THE AGORAN WEEKLY JOURNAL VOLUME 48, ISSUE 23 Thursday, January 9, 2003 RETURNING FROM A THREE-MONTH HIATUS ----------------------------------- Andre - Stare Decisis www.win.tue.nl/~engels/stare.txt Eris - Web Judiciary cotc.taral.net/ Michael - First Speaker www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mn200/games/nomic/yoyo/ Sir Toby - Map of Arcadia www.sir-toby.com/mapkeepor.php t - AWJ Archive www.iki.fi/scurra/agora.html ADOPTED PROPOSALS ----------------- by Murphy - Proposal 4411 - Sanitised and Aborted 10/28 - Proposal 4413 adopted 11/15 Eris is Installed as Electee to Clerk of the Courts. Steve is Installed as Electee to Speaker-Elect. "A Burst of Activity" by Steve - Proposal 4407 adopted 10/30 All Frozen Players become Inactive. A Player must wait one week before changing eir Activity Level in either direction. Silence triggers a Notice of Abandonment, sent to all Public Fora and to the Player's preferred e-mail address. If the Notice is still valid one month later, then the Player is deregistered. Silence due to Quietness takes one month (up from two weeks). Silence due to Inactivity takes three months (up from two). Inactive Players may be bound by the requirements of eir Organizations. "Actions in Arcadia" by Peekee - Proposal 4394 failed quorum 10/11 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4405 adopted 10/23 Movement Units are renamed to Action Units. Players have 10 Action Units per week, minus 1 per 5 Blots. Groups have 1 Action Unit per week, plus 3 per member at the same or adjacent Location as the Group. Players may only move to adjacent Units (as they currently do). Groups may only move to the Location of a member (5 Action Units). Groups may impose Tolls. [A duplicate copy submitted on 10/12 is ignored, per Rule 1483.] "Agoran Nomic" by harvel - Proposal 4398 adopted 10/23 Various instances of "Nomic X" (e.g. "Nomic week") are changed to "Agoran X". "Alleviation of Frostbite" by Pakaran - Proposal 4400 adopted 10/23 Frozen Players are not blanket-prohibited from actions. "Bidding Fix in Private Auctions" - Proposal 4392 failed quorum 10/11 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4403 adopted 10/23 In Private Auctions, bidders with the same Executor as the Auctioneer may bid only in the first 72 hours of the Auction, and must bid/cancel publicly. "Criminal Reform" by Murphy - Proposal 4406 adopted 10/30 ASAP is changed from a cascading requirement to a straight definition. Rule 1553 (Officer Transition) loses the text "violates this Rule", since it already defines a Crime. Rules 1724 (Urgent Proposals), 1770 (Distributing Proposals), and 1827 (Granting or Denying Motions) lose the concept "detect and report", which has elsewhere been shortened to "report". Sentencing Orders penalize Crimes; Ticketing Orders penalize Infractions; they shall be necessary and sufficient to apply the penalty. A Judge may (Without Objection) substitute a Formal Apology for the Sentencing Orders of any Crime. Players are encouraged to CFJ on Infractions only when a question of interpretation, rather than fact, arises. If a Sentencing or Ticketing Order for Blots is recorded and then vacated, then the Blots are expunged. Violating a Rule (in the absence of any other penalty) is the Class N Crime of Disobedience. N is the Power of the violated Rule, but at most 4. Violating a SLC (unless necessary to avoid violating the Rules or another SLC with precedence) is the Class 1 Crime of Insubordination. Violating a SLC may only be CFJed by a Player within its Jurisdiction, and may only be Judged by a Player outside its Jurisdiction. "Filthiness Doesn't Last Forever" by Steve - Proposal 4393 failed quorum 10/11 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4404 adopted 10/23 A Filthy Bureaucrat loses eir Patent Title when e ceases to hold and be Electee to three or more Offices. "Free the Drones" by Steve - Proposal 4391 failed quorum 10/11 