Title: Simpler ribbon switches

Author: Murphy
Co-authors: R. Lee


Amend Rule 2438 (Ribbons) by replacing this text:

  Ribbon Ownership is a secured person switch, tracked by the
  Tailor in eir monthly report, whose values are the subsets of
  the set of types of Ribbon, defaulting to the empty set. If the
  rules are amended to change the types of Ribbon, if a player's
  Ribbon Ownership is subsequently illegal, then it is updated by
  removing all nonexistent types rather than resetting the entire
  value to default.

  To "award a person a " is to add that type of Ribbon
  to that person's Ribbon Ownership. A person "owns a "
  if that type of Ribbon is an element of eir Ribbon Ownership.

with this text:

  For each type of Ribbon,  Ribbon Ownership is a secured
  negative boolean person switch, tracked by the Tailor in eir
  monthly report.

  To "award a person a " is to flip that person's
   Ribbon Ownership to True. A person "owns a " if eir  Ribbon Ownership is True.

and by replacing this text:

  While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a
  Banner by announcement. This causes that person to win the game.
  That person's Ribbon Ownership becomes the empty set.

with this text:

  While a person owns all types of Ribbon, that person can Raise a
  Banner by announcement. This causes that person to win the game.
  When a person wins this way, for each type of Ribbon, that
  person's  Ribbon Ownership is flipped to False.

For each type of Ribbon, for each person whose Ribbon Ownership prior to
the adoption of this proposal included that type, flip eir 
Ribbon Ownership to True.

Title: Clarify asset ownership
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Murphy
Co-authors: CuddleBeam


Amend Rule 2576 (Ownership) to read:

  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.

  If an asset's owner would otherwise be nonexistent, indeterminate,
  or invalid, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if
  possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its
  backing document. 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.

[This proposal implements a 3 coin, 2 apple reward for each captured

Amend the rule 1998 "Land Topology" to read in full:

  Two Units of Land are Adjacent if they have the same Latitude, and their
  Longitudes differ by exactly one; or they have the same Longitude, and
  their Latitudes differ by exactly one.

  Land Unit A is said to be connected to Land Unit B if it is possible to
  reach B by moving only to adjacent Land Units of the same Land Type,
  starting from A.

  [Here I changed color to Land Type, as color is not defined. So far, it
  didn't break anything, as no LUs were to be changed into Aether]

  A set Land Units is said to be a Subgroup if all of these Land Units have
  the same Land Type are connected to each other.

  A Subgroup is said to be a Group if no set exists such that:
1) Its elements are all Land Units of that Subgroup and at least one Land
Unit not an element of that Subgroup.
2) It is a Subgroup.

[Group = a group of stones in Go]

Amend the rule 2022 "Land Transfiguration" to read in full:

[Changing it so that it happens automatically]

At the end of the second Eastman week of each Agoran Month, the following
happens in sequence:

  1. Every Land Unit, with a preservation switch of False that is not
 directly connected to a unit of Aether, or is not connected by its
 own type to a unit of Aether, shall be transformed to Aether.

 For every Land Unit that has its type changed to Aether by this
 procedure, the player who most recently changed the Land Type of any
 Land Unit such that it is an element of the Full Group of the transformed
 Land Unit or adjacent to any of the Land Units of the Full Group of the
 transformed Land Unit, among the players who aren't Cartographor, receives
 3 coins and 2 apples.

  2. Any entities whose locations are on land units so transformed
 shall have their locations set to (0, 0).

  3. If any land unit so transformed is not property of Agora, it
 becomes property of Agora.

  The Cartographor SHALL announce all of these changes in a timely manner.

[The Asset-nature of pledges is complicated and serves no purpose;
if pledges are to be used for out-of-Agora agreements, the Agoran
Consent constraint makes no sense as it's not a voting matter].

Amend Rule 2450 (Pledges) to read in full:

  If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform
  (or refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the
  pledge within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of
  Oathbreaking, where N is 2 unless the pledge explicitly states
  otherwise.  The time window of a pledge is 60 days, unless
  the pledge explicitly states otherwise.

  If breaking the pledge harms specific other parties, the Referee
  SHOULD solicit the opinion of those parties in determining an
  appropriate fine.

  The Notary's Weekly Report includes a copy of all pledges that
  are within their time window, and the dates the pledges were
  made.

All pledges that existed as assets the instant before this Proposal
took effect are considered to have been made as pledges under the
current version of Rule 2450.

  Each Agoran decision has a voting method, which must be
  AI-majority, instant runoff, or first-past-the-post. The voting
  method is that specified by the authorizing authority, or
  first-past-the-post by default.

  Each Agoran decision has a set of valid options (the choices that
  the voters are being asked to select from) and valid votes (the
  ways in which the voters can express their opinion or lack thereof.
  For AI-majority decisions, the valid options are FOR and AGAINST;
  for other decisions, the valid options are defined by other rules.

