Here are a few draft proposals to give coins some more uses. For now, they aren't particularly strong and are designed to still allow actions if there are bugs, but with time those protections could be removed. ---- Title: Let's Value Coins for Proposals AI: 3 Author: P.S.S. Coauthors:
Amend Rule 2350, "Proposals" by appending the following paragraph to its end: The Promotor CAN remove a proposal from the Proposal Pool by announcement if it is not pending and has been added to the Pool more than 14 days ago. Reenact Rule 2445 with the following text: Imminence is a switch, tracked by the Promotor, possessed by proposals in the Proposal Pool, whose value is either "pending" or "not pending" (default). Pending List Price is an integer switch, tracked by the Promotor, whose default value is 5. At the beginning of every month, the Pending List Price is set to the mean of the price paid for each proposal pended in the previous month, rounded down. If less than 2 proposals were pended in the previous month, the Pending List Price is set to its default. Pending Minimum Price is, at all times, 9/10ths of the Pending List Price, rounded down. Any player CAN pay Agora a specified amount, which is no less than the Pending Minimum Price, to flip a proposal's imminence to "pending" by announcement. If the specified amount is less than the Pending Minimum Price, then the attempt to pay is INEFFECTIVE, and the proposal's imminence is not flipped. A player SHALL NOT submit and/or pend proposals that, taken collectively, are manifestly unreasonable and excessive (hereafter excess proposals); doing so constitutes the Class-4 Crime of Excess Legislation. The Promotor CAN remove a specified excess proposal from the proposal pool by announcement. If a proposal is ordinary, any officer whose office is interested in the ministry of the chamber to which it is assigned, CAN, without the objection of the Promotor or any other officer whose office is interested in the ministry of the assigned chamber, pend the proposal. Amend Rule 1607, "Distribution" by replacing the fourth paragraph with the following: In a given Agoran week, the Promotor SHALL distribute each pending proposal that was in the Proposal Pool at the beginning of that week, except for those excepted from automatic distribution by other rules, or those that are otherwise removed from the Pool. ---- Title: Let's Value Coins for Offices AI: 2 Author: P.S.S. Coauthors: Amend Rule 2154, "Election Procedure" by replacing the third paragraph with the following: When an election is initiated, it enters the nomination period, which lasts for 4 days. After an election is initiated and until nominations close, any player CAN pay Agora a specified amount, which is no less half of the minimum of the total number of coins earned by the office's last non-Interim holder on the most recent payday and the total number of coins e earned on the most recent Payday, to become a candidate. A candidate ceases to be a candidate if e ceases to be a player during the election or if holding the office would make em Overpowered. ---- Title: Coins and Blots AI: 1.7 Author: P.S.S. Coauthors: Create a new rule, "Indulgences" with power 1.7 with the following text: A player CAN expunge 1 blot from emself by paying 50 coins to Agora. ---- Publius Scribonius Scholasticus
