I think the proposed fix to Telnaior's scam includes an amendment such that offices can only be defined by the Rules. On 2/16/2019 10:15 AM, D. Margaux wrote:
We must ensure that the Ritual is appeased. I therefore humbly submit to the Agoran public this proto contract: /// This contract is to be known as The Church of The Ritual. Parties to the contract are the faithful; nonparties are heathens. A player can become faithful by announcement upon transferring 5 coins to the Church; a player can become heathen by announcement. The priest and the heretic are imposed offices. The player who first performs The Ritual in any given Agoran week becomes the priest (if faithful) or the heretic (if a heathen). At the start of each Agoran week, the offices of priest and heretic are made vacant. The faithful MUST prevent all players from becoming the heretic; failure to do so is the crime of Abetting Heresy. The heretic MUST be shunned. The priest SHOULD be treated right good. Upon being installed in the office of priest, a faithful CAN once cause the Church to transfer to em 5 coins. If the Church has fewer than 10 coins, any faithful CAN once call a collection by announcement. When a collection is called, the faithful MUST in a timely fashion transfer to the Church a sum of coins equal to 5 / X, rounded up to the nearest coin, where X is the number of faithful.