  The valid votes on an Agoran decision are:
  1. PRESENT;
  2. The valid conditional votes, as defined by rules of power at
 least that of this rule; and
  3. For an instant runoff decision, the ordered lists of entities.
  4. For any other decision, the valid options.

[This splits off the portion of 955 that isn't actually related to
 resolution. The definition of instant runoff is changed to evaluate
 validity of options at the end of the voting period, and avoid
 retroactively invalidating votes if an option drops out.]

Amend Rule 955 by replacing the second paragraph and numbered list with
the following and by deleting the second bullet in the unnumbered list.
  1. For an AI-majority decision, let F be the total strength of all
 valid ballots cast FOR a decision, A be the same for AGAINST,

Title: Regulations v3
Adoption index: 3.1
Author: Aris
Co-authors: o, nichdel


Change the title of Rule 2125, "Regulation Regulations", to "Regulated Actions".

Amend Rules 2125 and 1023 by changing all instances of the word "regulated" to
"restricted", and all instances of the word "unregulated" to "unrestricted".

Amend Rule 2143, "Official Reports and Duties," by changing all instances of the
word "regulations" to "restrictions".

Create a new power 3.1 rule entitled "Regulations", with the flowing text:

  A Regulation is an instrument defined as such by this rule. A regulation
  allows an officer (known as the Promulgator) to exercise rule defined powers.
  A regulation is in effect continuously from the time of its creation to the
  time of either its revocation or the repeal of the rule that allowed for its
  creation. When recommending a regulation, its Promulgator must specify by
  number the rule(s) upon which it is based (the parent rules), the list of
  which becomes an integral part of the regulation. The list of rules can
  generally be modified by the Promulgator according to the procedure for text
  changes.

  A regulation must be authorized by at least one rule in order for it to exist.
  A regulation has effect on the game insofar as the rule or rules that
  authorized it permit it to have effect, and a regulation generally inherits
  the power of its least powerful parent rule, unless its Promulgator defines
  a lower power. Regulations shall generally be adjudicated as if they were a
  part of their (least powerful) parent rule, except that their parent rule(s)
  always supersedes them. If reasonably possible, a regulation should be
  interpreted so as to defer to other rules. The procedure for resolving
  conflict between regulations is the same as it is for rules.

  Regulations are generally issued according to the following procedures,
  and they can be repealed by the announcement of their Promulgator. Alternate
  procedures may be used if provided for by all of the regulations's parent
  rules. If one parent rule specifies procedures that are more stringent than
  those that the other(s) specifies, those apply. Creating, modifying, revoking,
  or allowing for a regulation is secured at power 1.

  A regulation (or set of regulations) may generally be enacted or modified
  without 2 objections, or with Agoran consent. A notice pursuant to the
  previous sentence is known as a "recommendation", and the regulation(s)
  are said to be "recommended" to Agora.


Create a new power 1 rule, entitled "The Regkeepor", with the following text:

  The Regkeepor is an office, responsible for the maintenance of the
  Regulations. The Regulations are contained in the Regkeepor's weekly report,
  know as the Agora Nomic Code of Regulations (ACORN). E MAY publish multiple
  versions or editions of the ACORN.

  The ACORN is divided into titles, assigned by the Regkeepor, which are

  Mode is a rule switch with values Normal (default) and

  above and the content of such rules, the scope of Define-Only
  rules is limited to providing definitions intended for use by
  other rules.  If a Define-Only rule would have any other effect,
  that effect is nullified; however, if possible, it should be
  interpreted so that it does not have any other effect (e.g. by
  interpreting other effects as part of the definition, not
  enforced by the rule itself).

[The last part is important: it prevents things like "thereby allows
em" in Rule 1728 from being interpreted as "thereby *does
successfully* allow em, with Power-3 force".  I've always been unsure
about that wording.  Similarly, it should ensure that "it comes to

ergs, destroy a specified Barrel. When a Barrel is destroyed in this way,
all the Monkeys inside that Barrel are also destroyed. A Player CAN destroy
any specified Monkey in any specified Barrel e owns by announcement.

At the start of each week, all Monkeys not in Barrels are destroyed and
then three Monkeys are created in the possession of each Player. A Player
may add a Monkey e owns to any Barrel by announcement.

Any Player CAN, by announcement, initiate a Monkey Invasion, provided e
specifies a full Barrel in the same message. The specified Barrel then
becomes empty. All Monkeys in that Barrel then become Gunpowder Monkeys in
the possesson of the player who initiated the Monkey Invasion. A Player who
owns a Gunpowder Monkey may destroy any specified Monkey or Gunpowder Monkey
by announcement, destroying a Gunpowder Monkey in eir possession in the
process.

