Wouldn't that have to be a full rule to actually make it a CFJ?
Also, Agora couldn't reply to such a CFJ in time before the Oracle got
another answer. While I like the concept, and would definitely support
making it an Office with the official duty of sending an askme every
week, we'd need a quicker turnaround.
Actually, proto:
{{{
Add a new power-1 rule, entitled {The Disciple}
{{
The Disciple is an office. The Disciple is the liason between Agora and
the Internet Oracle.
Submitting a message to the Internet Oracle is sending a message to
ora...@cs.indiana.edu such that the reply will come to a Public Forum.
It is ILLEGAL to submit a message to the Internet Oracle except as
directed or allowed by the rules. If a rule directs a player to submit a
message to the Internet Oracle and it is at that time impossible to
cause the reply to come to a Public Forum, e CAN, instead, have the
message sent without causing the reply to come to a Public Forum, and
then paste the content of the reply in a public message.
Every 4 days, The Disciple SHALL submit a message to the Internet Oracle
with the work "askme" in its subject.
}}
Add a new power-1 rule, entitled {Oracularities}
{{
A public message sent from ora...@cs.indiana.edu is an Oracularity.
A player CAN, with 2 support, publish a reply to an Oracularity,
provided no reply has already been published for that Oracularity. Such
a reply SHOULD be a creative, humourous answer written from the Oracle's
perspective, and SHOULD follow conventions of the Oracle (including but
not limited to zotting supplicants who fail to grovel or ask the
woodchuck question, answering the question in a highly roundabout
manner, and demanding some tribute).
Within 48 hours of a reply being published to an Oracularity, the
Disciple SHALL submit a message to the Internet Oracle. The subject of
this message must include the word "answer" and the number found in that
Oracularity's subject line, and the text must be exactly the published
reply.
}}
Flip the Interest Index of the Disciple to 2, to account for the
office's much stronger timing requirements.
Add a new power-1 rule, entitled {Win by Enlightenment}
{{
Upon a Win Announcement that the text of an Oracularity and the
corresponding reply published by an Agoran were published in an Internet
Oracularities Digest (published to rec.humor.oracle and
http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/) within the last month, the player
who published that reply satisfies the Winning Condition of Enlightenment.
