OFF: [Stonemason] December Stone Auction

2020-12-02 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Protection Stone], [Sabotage Stone], [Wealth Stone].

Warning: I intend to auction the Soul Stone next month (not a pledge).

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. 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 AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Regulation AM5/0
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.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the highest bid
from a funded, non-withdrawn player whose preferred bid is that
lot.

Title: Emergency Economy Unbreaking
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: nix, Jason


[Currently, the concentration stone plus the economy focus would
 create over 1000 coins. That represents inflation of more than 10%.
 Obviously, that wasn't what we had in mind. The plan is to delay
 termination of the auction until this is resolved, so people should
 be able to adjust their bids.]

Amend the rule entitled "The Stones" by replacing:
  - Concentration Stone (weekly, 60%)
with:
  - Concentration Stone (monthly, 60%)

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

Regulation AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

OFF: [Stonemason] January Stone Auction

2021-01-06 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Purusant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Soul Stone], [Protection Stone], [Concentration Stone].


The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. 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 AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Regulation AM5/0
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.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the highest bid
from a funded, non-withdrawn player whose preferred bid is that
lot.

auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:

public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated

//
ID: 8527
Title: Specified Crime not Rule
Adoption index: 1.7
Author: Publius Scribonius Scholasticus
Co-authors: nix, Aris


Amend Rule 2478, "Vigilante Justice" by replacing the first paragraph
with the following:
  A player CAN by announcement Point eir Finger at a player (the
  perp); the announcement is INEFFECTIVE if it does not explicitly
  name the perp, cite a specific rule or named crime, and specify an
  alleged violation of that rule or commission of that crime by that
  person.

[ This will allow someone to use the name of a crime without specifying
which rule defines it. This also addresses some concerns raised by nix
regarding unnecessary or archaic provisions.]

//
ID: 8528
Title: Gaining Assets
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: Gaelan


[There are reasonable complaints that the word "earn" is confusing,
because it conveys the idea of becoming entitled to an asset, rather than
the idea of coming into possession of an asset. It also clashes with the
terminology we use for ribbons. This proposal fixes the problems
by changing the word to "gain", to match "loose".]

Amend Rule 2577, "Asset Actions", by replacing:

  For an entity to earn an asset is for that asset to be created in
  that entity's possession.

with:

  For an entity to gain (historical syn. earn) an asset is for that asset to be
  created in that entity's possession.


Amend Rule 2499, "Welcome Packages", by replacing "earns" with "gains".
Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by replacing "earns" with "gains".
Amend Rule 2620, "Cards & Sets", by replacing "earn" with "gain".
Amend Rule 2623, "Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege", by replacing "earn"
with "gain".
Amend Rule 2627, "The General Store", by replacing "earns" with
"gains" and replacing "earn" with "gain".

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

Regulation AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

OFF: [Rulekeepor] RTRW Contest

2021-01-31 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
[Changes from draft: extended time to 14 days, allowed modification of
submissions, clarified somethings.]


UNOFFICIAL RULE GOLF CONTEST:

Contestants shall select between 1 and 5 rules and submit a revised
version of the set of rules. The selected set of rules should be
cohesive. The revised version need not have the same number of rules as
the original. Submissions can be submitted publicly or privately by
email within 14 days of the contest beginning. The Rulekeepor cannot
make a submission.

A player cannot make more than one submission, though e may alter an
existing submission at the discretion of the Rulekeepor.

Submissions should not alter the behavior of the rules in any way.
Removal of clarifications does not constitute an altering of behavior,
so long as the rule functions the same way without the clarification.
CFJ precedent may be used to determine this, so long as the precedent
does not rely on text of the rules that was substantively altered by the
revision.

Submissions will be tiered as follows:
1. Those which do not alter rules behavior.
2. Those which do not significantly alter rules behavior.
3. Those which significantly alter rules behavior.

All submissions in tiers with lower numbers outrank those with higher
numbers. The tier a submission is in is determined by the Rulekeepor,
but eir decisions should be mostly based on the public's understanding
of the revision's affects.

