Proto-Proposal: Little Dutch Boy
(AI = 3, II = 2, co-author = omd)
Amend Rule 2186 (Victory) by replacing this text:
a) For each Winning Condition satisfied by at least one of
those persons, its cleanup procedure (if any) occurs.
with this text:
a) For each Winning Condition that is satisfied by at least
one of those persons and has a cleanup procedure, the
rule defining that procedure causes it to occur.
Amend Rule 1728 (Dependent Actions) by replacing this text:
1) Without N Objections, where N is a positive integer no
greater than 8.
2) With N Supporters, where N is a positive integer.
with this text:
1) Without N Objections, where N is a positive integer no
greater than 8. ("Without Objection" is shorthand for
this method with N = 1.)
2) With N Supporters, where N is a positive integer. ("With
Support" is shorthand for this method with N = 1.)
Amend Rule 1586 (Definition and Continuity of Entities) to read:
If multiple rules attempt to define an entity with the same
name, then they refer to the same entity. A rule-defined
entity's name CANNOT be changed to be the same as another
rule-defined entity's name.
A rule referring to an entity by name refers to the entity
that had that name when the rule first came to include that
reference, even if the entity's name has since changed.
If the rules are repealed or amended such that they no longer
define an entity, then that entity and its attributes cease
to exist.
If the rules are amended such that they define an entity both
before and after the amendment, but with different attributes,
then that entity and its attributes continue to exist to
whatever extent is possible under the new definitions.
Upon the adoption of this proposal, all voting periods that began
more than fourteen days ago and are still in progress end.
Amend Rule 107 (Initiating Agoran Decisions) by appending this text:
The voting period for a decision cannot be longer than fourteen
days.
Amend Rule 754 (Definition Definitions) by replacing this text:
(2) A term explicitly defined by the Rules by default has that
meaning when used in any Rule of equal or lesser power, as
do its ordinary-language synonyms not explicitly defined by
the rules.
with this text:
(2) A term explicitly defined by the Rules, along with its
ordinary-language synonym not explicitly defined by the
rules, by default has that meaning when used in any Rule of
equal or lesser power, as well as any Rule of greater power
that is clearly intended to comply with that meaning.
Amend Rule 2153 (Interest Index) by replacing this text:
An entity's interest index is an integer from 0 to 3, default
value 1.
with this text:
Interest index is a switch, possessed by certain types of entities
as specified by other rules, whose possible values are the
integers from 0 to 3, and whose default value is 1.
