Proto-Proposal: Synaesthesia
(AI = 2, II = 2, please)
Change the title of Rule 2126 to "Ribbons", and amend it to read:
Ribbons are a class of fixed assets. Changes to Ribbon holdings
are secured. Ownership of Ribbons is restricted to players.
Each Ribbon has exactly one color. Colors with different names
are distinct, regardless of spectral proximity. Each color of
Ribbon is a currency.
The Tailor is a low-priority office, and the recordkeepor of
Ribbons.
Ribbons are gained as follows, unless the player already
possesses the color of Ribbon to be gained:
(+R) When an interested proposal is adopted and changes at least
one rule with Power >= 3, its proposer gains a Red Ribbon.
(+O) When an interested proposal is adopted by voting with no
valid votes AGAINST, its proposer gains an Orange Ribbon.
(+G) At the end of each month, each player who held at least one
office continuously during that month gains a Green Ribbon,
unless e violated a requirement to submit a report within a
time limit.
(+C) When a player deputises for an office, e gains a Cyan Ribbon.
(+B) When a player assigns a judgement to a judicial question
other than a question on sentencing, e gains a Blue Ribbon,
unless e violated a requirement to submit that judgement
within a time limit.
(+K) When a player assigns a judgement to a judicial question on
sentencing, e gains a Black Ribbon, unless e violated a
requirement to submit that judgement within a time limit.
(+W) When a first-class person becomes a player for the first
time, e gains a White Ribbon. When a first-class person
has been a player continuously for at least three months,
was never a player before that period, and names another
first-class player as eir mentor (and has not named a
mentor in this fashion before), that player gains a White
Ribbon.
(+M) When, during Agora's birthday, a player publicly acknowledges
the occasion, e gains a Magenta Ribbon.
(+U) When a player is awarded the Patent Title Champion, e gains
an Ultraviolet Ribbon.
(+V) When a player is awarded a Patent Title, e gains a Violet
Ribbon, unless e gains a different Ribbon for the award.
(+I) When a player is awarded a degree, e gains an Indigo Ribbon.
(+Y) At the end of each month, for each contest that awarded
points to at least three different contestants during that
month, the contestmaster gains a Yellow Ribbon.
If this rule mentions at least six different specific colors
for Ribbons, then a player CAN destroy one Ribbon of each such
color in eir possession to satisfy the Winning Condition of
Renaissance.
Upon the adoption of this proposal, for each color of Ribbon, each
player who owned at least one VC and/or 100 Marks of that color
immediately before the adoption of this proposal gains that color
of Ribbon.
Change the title of Rule 2176 to "Notes", and amend it to read:
Notes are a class of assets. Ownership of Marks is restricted
to players.
Each Note has exactly one of the standard twelve pitches (ignoring
octaves, and treating enharmonics as equivalent). Each pitch of
Note is a currency.
The Conductor is an office, and the recordkeepor of Notes.
Notes are gained as follows:
(1) At the end of each week, for each player, let X be the
number of eir proposals that were adopted during that
week, and let Y be the number of eir interested quorate
proposals that were rejected during that week with
VI >= AI/2:
(F#) If X > Y = 0, then e gains an F# Note.
(F) If X > Y > 0, then e gains an F Note.
(A#) If Y > X = 0, then e gains an A# Note.
(A) If Y > X > 0, then e gains an A Note.
(2) (E) At the end of each week, each player who published
at least one weekly report during that week gains
an E Note.
(Eb) At the end of each month, each player who published
at least one monthly report during that month gains
an Eb Note.
(3) (D) At the end of each week, each player who published
at least one on-time judgement during that week gains
a D Note.
(4) (C) At the end of each week, each player who gained at
least one Point during that week gains a C Note.
(C#) At the end of each week, each contestmaster who
awarded at least one Point during that week gains
a C# Note.
Notes CAN be spent (destroyed) as follows:
(1) A player CAN spend three Notes forming a major chord to
increase another player's VVLOP by 1.
(2) A player CAN spend five Notes forming the start of a scale
to increase eir own VVLOP by 1.
(3) A player CAN spend three Notes forming a minor chord to
decrease another player's VVLOP by 1.
(4) A player CAN spend two Notes of the same pitch to make
another player gain one Note of that pitch.
(5) During Agora's Birthday, a player CAN spend Notes forming
a standard rendition of "Happy Birthday" to satisfy the
Winning Condition of Musicianship, unless another player
has already done so during that Birthday.
[Future proposals can define ways to gain G, Ab, B.]
Create a rule titled "Rests" with Power 2 and this text:
Rests are a fixed currency. Ownership of Rests is restricted
to players.
Whenever a player possesses a Rest, the Conductor CAN destroy
it and award a Note of random pitch to that player, and SHALL
do so as soon as possible.
Upon a correct announcement by the Conductor that no player
possesses a Rest, this rule is repealed.
[Rests might be re-used later, if someone can think of a good way to
add durations to the system.]
