[Spoon-business] Prop: Actions

[Daniel Peter Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose:

{{
__Actions speak louder__

Create two new rules:
{{
__Game Actions__ 

A Game Action is defined as any activity specified by the rules to be a Game Action. Any Outsider may take any Game Action at any time unless the rules say otherwise. To do this, e must specify to a Public Forum that e is taking that action. E must also specify any targets necessary for that action [[for example, you must specify a proposal in order to vote against a proposal]]. E may list multiple actions that e wishes to take, in which case e takes them in the order e lists them. E may also state that e performs an action multiple times, in which case e performs the action that many times (if legal, of course) sequentially. The Rules also have the power to cause an Outsider to take Game Actions whether e posts or not.

An Outsider does not take a game action if e states that e does something conditionally [[As in, if my score is higher 20, I do X]] or if the number of times the action is repeated is infinite or cannot be determined [[so "I do X until my score hits 100" is legal only if you can show that your score will hit 100 and that it is possible to figure out how many times you do X before it happens]].

Game Actions occur upon reaching the appropriate fora, in the order they arrived, unless a rule states otherwise. A Game Action that is caused by a Rule instead of by a Forum Post takes place at the time specified by the rule.

A text to the effect that "any player may do X" should be interpreted to mean that X is a Game Action; but such a declaration implies that only players may take the Game Action X (unless another declaration permits other Outsiders to as well).

}}

{{
__Submission__

The rules may state that it is legal for Outsiders to Submit certain document types as a Game Action. To Submit a Game Document, an Outsider must provide a full description of the Document in the Public Forum message where they take the Action of Submitting. 

}}

}}


I also propose:
{{
__But only if you can speak__

Replace the text of rule 16 [[Fora]] with:
{{
__Fora__

A Forum is a means by which Outsiders can communicate. Fora may be Private or Public; all Fora are Private until a rule makes them otherwise.

An Outsider using a Forum is considered to be "in" that Forum at the time of its use. Actions may only be taken in appropriate public fora, but if taken in private fora by mistake, they may be recognized by the entity responsible for recognizing it at eir discretion.

If there are no Public Fora, then a majority vote of all Off Leave players shall be sufficient to designate any forum as Public.

The FCC may designate a Public Forum to be only valid for certain specific game actions. Said designation, however, cannot leave any valid game actions with no Public Forum in which they can be taken.

}}

Add a new subsection to section D of rule 625 [[Ministries]]:
{{
__The Ministry of Communications__
The Ministry of Communications is a Ministry; its Minister may be called the Fair Communications Commissioner, or the FCC. The FCC is responsible for maintaining a Public Display of all existing Public Fora. E is also empowered to designate new Public Fora; when e does so, e must notify all players of the new Forum, either by posting to a previously existing public forum, or by sending a message to every player.

}}
