Proposal: Dealing Refactor (AI=?, II=3)
{{{
Amend Rule 2253 to read as follows:
{{
Cards are any class of assets defined by the Rules to be cards.
For the rules to define a class of assets to be a card, the
Rules must define its Title, its Deck, and one of: its Exploit,
its Position, or its Effect. Card instances of the same class
are fungible. Ownership of cards is restricted to players and
contests, and may be further restricted by the Rule defining a
given variety of Card.
The Dealor is an office, and the Recordkeepor of Cards.
The Dealor CAN, by announcement:
* create a Card in the possession of any entity qualified to
own that Card;
* destroy any Card;
* transfer a Card between any two entities;
however e SHALL only perform these actions as explicitly
required by the Rules, or as would be POSSIBLE and LEGAL for em
to do were e not the Dealor.
The maximum FINE amount for each card is two, except where
specified otherwise.
}}
Set the Interest Index of the Dealor to 3.
Set the Interest Index of the Grand Poobah, the Insulator, and the
Anarchist to 1.
Amend Rule 2255 by removing "whose dealer is the Herald.".
Amend Rule 2257 to read as follows:
{{
Each defined Exploit or Effect card type shall have a Frequency,
which is a non-negative integer defaulting to 0.
The Frequency of each card type is part of the Dealor's weekly
report.
Changing the frequency of each card type is secured, and the
frequency of a card type CAN be changed:
* by the Dealor without 2 objections;
* by any player with Agoran Consent;
* as soon as possible after a player wins an election for
Dealor, if e publicly stated that e intended to change a
given Card's Frequency to a certain value if elected, e
CAN and CALL change that Card's Frequency by announcement,
and SHALL NOT deal a card before e does so.
Whenever the rules indicate that the Dealer SHALL deal a Card to
from a Deck an entity, the Dealor SHALL, as soon as possible,
create a Card from that Deck in the possession of that entity,
with the Card chosen at random from among Cards in that Deck,
with the relative probability of a particular Card being chosen
chosen being the Frequency of that Card. If no Card from the
specified Deck has a positive Frequency, or if the entity is not
eligible to own the Card selected, the Dealor SHALL, rather than
create a Card, announce why e cannot.
}}
Enact a new Rule with Power 2, reading as follows:
{{
The Rules may state that a player Earns a Draw from a given Deck
for various reasons. The Rule stating that a player
Earns a Draw may also state an office responsible for tracking
tracking that Draw; if not specified, the Dealor tracks that
Draw.
After the end of each week, the officers so responsible SHALL,
as soon as possible, publicly post a listing of each Draw Earned
(for which e is responsible to track) during the previous week
and by whom and from which Deck it was Earned.
As soon as possible as a report of Draws Earned for a given week
is issued, the Dealor SHALL, as soon as possible, deal to each
entity named in the report the approrpiate number of cards from
the appropriate deck.
}}
Amend Rule 2258 to read as follows:
{{
Some Decks may be Basic Decks, as defined by the Rules.
Salary is a first-class player switch, tracked by the Registrar,
with possible values N,M,O,P where each letter is replaced with
a defined Basic Deck. The default value for this switch is
Change,Change,Justice,Government. Ordering of N,M,O,P is not a
significant differentiating aspect of the switch value, only the
number of times each deck type is listed within the switch.
A player CAN change the value of eir own Salary switch by
announcement.
At the end of each month, each first-class player Earns a number
of Draws from each Basic Deck equal to the number of times that
deck appeared in eir salary switch at the beginning of the
month. These Draws are tracked by the Registrar.
Office Salary is a switch for each office, tracked by the IADoP,
with possible values being the names of each Basic Deck (default
Government). The holder of each OFFICE CAN change that office's
salary by announcement. At the end of each week, each holder of
an office Earns a number of Draws from the Deck indicated by the
office's Office Salary to the interest index for that office.
These Draws are tracked by the IADoP.
When a first-class player registers, e Earns two Draws from each
Basic Deck. These Draws are tracked by the Registrar.
}}
Amend Rule 2259 by replacing "Accountor" with "Dealor" and by replacing the
last paragraph with the following:
{{
As soon as possible after the beginning of each month, the
Dealor CAN and SHALL by announcement audit, for each Basic Deck,
the entity or entities who owned the most Cards from that Deck
at the beginning of the month.
}}
Amend Rule 2260 by replacing the first two paragraphs with the following:
{{
When a player wins an election, e Earns two Draws from the
Government Deck. These Draws are tracked by the IADoP.
The Deck of Government is a Basic Deck consisting of the
following cards, listed by title followed by Exploit (default)
or Effect (if marked as such).
}}
Amend Rule 2261 by replacing the first two paragraphs with the following:
{{
When a proposal authored by a player is adopted and takes
effect, that player Earns a number of Draws from the Change Deck
equal to the Interest Index of the proposal. These Draws are
tracked by the IADoP.
The Deck of Change is a Basic Deck consisting of the following
cards, listed by title followed by Exploit (default) or Effect
(if marked as such).
}}
Amend Rule 2262 by replacing the first two paragraphs with the following:
{{
When a judge judges an interested case within its time limit, e
earns a draw from the Deck of Justice. These Draws are tracked
by the CotC. If a judge's judgement is OVERTURNED on appeal, one
justice on the appeals panel CAN destroy one Justice card e
indicates in the judge's possession by announcement.
The Deck of Justice is a Basic Deck consisting of the following
cards, listed by title followed by Exploit (default) or Effect
(if marked as such).
}}
}}}
Notes: The idea is to separate card management into a separate office
and make the appropriate officers responsible for tracking deals. The
language for the new rule sucks, I know. Better language would be
appreciated. This proposal also largely obviates the Accountor and
Anarchist; both of which I would propose to get rid of if this passes.
