in #steemfield5 years ago

Proposal #1 has passed!

The final vote (by weight):
in favor: 1.000
against: 0.000

The rule has been added to the rule set and comes into effect for this round. Now begins the next proposal phase. This phase will continue for the next 48 hours. Users are permitted to submit their proposals via comment to this post.

Here's the current land distribution. Congrats to these users as they are proud holders of LAND in this new digital frontier.

@lextenebris: 1 LAND (+1 LAND)
@bengiles: 1 LAND (+1 LAND)
@eonwarped: 1 LAND (+1 LAND)

There is still lots of LAND left for the taking for those that are seek to place their stake in Steemfield. The game is still open and Steem users may enter and exit the game as they please.

Implementation Details

Proposals

Proposals will be made by commenting (no posting) on the results post using the following format. All relevant content must be contained with line separators (three or more dashes) as well as the curly brackets with the proposal and type inside separated with a colon. You should also include the effected rule (by section & number OR by quoting the rule) if the proposal is a replacement or subtraction. Remember there are rule change types: ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, REPLACEMENT. All discussion and reasoning should occur outside the line separators.

{PROPOSAL:REPLACEMENT}

Replacement: Gameplay, Rule 4

The cap on total land is 500.


I think that the cap on land is too low and given the number of players in the game, individuals will struggle to get to even double digit LAND.

Voting

Voting is rather straight forward. You simply comment below a proposal either YES or NO within curly brackets. You may then add anything else to that comment that you desire. Note that voting more than once (or proposing for that matter) may result in punishment by the totem (see rule changes above).

Example

{YES}

Because the cap on LAND is too low and I really want some more LAND.

Totem Behaviour

Every round, the Totem must provide a 100% up vote to all Proposal and Vote comments left by players in response to a Totem update which contains a Proposal or Vote.


Basically, the Totem gets mechanically bound to provide votes to the players. Now, before anyone asks, the intention is not for the votes to have to wait until the Totem has 100% VP, it only specifies that it must be a 100%-weight vote. I suppose other details would have to be at the discretion of the Totem unless otherwise defined and other rules or mechanics.

Also, get out there and do a little recruiting for this game. Nothing says people can't jump in at any point – all they have to do is drop the very small delegation. It's early days still and there are very few rules in play or likely to be in the near future.

Go find some people who enjoy thinking about rules and tinkering about with games from the inside.

I had a particularly similar proposal to this haha. I like your variant better so I think I will propose something else.

Part of the fun is working out how you can eloquently manipulate the system three steps ahead to do what you want it to. Or just to be maximally chaotic.

Either way, there's fun to be had.

{YES}

I think it's a perfectly reasonable rule.
Got to have some incentive to play ;)

A truly cruel man would point out that we are still in the proposal period and that, technically, voting now before the Totem update with the collated grouper proposals is a rules violation.

I'm not that cruel.

Oh, I hadn't seen that there were different periods for voting and proposing. Darn.

Technically wouldn't that just mean my above comment just doesn't count as a vote, rather than being a rule violation ?

There's no rule against agreeing with a proposal, even if that agreement is expressed using the voting syntax, is there ?

I suppose, technically, it doesn't count as a vote – so you may be onto something there. Up to the Totem it in this case because it is underspecified.

There is absolutely no rule against agreeing with the proposal, discussing a proposal or engaging with the proposal – as those things are completely unspecified.

(Honestly, this would only be worth being a stickler over in a truly cutthroat game or if there were automated tools reading the comments and parsing them into some sort of easily managed front end for the Totem. As far as I know, those tools are not completed yet so it's not that big a deal.

It's fun to rib you over, though.)

Touche sir !

I don't think there is anything in the rules that says you can't cast pointless votes during the proposal phase. An example of a rules violation would be something in direct conflict with the rules like voting twice during the voting phase or submitting multiple proposals or try to giveaway LAND they don't have.

{PROPOSAL: ADDITION}

Gameplay

If a player recruits a new player, which will be determined by the new player mentioning who referred them, the new player and the referee are granted 1 LAND each.


We need more players, and more ways for LAND to be distributed for interesting dynamics.

Interesting. Though it probably needs to be refined by specifying when in the round phases that allocation will occur. Without that, I'm not sure that I could put the force of my vote behind this proposal.


{PROPOSAL:ADDITION}

Addition: Gameplay

The user whose proposal is accepted by a majority of users in a round earns 1 LAND extra at the start of the new round, if land is still available from the Totem distribution pool.

If a tie occurs, or only a single proposal was submitted, no LAND is awarded from this rule.


I think a recompense for those who get a proposal accepted is only fair :)

I'm already trying to resist making slightly more complex proposals like using rollthedice or rolld20 to distribute a bonus or forcing you all to get a ticket for #monsterrafflethree 😜 (though if you accepted such a proposal it'd surprise me 😅😅)

It is theoretically possible that a proposal could be passed and accepted without receiving the majority of YES votes if there is a wide enough disparity between antes.

Which could mean the receiver of this additional LAND would not be the player whose proposal was voted in.

And that's amusing.

They'd have won the popular vote 😆

And that's why we have the Electoral College!

Er, dynamic voting power!

Isn't one of the rules right niw that the max effective delegated Steem Power is 1 ?

That one would need to be modified first for anyone's antes to be different wouldn't it ?

Posted using Partiko Android

One can actually join the game by anteing less than one SP, because there is no minimum.

In order to become a player in the game, any user must delegate any amount of Steem Power to the totem.

Not that I expect there to be a lot of players who are interested in engaging who delegate less than 1 SP, but it's theoretically possible. Or, in the future, someone could modify the maximum delegation power to a higher number and only some of the players might adopt that.

This is the fun of designing rules which can be exploited in the future!

Just a friendly reminder that you are free to revise your proposals based on any feedback you may receive so that you don't violate the one proposal per proposal phase rule. You may also remove the tag at the top to cancel your proposal (although I recognize at the moment there is little incentive to). Everything is locked in at the end of the phase.
