ID: 8638
Title: Cyan Ribbon Patch
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: secretsnail
Co-author(s): Madrid
Amend Rule 2438 (Ribbons) by replacing "Cyan (C): When a person
deputises for an office, that person earns a Cyan Ribbon" with
"Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office, and that person has not
held or deputized for that office within the past 7 days, that person earns
a Cyan Ribbon".
[Fixes an issue which lets a player repeatedly deputize for an office and
award emself up to 5 cyan glitter.]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8639
Title: sole quorum
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: G.
Co-author(s):
Amend Rule 879 (Quorum) by changing its power to 3.
[the basic definition of quorum should be power-3 along with the rest of
voting, right?]
Amend Rule 879 (Quorum) by replacing:
As an exception to the previous paragraph, the quorum of an
Agoran decision can never be less than 2. If the rules would
attempt to set the quorum of an Agoran decision to less than 2,
it is set to 2 instead.
with:
As an exception to the previous paragraph, the minimum quorum of
an Agoran decision is 2, or 1 if there are fewer than 2 players in
the game. If the rules would attempt to set the quorum of an Agoran
decision to less than the minimum quorum, it is set to the minimum
instead.
[If 1 person is the only player, that should be quorum. Less than 1 is
game-breaking trouble, so minimum=1 protects extra against the final
deregistration]

ID: 8640
Title: Minor ruleset edits
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: R. Lee
Co-author(s):
Amend rule 1023, "Agoran Time" by removing the text "Eastman
weeks begin at midnight UTC on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd,
and 29th of each Gregorian month; the fifth one of the
month (if any) lasts till the end of the month."
and by removing the text
"(e.g. Eastman weeks)"
Amend rule 2531, "Defendant's Rights" by removing the last semicolon
and the last "or" after section (9) and by inserting the text " or"
between the word "Finger" and the semicolon at the end of section (8).
Retitle rule 2531, "Defendant's Rights" to "Defendants' Rights"

ID: 8641
Title: Degrees are for persons
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Jason
Co-author(s): G.
Amend Rule 1367 ("Degrees") by replacing "A specified degree CAN be
awarded" with "A specified degree CAN be awarded to a person".
[Require that degrees are given to persons for their hard work, rather
than arbitrary entities.]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8642
Title: Hot Potato patch v2
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Jason
Co-author(s): Ørjan
Amend Rule 2645 (The Stones) by replacing "This stone cannot otherwise
be transferred" with "If this stone is not owned by Agora, it cannot
otherwise be transferred".
[Allows transferring the Hot Potato stone from Agora in order to allow
it to actually be auctioned off.]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8643

Adoption index: 1.7
Author: G.

The above notwithstanding, the investigator CANNOT resolve a
Finger Pointing for which e is the perp.
with:
The above notwithstanding, the investigator CANNOT resolve a
Finger Pointing for which e is the perp or the finger-pointer.
[if referee is vacant, someone could point a finger and deputise to
resolve it in the same message - independence needed].
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8644