Within a tier, submissions are ranked by the total number of words
removed by the revision. Submissions with more removed words are ranked
more highly. The determination of the number of words removed is based
on the state of the ruleset at the beginning of RTRW.

The Rulekeepor shall publish a complete list of submissions and rankings
within 7 days after the submission period closes. Ties shall be broken
at the discretion of the Rulekeepor.

The Herald should please attempt to award the winner a unique patent title.

//
ID: 8530
Title: No Honour
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: nix
Co-authors: Jason


Repeal R2510, "Such is Karma".

[Karma gets rare, sporadic usage and I'd prefer not to maintain it if
it's not going to be used. I'm also open to supporting efforts to revive
it, but I don't have the time/interest to write such proposals myself
right now.]

//
ID: 8531
Title: Patent Title Restoration v2
Adoption index: 1.5
Author: Jason
Co-authors: 


Amend Rule 649 by replacing "A Patent Title is a legal title given to a
person in recognition of the person's distinction" with "A Patent Title
is a legal title held by an entity in recognition of eir distinction".

[The current version could plausibly be read to strip patent titles when
an entity ceases to be a person. This makes it so that patent titles can
be held by all entities, but can only be awarded to persons. The
requirement on personhood/citizenship is explicit for most awarding
methods (including the Herald's general method), while the other methods
require 2 Agoran consent, which should be enough to prevent them going
to non-persons if we don't want them to as a group. There's not really
an easy place to put an explicit restriction, because some of the 2
Agoran consent methods are at Power 3, while the patent titles rule is
at Power 1.5.]

Award all Patent Titles to eir former holders that were lost solely due
to the entity not being a person (under any current or former definition
of "person"), other than Hero of Agora Nomic or Grand Hero of Agora Nomic.

[Don't try to award HAN/GHAN because it seems unlikely they were ever
stripped and because this proposal doesn't have high enough AI to do so.]

number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Forward Auctions

  Forward auctions function like generalized auctions except:

Sealed-bid Auctions

  Sealed-bid auctions function like generalized auctions except:
  
  * Players can only submit bids on a sealed-bid auction if they do
not have a bid in that auction.
  * Bids must be initially hidden so that it is impossible to tell
its value but that it is verifiable that the amount bid was *
decided before the bid was placed. Anything that claims to be a
bid and fits these conditions is considered a bid.
  * Sealed-bid auctions do not end when bidding is closed.

Title: The Device
Adoption index: 1
Author: G.
Co-authors: Murphy


[inspired by Rules 2192-2193, "The Monster", by Murphy]


Enact a Rule "The Device" with the following text:

  When the device is on:
* click - hummm

  When the device is off:
* whirr - THUNK


Enact a Rule "The Mad Engineer" with the following text:

  The Mad Engineer is an office; its holder is responsible for
  building and maintaining the Device.  The device is a
  singleton switch with values off (default) and on.  The Mad
  Engineer CAN flip the device to either on or off with Agoran
  Consent; any other player CAN do so with 2 Agoran Consent.

  The Mad Engineer CAN act on behalf of
  the device to take any action that the device may take, and
  SHALL act on behalf of the device to ensure that the device
  fulfills all of its duties.

  The Mad Engineer's weekly duties include the performance of the
  following tasks, in order:

  a) Randomly select exactly one rule.  If the selected rule is
 either this rule or the rule "The Device", then
 007 has been spotted near the self-destruct button; skip
 directly to proposal submission.

  b) Select one or more contiguous sentences from the selected
 rule.

  c) Select exactly one noun from the selected text, and replace
 each instance of that noun with "Device" (including
 grammatical variations, e.g. replacing "'s" with
 "Device's").

  d) Announce intent to, with Agoran Consent, cause this rule
 to amend the rule "The Device" by inserting the modified
 text as the last list item in either the "device on" or
 "device off" lists in that rule (or, if 007 has been
 spotted, to repeal both that rule and this one).
 This intent announcement counts as the Mad Engineers's weekly
 report.

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

Regulation AM0/2
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 a number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal
  to the bid of another player. Players CAN withdraw from an open
  auction by announcement.
  
