidence. A CFJ judged as INSUFFICIENT SHOULD be submitted
again with sufficient arguments/evidence.
  
  * DISMISS, appropriate if the statement is malformed, undecidable,
if insufficient information exists to make a judgement with
reasonable effort, or the statement is otherwise not able to be
answered with another valid judgement. DISMISS is not
appropriate if PARADOXICAL is appropriate.
  
  * PARADOXICAL, appropriate if the statement is logically
undecidable as a result of a paradox or or other irresovable
logical situation. PARADOXICAL is not appropriate if IRRELEVANT
is appropriate, nor is it appropriate if the undecidability
arises from the case itself or in reference to it.
  
  If the judge of an open CFJ has not violated a time limit for
  assigning it a judgement, and has not previously filed a motion to
  either extend or reconsider the case, e CAN file a motion to
  extend the case by announcement. Doing so extends eir judgement
  deadline for that case by one week. In doing so, e SHOULD include
  a (nonbinding) draft or outline of eir current thoughts on the
  case.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

The October Stone auction's bidding period has ended. The auction began at 
04:15:00 on 2022-10-09, and
the bidding period ended at 22:08:01 on 2022-10-15, four days after the final

There were two lots: [Jockey Stone], [Recursion Stone].

This auction was a selective-bid auction. The awardees are as follows:

[Jockey Stone]-> snail for 122 coins
[Recursion Stone] -> snail for 122 coins

I perform the following actions if and only if they all succeed:
{
I destroy 122 of snail's coins.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

lots: [Jockey Stone], [Recursion Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM0 and AM5. In case of contradiction
between either the latest published ACORN or the platonic set of auction
regulations and the below text, the below text shall control.



Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Regulation AM5/3
Selective-bid Auctions

  Selective-bit auctions function like generalized auctions except:
  
  * Bidding messages on a selective-bid auction must also specify a
lot that is preferred.
  * One bid class exists for each lot of a given auction, with bids
falling into the class for the specified lot.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
placed the highest bid in the set of bids made by funded, non
withdrawn players whose preferred bid is the Nth lot.

EXPERIMENT 00054 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2480 
("Festivals"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 2480 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 2480/6 (Power=3.1)
Festivals

  Festivity is a secured singleton switch, whose possible values are
  integers ranging from 0 inclusive to the number of defined types
  of Ribbon exclusive, and defaulting to 0. Festivity is tracked in
  the Tailor's monthly report. In addition, while Festivity is
  non-zero, the Tailor SHALL announce its value each week; a public
  document purporting to be such an announcement is self-ratifying.
  
  If Agora's Festivity has had the same nonzero value for 14 days or
  more, or if it has a nonzero value and fewer than 5 players are
  Festive, then any player CAN flip it to 0 by announcement.
  
  A person whose Laudability is greater than or equal to Agora's
  Festivity is Festive. Any other person is not Festive.
  
  A player who would be Festive if the Festivity was N CAN Start a
  Rank N Festival, where N is an integer greater than Agora's
  Festivity, with 4 support from other players who would be Festive
  if the Festivity was N, except that a Rank N Festival CANNOT be
  started if Agora's Festivity has had a value grater than or equal
  to N in the past 21 days. Upon a Rank N Festival starting, Agora's
  Festivity is flipped to N.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Offices

  An Office is a position described as an Office by the Rules.
  Officeholder is an office switch tracked by the ADoP, with
  possible values of any person or "vacant" (default). An officer is
  the holder of an office, who may be referred to by the name of
  that office. If the holder of an office is ever not a player, it
  becomes vacant.
  
  An imposed office is an office described as such by the rule
  defining it. All others are elected. A person CANNOT be made the
  holder of an elected office without eir explicit or reasonably
  implied consent.
  
  The holder of an elected office CAN resign it by announcement,
  causing it to become vacant. The non-interim holder of an elected
  office CAN, with 3 support, resign the office while appointing
  another player to become the holder of the office, provided that
  other player is one of the Supporters. Any player CAN cause an
  office to become vacant without 2 objections.
  
  When a proposal takes effect and creates a new office, if the
  proposal does not specify otherwise, the author of that proposal
  becomes the holder of the office.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Correction (updating list of lots). The transfers here most likely do
nothing.

The September Stone auction's bidding period has ended. The auction began at 
21:09:50 on 2022-09-04, and
the bidding period ended at 21:10:47 on 2022-09-08, four days after the final 
bid by Jason.

There were two lots: [Wealth Stone], [Sabotage Stone].

