[Spoon-business] Expanding the Market

["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to add a bit to what objects we can accept in the Market.  
Primarily, this will be making it so that we can get our own objects back 
safe and sound, but it will also let us get a bit more from Thermo.

I'm thinking about letting Rules from other Nomics in, and having the 
various rules we get all be added to a new ruleset, as a self-contained 
mini-Nomic.  But that gets a bit too far from just establishing trade, and 
is something for another proposal.

In my proposal __Free Trade v1.0__:
{{
Add the following to the second paragraph of section D. in the __Going to 
Market__ rule definition:
{{An object may to be given to a B Nomic Trader if, in addition to its 
appropriate entry on the TIG, it is another kind of object that is defined 
within B Nomic, and this other kind of object is not a part of the 
definition of the object specified in the TIG. [[So you can't create a Coing 
which is also a rule in another Nomic and send it over.  But you can send 
over Gnomes, whether or not they are Grid Objects in another Nomic.]]
}}

Add the following paragraphs to section D. in the __Going to Market__ rule 
definition:
{{After the events specified by the TIG occur, the following also occurs:
If any text properties of the object are illegal, value of those properties 
are set to "Traded Object: " and the orignial value.
If any numerical properties of the object are illegal, value of those 
properties are set to 0.
If any properties of the object are illegal, those properties are set to 
their default value, if such exists.
If any properties of the object are (still) illegal, those properties are 
removed from that object.

Between the time a B Nomic Trader receives an object and the events stated 
in this rule occur, the object is not considered a part of the B Nomic 
gamestate, except for purposes of processing by this rule.  Nothing happens 
to these objects except as specified by this rule.
}}

To the list that the LEG is set to in __Free Trade v1.0__, add "Mined 
Objects".

Change table that the TIG is set to in __Free Trade v1.0__ to the table 
attached to this email in html format.  I would include that table here, but 
it would be a mess in plain text.
}}
