<proposal title="proposal to revamp the proposal/scoring system">
enact a new rule entitled "Activity Points" with the following text:

Definition:
"Activity Points" (APs) are Objects. They are awarded to players for activity 
within this game of nomic. APs can be created, destroyed and transferred only 
as defined within the rules. APs are different from regular Points.

GETTING APs
1. For each ballot item a Player votes on (either with a yes or no vote) e is 
awarded a single (1) AP.
2. For each Judgement a Player makes, e is awarded 5 APs

SPENDING APs
Activity Points can be spent on proposals.

--END OF NEW RULE--


enact a new rule entitled "FPCs and Making Proposals" with the following
text:

MAKING PROPOSALS

Each Player gets one Free Proposal Coupon (FPC) each week. If, at the end of 
an nweek, a Player's FPC has not been used, then it is destroyed. FPCs are 
Objects.

To make a proposal, a Player do one of the following:
1. spend a FPC (destroying it in the process)
2. pay to the Bank 4 Points
3. spend (thus destroying) 3 Activity Points

---END OF NEW RULE---

Amendments:

Amend R231/1 to read:
"Whenever a Proposal is adopted, the Bank owes:

1. the Adopted Proposal Award to the Proposal's owner
2. the Opposed Minority Award to each Agent who voted against the Proposal
"

and amend R323/0 to read:
"Once per nweek, the Banker may set the Point values of the Adopted
Proposal and Opposed Minority Awards such that the value of each is
neither less than zero no r greater than twenty. "

[[thus getting rid of the Failed Proposal Fine]]

</proposal>


This proposal:
encourages people to vote (by giving them APs)
encourages people to make proposals by rewarding them for passage
rewards people for passed proposals
restricts the number of props a player has at one time, so no flooding
does not punish players for failed proposals


Should I include abstain votes to get APs?
Are 4 Points and 3 APs fair numbers?
Is 5 APs too much for a judgement?