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4402 adopted 10/23 If the debt of a pay-out or bill is paid before it is announced, then the requirement to announce it is waived. "Fund the Bandwagon" by Steve - Sane duplicate of Proposal 4390 - Proposal 4399 adopted 10/23 The Bank incurs a debt of 60 Stems to the Bandwagon Contest. "October Contested Proposal" by Steve - Contested Proposal 4396 adopted 10/16 "Protect the inactive" by Steve - Proposal 4418 failed Quorum 12/4 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4424 adopted 12/16 Only Active Noisy Players may be made Quiet. Any Inactive Players who became Quiet within the previous month become Noisy. Inactive Players cannot become eligible to Judge. "Quorum on Parliamentary Proposals" by Steve - Proposal 4410 adopted 11/6 A Parliamentary Proposal meets Quorum if and only if it would have met Quorum as a Democratic Proposal, based on the Player "Votes" rather than the Estate Votes. "Real Majorities" by Steve - Proposal 4412 adopted 11/6 Adopting a Proposal requires a Voting Index greater than 1. (In other words, an AI=1 Proposal fails if FOR and AGAINST Votes are tied.) "Reinstate the Points penalty for Crimes" by OscarMeyr - Proposal 4395 failed Quorum 10/16 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4408 adopted 10/30 The Points penalty for Crimes is made part of the penalty in Rule 1505 (Standard Classes of Crimes and Infractions). Currently, the Points penalty is prevented by Rule 1816 (No Double Jeopardy for Crimes). "Resolve Collision on R1505" by OscarMeyr - Proposal 4416 adopted 11/15 Amend Rule 1505 (Standard Classes of Crimes and Infractions) to combine the Points penalty of Proposal 4408 with the general changes of Proposal 4406. "Sensible Timing for Indulgence Auctions" by Murphy - Proposal 4417 failed Quorum 12/4 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4423 adopted 12/16 Indulgence Auctions are based on measurements at the beginning of the month, rather than the time of calculation or of the last Herald's Report. "Spice up Action Units" by Sir Toby - Proposal 4419 failed Quorum 12/10 - Complacent Oligarchy - Proposal 4425 adopted 1/3 Each unit of Land with Gote gives 1 extra Action Unit per week to the Player or Group that owns it. "The Unready are ineligible" by RedKnight - Proposal 4397 adopted 10/16 Unready Players begin to Turn Around And Around (i.e. are ineligible to Judge CFJs), and return to that status if they lose it. "Typoage" by Eris - Proposal 4401 adopted 10/23 Fix a typo ("Poltician") in Rule 1986. REJECTED PROPOSALS ------------------ "Budgets and Election Errors" by Steve - Proposal 4415 rejected 11/15 A Candidate who fails to submit a valid Proto-Budget is assigned a default Proto-Budget identical to the current Budget. Election results not challenged within seven days are valid, even if they would otherwise be in error. "December Contested Proposal" by Steve - Contested Proposal 4422 rejected 12/16 "End Tax Avoidance" by Steve - Proposal 4421 rejected 12/16 Property transfers to satisfy a nonexistent debt, or pay a Fee for a failed action, create a reverse debt immediately, rather than waiting for the transferor to demand a return. Any outstanding rights to demand are converted to debts. "Spell Check" by RedKnight - Proposal 4409 rejected 10/30 Amend Rule 754 by replacing "penalised" with "penalized". Amend Rule 1992 by replacing "Entitlement.s" with "Entitlements.". Amend Rule 2024 by replacing "labelled" with "labeled". Amend Rule 2030 by replacing "attemps" with "attempts". Amend Rule 1981 by replacing "the the" with "the". "What Are You Looking At" by Steve - Contested Proposal 4414 rejected 11/15 PENDING PROPOSALS ----------------- by Pakaran Frozen Players are no longer blanket-prohibited from performing actions that the Rules explicitly permit non-Frozen Players to perform. "Action/Movement Fix" by Peekee - Proposal 4431 Amend Rule 2003 (Actions