I checked the proposal history. There has been a time where Switches had higher Power than Offices, making its switch not a switch, ergo, there have been no Officeholders since (Possibly?).
Of course this would screw over a lot of things, would it be so, but everything we're doing wouldn't actually matter if everything has been bogus since. Proto CFJ "After Proposal 5111 got enacted, there have been no Officeholders." Gratuitous Arguments: - "Switches" (or at least the modern implementation of it, as it wasn't there before) were Created by Proposal 5111 (Murphy), 2 August 2007. You can see that proposal here: http://www.mail-archive.com/agora-official@agoranomic.org/msg08096.html, and it says: Create a rule titled "Switches" with Power 2 and this text: "A type of switch is a property that the rules define as a switch, and specify the following: (...) 2. One or more possible values for instances of that switch, *exactly one of which is designated as the default. *No other values are possible for instances of that switch." - The Power of the Offices rule changed from 1 to 2 by Proposal 5133 (Zefram), 13 August 2007. - Our Anti-Ossification protection didn't exist until Proposal 5536 (Murphy), 7 June 2008, which added: "In the interest of safeguarding Agora's nomic-ness, if a change to the gamestate would otherwise make it IMPOSSIBLE to make arbitrary rule changes and/or adopt arbitrary proposals within a four-week period by any combinations of actions by players, then that change is canceled and does not occur, any rule to the contrary notwithstanding." - From the 2nd of August onwards, we have been in a state were there have been no Officeholders, because Switches need a default, and Officeholders had none, so it wasn't a switch. Proposal 5133, which would've solved the problem, actually hasn't been enacted - because there need to be Office(s) to do so (The Assesor, Promotor, etc). We didn't have the Anti-Ossification rules to prevent this either (and if they did, then Proposal 5111 would've actually never done anything, and we have never actually had our modern Switches) Non-Proposal (and Non-Office dependent rule-changes in general, really) Rule-changes aside, the Ruleset hasn't actually changed since the 2nd of August 2007.