Upon a win announcement that there exist no Barrels or all existing Barrels
are empty, and exactly one Player has at least one Gunpowder Monkey in eir
posession, that player satisfies the Winning Condition of Flying Feces.

Cleanup procedure: All Monkeys, Gunpowder Monkeys, and Barrels are
destroyed.

Amend Rule 2199 to read as follows:

   While a player qualifies for a Ribbon, any person CAN, by
   announcement, award that player a Ribbon of that color, unless
   e already possesses one.

   When a player earns a Ribbon, e thereafter qualifies for that
   Ribbon until the opportunity expires, which occurs either when it
   is used or at the time limit, which defaults to one week. An
   opportunity is used when a player is awarded a Ribbon of that
   colour, e does not qualify for that Ribbon except through earned
   opportunities, and the opportunity is the one that will expire
   first. In case of a tie, only one of the opportunities tied for
   shortest duration is used.

   Ribbons are a class of fixed assets.  If winning is secured,
   then changes to Ribbon holdings are secured with the same power
   threshold.  Ownership of Ribbons is restricted to players.

   Each Ribbon has exactly one color.  Colors with different names
   are distinct, regardless of spectral proximity.  Each color of
   Ribbon is a currency.

   The Herald is the recordkeepor of Ribbons.

   When a player earns a Ribbon as outlined below, any person CAN
   once, in a timely manner (except for White Ribbons, which can be
   awarded at any time within a month after they are earned),
   create that Ribbon in the player's possession by announcement,
   unless the player already possesses the color of Ribbon e earned
   (earning a Ribbon more than once entitles the bearer to multiple
   Ribbon awards, though capitalizing on this may be difficult):

   (+R) When an interested proposal is adopted and changes at least
one rule with Power >= 3, its proposer earns a Red Ribbon.

   (+O) When an interested proposal is adopted by voting with no
valid votes AGAINST, its proposer earns an Orange Ribbon.

   (+G) At the end of each month, each player who held at least one
office continuously during that month earns a Green Ribbon,
unless e failed to perform an official duty within a time
limit during that month.

   (+C) When a player deputises for an office, e earns a Cyan
Ribbon.

   (+B) When a player assigns a judgement to a judicial question in
an interested judicial case other than a question on
sentencing, e earns a Blue Ribbon, unless e violated a
requirement to submit that judgment within a time limit.

   (+K) When a player assigns a judgement to a judicial question in
an interested judicial case on sentencing, e earns a Black
Ribbon, unless e violated a requirement to submit that
judgment within a time limit.

   (+W) A first-class player who has never owned a White Ribbon
qualifies for one. Additionally, when a first-class person
has been a player continuously for at least three months,
was never a player before that period, and names another
player as eir mentor (and has not named a mentor in this
fashion before), the named player earns a White Ribbon.

   (+M) When, during Agora's birthday, a player publicly
acknowledges the occasion, e earns a Magenta Ribbon.

   (+U) When a player is awarded the Patent Title Champion, e earns
an Ultraviolet Ribbon.

   (+V) When a player is awarded a Patent Title, e earns a Violet
Ribbon, unless e earns a different Ribbon for the award.

   During the Submission Period, any player CAN, by announcement,
   submit a Website Submission. A Website Submission is a document or
   collection of documents intended to replace the web page at
   http://agoranomic.org/. A player CAN by announcement withdraw a
   Website Submission (causing it to cease to be a
   Website Submission). Submitting a Website Submission causes any
   earlier Website Submission authored by the same player to be
   withdrawn.

   Website Submissions have ID numbers, to be assigned by the

   Sysadmin has no report and has II 0. The Sysadmin is an imposed
   office, its holder is coppro.

   If the Submission Period has not began, Taral CAN, by
   announcement, begin it, and e also CAN, by announcement, cause
   this Rule to repeal itself. If the Submission Period has not began
   and this Rule has been in the Ruleset for more than two weeks,
   any player CAN, by announcement, cause this Rule to repeal itself.

   Two weeks after the Submission Period begins, it ends. As soon as
   possible thereafter, the Sysadmin SHALL initiate an Agoran
   decision to pick the winning Website Sumbission; the options shall
   be each Website Submission and NO WINNER. Each active player is
   an eligible voter for this decision, as is Taral. Taral's voting
   limit is 3, every other voter's limit is 1. The text of each
   Website Submission is an essential parameter.

   When the Agoran decision is resolved, if a Website Submission was
   selected as the outcome, then its author is awarded two Leadership
   Tokens and Taral SHOULD update http://agoranomic.org/ to reflect
   the winning Website Submission. Regardless of the outcome, this
   rule then repeals itself.

[Taral gets special treatment because e maintains the website. Imposing
the office on myself will make sure I actually do the sysadminnery
rather than shrug it off by resigning.]

  regards to it.