  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
  
  RETRIEVAL: When the bidding period ends, the retrieval period
  begins. During the retrieval period, bidders will be allowed to
  retrieve the assets required to pay for their bid. The retrieval
  period lasts three days. Failing to have the requisite assets when
  the retrieval period for an auction ends constitutes the Class 1
  Crime of Underfundedness.
  
  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 retrieval 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: The auctioneer for an auction CAN and SHALL, within
  seven days of the ending of that auction's retrieval period,
  create a public message (henceforth the "distribution message")
  that contains a full history of bids on the auction and
  withdrawals from the auction. It must also clearly indicate each
  awardee and the lot e recieves. In this message, the auctioneer
  CAN and SHALL destroy the amount to be paid from the inventory
  each awardee and transfer to that player (or create in eir
  possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated with
  the lot e won. Failing to publish a distribution message
  constitutes the Class 3 Crime of Auction Abandonment.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

2021-05-06 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Purusant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Soul Stone], [Sabotage Stone], [Concentration Stone], [Protection
Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. 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 AM0/2
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other

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

Regulation AM0/2
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 a number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal
  to the bid of another player. Players CAN withdraw from an open
  auction by announcement.
  
  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
  
  RETRIEVAL: When the bidding period ends, the retrieval period
  begins. During the retrieval period, bidders will be allowed to
  retrieve the assets required to pay for their bid. The retrieval
  period lasts three days. Failing to have the requisite assets when
  the retrieval period for an auction ends constitutes the Class 1
  Crime of Underfundedness.
  
  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 retrieval 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: The auctioneer for an auction CAN and SHALL, within
  seven days of the ending of that auction's retrieval period,
  create a public message (henceforth the "distribution message")
  that contains a full history of bids on the auction and
  withdrawals from the auction. It must also clearly indicate each
  awardee and the lot e recieves. In this message, the auctioneer
  CAN and SHALL destroy the amount to be paid from the inventory
  each awardee and transfer to that player (or create in eir
  possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated with
  the lot e won. Failing to publish a distribution message
  constitutes the Class 3 Crime of Auction Abandonment.
  
  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] May Stone Auction Resolution [attn. Treasuror]

2021-05-27 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
The April Stone auction has ended. It began at 16:10:27 on 2021-05-06 and
the retrieval period started at 01:36:40 on 2021-05-24, four days after
the final bid by Jason.

There were four lots: [Soul Stone], [Sabotage Stone], [Concentration Stone],
[Protection Stone].

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

[Soul Stone]  -> Jason for 1320 coins
[Sabotage Stone]  -> Jason for  425 coins
[Concentration Stone] -> Jason for  425 coins
[Protection Stone]-> Jason for  670 coins

I destroy 1320 of Jason's coins and cause the Soul Stone to be
transferred to em.
I destroy 425 of Jason's coins and cause the Sabotage Stone to be
transferred to em.
I destroy 425 of Jason's coins and cause the Concentration Stone to be
transferred to em.
I destroy 670 of Jason's coins and cause the Protection Stone to be
transferred to em.


Personal actions:

[Note: These actions do not provide me an unfair advantage, as I plan to
allow other people to do similar actions to prevent win declarations.
See my draft Administrative Regulation.]

I transfer the Power Stone to Falsifian.

I wield the Concentration Stone, specifying myself (thereby gaining one
Legislative card). I transfer the Concentration Stone to Falsifian.

Title: simplify indictments
Adoption index: 1.7
Author: G.
Co-authors: nix


Repeal Rule 2619 (Indictment).

Amend Rule 2557 (Sentencing Guidelines) by appending the following paragraph:

  When the rules authorize an investigator to issue an Indictment
  for a violation, e CAN do so by levying a fine on the perp, with
  1.5 Agoran Consent, provided that levying the fine would be
  otherwise LEGAL and EFFECTIVE.

[
Turns indictment into a simple "if we want to apply a punishment outside
the 1...2xBase violation range (either higher or lower), we do so with 1.5
Consent and call that an indictment."  The 1.5 level was chosen to match
the AI of the current indictment proposals.

The "otherwise LEGAL and EFFECTIVE" clause is so that this ability is
still limited by Defendant's Rights.

