Proto-Proposal: Domestic Trade
(AI = 2, please)
Amend Rule 2166 (Assets) by appending this text to the paragraph
beginning "An asset generally CAN be destroyed":
To "spend" an asset is to destroy it from one's possession
for exactly one purpose as explicitly allowed by its backing
document; if the purpose is unsuccessful, then the asset is
not destroyed.
Create a rule titled "Cimons" with this text:
Cimons are a currency. The recordkeepor of cimons is the
Accountor. Ownership of cimons is restricted to players.
Each ordered pair of currencies (source, destination) has a
non-negative conversion factor, defaulting to zero. If the
source and destination are the same, or if either currency's
backing document is neither the rules nor a public contract,
then the conversion factor is zero and CANNOT be changed.
If a conversion factor (F) is positive, then a player CAN spend
N units of the source currency to gain N*F units of the
destination currency, unless the number of units of the source
currency e has previously spent in this way in the same week is
greater than or equal to the source currency's conversion limit
(if any). A claim to have gained currency in this way is
self-ratifying; however, if it is later discovered that the
claim was incorrect prior to self-ratification, then the player
SHALL destroy N units of the source currency as soon as possible.
When the text of a public contract changes, the conversion limit
of each currency backed by that contract is zero for one week
afterward.
The Accountor CAN change a conversion factor with Agoran Consent.
[Candidates for tradeable currencies include Bb and/or B notes, Points,
Vote Points, and Crops. Contests could also switch from awarding Points
directly, to awarding currencies convertible to Points.]