This auction was a selective-bid auction. The awardees are as follows:

[Wealth Stone]   -> Jason for 1 coin
[Sabotage Stone] -> Jason for 1 coin

I perform the following actions if and only if they all succeed:
{
I destroy 1 of Jason's coins.
I cause the Wealth Stone to be transferred to Jason.

EXPERIMENT 00051 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 1698
("Agora Is A Nomic"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 1698 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 1698/7 (Power=4)
Agora Is A Nomic

  Agora is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable
  combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary rule changes
  to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted within a
  real-world (UTC) four-week period.
  
  If, but for this rule, the net effect of a proposal would cause
  Agora to become ossified, or would cause Agora to cease to exist,
  it cannot take effect, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. If
  any other single change or inseparable group of changes to the
  gamestate would cause Agora to become ossified, or would cause
  Agora to cease to exist, it is cancelled and does not occur, rules
  to the contrary notwithstanding.

"Creating and destroying blots is secured with a Power Threshold of 1.7"

//

Title: Unfortunately
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: 


Amend Rule 869 by appending the following paragraphs:
{
Banned is a secured negative boolean person switch tracked by the
Registrar. A person is unwelcome if e is Banned or if at least one part
of em is unwelcome. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, an unwelcome
person CANNOT register or be registered, and e is immediately
deregistered if e is ever a player. Designations of unwelcomeness are
secured.

Unwelcomeness is to be used only to make a social statement that the
Agoran community no longer wishes to interact with certain persons; in
particular, it is not to be used to acquire gameplay advantage. As such,
an unwelcome person SHOULD NOT, under any circumstances, attempt to
bypass unwelcomeness, and e SHOULD carefully consider the circumstances
of eir becoming unwelcome before participating in public or discussion fora.

Title: Attainder
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: 


For the purposes of this proposal, "Madrid" is the person who, at the
time of this proposal's submission, was a player and who was known as
"Madrid" to the average Agoran.

Madrid is hereby deregistered.
Madrid's instance of the Banned switch is hereby flipped to true.

[
This is a bill of attainder. Its purpose is to deregister and, if
possible, ban Madrid as a sanction for a series of incidents on the
lists and on the unofficial Discord server. This is not in response to
any single incident, but rather a pattern of behavior. This is
additionally not in response to Madrid's distaste for Spivak pronouns
itself, regardless of the timing of this submission.

Madrid's actions and views have resulted in two deregistrations (one
successful FAGE and one attempted FAGE that wasn't a FAGE due to a
technicality), hostile exchanges of words on list, and an atmosphere on

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

OFF: [Stonemason] September Stone Auction

2022-09-04 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Wealth Stone], [Sabotage Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM0 and AM5. In case of contradiction
between either the latest published ACORN or the platonic set of auction
regulations and the below text, the below text shall control.



Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Regulation AM5/3
Selective-bid Auctions

  Selective-bit auctions function like generalized auctions except:
  
  * Bidding messages on a selective-bid auction must also specify a
lot that is preferred.
  * One bid class exists for each lot of a given auction, with bids
falling into the class for the specified lot.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
placed the highest bid in the set of bids made by funded, non
withdrawn players whose preferred bid is the Nth lot.

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2576
("Ownership"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 2576 is reproduced below for convenience:


Rule 2576/3 (Power=3)
Ownership

  Each asset has exactly one owner.
  
  If ownership of an asset is restricted to a class of entities,
  then that asset CANNOT be gained by or transferred to an entity
  outside that class. By default, ownership of an asset is
  restricted to Agora, players, and contracts, but an asset's
  backing document may modify this.
  
  An asset "in abeyance" is one whose owner is nonexistent,
  indeterminate, or invalid. If an asset would otherwise be in
  abeyance, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if
  possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its
  backing document (provided that the modification either destroys
  it or prevents it from being in abeyance). Rules to the contrary
  notwithstanding, the Lost and Found Department can own assets of
  every type. Assets owned by the Lost and Found Department can be
  transferred or destroyed by any player without objection.

  Concentration Stone (monthly, 60%): A specified player (defaulting to the
  wielder if not specified) gains the Grant associated with eir Focus.
and replace it with:
  Jockey Stone (monthly, 60%): A specified Running horse's Race Position is
  increased by 1.

If at the time this proposal is adopted the Concentration Stone is owned
by a player, that player becomes the owner of the Jockey Stone. Otherwise,
Agora becomes the owner of the Jockey Stone.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  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.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.
