Add a Tile Action:-

* Work: Apply the effect of the Tool they are holding. If the Tool is an Intricate one, this action costs an additional Turn.

Remove the Turn Costs of all Tools.

Replace “A tool must have the following characteristics: a Turn cost and an effect. A Monk may use a tool that they are holding at any time by spending its turn cost in turns and applying its effect.” with:-

Each Tool has an effect.

Reword the Grinding Stone effect to:-

The Monk using this tool may change the colour of a white tile to match that of a tile which is which is distance 2 from it. This action is known as Grinding. The Grinding Stone is an Intricate Tool.

To the Lump of Clay effect, add:-

The Lump of Clay is an Intricate Tool.

To the Hourglass effect, add:-

. The Hourglass is an Intricate Tool.

In “Energy Bar”, replace “3 Turns” with “4 Turns” and rename the tool to “Tonic Wine”.

Reformat the list of Tools to a simple bulleted list of “Name: Effect”.

Set the special case rule “The Traitor” to active.

Reset all Monk’s Creeds. Monks who have already performed the weekly action to change their creed this week may do it again.

Replace the list of Creeds with the following

life: a Monk knows existence is preferred - Effect: Whenever a Monk with this creed increases the stockpile of a resource by the result of a dynasty action, they increase it by an additional 1
balance: a Monk knows there can’t be one without another - Effect: Whenever a Monk with this creed performs a type of Tile Action which they have not already performed this week, its turn cost is reduced by 1 turn to a minimum of 1
peace: a Monk knows harmony - Effect: Whenever a Monk with this creed completes a Motif, they earn 1 additional guilder
truth: a Monk knows where to go - Effect: Whenever a Monk with this creed spends three or more turns during a single Tile Action, they earn 1 guilder
resolve: a Monk knows how to get there - Effect: Whenever a Monk with this creed performs the action to increase their turns, they earn 10 turns instead of 8.

If the CfJ here: https://blognomic.com/archive/timeskip1#comments has passed, this CfJ does nothing. If it is still pending, fail it.

The usage of a Grinding Stone to set tile 4 19 to Green by Josh as seen here here was legally performed, and set his turns to 0.

Increase the turns of all Monks other than Josh by 1.

Revert the Mosaic to its state prior to this edit. Subsequent provisions of this CfJ affect Idle Monks as well as active Monks. Restore to all Monks any Actions spent on Tile Actions or item usage subsequent to that edit. Revert any Guilder gain by any Monk since the timestamp of that edit.

Card has agreed to be Sylav’s mentor

Add the following to the list of items

Hourglass
:Turn Cost 2
:For the purposes of calculating the cost of future Tile Actions, All Tile Actions taken by the Monk using this tool in the last 12 hours prior to their usage of this tool are not counted

Supply Bag
:Turn Cost 1
:Increase the stockpile of a random material by one

Devil’s Brush
:Turn Cost 1
:Pick a tile without an Inlay and set its Inlay to X, or pick a tile with Inlay X remove its Inlay

Energy Bar
:Turn Cost 0
:The monk using this tool immediately ceases holding this tool and gains 3 turns

Add the following to the rule “Motifs”

A Tile whose Inlay is X never be part of a Motif.

Remove the text “Guilders can be used to buy tools, materials and dyes. At any time, a Monk who is not holding a tool may spend five times the turn cost of any tool in Guilders to gain that tool.” from the rule “Guilders”

In the Tile Action list:

• Before “Change the Color of a white Tile”, add “Copy:”
• Before “Cease holding any tool”, add “Retool:”
• Before “Reduce the Stockpile of a material by one.”, add “Rework:”
• Before “Increase the stockpile of an uncommon resource by 5”, add “Provision:”
• Before “Spend up to 10 Guilders.”, add “Procure:”

Then bold the strings to the left of (and including) colons in that bulleted list.

To the effect of the Grinding Stone, add “This action is known as Grinding.”

I just recently found out about Nomics, and it seems like such a great game idea, so I searched around and found Blognomic, and after a couple days of watching this Dynasty, and reading the rules and all, I decided I want in. So here I am! I think it’ll be a great experience for me. Anyhow, hello everyone!

Replace “resource” with “material” and “resources” with “materials” wherever they appear in the dynastic rules

Increase the stockpile of all common materials by 1000 and uncommon materials by 5

In the definition of “Flower”, replace “a gold Tile where all Tiles adjacent to it” with:-

a gold Tile where all Tiles that surround it

To the rule “The Mosaic”, add:-

For each 3x3 square of Tiles, the centre Tile is said to be surrounded by the other eight. Tiles on the edge of the Mosaic are never considered surrounded.