in Arcadia) by changing leftover instances of "movement" to "action". "Action Unit Sanity" by Sir Toby Extra Action Units due to owning Land with Gote are based on Land holdings at the start of the week. "Bandwagon Refueling" by Pakaran - Proposal 4428 The Bank incurs a debt of 60 Stems to the Bandwagon. "Be Nice to Oerjan" by Murphy - Proposal 4426 failed Quorum 1/3 - Complacent Oligarchy Oerjan becomes Noisy. "Creativity" by Pakaran The Town Fountain is provided with floodlights for illumination purposes. Failure to turn on the Floodlights betweeen 6 PM and 8 AM GMT is the Level 0 Crime of Improper Fountain Illumination. "Debug Unreadiness" by Maud Players with a Grace Period are initially Turning Around and Around, but do not automatically revert to that state if they leave it. "Fix Nomination" by Eris - Proposal 4429 Amend Rule 1647 (The Speaker-Elect) by replacing "cannot Nominate" with "cannot be Nominated" (referring to the Clerk of the Courts and Justiciar). "Fix Single-Bid Auctions" by Steve The 72-hour clause for ending a Single-Bid Auction looks at the highest Initial Bids, not the highest current Bids (which change every 24 hours till the 14-day cutoff). "General Rules Cleanup" by Maud Rules 1020 (Name Is Agora) and 1698 (The Proposal System Is Protected) are merged into Rule 101 (Obey the Rules). References to the Initial Set of Rules are repealed. Rule 754 (Spelling, Quoting, and Terminology) has "no ambiguity in meaning" relaxed to "no ambiguity in meaning due solely to "partition", "allows the null state" -> "gappy", "automatic" -> "viscous". Types of Fora (Public, Discussion) are a gappy, viscous partition. "Spellcheck" by Pakaran Rename Rule 1803 from "Judicial and Sentencying Orders" to "Judicial and Sentencing Orders". PROTO-PROPOSALS --------------- by Murphy Time periods such as "two weeks after " use the natural language definition, rather than Agoran weeks. by Pakaran A Scribe may become Rubbery for the rest of the month by paying the Scribe's Surcharge (part of the Promotor's Budget) to the Bank. A Player who ceases to be a Scribe ceases to be Rubbery. A Rubbery Player may make any of eir own Proposals Distributable by announcement, or pay (epsilon) Papyri to make someone else's Proposal Distributable. by Goethe The Mapkeepor may change the Land Auction Currency with 2 Supporters. The Land Auction Currency is set to Papyri. "Executors and Currency Transfers" by Murphy Property transfers by an Executor or Limited Executor, acting on behalf of another entity, without an explicitly specified transferor, have the entity (not the Player) as the transferor. "Fix Dependent Actions" by Maud Amend Rule 1728 (Dependent Actions) to explicitly allow actions With 0 Support, or Without 0 Objections. "Make the world a torus" by Peekee (+9, N) and (-9, N) are Adjacent. (N, +9) and (N, -9) are Adjacent. "Monastery" by RedKnight Monasteries are a Class of Organization. "Monks" by Maud See Proto-Proposal "Switches". An on-off switch is a switch with two states. Readiness is a Player switch. Activity Level is a Player switch. Noisiness is an automatic Player switch. Political Status is a Player switch. Chamber is a Proposal switch. Role is a Player switch. Monk is a Role. A Player is Ascetic iff e possesses no Property, is Immaculate, and holds Executorship only of emself. No one may transfer Property to a Monk. (If a Monk somehow receives Property, then e is billed for it, and does not lose eir Asceticism.) A Monk may only transfer Property to the Bank. As soon as possible after a Player becomes a Monk, each Property Recordkeepor shall bill em for eir holdings. A Monk must become Ascetic within two weeks and stay that way, or else e loses eir Role and may not gain a Role for two weeks. N,k,c default to 1,0,1 respectively. An N,k,c-collective Role-based power may be exercised with (X+k)^N Support from other Players of the same Role, or by paying a Fee of c*(X+k)^N of the