Adoption Index: 2.0
Author: nix
Co-Author(s): G., ais523, Ja-"the cat"-son, ziproot
Amend R2640, "Stones", by replacing:
The escape risk of the stone, which must be a percentage between 0%
and 100% inclusive;
with:
The smoothness of the stone, which is a non-negative integer;
and appending to the end the following paragraphs:
Mossiness is a Stone switch with values of non-negative integers
and a default of 0 tracked by the Stonemason. When a stone is
transfered, its Mossiness is set to 0. The mossiest stone(s) in a
set of stone is (are) the stone(s) with the highest Mossiness
value.
The Slipperiness of a stone is that stone's smoothness plus its
mossiness.
Amend R2641, "Wielding Stones", by replacing:
If a stone has a frequency, then it is IMPOSSIBLE to wield that
stone if it has been previously wielded in the same Agoran time
interval as indicated by its frequency (e.g. if its frequency is
daily, if it has been wielded in the same Agoran day).
with:
A stone with a frequency that has been wielded in the corresponding
Agoran time interval is Hot for the remainder of the time period
(e.g. if the frequency is daily, it is hot for the remainder of the
Agoran day it was wielded during).
While a stone is hot, it is IMPOSSIBLE to wield it or to transfer
it by any method besides Collection, other rules notwithstanding.
Amend R2642, "Distributing Stones", to be titled "Gathering Stones" and
to read in full:
A player who has not possessed a stone in the last 30 days CAN, by
announcement, transfer the mossiest stone (if there is a tie, then
a specified stone tied for mossiest) Agora owns to emself. SHOULD
specify the stone when doing so.
Amend R2643, "Collecting Stones", to read in full:
Once per month, the Stonemason CAN publish a Collection Notice by
announcement, specifying all necessary information and choices. The
Stonemason SHALL publish such a notice in a timely fashion after
the beginning of each Agoran month.
A Collection Notice includes a random numbers between 1 and 6; this
is the Escape Minimum.
When a Collection Notice is published, for each player eir
non-immune stone with the highest slipperiness equal to or above
the Escape Minimum is transferred to Agora. If there is a tie, the
Stone Mason selects which one escapes. If e has no such stones,
none of eir stones are transferred to Agora. The mossiness of all
stones that are not transferred is incremented by 1.

following format: Stone Name (Frequency, Smoothness): Scroll.
