Nope. The Rule says 1/2, and does not mention rounding, therefore... 9/2=4.5

Experience did ask me what happened if the number was odd and I replied with you round down. I guess he did not add that to the law... my bad.

I propose an amendment to the law

Law of Amendment reward/punishment: All future amendments that pass have a reward of 1/2 of the reward of a law that passes. All future amendments that do not pass have a fine of 1/2 of the current punishment.

I propose Rule of Commerce: The Highprince of Commerce shall have the responsibility of keeping track of sphere counts for all the players and princedoms in the game. These counts must be posted once per day at least by the Highprince or another member of his princedom. The penalty for 10 pages elapsing between sphere censuses is ten spheres per set of ten pages missed: the reward for each census posted on-time is five spheres. The penalty for major errors in listing princedoms/titles is five spheres, and the penalty for incorrectly listing # of spheres is ten spheres (unless a correction is posted along with a public apology, in which case the penalty is reduced to two.)

To be amended as such:

Rule of Commerce: The Highprince of Commerce shall have the responsibility of keeping track of sphere counts for all the players and princedoms in the game. The counts must be in alphabetical order. These counts must be posted once per page at least by the Highprince or another member of his princedom. The penalty for 5 pages elapsing between sphere censuses is ten spheres per set of 5 pages missed: the reward for each census posted on-time is 2 spheres. The penalty for major errors in listing princedoms/titles is five spheres, and the penalty for incorrectly listing # of spheres is ten spheres -(unless a correction is posted along with a public apology, in which case the penalty is reduced to 5.)-

It is in the most recent version also sphere/atium count would be overpowered

I do not find any evidence of that fact anywhere in the thread. Could you perhaps direct to me to that location?

I find this extremely rude.  

Also, I ran out of time to say it before, so I'll say it now. I don't think that being forced to italicize text will improve this game. All it will do is make it a headache to read or write anything relating to commerce.

The Beggars Feast : any players who reach less than 0 Spheres are subject to the Beggars Feast. During this time (once every 3 pages) all players with under  spheres are on the council and can propose laws that have a @Experience contained within.

I'm confused by this rule. A ninja is not a number.

King of Urithiru: The King of Urithiru has control over the Knights Radiant (powers, abilities and duties to be determined in a later proposal or amendment) is a title gained in the same way as the title of Highprince of Enter duty here; by asking for the title and then being approved by the King. The King of Urithiru also has control of the fabrial technologies (also to be determined later)

Chronologically speaking, Urithiru was not discovered until after the Parshendi were defeated. We don't have to follow the timeline, I suppose, but it would be fun to have fights with the Parshendi.

I am actually going to make a proposal suggestion to this amendment.   Law of Amendment reward/punishment: All future amendments that pass have a reward of 1/2 of the reward of a law that passes, rounded down. All future amendments that do not pass have a fine of 1/2 of the current punishment, . if the fine is odd, after dividing by two you rounded down. I think that's a more elegant way to phrase it.

Also, here's your daily dose of census, sorted by join date.

Name	Title(s)	Sphere count
@Experience	King of Alethkar	0
@Danex		11.5
@Somebody from Sel	Highprince Roion	0

I propose a new rule The Kings Wit

At any time the King may elect a player for the position of Kings Wit which comes with a 5 sphere payment per page. The Kings Wit also has the duty of finding and reporting loopholes in laws as well as choosing which law takes precedent when they contradict each other and the optional duty of insulting people and proposed laws.

I also propose The Highprince of War 

the duty of the Highprince of War is to be able to take down a proposal for a 20 sphere charge and the ability to once per page go on a go fight and gain a gemheart which would be worth 5 spheres however if a player races you for the gemheart and has less spheres than you  they get the 5 spheres. If anyone wants to take down a proposal they may pay the Highprince of War 25 spheres. 20 of which will go to paying for taking down the proposal. The other 5 will go to the Highprinces own coffers. Any proposals take down with the aforementioned method cannot be posted or amended by either the same player or other players.

I also propose an amendment to Rule of Commerce:  The Highprince of Commerce shall have the responsibility of keeping track of sphere counts for all the players and princedoms in the game. These counts must be posted once per page at least by the Highprince or another member of his princedom. The penalty for 5 pages elapsing between sphere censuses is ten spheres per set of 5 pages missed: the reward for each census posted on-time is 2 spheres. The penalty for major errors in listing princedoms/titles is 9 spheres, and the penalty for incorrectly listing # of spheres is 9 spheres  (unless a correction is posted along with a public apology, in which case the penalty is reduced to 3.) Emphasizes my own changes I changed 5s to 9s for Odium reasons (because he reigns) and 2-3 because 3 goes evenly into 9

And the The Proper Naming of Spheres 

all mentions of spheres in future posts must italicize the word sphere(s) or else you lose the number of spheres equivalent to the number of spheres that the offending word is used in reference to.

