Here's a proto to not erase player's festivity when they win by ribbons: Amend Rule 2438 by appending the following to the paragraph beginning "For each type of Ribbon": {
Laudability is a person switch with non-negative integer possible values, defaulting to 0, tracked by the Tailor as part of eir monthly report. When a person owns more types of ribbons than eir Laudability, eir Laudability is set to the number of types of ribbons e owns. } Amend Rule 2480 by replacing: { A player who owns at least N types of Ribbon CAN Start a Rank N Festival, where N is an integer greater than Agora's Festivity, with 4 support from players who own at least N types of Ribbon. Upon doing so, Agora's Festivity is flipped to N. Exception: A player CANNOT do so if Agora's Festivity has had a value greater than or equal to N within the past 21 days. A person who owns a number of types of Ribbon equal to or greater than Agora's Festivity is known as Festive. Other persons are not Festive. } with: { A person whose Laudability is greater than or equal to Agora's Festivity is Festive. Any other person is not Festive. A player who would be Festive if the Festivity was N CAN Start a Rank N Festival, where N is an integer greater than Agora's Festivity, with 4 support from other players who would be Festive if the Festivity was N, except that a Rank N Festival CANNOT be started if Agora's Festivity has had a value grater than or equal to N in the past 21 days. Upon a Rank N Festival starting, Agora's Festivity is flipped to N. } The Laudability of each of the following persons is hereby flipped to the number of existing types of ribbon: * ais523 * Alexis * G. * Jason * Murphy * twg -- Jason Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason
