Alright, here’s a V2: { This contract accepts shinies as long as it has fewer than ((Pend Cost) + 1) shinies. It accepts no other assets. This contract maintains a piece of state known as the Proposal Puddle, containing a set of micro-proposals each consisting of a title, adoption index, autho

This gives me the idea to make a master contract of a sort with a lot of sub-contracts. Nesting, ho! On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 6:09 AM, Gaelan Steele wrote: > I disagree—just because a proposal provides the text of a document doesn’t > mean that the document is part of the proposal and is evaluat

I disagree—just because a proposal provides the text of a document doesn’t mean that the document is part of the proposal and is evaluated when the proposal gains power. For instance, when a proposal creates a rule, the text of the rule doesn’t gain power as part of the proposal (the proposal do

No, it doesn't. If the full PROPOSAL is adopted, . r106 first gives power to the whole proposal, including all of its micro-proposals. Then, if the proposal doesn't give power to a micro-proposal, that micro-proposal still has the power it got from r106 and still goes into effect. On Wed, 14

Yes, I know. The way the contract works is this: - People submit micro-proposals - Every week, I create and pend a proposal with all of the micro-proposals submitted that week - If adopted, the PROPOSAL simulates an Agoran Decision for each micro-proposal and “adopts” (gives power to) the ones wh

Ah gotcha - I don't think this works though, because R106 gives everything In the proposal power first? I think the opposite might work, where you depower each piece that fails. On Wed, 14 Feb 2018, Gaelan Steele wrote: > Contract doesn’t give power. Contract obligates me to pend a proposal whi

Contracts cannot do things on their own, which is why they have to have an agent to effect any actual change. But they can obligate a player to do something since they're basically a block of rule text that you get to choose if you want to follow. On Feb 14, 2018 21:46, "Gaelan Steele" wrote: >

Contract doesn’t give power. Contract obligates me to pend a proposal which, if adopted, gives power to some or all of its sub-proposals. Gaelan > On Feb 14, 2018, at 8:32 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > > Can a contract give power to anything? > >> On Wed, 14 Feb 2018, Gaelan Steele wrote: >
