Wooble registers. Zefram proposes "speaker as an office". 7/4 Murphy protoes "Three-Tone Economics" (colored Voting Credits, must spend different colors to gain votes). Peekee's Hidden Agoran Protectorate Nomic requests Protectorate status. 7/5 Zefram protoes "judicial reform" (questions, subclasses, civil -> criminal, support-based appeals). 7/6 Goethe protoes "We Agree to Rules" (rules as binding agreement between all players). 7/8 Zefram protoes "judicial reform" (added panels). Proposal 5061 (explicate personhood) is adopted, explicitly defining persons. 7/9 Murphy proposes "Three-Tone Economics". comex claims to change eir nickname to Murphy, then CFJs that (the other) Murphy has violated the "no same names" rule. E is later accused of lying in eir first claim. 7/10 Peekee's Agora Partnership #1 (Peekee and Jon) is announced, but ineffective because it only devolves obligations to Peekee. Murphy protoes "Return of switches". Proposal 5070 (speaker as an office) is adopted. 7/11 Zefram proposes "better VLOP balance after wins" (change BVLOP from 1 to 4, to avoid giving an overwhelming advantage to players with lots of Voting Credits). Goethe protoes "Pledges". Zefram proposes "degrees by proposal". Murphy proposes "The org chart is not flat" (higher salary for weekly vs. monthly reporting officers). 7/13 Zefram proposes "judicial reform". Murphy protoes "Expanded foreign relations" (with Canada). 7/17 Murphy protoes "The Republic of Agora" (mostly thematic renamings). Zefram proposes "limited VC market" (spend 2 of a color to give someone else 1 of that color). Zefram CFJs on whether Primo Corporation is a protectorate due to claiming "This agreement ... permits Agora to make changes" without specifying a mechanism. 7/18 Proposal 5076 (Three-Tone Economics) is adopted. CFJ 1684a (did partnerships work before legislatively enabled?) is assigned. One of the justices is either Human Point Two (a partnership) or Murphy (a partner thereof), depending on the answer. CFJ 1703 (was comex's change of nickname to Murphy effective?) is judged FALSE (fails CFJ 1361's "can be used to pick em out"). CFJ 1704 (is Primo a protectorate?) is judged TRUE (Agora's proposal system is a sufficiently defined mechanism from the perspective of both Agora and Primo). CFJ 1687 (can a Colorado agreement be an Agoran partnership?) judgement of FALSE is sustained. CFJ 1696-97 (is Gunner Nomic 2.0 no longer a partnership and/or player?) are judged on the basis that it never was (it claimed to be a binding agreement, but not that it would be governed by Agora). 7/20 Antonio Dolcetta becomes a watcher. Zefram CFJs on whether B Nomic was a Protectorate (similar to Primo and Gunner, but without partnership or contract issues complicating the question). 7/21 Zefram proposes "simpler deputisation". Murphy proposes "Interest Index". 7/22 Proposal 5082, 5085 (degrees by proposal) and 5086 are adopted (possibly ineffective due to error in vote tallies). CFJ 1707 (was B Nomic a Protectorate?) is judged TRUE (similar to CFJ 1704). 7/23 Wooble becomes inactive. CFJ 1621 (is GreyKnight a player, despite having announced "I deem myself to be deregistered"?) is judged TRUE (to deem is to opine, not to act). Murphy protoes "Return of the Virus". Murphy proposes "Regulate ID numbers". 7/24 Murphy proposes "Return of switches" and "The org chart is not flat". 7/25 Zefram proposes "make chokey reduce voting power". Proposal 5097 (limited VC market) is adopted. 7/26 Zefram CFJs on whether non-player contract parties are bound by Rule 1742's requirement to obey contracts. Murphy protoes "Civil cases revisited" (criminal cases generalized to lawsuits, criminal if rules allegedly violated, otherwise civil). 7/27 Murphy announces intent to panel-judge CFJ 1684a in favor of partnerships working all along (relevance of Rule 754 is insufficiently unambiguous to overrule CFJ 1623). comex causes Agora to become a B Nomic faction. 7/31 Proposal 5103 (simpler deputisation) is adopted. Proposal 5082, 5085 (degrees by proposal) and 5086 are definitely adopted.