1. Accepted. I appoint xino as the King's Wit!

2. I won't deny it quite yet, because there is some potential. The main thing is that it doesn't make very much sense, at least to me, and it sounds like it's multiple laws. And getting rid of a law like that doesn't really work...

3. Maybe get rid of the part with another member of his princedom? 

4. Rejected. No.

I propose the following to be amended as (changes in red, explanations in blue)

Quote

The Rule of Proposal Format: All proposals must have a name, and must be entirely bolded. The name must be underlined. The name must be on the same line as the rest of the proposal and have a colon on the end. The colon is not (this is because it can get confusing to refer to a law with a colon at the end. The colon shows that more will follow and if one were to refer to the name only and not the rest it could cause slight confusion) considered a (added a space for grammar and clarity) part of the name and must be underlined. The bolded text will be exactly what will appear in the King’s Rulebook. Any proposal formatted incorrectly is automatically rejected and the Proposer is fined accordingly. Clarifications and examples can be highlighted blue (this is to make it easier to see clarifications), but those will not be added to the Kings Rulebook.

I am very tired so if any of this does not work very well, blame my lack of sleep.

Accepted.

Ok in order it's not removing a law it's removing a non-approved proposal if they don't like it or they don't want the poster to get spheres (ya I'm gonna change that. 5 spheres per page it is)

the King deciding which takes precedent is so close to the King making rules it's silly

Just amend my amendment it doesn't matter and there is no rule saying you can't amend proposals/non-approved amendments 

I'll add a consequence. Also King make Xino the Wit he's already doing the job 

I propose a new rule: The Rule of The Joining and the Gaining

If a new player joins they gain a bonus of 18 spheres in order to give them a helping hand. Any players currently playing at the time of the approving of this post and/or the approving of any future amendments to this proposal (and eventually) law gain a bonus of 9 spheres. 

I am totally not making this rule because I asked Aspire to join. That's propaganda. Or is it 

I also propose The Rule of Information and Council

the person with the title of Highprince of Information has the ability to choose the members of the council. The council must have at least 2 members and the Highprince of Information cannot be on it. The Highprince of Information also controls what matters get taken to the council, however the council can take a vote at any time to take the title of Highprince of Information away from the current holder, this ability is shared with the King.

 

1. Accepted. though someone might want to amend it so that it's based on other's spheres because if people are in the 800's, 18 isn't going to help that much.  Do I need a ninja? I don't even know.

2. Accepted.

The Rule of Amendment Format: An amendment must state the name rule they are amending, then copy the entire rule, with the suggested alterations being either highlighted in red to add a clause or struck-through to remove a clause. Any Examples or explanations must be highlighted in blue. Things highlighted in blue or struckthrough will not be copied into the rule book. Anything highlighted red will be unhighlighted when copied into the rulebook

I propose that The Rule of No Paradoxes be amended as such:
The Rule of No Paradoxes: If a Rule is found to contradict another Rule, the Rule that has existed longer is the one who’s effect is taken into account. The other rule is completely disregarded. If the two contradictory rules were placed into effect simultaneously (i.e. approved in the same post) the King decides which one takes effect. The King may not approve two rules that obviously contradict each other in the same post. This is to keep the King from being too nice. With the current rules the king could approve a rule he would have otherwise rejected, but then still have the rule’s effect not take place. It’s really just a more elegant solution.

Also, right now this rule is kinda in and of itself a paradox. It contradicts the basic rule that the King may not propose laws, choosing which rule gets to stay is essentially the same thing. 

Also also, those basic rules need to be reformatted and added to the King’s Rulebook.

yes I know I stole these from Danex, sorry, but I included a ninja.

1. Accepted.

2. *sigh* Accepted.

