The inspiration for this was that it's getting to be difficult to
remember what the self-ratification status is for each VC report,
especially since they always seem to be incorrect or at least disputed
(this seems to be the nature of the report, not any fault of the
Assessor). If we had the office right now, I would want it to be a
weekly report.
It's because pretty much all aspects of the game are tied into the
VC system. But at least it's not as bad as the Payroll Clerk (which
roughly corresponded to Accountor + Registrar + IADoP until the latter
roles were split out again) or Deckmastor (which tracked mostly
non-fungible assets).
This could also be an indication that self-ratification is the wrong
approach to take with the VC report. I've got another idea that I'll
proto up later.
I considered attempting some partial "ratify the portion of the report
that goes up to <cutoff date>" actions, but itemizing the report enough
to make that possible would be a whole extra load of work.
Once a ratification does finally go through, one change I'm definitely
going to make is to record failed changes with a note on why they
failed (e.g. "failed to gain +1R because e already gained +3R the same
week"), in case they turn out not to have failed after all. I may
also start including some "holdings as of <past date>" sections, so
that those can be cleaned up and ratified even while more recent points
of contention continue to be examined.
