I like this system. More incentive to create proposals can't be a bad thing. As regards fixing the rejection penalty to always be positive, I feel like it would be more elegant to take adoption index directly into account instead of just specifying a minimum penalty. Something like (AGAINST * AI - FOR), rounded down to the next smallest integer?
I am a little disappointed that you're making Points totally replace Economics and the rest of PAoaM - not because I'm utterly against a full repeal in itself, but because I've been spending the last few days working on a series of proposals to tweak it and the effort will be wasted if this passes. Oh well. I may just submit and pend some of them anyway, since Aris' Free Proposals seems likely to pass. -twg ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On July 9, 2018 2:33 PM, Kerim Aydin <ke...@u.washington.edu> wrote: > > > Proto-proposal for a simple game to replace land (perhaps temporarily) > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Oldschool Ordinals (Points!) with Zombies (OOPZ) v0.1 > > (or, an "economy" in 2 rules). > > // Comment lines are marked like this. > > // Points come and go - they've been gone for quite a while this > > // time around.