On 10/31/2020 at 8:31 AM, xinoehp512 said:

I propose The Rule of Pre-Approval Amendment: Players may propose amended forms of proposed rules that have not yet been accepted. Said "proposal suggestions" are not proposals in and of themselves. This is so they can be distinguished, to keep things simple and avoid contradiction. Proposal suggestions should be composed of the original text, with suggested removals struck through and additions in italic (color may also be added or the italic removed to distinguish alterations if necessary: incorrect formatting should be corrected, but will not be punished). The proposal suggestion may be accepted in stead of the proposal it amends (in which case the formatting will be adjusted to match current guidelines), and the author of the suggestion will receive whatever reward said proposal entails.  I.e. Ten spheres for a rule, 5 for an amendment. The original proposal is removed from consideration if the suggestion is accepted; however, the original proposer will still receive a reward half that of what they would have earned otherwise, rounding up to the nearest whole monetary unit. If the original proposal is accepted, any amendment suggestions to that proposal are similarly removed from consideration, and the authors receive no effect. The King may accept suggestion proposals made concurrent and subsequent to the proposal of this law. That last bit is so that I don't have to wait until after the law is passed to demonstrate the idea.

This rule is to enable amendment on rules that have not yet been proposed, which I feel lacks legal representation. @Experience, note that if you approve the proposal suggestions later in this post, you should probably not approve the proposals they amend, which would affect how you do things.

I will also propose an amendment to The Rule of Proposal Format: All proposals must have a name, and must be entirely bolded. The name must be underlined. The name must be on the same line as the rest of the proposal This pretty much disallows the usage of line breaks in a proposal, and I like line breaks. and have a colon on the end. The colon is not considered apart of the name and must be underlined. The bolded text will be exactly what will appear in the King’s Rulebook. Any proposal formatted incorrectly is automatically rejected and the Proposer is fined accordingly. Clarifications and examples can be added in normal font, differently formatted font (including unbolding and recoloring) Why limit? but those will not be added to the Kings Rulebook. 

Also I propose The Rule of Proposal Disambiguation: Proposals must be declared as proposals to count as proposals. So far there hasn't been any guidance on what counts as a proposal, so we should probably add that.

I will make a proposal suggestion.

How is resolving conflict anything like making rules? It's approving/rejecting rules that other people make, which is exactly the point of the King.

The Kings Wit At any time the King may elect a player for the position of Kings Wit which comes with a 5 sphere payment per page. The Kings Wit also has the duty of finding and reporting loopholes in laws as well as choosing advising which law takes precedent when they contradict each other and the optional duty of insulting people and proposed laws

I will make another proposal suggestion. I think that a better method of gemheart racing/Parshendi fighting can be constructed, but I guess this will do for now.

In that case, it could just get proposed again. All that does is act as an annoyance to the person who made the proposal, which makes things less fun.

The Highprince of War  the duty of the Highprince of War is to be able to take down proposal for a 20 sphere charge and the ability to The Highprince of War may, once per page, go on a go fight and gain a gemheart which would be worth 5 spheres however if a player races you for the gemheart and has less spheres than you  they get the 5 spheres. If anyone wants to take down a proposal they may pay the Highprince of War 25 spheres. 20 of which will go to paying for taking down the proposal. The other 5 will go to the Highprinces own coffers.

I will propose an amendment to the Rule of Commerce: The Highprince of Commerce shall have the responsibility of keeping track of sphere counts for all the players and princedoms in the game. These counts must be posted once per day ten pages at least by the Highprince or another member of his princedom. The penalty for 10 pages elapsing between sphere censuses is ten spheres per set of ten pages missed: the reward for each census posted on-time is five spheres. The penalty for major errors in listing princedoms/titles is five spheres, and the penalty for incorrectly listing # of spheres is ten spheres (unless a correction is posted along with a public apology, in which case the penalty is reduced to two.)

There might be two rules that pertain to different things but happen to contradict each other. For instance, if my Rule of Pre-Approval amendment violated the as of yet unapproved Rule of Linear Time (the first one that Danex posted). The King could want both rules implemented, but be unable to without splitting his approvals into two posts. And of course, accidents could happen.

Because of this, I will make a proposal suggestion to this amendment. The Rule of No Paradoxes: If a Rule is found to contradict another Rule, the Rule that has existed longer is the one who’s effect is taken into account. The other rule is completely disregarded. If the two contradictory rules were placed into effect simultaneously (i.e. approved in the same post) the King decides which one takes effect. The King may not approve two rules that obviously contradict each other a rule that nullifies completely the effect of another approved in the same post. I think this avoids both Danex's worries and mine.

 

1. Accepted. though I am still accepting the laws before they are amended, because amendments can only happen if the law was made before.

