Blue AI Mechanic Details

Specific Positions
  1. For all the things that you think are fine, say "That's fine."
  2. For all the things that you think are not fine, put forth an opposing position. (It should be opposing but along the same lines, rather than orthogonal. Don't counter "AIs must be registered with the government" with "All AIs get free ice cream at the post office.")
  3. For all things that you think should be included but aren't (such as what exactly an AI is, or whether copying without permission is kidnapping), put forward a position. We'll put forward an opposing position or say "That's fine."
  4. The status of all disputed positions starts at 0. 2 is all the way to one side or another.
  5. For any position in contention, people can Testify for their position. This requires a Pre of Mind roll with Law, or a Str of Mind roll with half of Persuasion. You may add AI Psychology, but not AI. Take this roll, and draw that many cards from a normal deck of cards. Construct your best poker hand. Compare it to the poker hand that the government lawyers draw. The status moves one in the direction of the winner.

    Each person playing may do this once per position. Or, they may help someone else with their roll. No doing both.

  6. The farther away from zero something gets, the more solid it will be in future law. However, the courts may still overturn things which are patently unreasonable, and future events may or may not cause the laws to shift.