  If the Justiciar accepts the case, e switches places with the

  due to being CotC, and the CotC receives all obligations and

  Justiciar. This includes any secondary duties required to fulfill

  over Rules that would otherwise assign duties and powers
  regarding a judicial case to the Clerk of the Courts or the
  Justiciar due to holding one of those positions. A player CAN

  All persons are ENCOURAGED to submit a case to the Justiciar
  only when there is a good reason not to let it be processed by

COMMENTS:
Basically, the idea is that everyone builds up a set of rules gradually,
then they can be joined together into a coherent form and enacted by
proposal. When this happens, the contributors to the amalgam proposal
are rewarded - the high reward for authorship of a Defragmentation
Proposal is intended to encourage competition in writing those
proposals.

No mechanism exists to remove individual Fragments, as bad Fragments
simply will not get added to proposal Inodes, or else the proposal will
not be adopted. Likewise, proposals that abuse the spirit of this rule
will not be adopted.

Some of the wording is bad, but I would rather enact this and start
encouraging Fragment-based gameplay right away and fix it later.

I'm upping Leadership Tokens so that they can actually destroy Rests;
the 1.9 number was picked because 2 is too high but I don't want
Leadership Tokens to rely on a Rule of lower power to be the
recordkeepor.

Amend Rule 2156 (Voting on Ordinary Decisions) to read as follows
  The eligible voters on an ordinary decision are the players who
  were active at the start of its voting period. The voting limit
  of a player on an ordinary decision is defined elsewhere in the
  rules, but is fixed at the resolution of the Decision and
  thereafter CANNOT change, rules to the contrary notwithstanding.
  This restriction does not prevent a change that would change a
  voting limit from occurring; it only prevents it from actually
  effecting that limit.

Enact a new Rule at power 2, entitled Chamber and Title, that reads as
follows:
  Chamber is a switch possessed by players, proposals in the
  Proposal Pool, and ongoing Agoran Decisions to adopt Proposals.
  The possible values for Chamber are Green, Red, and
  Purple. Green is superior to Purple, Red is superior to Green, and
  Purple is superior to Red; the opposite of superior is inferior.

  The default is Green in case of players, the Chamber of
  the author in case of proposals, and the Chamber of the proposal
  in question in case of a Decision. These are not continuously
  updated, but evaluated only as the entity comes into being.

  A player CAN change eir Title by announcement if e has not
  already done so previously in the same month. In the same message
  in which a player submits a proposal, e CAN set its Chamber by
  announcement. Changes to Title are secured.

  The Assessor tracks the Chamber of players and the Promotor
  tracks the Chamber of proposals.

  The Chamber of a player may also be referred to as eir Title;
  this does not extend to proposals or Decisions. A player may be
  referred to as a " player", where  is eir Chamber.

Retitle Rule 2279 (Base Voting Limits) to (Voting Limits on Ordinary
Decisions) and amend it to read as follows:
  A player's voting limit on an Ordinary decision is the result of
  performing the following steps, in order:

  (1) Take the following value, depending on the relationship
   between the player's Chamber and the Chamber of the
   Decision:
  (a) If eir Chamber is superior, it is 2, else
  (b) If eir Chamber is inferior, it is 1, else
  (c) If the Chambers are identical, it is 5.

  (2) Reduce the value by half the number of Rests owned by
  the player.

  (3) Apply any other adjustments defined in other rules, in
  numerical order unless otherwise specified.

  (4) Round the value to the nearest non-negative integer,
  breaking ties upward.

  This rule takes precedence over any other rule which would
  modify a player's voting limit on an ordinary Decision.

Chamber: Green

[ Allows the judge to specify any number of Rest less than 15 when
judging SILENCE, and when the judgement remains in effect for a
continuous week, any player can create the rests in the possession of
the ninny. I've kept Class-N Crimes in though, as there may still be
cases in which the defendant admits guilt and creates the Rests
straight-away. ]

Amend Rule 1504 (Criminal Cases) by replacing

 * SILENCE, a number of Rests, equal to the defined Class of the
   Crime or (if the breach is not a defined crime) the power of
   the breached Rule, rounded to the nearest integer with ties
   broken by rounding up, are created in the possession of the
   Ninny. The judge CAN, with 2 Support, set the fine at a
   different integral level between one half and double that
   amount, and SHOULD attempt to do so if necessary to ensure
   that the correlation between the fine and the severity of the
   breach is appropriate, or to account for the faith (good or
   bad) shown by the Ninny in contesting the notice or in aiding
   or obstructing the course of justice.

with:

 * SILENCE with a positive number less than 15 (X). If a
   judgement of SILENCE has been in effect continuously for one
   week (or longer), any player CAN create a number of Rests
   equal to X in the possession of the ninny, by announcement.
