I was looking at 2016 for other reasons so here's a pass at it if ok? It was the quietest year on record, with some months having absolutely no official posts. I think the following is best candidate because it was an entirely new concept that fit the spirit of the time (quiet), and seemed at the time as a minor silly thing, but it ended up leaving a deep legacy despite its simplicity: ---------------------------------------- *7811 ais523 1.0 Winning by apathy Create a new rule "Victory by Apathy" with power 0.3: A player CAN Declare Apathy without objection, specifying a set of players. Upon doing so, the specified players win the game. ---------------------------------------- Runners-up: *7815+ Alexis, aranea 3.0 Agencies created the current version of acting-on-behalf - useful to the current game but not too different from past implementations. *7809 G. 1.0 Quill and Tournaments The Quill part was just an edit - this created the modern version of Tournaments. But again we'd had versions of that before. *7831 Alexis 3.0 Vigilante Justice The full creation of the cards system of justice (many pieces of which remain in the Referee rules). *7833 ais523 2.1 Agoran Festivals Creation of Festivals. *7838 o, nichdel, G., Ørjan 2.0 Simple Economics v2 The last proposal of the year was really a "preview" of the 2017 economic era. Showed we were starting to think about it but all the aspects of it (e.g. currency balances as natural switches) were replaced in 2017. There were only 45 proposal in the whole year here's the complete list: *7794 Murphy 1.2 Organization cleanup *7795 aranea 1.2 Income Cap x7796 Henri 1.0 Credits v2 *7797 Henri 1.0 Salary x7798 Henri 1.0 Civilian Prosecutors x7799 Henri 1.0 Prime Minister *7800 Henri 1.0 Motion of No Confidence *7801 G. 1.0 Automatic Trust x7802 ais523 1.0 Promotion Points *7803 G. 2.0 Self-service judiciary *7804 nichdel 3.0 Fixed Easier Deputisation *7805 nichdel 1.0 The Reportor *7806 G. 1.0 Uprooting *7807 aranea 2.0 s/I(?=ADoP)// *7808 G. 3.0 Win at any Power *7809 G. 1.0 Quill and Tournaments *7810 nichdel 3.0 Cleerer Registrar Responsibilities *7811 ais523 1.0 Winning by apathy *7812 G. 3.0 Persons Can Win *7813 aranea, G. 1.0 No Dungeon *7814 o 3.0 FOR Require Intent on Ballots *7815+ Alexis, aranea 3.0 Agencies *7816+ Alexis, o, aranea 3.0 Voting Strength Fix (PENDING, BUGGY) *7817+ aranea 2.0 Prime Minister Voting Strength *7818 ais523 1.0 Make Spending Power More Useful x7819 Alexis 1.0 Legislating Convention x7820 Alexis, ais523 1.0 Official Clarification *7821 Alexis 3.0 This One's A Scam *7822 Alexis 1.0 Stop That x7823 Alexis 3.0 Vigilante Justice *7824 aranea, ais523 3.0 Office Incompatibilities *7825 aranea 2.0 Vote collector for ADoP elections x7826 ais523 3.0 Slower stale proposal removal x7827 aranea 2.0 Overriding Incompatibilities *7828 aranea, ais523 2.0 Boolean Switches V2 *7829 Alexis 1.0 Rename Fix x7830 ais523 1.0 The List *7831 Alexis 3.0 Vigilante Justice *7832 Alexis 3.0 Quintessential Parameters *7833 ais523 2.1 Agoran Festivals *7834 ais523 3.0 Rush of Ribbons *7835 Alexis 3.0 Bullet Fix *7836 ais523 1.0 Victory Elections *7837 ais523 1.0 Era Fix *7838 o, nichdel, G., Ørjan 2.0 Simple Economics v2