Currency associated with the Role. (X is the number of times e has previously exercised it that week.) An N-reflexive Role-based power may be exercised with N Support from other Players of the same Role. An N-symmetric Role-based power for two Roles may be exercised by a Player of either Role, with N Support from other Players of the other Role. A Monk may 2-collectively rubberstamp a Proposal (but no longer gets a discount on Distribution Fee, since e shouldn't have Property anyway). A Monk may 2,1-collectively pay out an Indulgence to a non-Monk. Distributability is an on-off Proposal switch. Monks do not get Minimum Income. "Non-Player entities are stainless steel" by Murphy Only persons may gain or lose Blots. "Ought, or can, 'ought' imply 'can'?" by Steve No Player shall be punished for doing something e was required to do, or failing to do something it was illegal for em to do. "Pragmatize Judicial Re-Eligibility" by Murphy Ineligibility by request does not automatically expire after one month, but may be cancelled after one month by the Clerk of the Courts, by informing the Player. "Q*Bert" by OscarMeyr Purple is a Land Type. Each week, Q*Bert hops in a random diagonal direction (unless it and another entity end the week at the same Location, in which case it hops in a random orthogonal direction). It never reverses its previous direction. If Q*Bert would leave the Map, then it ceases to have a Location, and moves to (0,0) the next week. Q*Bert has a color (initially Purple). Q*Bert changes its destination's Type to match its color, unless they already match, in which case it changes its destination's Type to the Type with Sente. If Q*Bert has Sente, then its color becomes a random Land Type other than Aether or its old color. Q*Bert is controlled by the Mapkeepor. Failing to move Q*Bert for two weeks in a row is the Class 1 Infraction of Failing to Cue Bert. "Rouse the Rabble" by Murphy If an Election fails Quorum, then each eligible Player who did not Vote or declare Presence commits the Class 1 Infraction of Apathy. "Satellite Forecast" by Murphy Weather calculations are based on the beginning of the month, rather than the time of calculation. "Shift the Balance of Power" by Murphy Weather calculations are performed by the Payroll Clerk, not the Treasuror. "Switches" by Maud A player-tracked entity is what it sounds like. A switch is a set of states that some class of entities may have, possibly including null, with a default. An instance of a switch always has exactly one possible state, and initially has the default state. Non-automatic switches are modified by public announcement. Automatic switches are modified as specified by the Rules. Publicity status (Public, Discussion, null) is an automatic Forum switch. Readiness is a Player switch. Activity Level is a Player switch. Noisiness is an automatic Player switch. Roles are a Player switch. Office-holders are an Office switch (values = Players, default = Speaker). Possible new switches: * Electees * Dependent Actions * Political Status * Periodic Compensations * Oligarchs * Definition of Proposals * Proposal - Power, Disinterested, Distributable, Chamber * Indices * Voting * Parliamentary Votes * Modes of Voting * Power of New Rules * Classes of Orders "The Noise in the Attic" by Sir Toby Oerjan becomes Noisy. "The Wormhole" by Peekee Each month, the Mapkeepor selects a random Land Unit other than (0, 0) or any Land Unit Adjacent to it. The Wormhole makes that Land Unit Adjacent to (0, 0).

[FALSE] 10/10 Called by Goethe; Linked to CFJs 1416 and 1417 10/18-25 Assigned to Michael, who Judges FALSE Caller's argument (summary): Rule 1989 says that each Player is eir own Prime Executor, and so Rule 1016 applies.

[FALSE] 10/10 Called by Goethe; Linked to CFJs 1415 and 1417 10/18-25 Assigned to Michael, who Judges FALSE Caller's argument (summary): Rule 1598 permits entities (not just Players) to transfer Property.
