Alright, I've taken the feedback and rewritten it. As always, I'd love
feedback on it.
Title: Talismans
Adoption index: 3.0

For the purposes of this proposal, a player's prior master is eir master
before this proposal applies any effects.
Amend Rule 2532 to read, in whole:
{
A talisman is an indestructible asset, tracked by the Registrar, and
with ownership wholly restricted to players and Agora. There exists
exactly one talisman for each player; if one does not exist for a
certain player, it is created in eir posession. Talismans CAN only be
transferred as explicitly specified by the rules.
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, a player CAN, by announcement,
transfer the talisman for em to emself. The master of a player is the
entity that possess eir talisman. A player who is eir own master is
active; any other player is a zombie (syn. inactive).
The master of a player CAN act on behalf of em to perform any action
except the following:
- initiate, support, object to, or perform a dependent action;
- act on behalf of that zombie's zombies;
- bid in a zombie auction;
- enter a contract, pledge, or other type of agreement;
- initiate a Call for Judgement;
- create blots;
- deregister.
If a master causes a zombie to perform an ILLEGAL action, the master
commits the Class 4+N Crime of Masterminding (where N is the class of
the illegal action).
If an active player who was a zombie has not received a Welcome Package
since e most recently ceased being a zombie, and if eir resale value was
less than 2 at any point during eir most recent time as a zombie, then
any player CAN cause em to receive a Welcome Package by announcement.
}
Amend Rule 2574 to read, in whole:
{
Any player CAN, with notice, transfer the talisman for an active player
who has not made a public announcement in the past 60 days to Agora.
Resale value is a secured natural switch for zombies, tracked by the
Registrar, with a default value of 2. Whenever the talisman for a zombie
is transferred to a player, that zombie's resale value is decreased by
1. At the end of a zombie auction, the resale value of every zombie that
is an excess lot in that auction decreases by 1.
The talisman of a zombie with zero resale value CANNOT be transferred to
any player other than that zombie.
Any player CAN, with notice:
- If a zombie has been a zombie for the past 90 days and not had
Agora for a master during any of that time, transfer the talisman for em
to Agora;
- If a player possesses more than one talisman, specify transfer one
of those talismans to Agora;
- Deregister a zombie whose resale value is zero and for which Agora
possesses the talisman.
The Registrar SHALL track the date that a talisman for each zombie last
belonged to Agora in eir weekly report. The Registrar SHALL perform all
POSSIBLE actions in the preceding paragraph in a timely fashion after
first reporting their possibility via the facts in eir weekly report.
}
[Zombie auction rules TBD; probably needs to be coordinated with any
auction reform.]
Amend Rule 2575 by replacing the final sentence with
"Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the talisman for the Distributor
is possessed by emself, and e CANNOT deregister or be deregistered."
For each player who is not eir own prior master, transfer the talisman
for em to eir prior master.
