Ascension Address: Morning Routine
A cold autumn morning in the tail end of the 1970s, and you tune your shortwave radio to the usual frequency, resting it on the chipped kitchen windowsill to lessen the static. As you clear away paperwork and prepare an early breakfast, the ancient, recorded voice drifts over you, looping through its staccato sequence of numbers. You pause and focus as 6:43am approaches, and now, for the first time since you were stationed here, the words begin to change.
Remaining calm, you pick up a pen and sketch the new number on the back of a takeaway menu. As the voice returns blankly to its usual loop, you rifle through a cutlery drawer and draw out a slim notebook. Among the tightly-ranked lines of code numbers, you find the matching five digits.
You have been activated.

Throughout the ruleset, replace “Befuddled” with “Agent”, and “Riddler” with “Director of Operations”.

Can’t find anywhere better to comment on the win, so well done Kevan! (And it all happened so quickly, too; I’m surprised you can DoV in less than 24 hours without the Director of Operations commenting on it, but it seems that indeed you can.)
My big mistake in that rule was mixing up rulesets of different nomics, I think. Most nomics explicitly have rules stating that proposals do nothing unless they pass. (For instance, Agora has rule 2140 <http://agora.qoid.us/current_flr.html#rule-2140> that prevents non-enacted proposals changing any aspect of a rule’s operation.)
