Proposal: Not On My Agenda

Reaches quorum 6-1 -SingularByte

Adminned at 09 Jul 2023 21:34:25 UTC

If “Unhidden Agendas” is enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the subrule “Initialisation Phase Two”, after the text “the Great Machine must add them to the list of privately tracked Agendas,”, add this text:

tracking the name of the Machinist who submitted each Agenda

and replace the text “Secretly randomly assign Reserve Agendas to Machinists” with this text:

Secretly randomly assign Reserve Agendas to each Machinist, choosing from the Agendas not authored by that Machinist,

An alternate means of preventing Machinists from writing their own path to victory while still preserving hidden Agendas.

for as it’s better than nothing for the most obvious exploit, but opening comments on Unhidden Agendas did touch on deeper issues than just “but what if you get dealt your own Agenda”.

Actually CoV against as this introduces the other problem, whereby punishingly hard agendas become de facto.

Punishingly hard agendas are still probably going to be a thing anyway, whether this passes or not. Both because you’re still fairly unlikely to get one of your own, and because I suspect people aren’t going to want the game to end too fast.