OFF: [Stonemason] June Stone Auction

2021-06-03 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Power Stone], [Wealth Stone], [Concentration Stone].

Please let this one be shorter than the last one.

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 AM0/2
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 a number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal
  to the bid of another player. Players CAN withdraw from an open
  auction by announcement.
  
  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
  
  RETRIEVAL: When the bidding period ends, the retrieval period
  begins. During the retrieval period, bidders will be allowed to
  retrieve the assets required to pay for their bid. The retrieval
  period lasts three days. Failing to have the requisite assets when
  the retrieval period for an auction ends constitutes the Class 1
  Crime of Underfundedness.
  
  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 retrieval 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: The auctioneer for an auction CAN and SHALL, within
  seven days of the ending of that auction's retrieval period,
  create a public message (henceforth the "distribution message")
  that contains a full history of bids on the auction and
  withdrawals from the auction. It must also clearly indicate each
  awardee and the lot e recieves. In this message, the auctioneer
  CAN and SHALL destroy the amount to be paid from the inventory
  each awardee and transfer to that player (or create in eir
  possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated with
  the lot e won. Failing to publish a distribution message
  constitutes the Class 3 Crime of Auction Abandonment.
  
  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:

lot that is preferred.

placed the highest active bid whose preferred bid is the Nth
lot.

2021-02-08 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Purusant 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 AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. 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 AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Regulation AM5/0
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.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the highest bid
from a funded, non-withdrawn player whose preferred bid is that
lot.

Title: Turn Undead v2
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: G.
Co-authors: 


[
diffs from proto:
 - Made activity switchable in both directions at will.
 - Defined two verbs.
 - Adjusted time limits as suggested.
 - Added inactivity as a cfj recusal reason.
diffs from v1:
 - Made emailing a deregistree a SHOULD, but changed the method to
   w/o three objections, with the idea that if there's question
   about the email headers or whatever, objections can pragmatically
   handle the issue.
]

Create the following Rule, Activity:

  Activity is a player switch tracked by the Registrar, with values
  Active (default) and Inactive.  To flip a player's activity to
  active (inactive) is to activate (deactivate) em.  The date on
  which each player's activity was last changed is part of the
  Registrar's weekly report.

  A player CAN activate or deactivate emself by announcement.

  Any player CAN, with notice, make a player who has not made a
  public announcement in the past 30 days inactive.

  If a player has been inactive continuously for the past 60 days,
  then any player CAN deregister em without 3 objections. The
  Registrar SHOULD attempt to deregister players who meet this
  condition. The publication of intent for such a deregistration
  SHOULD be sent to the inactive player's registered email address
  at the same time that it is published.


Every player's activity is flipped to active [unneeded I think due
to default behavior, but precautionary?]


Amend Rule 2492 (Recusal) by appending the following text to the
second paragraph:
  The Arbitor CAN recuse an inactive or deregistered judge from a
  case by announcement.

Repeal Rule 2532 (Zombies).
Repeal Rule 2574 (Zombie Life Cycle).
Repeal Rule 2639 (Zombie Phase-Out).
Repeal Rule 1885 (Zombie Auctions).

Amend Rule 2472 (Office Incompatibilities) by deleting:
  A zombie is Overpowered if e holds one or more offices.

Amend Rule 2531 (Defendant's Rights) by deleting:
  (10) it attempts to levy a fine on a zombie for an action that
   its master performed on its behalf.

Amend Rule 2621 (VP Wins) by replacing "non-zombie"  with "active".

2021-04-01 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Purusant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Soul Stone], [Sabotage Stone], [Concentration Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. 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 AM0/1
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL after the ending of that
auction create a public message (henceforth the
"termination message") that contains a full history of bids
on the auction and withdrawals from the auction. It should
also clearly indicate each awardee and the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * During the period from the end of the auction until 7 days
after the publication of the termination message, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Regulation AM5/0
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.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the highest bid
from a funded, non-withdrawn player whose preferred bid is that
lot.

OFF: [Stonemason] March Stone Auction

2021-03-01 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-official
Purusant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Power Stone], [Wealth Stone], [Sabotage Stone], [Protection Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. 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 AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.
  
