[s-b] Proposal: Fun with Factions

["Peter Cooper Jr." <pete+bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following proposal:

__Fun with Factions__
{{
  [[
  So, here's my attempt to codify agreements in such as way that they
  don't break things too much. The idea is that a Player can be a part
  of only one Faction at a time, so that should stop people from being
  a part of a bazillion groups at once.

  As always, this is just a starting point. Comments and thoughts
  welcome.
  ]]

  Create a new Section as follows with the enclosed rules:
  __Factions__
  {{
    __Agreements__
    {{
      An Agreement recognized by B Nomic is one that is between two or
      more External Forces called Parties that explicitly describes:

      * The parties to the Agreement.

      * How it is possible to change which parties are part of the
	agreement, if such changes are in fact possible.

      * How any decisions that may need to be made on the agreement's
        behalf will be performed, including how and if any changes to
        the Agreement may occur.

      In addition, an Agreement recognized by B Nomic must:

      * Only have parties that have explicitly consented to being
        governed by the Agreement, and must allow any such party to
        leave the Agreement at any time.

      * Have its Agreement publicly available in an easily accessible
        manner to all Players, such as on a web page.

      While Agreements that do not comply with this rule may be
      recognized by other jurisdictions, B Nomic does not recognize
      them. However, an Agreement does not have to have been intended
      to comply with this rule in order to be considered recognized by
      B Nomic.
    }}

    __Factions__
    {{
      A Faction is an Agreement recognized by B Nomic that is a part
      of this game. An Agreement recognized by B Nomic may join the
      game as a Game Action if the following conditions are true:

      * The Agreement is not already a Faction

      * There exists at least one Player of B Nomic who is a party to
        the Agreement.

      * No Players of B Nomic who are a party to the Agreement are a
        party to any other Faction.

      A Faction may cease to be a Faction at any time as a Game
      Action.

      A Faction automatically ceases to be a Faction if any of the
      following events occur:

      * The Faction ceases to be an Agreement recognized by B Nomic.

      * The Faction ceases to have at least one Player of B Nomic as a
        party to the Agreement.

      * There exists a Player of B Nomic who is a party to the Faction
        who is also a party to another Faction.
    }}
  }}

  [[In case my Posts rule or an updated version of it passes]]
  If there exists a Rule with the text
  {{
  Public Display of the current Players and eir Attributes
  }},
  change that text to
  {{
  Public Display of the current Players and Factions and eir Attributes
  }}.
}}
