acka-voting Digest Tuesday, December 08 1998 Volume 03 : Issue 221 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: devjoe@wilma.che.utexas.edu Subject: Acka: Proposal 3883 Date: Tue, 08 Dec 1998 16:32:08 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3883 A Little Profit, A Little Fix else...if Due: Tue Dec 15 16:32:08 1998 {{[Here's the fix. You don't even want to know the other bugs I found in the trading rules.]}} If there is a rule 1009, then renumber rule 1009 to 1021. Amend rule 1021 to read "A Political Party is a nameless, unownable entity. Being a member of more than one Political Party simultaneously is the Crime of Branch-Stacking. At the end of a proposal's voting period, but before votes on that proposal are counted, if every voting player member of a given Political Party voted YES on that proposal, and no member of the Party is also a member of some other Party, then the Political Party itself shall cast an additional YES vote on that proposal for every three voting player members it has. Party membership and how players voted are determined based on the facts in force at the end of the voting period for each proposal. Any player may publically announce eir intent to form a Political Party, unless e is a pseudo-Founder. When a player has done so e becomes a pseudo-Founder for a period of 7-days. 7 days after a player became the pseudo-Founder of a Political Party, if at least 2 other players have publicly expressed interest in joining the party, then the pseudo-Founder forms the Party by paying A$300, announcing a legal name for the Party, and announcing the names of at least three members, one of whom must be the pseudo-Founder, and the others must all have expressed interest in joining the Party. " In rule 1003, replace section I with " A Corporation is a named unownable entity. Any player may publically announce eir intent to form a Corporation, unless e is a pseudo-Founder. When a player has done so e becomes a pseudo-Founder for a period of 7-days. If at the end of those 7 days at least two additional players have publically announced that they wish to join the Corporation the pseudo-Founder intends to form then the pseudo-Founder forms the Corporation by announcing the Corporation's name, paying the standard Harfer's Fee, and announceing the names of its members; there must be at least 3 members, one of whom must be the Founder, and the others must all have expressed interest in joining the Corporation. 120 shares in the Corporation are created and distributed equally among the initial members; excess shares are destroyed. The name must be a legal name. " At the end of the first paragraph of rule 1017, add "When a Trust is created no shares are created in it, however a Trust Fund is only destroyed when specified by its charter." Add to the end of rule 1025 "A player may leave a Party at any time." Amend rule 515 to read " This Rule defers to all other rules which specifically override provisions of this rule. [Rules may specify conditions in which certain trades may not take place, even though this rule specifies that they are legal. Rules may specify alternate means of trading entities, beyond those given here.] A Trading entity(TE) is a Player, an Organization, or a Corporation. A TE may offer a trade of one group of entities for another, by sending a public message specifying the entities offered (if any) and the entities requested (if any), if and only if the trade is legal. If the message further states specifically to which TE the trade is offered, then the trade is exclusive; otherwise it is offered at large. A trade that offers or requests any entity that is not tradeable is illegal. A trade that offers any entity not owned by the offering TE the trade is illegal. All other trades are legal. An offer made in this way stands until it is legally retracted or accepted, or the TE who offered it no longer owns the entities offered, or the offer has been standing for at least three days, whichever comes first. A TE may retract a trade he or she offered by sending a public message to that effect. A TE may accept an exclusive trade offered to him or her, or any trade offered at large [but not one that was offered specifically to someone else], if and only if he or she owns all of the entities requested, in at least the quantities requested. He or she does this by sending a public message to that effect. When a TE accepts a standing trade, if the offering TE still has the entities offered, the entities offered are transferred from the TE who offered the trade to the TE who accepted it, and the entities requested in exchange are transferred from the TE who accepted the trade to the Player who offered it. A TE who owns a gift entity may transfer that entity to another TE as a public action. All trades made as described by this rule are said to occur on the Free Market. A trade or gift must specify a positive, integral amount of entities to be traded.

Missed this.]}} Amend rule 510 to read " No Trading Entity may use more A$'s to buy, trade, give or in any way move out of his account, than there are in his/her account at that moment in time. In other words, a Trading Entity may never voluntarily go into debt, but it is possible that a Trading Entity may go into debt involuntarily. A Trading Entity in debt still earns A$ from events in the game as if they were not in debt. However, they cannot spend any A$ voluntarily until their net A$ balance is positive.
