ID: 8557
Title: Archimedes' Principle
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.
