This reintroduces an old Agoran idea of Budget Switches. These are
values that are normally only set during elections, making certain
values in the rules politically determined. In this particular version,
radiance is removed from Herald and given to the new office of
Radiologist. During elections for the Radiologist, each office proposes
values for the radiance gained from the Radiance Conditions, and the
winning officer's values are adopted.
Budget Switches can also be flipped by consent or without objection.
This makes these values negotiable without proposals, which I think is
more interesting.

Retitle R2656 to "Radiance and the Radiologist".
Amend R2656 by replacing "tracked by the Herald" with "tracked by the
Radiologist".
Re-enact rule 1957 at Power=1 with the title "Budgets" and the following
text:
A Budget Switch is a switch defined as such by the Rules.
A Proposed Budget is a document purporting to be such and listing
clear and unambiguous proposed values for each Budget Switch
tracked by a given office. During the nomination period of an
election for an office, if that office trackes any Budget
Switches, each candidate SHOULD publish a Proposed Budget.
When an election is resolved with a winner, all Budget Switches
tracked by that office are flipped to the corresponding value in
the Proposed Budget the winner submitted during the nomination
period, if e did so. Otherwise, they remain at their current
values.
A player CAN flip a Budget Switch without objection; an officer
required to track a particular Budget Switch CAN flip it without
three objections, or with Agoran Consent.
Amend R2657 to read in full:
For each Radiance Condition, there is a corresponding non-negative
integer budget switch, with a default value of 0, tracked by the
Radiologist in eir weekly report.
Each time a player fulfills a radiance condition, e CAN once,
within 14 days, by announcement (specifying any indicated info)
gain X radiance, where X is that radiance condition's budget
switch's value.
Below is the complete list of radiance conditions:
* Being the author of a proposal that takes effect, at the
instant it finishes taking effect (must specify proposal
number).
* Being a coauthor of a proposal that takes effect, at the
instant it finishes taking effect (must specify proposal
number).
* Having an Agoran Birthday.
* Judging a CFJ that e was assigned to without violating a time
limit to do so, unless at the time of judgement the case was
open due to self-filing a motion to reconsider it (must specify
CFJ number).