2. Accepted.

3. Accepted.

4. Accepted.

5. Accepted.

The King must select someone to become a Regent and must always have a Regent at all times. He may change who is Regent whenever he chooses to. If the King is aware he will be unavailable or absent for longer than three days, he must announce and appoint the Regent during his absence, who will take over the duties of the King until they return. If the King is absent for more than five days, the chosen Regent will automatically take over until his return. The King can reject any rules that the Regent approves in his absence upon his return. The Regent has no other powers other than taking over for the King. 

I do like this idea. Could you maybe have something about the regent keeping track what they approve so that they can show it to the king when they come back?

I propose and amend  The Regent:

The King must select someone to become a Regent and must always have a Regent at all times. He may change who is Regent whenever he chooses to. If the King is aware he will be unavailable or absent for longer than three days, he must announce and appoint the Regent during his absence, who will take over the duties of the King until they return. If the King is absent for more than five days, the chosen Regent will automatically take over until his return. The King can reject any rules that the Regent approves in his absence upon his return, and vice versa. The Regent has no other powers other than taking over for the King. 

Responsibilities of the Regent will include all of the responsibilities of the King, as well as keeping track of all proposals and amendments and whether or not they approved or rejected them for the king upon their return. Failure to do so will culminate in a fine of five spheres per proposal and amendment not kept track of. The Regent must also announce a replacement in the case he also is made unavailable, where that person will become the Temporary Regent until either the Regent or King has returned. Temporary Regent has all the powers and responsibilities of the Regent upon the Regent's absence. If a Regent and a Temporary Regent are both not chosen or available, the players can vote a Voted-Regent into place. The Voted-Regent will carry all the responsibilities of the Regent and can keep power even if the chosen Temporary Regent returns, though they must give back power once the Regent or King returns.

The Regent, Temporary Regent, and Voted Regent cannot earn spheres in their time in power but will be given ten spheres for each day of keeping track of proposals upon the King's return. Every proposal that Regent, Temporary Regent approves and the King rejects or vice versa will result in a fine of one sphere per proposal. The King can decide to offer more or fewer spheres to the Regents for their time in power and can mitigate the one sphere fine, but cannot increase the fine.

Highprinces of (insert element) cannot be made into Regents, Temporary Regents, or Voted Regents. Failure for a Regent to announce a Temporary Regent will result in a fine of ten spheres.

 

I also propose the Voted Regent:

In the case that the King is absent, there is no Regent or the Regent is absent, and there is no Temporary Regent or the Temporary Regent is absent, the remaining players can decide to vote up a Voted Regent. The voting can be started by any player in the case of the absence of all three (King, Regent, and Temporary Regent) for more than four days. The Voting will be handled by Highprince of Information, who will keep track of all the votes. A normal players' vote is worth one, a Highprinces' vote is worth two, and a Highprince of (Insert element) vote is worth three. A Highrpince of (Insert Element) cannot become a Voted Regent. The voting will last three days, where then all votes submitted will be tallied, and the member with the most votes will become Voted Regent. All votes must be Purple to be considered. 

Voted Regent has all the responsibilities of the Regent. The Voted Regent does not have to give power back to the Temporary Regent, but can if they choose to. They must give power back once the Regent or King returns. They lose their title once they forfeit power and the next Voted regent will need to be voted again. There is not a Voted Regent at all times and there is no Voted Regent if the King or Regent is present.

 

[Guest Somebody from Scadrial]

I propose The Law of Fabrials: A fabrial can be purchased for a price set by the King of Urithiru, as long as the King of Urithriru approves the purchase

I also propose The Spanreed: The Spanreed will allow for a player to send a law by PM to the King of Alethkar. This proposal can be approved and it will be placed into the rulebook without telling anyone. This will allow secret laws to be approved this can create all sorts of interesting situations.

There is not a Voted Regent at all times and there is no Voted Regent if the King or Regent is present.

 

Approved and Approved.

I propose The Law of Fabrials: A fabrial can be purchased for a price set by the King of Urithiru, as long as the King of Urithriru approves the purchase

I also propose The Spanreed: The Spanreed will allow for a player to send a law by PM to the King of Alethkar. This proposal can be approved and it will be placed into the rulebook without telling anyone. This will allow secret laws to be approved this can create all sorts of interesting situations.

Approved and Approved.

I don't understand how that would work, please explain.

