[s-b] Monty and other props

[Jeremy Cook <athena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose the following Rule:

{{
__Python Enterprises__

There exists the Program List. This is a list of descriptions of
programs or scripts that Players have requested. An entry on the 
list is called a Coil.

Each Coil has the following attributes:

Description, a precise description of the requested script, including
the language the Patron would like the script in.

Patron, the Player who posted the Coil.

Bonus, the goodies that the first player to Wind the Coil receives.


Any player may post a Coil to the Program List by making a statement to 
that effect in a Public Forum, provided that the Description is not 
trivial. [[This is a judgement call that may need to be decided by a Call 
for Judgement.]] Unless the Patron specifies otherwise, the Bonus is 10 
points.

The Patron of a Coil may modify or delete the Coil by posting a
statement to that effect in a Public Forum.

Any player may Wind any Coil on the list by posting a script to a Public 
Forum or privately sending a script to the Patron. If, in the sole 
judgement of the Patron, the script fits the Description, the Player who 
Wound the Coil receives 10 points, and the Coil is removed from the
Program List.

It is the responsibility of the Minister of the Roster to maintain the
Program List.
}}

I propose the following:

{{
__Technological Go__

Add the following to the end of r1854:

{{
Masonry is a Technology that costs 250 research points. An entity
possessing Masonry may attempt to play one Political Go stone without
Moving each nweek. The attempt succeeds with a probability of 1/4.

Mining is a Technology that costs 500 research points. An entity
possessing Mining may attempt to remove one Political Go stone each nweek.
The attempt succeeds with a probability of 1/4.

Theft is a Technology that costs 1000 research points. An entity
possessing Theft may attempt to steal one Political Go stone each nweek.
The attempt succeeds with a probability of 1/4. If the attempt succeeds,
the stone now belongs to the player who attempted to steal it.

Diplomacy is a Technology that costs 500 research points. An
entity possessing Diplomacy may attempt once each nweek to form or break
an Alliance with another Player without Moving. The attempt succeeds
with probability 1/4.
}}

Give r1854 Chutzpah 2. [[So it takes precedence over the Go rule.]]

}}

I propose the following:

{{
__Nomination Reform__

Change subsection B of r625 to the following:

{{
B. Ministerial Elections
At the beginning of each nweek, a General Election is called for all
Free Ministries. The General Election has two phases: Declaration and
Voting. The Declaration phase lasts until the Voting period of proposals
begins, and the Voting phase lasts from then until the end of the nweek.

During the Declaration phase, any Player may Declare eir Candidacy for
any Free Ministry. If e does, e becomes a Candidate for that Ministry.

During the Voting Phase, each Player may submit a vote in favor of one
Candidate for each Free Ministry.

At the end of the Voting Phase, each Free Ministry becomes held by the
Candidate for that Ministry who received the greatest number of votes.
Ties are settled by Kurt Godel.
}}

If p1891 and p1892 passed, change subsection B of r625 to the following:

{{
B. Ministerial Elections
At the beginning of each nweek, an General Election is called for all
Free Ministries. The General Election has two phases: Declaration and
Voting. The Declaration phase lasts until the Voting period of proposals

During the Declaration phase, any Player may Declare eir Candidacy for
any Free Ministry. If e does, e becomes a Candidate for that Ministry.

When the Voting Phase starts, an Election is called with all Players as
Eligible Voters, until the end of the nweek as its Duration, the
Candidates as its choices, Selection Method specified by Kurt Godel, and
Kurt Godel as the Moderator.

At the end of the Voting Phase, each Free Ministry becomes held by the
Candidate for that Ministry who won the Election.
}}

[[my preferred way of handling multiple voting methods.]]
