spoon-business: Proposal-Political Parties (revised)

[Dan Waldron <wald7330@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[[Okay fixed the problem (ack!) and added another security bit at the end
that, while maybe not nescessary, might make it easier to judge any CFJs
that arise.]]

The following is the revised version of my proposal "Parties", number 382

-------
1. Enact a new rule entitled "Parties", text as follows:

A Party is a type of object consisting of a name, a serial number, a set
of rules, and a set of member agents.  Any agent may create a party at any
time by announcing eir intent to the Administrator who shall recognize eir
action and assign a serial number, the party creator must also determine
an initial set of rules and name for the new party. A newly created party
has no members, and a party which is found to have no members continuously
for a period of one nweek ceases to exist.

2. Enact a new rule entitled "Party Membership", text as follows:

The requirements for membership of a party shall be defined by the rules
of that party.  No agent may become a member of a party without eir
consent.

The members of a Party must abide by the rules of that Party, with the
proviso that no agent may be required to abide by a set of rules of which
e has been uninformed.  The rules of this game take precedence over the
rules of all Parties, but they do not exempt the members of a party from a
punishment for failing to comply with the rules of that party.

3. Enact a new rule entitled "Party Privacy", with text as follows:

The rules and membership list shall be maintained by the members of that
party.  They must be available to all members of that party, but are not
required to be available to non-members; all members must be apprised of
any change in the rules or party membership.  If the otherwise privately
kept rules or membership of a party is the subjct of a CFJ, and the judge
of that CFJ is not a member of that party, then they shall be made
available to em, but e shall not further distribute them without consent
from a member of the party.

4. Enact a new rune entitled "Party Security", with text as follows:

In no case may an agent be bound by a set of rules of which e is
uninformed.  In no case may an agent become a member of a party without
eir express written consent, although said consent does not nescessarily
have to be posted to the Public forum.  Party rules may not take
precedence over the rules of this game, although this does not
nescessarily exempt a player for penalties from failing to abide by the
rules of a party of which e is a member.  Party rules may not redefine
terms used in the rules of this game.
