I know that I for one read over it and liked the idea and wasn't sure
whether it was would work as is, but didn't have thoughts on how to
improve it, therefore I didn't comment. I'm sorry that I wasn't very
helpful, but I don't have ideas on how I could be.

just not noticed it yet, does it really not have much wrong with it,
or am I just too impatient?

Okay, the second draft is finished. I've changed a bunch of stuff,
it's almost a completely different proposal now. I've taken into
consideration almost everything Aris and Alexis mentioned, so I've
given them co-authorship as well.
I'm sure it's still got plenty of flaws. But it should be better.
I'm just going to post this and go to bed now. I'll see what
people think in the morning.
Title: "A Reward for Obedience v2"
Author: ATMunn
Co-Author(s): Aris, Alexis
AI: 1
Create a new power-1 rule titled "Medals of Honour"
{
Medals of Honour are a destructible fixed currency tracked by
the Herald.
[One note on this section here: I don't know whether or not
it's implied that players should be able to, by some means or
another, challenge whether or not a player is eligible if e
believes it is invalid.]
In the first week of an Agoran Month, any player CAN declare
emself to be eligible for a Medal of Honour by announcement if all
of the following are true:
* E has made at least 1 message to a public forum in the last
Agoran month.
[I really don't like having to include this, but if I don't
then players that literally do nothing can be eligible for Medals
of Honour.]
* E does not have negative Karma.
* In the last Agoran month, e has not had a Card issued to em.
[I'm not exactly sure how to word the broken pledge thing, so
I've left it out for now.]
[I've never written a rule containing an Agoran Decision
before, so I'm sure there's lots of flaws in this. I mainly copied
stuff from various places in the rules.]
In the second week of an Agoran Month, if there are any
players who are eligible for a Medal of Honour, the Herald CAN, by
announcement, and SHALL in a timely fashion, initiate an Agoran
Decision on who is to be awarded a Medal of Honour.
For this decision, the valid votes are all players who are
eligible for a Medal of Honour, the vote collector is the Herald,
and the voting method is instant-runoff.
Upon the resolution of this decision, its outcome is awarded a
Medal of Honour.
If, at any time, any player has 6 or more Medals of Honour,
and e has not won via this rule previously, e can win the game by
announcement, destroying all of eir Medals of Honour.

Thanks, both of you, for your suggestions. I'm working on a
revised version at the moment. One idea I had, regarding what
Alexis said about the idea of players declaring themselves
eligible for a Badge of Honor, (now Medal of Honour) is the
idea of the recordkeepor initiating an Agoran Decision on who
will get the medal. All players who declared themselves
eligible for a medal at the time of the initiation of the
Agoran Decision would be the possible votes. This would ease
the load on the recordkeepor even more, as e would only have
to worry about initiating and resolving the election.

I'd go with "Badges of Honor are a destructible fixed
currency tracked
by the Referee" (which would make the holder restriction
unnecessary),
or, if you want them to be transferable "Badges of Honor
are a liquid
currency tracked by the Referee. Ownership of Badges of
Honor is
restricted to players".
I have three further comments. First, this might be
something best
tracked by the Herald (maybe even the Tailor, as ribbons
work on a
similar basis), who deals with matters of honor. E would
have to check
the Referee's report, but right now the Referee has to
check the
Herald's report, so there's really no change. Second, you
should
probably change it not to have "badge" in the name, as
badges are
already defined by Rule 2415. Third, you could consider
having persons
be able to own them. If that was true, but gaining one was
restricted
to players, the effect would be that a person who
deregisters and
reregisters would get to keep eir badge count, the same
way it is for
ribbons.
