A Non-Swinger may choose to Back a Swinger as a public action. If the Swinger and more than half of that Swinger's Backers accept the Non-Swinger publicly, than the Non-Swinger ceases to Back any other Swingers, and becomes a Backer of the Swinger who accepted him. A Backer may cease to Back a Swinger as a public action. As a public action, a Backer may approve a Support Payment of a specified number of A$. If, within seven days, more than half of the Backers of the same Swinger approve the Support Payment, it is Ordered. One week after the Support Payment is ordered, all active Backers of that Swinger automatically transfer the specified number of A$ to the associated Coalition. Backers who don't own the specified number of A$ cease to be Backers; this is the only way a Backer can cease to be one involuntarily. If a Swingership is Warm, a Backer may publicly approve that it be transfered to a specified player. If, within one week, more than half of the Backers approve that the Swingership be given to the same player, and the player accepts, than the Swingership is transfered to that player. As a public action, A Backer may approve changing the Swinger's salary. If more than half of the Backers of a Swinger approve the same salary change with seven days, the Swinger's salary is set to that amount. Coalitions are unownable, named entities. Each Swingership has an associated Coalition. Coalitions may only own A$ and Point Pointers. A Swinger may order eir Coalition to buy PartyChessPieces for the Swinger as a public action. The cost of the piece is transfered to the Treasury from the Coalition, and the Swinger receives the PartyChessPiece. If the Swinger would not be allowed to purchase the Piece, e may not order eir Coalition to. Point Pointers are ownable, nameless entities which may not be owned by anything other than a Coalition. FRIENDSANDFAMILY Replace section 4 of rule 12-8-4 with "A player may resign eir Swingership at any time, at which point it becomes unowned and Warm." Amend section 2 of rule 12-8-4-1 to read " a) A Swinger's salary is of the form "a+b". a is the number of raw points the Swinger receives, and b is the number of half-shares the Swinger receives. b) Every Monday each Swingership receives a number of points equal to the number of Swingers (excluding Swingers on Vacation, but including Acting Swingers) with equal or lower Weights to be distributed to the Swinger and the Backers. First the number of raw points the Swinger receives are taken out. Then the remaining points plus one point for each Point Pointer owned by the Coalition are distributed so that each Backer receives an equal share, and the Swinger receives b halves of that. If the points cannot be distributed evenly, as many points as possible are distributed, and the Coalition receives one Point Pointer for each point not distributed. Regardless, the old Point Pointers are destroyed. ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 4057 accepted From: ackabot@ackanomic.org Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 16:19:51 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4057 Acceptance Index: 259: proposal accepted Votes to accept: /dev/joe 100 ==> 100 else...if 100 ==> 100 JT 59 +20 ==> 140 Studge 100 ==> 100 K 2 100 ==> 100 Votes to reject: Eric. -100 ==> 100 Danek -100 ==> 100 Abstainers: r-attila the farce Calvin N Hobbes Laa Laa Vynd 404 Not Found Robin Hood rufus WoHo ThinMan Euphrates Blest Lax Monk Pal O Olde Alpha IdiotBoy Wild Card Slakko two-star Subject: Acka: Proposal 4057 Proposal 4057 Point of Order Slakko Due: Mon Feb 8 14:28:10 1999 Status: accepted Amend Rule 8-4, "Winning by Points", to read as delimited by AHHA! below: AHHA! Points are entities. It is possible for a Player to have a negative number of points. The number of points a Player has is commonly referred to as his or her score; when it is specified that a Player's score is changed, the appropriate number of points are created or destroyed in order to accomplish the specified change. A player's Magic Number is the number of points they need to win a cycle by points. A player's Magic Number is equal to (500 + 50*C), where C is the number of cycles that player has won. A player achieves a Winning Condition at the instant their number of points first reaches or exceeds their Magic Number in any given Cycle, provided that no one else has previously had a score reach or exceed their Magic Number during that cycle. If the rules specify that a player, other than the ScoreKeeper, gains a winning condition as a result of having a certain number of points, the scorekeeper may declare them to have won. If no player objects to the Scorekeeper's declaration within three days, then the above-mentioned player wins the Cycle and the winning condition is destroyed. (Otherwise, the player may still resort to CWCFJ as outlined in Rule 8.) A Cycle-Win CFJ shall be judged INVALID if it claims a Winning Condition which is subject to a declaration by the scorekeeper, made according to the previous paragraph, and no player has objected to that declaration. If two or more voting players reach their Magic Number at exactly the same time, as determined by the Scorekeeper, both shall have achieved a Winning Condition. If two or more voting players reach the Magic Number at substantially the same time, and the Scorekeeper, in a good faith attempt, cannot determine which of the players reached it first, then the players are deemed to have reached their Magic Numbers at exactly the same time, and the preceding paragraph shall apply. Making this determination is a duty of the Scorekeeper. AHHA! Amend Rule 8-2, "End of Cycle", by replacing sections f) and g) with the following ENDHALVE-delimited text: ENDHALVE f) All players except the winner have their score halved. The winner has their score reset to zero. g) All players receive A$ equal to the change in their score resulting from the application of section e). ENDHALVE Amend Rule 8-2 "End of Cycle", by replacing sections i) and j) with the following SIMPLE-delimited text: SIMPLE i) The cycle number is incremented. SIMPLE In Rule 8-2, "End of Cycle" relabel sections k, l, m and n to j, k, l and m respectively. In Rule 6-5-6, "Illuminatus", replace "5/6 times the Magic Number" with "100 points less than eir Magic Number". ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 4058 accepted From: ackabot@ackanomic.org Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 16:20:01 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4058 Acceptance Index: 36: proposal accepted Votes to accept: /dev/joe 100 ==> 100 JT 75 +13 ==> 153 Studge 100 ==> 100 K 2 61 +20 ==> 120 Votes to reject: else...if -100 ==> 100 Eric. -100 ==> 100 Danek -100 ==> 100 Abstainers: r-attila the farce Calvin N Hobbes Laa Laa Vynd 404 Not Found Robin Hood rufus WoHo ThinMan Euphrates Blest Lax Monk Pal O Olde Alpha IdiotBoy Wild Card Slakko two-star Subject: Acka: Proposal 4058 Proposal 4058 Bureaux De Change Slakko Due: Mon Feb 8 14:28:28 1999 Status: accepted Any player may perform any of the following conversions as a public action (where K is some positive integer): (i) The conversion of K points into 2 K Ackadollars.
