Proposals A-20


Proposal "A"


Author: Philo
Date: April 12, 1998
Text:
Change the text of Rule 3 to the following, delimited by ###:
###
Any player may make a proposal by sending it to the Secretary of Truth. The Secretary of Truth assigns it the least positive integer not previously assigned to a proposal and must then distribute it to all players within 7 days. For the following 7 days the proposal will be Active. When it ceases to be Active, the Secretary of Truth will announce all players' votes and the following steps will be performed by the appropriate officers:

1) Each player who voted LOYAL on that proposal will receive one loyalty point and have eir vote changed to the vote made by a majority (a majority is defined for the remainder of the ruleset as strictly greater than one half of a group with the same vote or opinion) of the Revolutionary Party. If no vote was made by a majority of party members, then the players who voted LOYAL will have eir vote changed to what the Secretary of the Central Committee voted.
2) The total number of FOR and AGAINST votes on that proposal will be summed.
3) If more of the votes cast on that proposal were FOR than AGAINST and the members of the Revolutionary Party did not all vote AGAINST, then the person who made the proposal will receive two loyalty points if e is not a member of the Revolutionary Party, or one point if e is. The game state will then be changed as specified in the proposal. (Whenever a proposal specifies the creation of a rule without specifying a number for it, the rule receives the least positive integer not previously assigned to a rule.) If the votes do not meet the stated condition, the person who made the proposal will lose one loyalty point.
4) All players who voted NONE on that proposal will lose one loyalty point.

Proposal 5


Author: Towsner
Date: April 26/28, 1998
Text:
Create a rule with the lowest unused integer greater than 0, named "Justice" and reading as delimited by ORDER
ORDER
MacroNomic has a court system. There are three types of issues that may be brought to the court. They are civil, criminal, and natural. The Secretary of Justice is responsible for administrating the court system.

If a player questions the proper interpretation of a rule, the proper action is to file a Call for Judgement with the Secretary of Justice. The CfJ should contain a statement and reasoning to explain the statement. The Secretary of Justice will then randomly select a player who did not file the CfJ to judge it. The possible judgements are that the statement was TRUE or FALSE. The judge should inform the Secretary of Justice within one week of their judgement and their reasoning to support it. The Secretary of Justice will then inform the populace of MacroNomic of this decision.

If a player believes that another player has done something defined by the rules to be a civil crime, and they are specified to be the victem, then they (the plaintiff) may file a civil suit against that person (the defendant) with the Secretary of Justice, along with an explanation to support their case. The Secretary of Justice will then select one member of the Central Commitee and two players who are not, none of whom are involved in the suit, and announce all three judges and the content of the suit. The defendant then has one week to publicly defent themself. The three judges will have one week to deliberate and announce a decision agreed to by at least two of the judges. That decision may be either PLAINTIFF or DEFENDANT. If the decision is PLAINTIFF than it should include a penalty for the defendant. If the decision is DEFENDANT than it should include a penalty for the plaintiff. The appropriate Secretary's should carry out the penalty.

If a member of the Central Committee believes that a player has committed a criminal offense than that member may initiate criminal proceedings against them. A member of the Central Committee may never commit a criminal offense. A member of the Central Committee initiates criminal proceedings by informing the Secretary of Justice of the crime and reasoning to support the case. The Secretary of Justice selects one random player who is neither a member of the Central Committee nor the person accused, as well as both members of the Central Committee who did not initiate the proceedings to be judges, and announce the judges and the content of the proceedings publicly. The accused has one week to publicly defend themself, and the three judges will then have one week to decide the case. At least two of the judges must agree to the judgement, which must be either GUILTY or INNOCENT. If the judgement is GUILTY than the judges should include a penalty.

Title: A minimal Economy
Text:
There exists something called the Revolutionary Warchest which starts with 100000 rubles.

Create a new rule with the MONEY delimited text.
MONEY
The sum of the number of rubles owned by all players added to the amount of rubles still in the Revolutionary Warchest will always sum to 100000. [rubles can not be created or destroyed].

When a proposal is submitted, the author of that proposal recieves 5 rubles. [helping to advance the state of the game is a good thing]

If a proposal is allowed to be retracted, and the author of the proposal retracts it, then that player loses 6 rubles. [No fair submitting and retracting to gain cash.]

When a proposal is passed, all players who voted FOR the proposal receive 5 rubles.

When a proposal is rejected, all players who voted FOR the proposal are fined 5 rubles.

A player who voted LOYAL neither gains nor loses rubles, regardless of the final vote that their LOYAL vote caused them to cast.

If a player has less than 10 rubles at the time they vote, the only legal vote for them to cast is LOYAL.

Each existing player and any new player (upon joining the game) is given 100 rubles.

Any text contained between {{ }} is considered to be self-deleting text. This text is applied to the current gamestate once and then removed from the proposal/rule before the proposal is enacted into a rule.

If a player questions the proper interpretation of a rule, the proper action is to file a Call for Judgement with the Secretary of Justice.

The possible judgements are that the statement was TRUE or FALSE. The judge should inform the Secretary of Justice within one week of their judgement and their reasoning to support it. The Secretary of Justice will then inform the populace of MacroNomic of this decision. The decision should be based on, in order of priority, the text of the rules, the spirit of the rules, and game custom.

If a player believes that another player has done something defined by the rules to be a civil crime, and they are specified to be the victem, then they (the plaintiff) may file a civil suit against that person (the defendant) with the Secretary of Justice, along with an explanation to support their case.

If a member of the Revolutionary Party believes that a player has committed a criminal offense than that member may initiate criminal proceedings against them. A member of the Revolutionary Party may never commit a criminal offense. A member of the Revolutionary Party initiates criminal proceedings by informing the Secretary of Justice of the crime and reasoning to support the case.

A proposal may contain a series of modifiers at the beginning. A modifier may not follow anything other than a modifier.
The following are legal modifiers:
  1. "Supercedes " followed by the number of an Active proposal which was written by the author of the modified proposal. The proposal which is named by this modifier ceases to be Active, and is considered "superceded". If the number is either inactive or has a different author from the author of the modified then this modifier is ignored.
  2. "Linked " followed by the number of an Active proposal (the named proposal). If the named proposal is superceded then the linked proposal will be treated as if it was linked to the superceding proposal. When the linked proposal ceases to be Active, if it would normally pass it instead becomes "quiescent" and neither causes any changes to the gamestate or is considered to have passed or failed until the named proposal either passes, fails, or becomes irrelevant. If the named proposal fails or has already failed then the linked quiescent proposal will become irrelevant. If the named proposal passes or has already passed then the linked quiescent proposal passes as well, generating the normal effects or a passing proposal.
