Proposal: Robot Friendship

Passes 3-1 after 48 hours. -Bucky

Add a new subrule to “Stamps”. Call it “Reward by Proxy” and give it the following text:

The Visitor who was most recently admitted to the Robot Race is publicly tracked alongside the identity of the Robot Operator.

When the Robot earns a stamp associated with a letter that it did not already have a stamp for, the Visitor who was most recently admitted to the Robot Race is awarded the “R” Stamp if their Group is still the Robot Operator.

The scoring system changed! It made R Stamps worth a lot more than other Stamps, and whoever has the controls of the Bot right now is in a good position to grab the easiest one, and (maybe) hang on to control of the Bot to keep the +30 bonus.

Kevan, I’m the one with a head start - nobody can get the R stamp until I’m done fishing Bucky Bot out of the toilet.

You’re reading “No Visitor can be removed from the Bathroom except by the Group that controls them” as not permitting the Robot Operator to have the Bot walk elsewhere “as though they controlled the Robot”?

That’s a possible reading which parallels my argument in https://blognomic.com/archive/quorum_quandry_core_special_case_appendix which was deemed unsound.