History:

Enacted by Trigon, 08 Aug 2020

Annotations:


Regulation AM5/0
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.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the highest bid
from a funded, non-withdrawn player whose preferred bid is that
lot.

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

Regulation AM0/0
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Title: You Can Only Stack Turtles So High
Adoption index: 2.2
Author: Aris
Co-authors: Gaelan, G.


[This fixes G.'s scam, which would otherwise allow indeterminacy to be
created through infinite promise loops.]

Amend Rule 2618, "Promises", by inserting, after the text:

  A promise's bearer CAN, by announcement, cash the promise,
  provided that any conditions for cashing it specified by its text
  are unambiguously met. By doing so, e acts on the creator of the
  promise's behalf, causing the creator to act as if e published the
  promise's text, and destroys the promise.

the text:

  However, to limit recursion, no promise can be cashed during the execution
  of another promise unless it existed before the execution of that promise
  began.

ID: 8553
Title: Slightly less apathetic

through this Rule in the past 14 days."

ID: 8554
Title: I Want My Promise Back!
Adoption index: 2.2
Author: Aris
Co-authors: nix


[This is intended to remove the need to put in a special provision
to a promise allow the creator to destroy a promise in the possession of
the Library. Since that's usually what's wanted, this makes it the
default behavior, while still allowing the creator to override it.]

Amend Rule 2618, "Promises", by inserting, after the text:

  The Library is an entity and CAN own promises. Any player CAN take
  a specified promise from the Library by announcement, provided e
  cashes the promise in the same message.

the text:

  The creator of a promise CAN take or revoke it from the Library by
  announcement, unless the promise's text unambiguously designates
  it as irrevocable.

Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Aris
Co-authors: Trigon, nix


[Changes:
  -The Treasuror sets a target for the Total Buoyancy every week;
   the most recent target takes effect at the beginning of the month
  -The Unit of Floatation is now rounded, so people can actually remember
   it (unlike the draft, I'm rounding up, to deal with cases
   where it's evenly between two integers)
  -The Treasuror no longer has a monthly report, and is instead
   just encouraged to make sure the Total Buoyancy and Unit of Floatation
   are published
]

Amend Rule 2634, "Buoyancy Control", by changing it to read in full:

  The Total Buoyancy and Buoyancy Target are singleton
  integer switches, tracked by the Treasuror in eir weekly report.

  The Treasuror CAN, by announcement, set the Buoyancy Target
  to a specified value approximately equal to the sum of all coin
  balances at a specified point within the last week,
  and SHALL do so each time e publishes eir weekly report.

  The Treasuror may exercise reasonable judgement in calculating the
  Buoyancy Target. The Buoyancy Target will be deemed set so long as
  the value chosen by the Treasuror is not obviously and grossly
  incorrect. However, the Treasuror SHALL NOT deliberately introduce
  error into the Buoyancy Target.

  At the beginning of each month, the Total Buoyancy is flipped to
  the Buoyancy Target.

Amend Rule 2635, "Floating Rate Fleet", by changing it to read in full:

  The Unit of Flotation is equal to 1/2500 times the Total Buoyancy,
  rounded up, and is tracked in the Treasuror's weekly report.
  A boatload of something is a quantity of that thing equal
  in count to the Unit of Floatation.

  The Treasuror is ENCOURAGED to arrange for the new Total Buoyancy
  and Unit of Flotation to be published as close as possible
  to the beginning of the month.


[No clue why this should be secured — granting assets isn't secured.
The reason I'm amending this is to make the payday happen
after the boatload value update; I'm open to other phrasings.]

Amend Rule 2559, "Paydays", by replacing:

  The occurrence of Paydays is secured. At the beginning of each
  month, a Payday occurs.

with:

  At the beginning of each month, after all other events that
  take place at the beginning of the month, a Payday occurs.

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

Regulation AM0/1
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL after the ending of that
auction create a public message (henceforth the
"termination message") that contains a full history of bids
on the auction and withdrawals from the auction. It should
also clearly indicate each awardee and the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * During the period from the end of the auction until 7 days
after the publication of the termination message, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.
