Proposal: Corporate business plans

Adminned at 24 Apr 2011 12:51:47 UTC

Part 1:
If there is a rule entitled “Currency”, add the following text at the end of it:

All Corporations also have a Currency Value which is tracked in the GNDT.  Each Corporation’s entry in the GNDT may be distinguished by stars (for example, “**Bananasoft**”) to distinguish Corporations from Investors in the GNDT.

Part 2:
Award 5,000 Currency to each Corporation that is in existence at the enactment of this Proposal.

Part 3:
Add a new dynastic rule entitled “Business Plans” as follows:

Each Corporation has a Business Plan which is set forth at that Corporation’s entry on the BN Index on the wiki.  A Business Plan is a means of generating a positive, negative or zero integer value, whether by means of the GNDT, by reference to information external to Blognomic, or otherwise.  For example, “Add ((1DICE100) - 40) Credits” could be a valid Business Plan (i.e., each time this Business Plan is Run, the Corporation’s Credits are increased (or decreased) by an amount equal to 1DICE100 minus 40.)  Another potentially valid Business Plan is “Add a number of Credits equal to the current temperature in Chicago, Illinois in degrees Fahrenheit (per weather.com), less 50”).  At any time with respect to a particular Corporation, so long as no other Investor has Run that Corporation’s Business Plan within the last 24 hours, any Investor may Run that Corporation’s Business Plan (i.e., compute the number of Credits by which that Corporation’s Credits are to be increased or decreased per its Business Plan, and adjust that Corporation’s Credits in the GNDT accordingly).  A Corporation’s Business Plan may only be changed by a Board Meeting Proposal of that Corporation, but the Market may veto any proposed Business Plan.  The Market is encouraged to explain the criteria that the Market intends to follow when evaluating a Business Plan, such as fairness, the possibility of generating positive or negative results, and lack of ambiguity.

Part 4:
If there is a rule entitled “Board of Directors”, then add “Change the Corporation’s Business Plan (subject to Market approval)” to the list of Eligible Board Matters.

Part 5:
Make"Add ((1DICE100) - 40) Credits” the Business Plan of each Corporation that is in existence at the enactment of this Proposal.

against “Add ((1DICE100) - 40) Credits” isn’t a valid business plan as defined.  “(1DICE100)-40” is.

Huh?
For example, “Add ((1DICE100) - 40) Credits” could be a valid Business Plan

“Add ((1DICE100)-40) Credits” is not a “means of generating a positive, negative or zero integer value”.

against I like the mechanic, but the wording needs fixed/simplified.

Before I repropose (once Ihave proposal slots again), suggest all patches here.

“so long as no other Investor has Run that Corporation’s Business Plan within the last 24 hours”
See last Purplebeard’s Dynasty.

against I’d prefer all Business Plans to be run simultaneously, rather than individually as a daily action.

A Business Plan is a means of generating a positive, negative or zero integer value, whether by means of the GNDT, by reference to information external to Blognomic, or otherwise.

will be replaced by:

A Business Plan is a statement in the form of “Add X Credits”, where X is a means of generating a positive, negative or zero integer value, whether by means of the GNDT, by reference to information external to Blognomic, or otherwise.

Does this work?

Also, the language regarding running Business Plans will be fixed per Purplebeard such that “Rinning the Business Plan” means running all of them.