The Spanreed: The Spanreed will allow for a player to send a law by PM to the King of Alethkar and the chosen Regent. This proposal can be approved and it will be placed into the rulebook without telling anyone. This will allow secret laws to be approved.

 

 

The Regent: The King must select someone to become a Regent and must always have a Regent at all times. He may change who is Regent whenever he chooses to. If the King is aware he will be unavailable or absent for longer than three days, he must announce and appoint the Regent during his absence, who will take over the duties of the King until they return. If the King is absent for more than five days, the chosen Regent will automatically take over until his return. The King can reject any rules that the Regent approves in his absence upon his return, and vice versa. The Regent has no other powers other than taking over for the King, but is required to be present in all secret PMs and made aware of all rules added secretly to the rulebook.

Responsibilities of the Regent will include all of the responsibilities of the King, as well as keeping track of all proposals and amendments and whether or not they approved or rejected them for the king upon their return. Failure to do so will culminate in a fine of five spheres per proposal and amendment not kept track of. The Regent must also announce a replacement in the case he also is made unavailable, where that person will become the Temporary Regent until either the Regent or King has returned. Temporary Regent has all the powers and responsibilities of the Regent upon the Regent's absence. If a Regent and a Temporary Regent are both not chosen or available, the players can vote a Voted-Regent into place. The Voted-Regent will carry all the responsibilities of the Regent and can keep power even if the chosen Temporary Regent returns, though they must give back power once the Regent or King returns.

The Regent, Temporary Regent, and Voted Regent cannot earn spheres in their time in power but will be given ten spheres for each day of keeping track of proposals upon the King's return. Every proposal that Regent, Temporary Regent approves and the King rejects or vice versa will result in a fine of one sphere per proposal. The King can decide to offer more or fewer spheres to the Regents for their time in power and can mitigate the one sphere fine, but cannot increase the fine.

Highprinces of (insert element) cannot be made into Regents, Temporary Regents, or Voted Regents. Failure for a Regent to announce a Temporary Regent will result in a fine of ten spheres.

 

This is so the Regent won't be lost if he has to take over and deal with a bunch of laws he didn't know about or make a mistake because a rule was added without his knowledge

There is a law describing the format for amendments...

Anyway, an explanation for my previous amendment is this.

The highprince of war can post saying they are setting forth for the gem heart once a page. If someone beats the highprince of war to posting that message they get 5 spheres. The Highprince of War gets 10 if he does it first.

That makes more sense and is interesting, and no there isn't. Go check. XD

The Rule of Amendment Format: An amendment must state the name rule they are amending, then copy the entire rule, with the suggested alterations being either highlighted in red to add a clause or struck-through to remove a clause. Any Examples or explanations must be highlighted in blue. Things highlighted in blue or struckthrough will not be copied into the rule book. Anything highlighted red will be unhighlighted when copied into the rulebook.

then what is this that is crossed out?

[xinoehp512 he/him]

This has exploded and I'm not at my normal computer...  !

For now, an amendment to The Rule of Pre-Approval Amendment: Players may propose amended forms of proposed rules that have not yet been accepted. Said "proposal suggestions" are not proposals in and of themselves. Proposal suggestions should be composed of the original text, with suggested removals struck through and additions in italic (color may also be added or the italic removed to distinguish alterations if necessary: incorrect formatting should be corrected, but will not be punished). The proposal suggestion may be accepted in stead of the proposal it amends (in which case the formatting will be adjusted to match current guidelines), and the author of the suggestion will receive whatever reward said proposal entails. The original proposal is removed from consideration if the suggestion is accepted; however, the original proposer will still receive a reward half that of what they would have earned otherwise, rounding up to the nearest whole monetary unit. If the original proposal is accepted, any amendment suggestions to that proposal are similarly removed from consideration, and the authors receive no effect. If both are accepted, the proposal suggestion takes precedence. The King may accept suggestion proposals made concurrent and subsequent to the proposal of this law.

Also, the amendment formatting rule conflicts with the Rule of Proposal Format: it says that additions "must be added in blue", despite the Proposal Format rule outlining normal text as a guideline. Therefore, according to the Rule of No Paradoxes, it must be disregarded. I'll fix the issue when I have time.

That is a law that was semi approved and then I butchered it and made the other one.

Oh, shoot... @Experience, there were seven proposals in my post but you only made five approvals.   

It seems that you missed Proposal Disambiguation and my amendment to Commerce. (As a side note, can I have a pay raise?  I've spent upwards of an hour on this census already).
