Subject: [s-b] [Promotor] Distribution of Proposals 1980-1984

This distribution of proposals 1980-1984 initiates the Bn
Decisions on whether to adopt them.  The eligible voters for ordinary
proposals are the active players, the eligible voters for democratic
proposals are the active first-class players, and the vote collector
is the Assessor. The valid options on each decision are FOR, AGAINST,
and PRESENT.

Proposal 1980 (Democratic, AI=2.0, Interest=1) by Goethe
Poobah bye-bye

[No mechanics changes, just replaces Grand Poobah with Assessor].

Change the power of Rule 92 (The Assessor) to 2.

Amend Rule 92 (The Assessor) to read:

      The Assessor is an office; its holder is responsible for
      collecting votes and keeping track of related properties.

      Vote Coins are a currency whose recordkeeper is the Assessor.
      As soon as possible after the beginning of each month
      the Assessor SHALL create a Vote Coin in the possession of
      each active first-class player. A player CAN spend a Vote Coin
      in eir possession and specify a player to increment that
      player's Vote Power by one. A player CAN spend a Vote Coin in
      eir possession and specify a player to create a Stain in the
      possession of the specified player.

      Stains are a fixed currency whose recordkeeper is the Assessor.
      As soon as possible after the beginning of each month
      the Assessor CAN and SHALL select a random player who has
      one or more Stains and set that player's Vote Power to 0. Then e
      SHALL destroy one Stain in the possession of each player.


Repeal Rule 52 (The Grand Poobah)

Proposal 1981 (Democratic, AI=4.0, Interest=3) by C-walker
Bring back Emergencies!

Enact a new Power 4 Rule titled "Emergencies" and reading as follows:

      The entities, procedures, and definitions used in this Rule
      SHOULD generally be interpreted to be as they are defined by
      other Rules, except if the definitions used in other Rules are
      generally considered to be 'broken', 'scammable' or if it would
      not be in the best interests of the game to use the said
      definitions. In such cases, this Rule SHOULD be interpreted
      using judicial findings, game custom, common sense, and
      consideration of the best interests of the game.

      For the purposes of this Rule, a Potential Emergency Participant
      (PEP) is an entity defined elsewhere in the Rules as a player,
      except if there is ambiguity or reasonable dispute over which
      entities are players, in which case a PEP is any entity which
      was generally considered to be a player before such ambiguity or
      dispute arose.

      A PEP CAN, with the Consent of B, initiate an Emergency. When an
      Emergency is initiated, the following steps occur in sequence:

      1) The quorum of all Decisions currently in their voting period
          becomes N/1.5, where N is the number of active PEPs.

      2) Refresh Proposals are submitted. A Refresh Proposal is a
          fixed body of text clearly marked as a Refresh Proposal and
          submitted to a Public Forum by a PEP. The author of a
          Refresh Proposal CAN destroy it by announcement, except
          during an Emergency Decision.

      3) The Emergency Decision is initiated. If any of the following
          are true, any PEP CAN initiate the Emergency Decision (as
          described elsewhere):

          a) Every active PEP has submitted a Refresh Proposal.

          b) Every PEP has publicly consented to the initiation of the
            Emergency Decision.

          c) 4 or more days have passed since the initiation of the
            Emergency.

          If allowed elsewhere in this Rule, a PEP CAN initiate the
          Emergency Decision by publicly stating:

          a) That e initiates the Emergency Decision.

          b) The text, title and author of each Refresh Proposal.

      4) The people vote. After an Emergency Decision has been
          initiated, a PEP CAN vote on that Decision by publishing a
          valid ballot indicating which Refresh Proposal e selects. A
          valid ballot:

          a) is submitted less than four days after the initiation of
            the Emergency Decision.

          b) clearly identifies the Refresh Proposal selected.

          c) and has not been publicly retracted by the voter less
            than four days after the initiation of the Decision.

          An ordered list of multiple choices constitutes a
          conditional vote for the first choice if it could be the
          outcome, otherwise the second choice if it could be the
          outcome, and so forth.

      5) The Decision is resolved. If every active PEP has published
          a valid ballot on the decision and/or the Decision was
          initiated more than four days ago, any PEP CAN resolve the
          Emergency Decision by publicly stating:

          a) that e resolves the Emergency Decision.

          b) Which PEPs voted for which Refresh Proposal, and the
            total number of votes for each Refresh Proposal.

      When the Emergency Decision is validly resolved, the Refresh
      Proposal which received the highest number of votes (or if there
      is a tie, the Refresh Proposal with the highest number of votes
      which was submitted earliest) is adopted, its power is set to
      four, and it then takes effect. The Emergency is then ended.

Proposal 1982 (Democratic, AI=2.0, Interest=2) by C-walker
Officer Salaries

Retitle Rule 86 to "Officer Salaries" and replace its entire text with:

      Each Office has a Salary, which is a non-negative integer,
      defaulting to 1. A player CAN set an Office's Salary without 2
      objections or with the Consent of B.

In Rule 118 (Gaining Primary Gnomes) replace:

        (2) (Ea) At the end of each week, each player who completed
                the non-empty set of weekly duties of at least one
                office during that week gains a number of Earth
                Gnomes equal to the highest interest index among all
                such offices.

            (Ai) At the end of each month, each player who completed
                the non-empty set of monthly duties of at least one
                office during that month gains a number of Air Gnomes
                equal to the highest interest index among all such
                offices.

with:

        (2) (Ea) At the end of each week, each player who completed
                the non-empty set of weekly duties of at least one
                office during that week gains a number of Earth
                Gnomes equal to the highest Salary among all such
                offices.

            (Ai) At the end of each month, each player who completed
                the non-empty set of monthly duties of at least one
                office during that month gains a number of Air Gnomes
                equal to the highest Salary among all such offices.

Set the Salary of each Office as follows:

Office        Salary
----------------------
Accountor      1
Ambassador    1
Assessor      2
CotC          3
Gardener      3
Grand Poobah  1

Proposal 1983 (Democratic, AI=3.0, Interest=2) by C-walker
Paperweights

Enact a new Power 2 Rule titled "Paperweights" reading as follows:

      Paperweights are a class of fixed assets, tracked by the
      Accountor (in eir monthly report), whose ownership is restricted
      to first-class players. Each Paperweight has exactly one type:
      either Stone or Glass, and each type of Paperweight is a
      currency.

      A player CAN, with support, create a Stone Paperweight in eir
      possession.

      Glass Paperweights SHOULD generally be awarded by proposal to
      officers who have contributed above and beyond the call of duty
      in their recordkeeping, or in other exceptional circumstances.

Retitle Rule 20 (Ratification Without Objection) to "Ratification With
Satisfaction" and amend it to read, in full:

      An official document is a public document purported to be part
      (possibly all) of an official report; this part is the
      document's scope. The methods of ratifying official documents
      defined by this Rule are collectively known as Ratification With
      Satisfaction.

      Any player CAN, with 3 the Consent of B, spend a Stone
      Paperweight to ratify an official document, specifying its
      scope. Any player CAN, with the Consent of B, spend a Glass
      Paperweight to ratify an official document, specifying its
      scope. Any player CAN, without objection, ratify an official
      document, specifying its scope.

      The date of this ratification and the scope of the ratified
      document become part of the official report in question, until
      the same scope is ratified at a later date.

      Ratification Without Objection CANNOT cause the repeal,
      amendment, enactment, or mutation of any Rule, rules to the
      contrary notwithstanding.

      A player SHALL NOT knowingly use or announce intent to use
      Ratification With Satisfaction to ratify a (prior to
      ratification) incorrect document when a corrected document could
      be produced with reasonable effort, unless the general nature of
      the document's error and reason for ratifying it is clearly and
      plainly described in the announcement of intent.  Such
      ratification or announcement of intent to ratify is the Class-8
      Crime of Endorsing Forgery.