As written, I think all uses of the grinding stone should have a cost of exactly 1 turn and no more.

Tools says “A Monk may use a tool that they are holding at any time by spending its turn cost in turns and applying its effect”. So you spend 1 Turn and carry out the effect.

The effect of Grinding Stone is to “immediately perform a Tile Action”. 

The rule Turns separates out spending Turns from the actual carrying out of the Tile Action (“In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend” is separate from “As a Tile Action, a Monk may do one of the following”). “In order to perform and tile action” makes spending Turns a pre-requisite of performing a Tile Action, but not actually part of the Tile Action itself. My read of that is that Grinding Stone allows that you (well, actually, requires you to) perform the Tile Action without carrying out the “spend turns” step that comes before it. It contributes to the snowball for subsequent turns but doesn’t actually require any further expenditure.

Solution: change the following text in the rule Turns:

In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend 1 Turn plus 1 additional Turn for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours

As a Tile Action, a Monk may do one of the following:

To read as follows:

A Monk may carry out a Tile Action at any time by carrying out the following steps: first, a Monk must spend 1 Turn plus 1 additional Turn for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours. Then they may choose one from the following:

Add a new subrule to the rule Materials. Call it “Natural Colours” and give it the following text:

Some materials have Natural Colours associated with them. These colours are as follows:
Stone: brown, orange
Fine Sand: white
Wood: brown
Ink: Black
Precious Metal: Gold, Silver

In the rule “Pigments”, change the text

A tile may only have a colour for which the pigment is available.

to

A tile may only have a colour for which the pigment is available or which is a Natural Colour of the tile’s Material.

I ruined the last dynasty to have Monks and an Abbott, I may as well unidle for this one. I won’t attempt Admin actions for a short period of time while I re-acquaint myself with the relevant rules. So would another Admin please unidle me?

In the rule “Turns” replace

Each Monk has a non-negative integer number of Turns, which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki and by default is 5 and has a maximum value of 20. Any attempts to set a Monks turns higher than 20 instead set it to 20. As a weekly action, a Monk may increase their Turns by 8.

In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend 1 Turn plus 1 additional Turn for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours

with

Each Monk has a non-negative integer number of Energy, which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki and by default is 5 and has a maximum value of 20. Any attempts to set a Monks their Energy higher than 20 instead sets it to 20.

Each Monk has a non-negative integer number of Exhaustion, which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki and by default is 0. Any attempts to set a Monk’s Exhaustion below 0 instead set it to 0.

If a Monk’s Exhaustion is 5 or higher, they are Exhausted. An Exhausted Monk may not take any Dynastic Actions other that Rest or any other action that explicitly states it may be taken by an Exhausted Monk.

As a weekly action, a Monk may Rest. When they do so, they increase their Turns by 8 and reduce their Exhaustion by 3.

In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend 1 Energy. Additionally, if they have already performed another Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours they must Exert Themselves by gaining 1 Exhaustion or by spending 1 Energy for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours.

Replace the words “Turns” and “Turn” with “Energy” wherever they appear in the dynastic rules and in any currently pending CfJs and Proposals

Set each Monk’s Energy to whatever value their Turns was immediately before this proposal was enacted.

In the rule “motifs” replace

* A ‘’‘Pennant’‘’ is 2x2 square of Tiles where the top left and top right Tiles are two different colors, and the bottom left and bottom right tiles are those same two colors reversed. Its Benediction is: gain 5 Guilders.
* A ‘’‘Flower’‘’ is a gold Tile where all Tiles adjacent to it are the same color, and that color is not Green or Gold. Its Benediction is: gain 10 Guilders.

with

* A ‘’‘Pennant’‘’ is 2x2 square of Tiles where the top left and top right Tiles are two different colors, and the bottom left and bottom right tiles are those same two colors reversed. Its Benediction is: gain 5 Guilders minus one Guilder for each other Instance of a Pennant which that uses the same set of colors which appears on the Mosaic, to a minimum of 1 Guilder.
* A ‘’‘Flower’‘’ is a gold Tile where all Tiles adjacent to it (its petals) are the same color, and that color is not Green or Gold. Its Benediction is: gain 10 Guilders minus two guilders for each other Instance of a Flower whose petals the same color are the same color as the given instance which appears on the Mosaic, to a minimum of 2 Guilders.

Reduce the cost of white pigment to 0.

If Excommunication of The Bishop has failed this proposal instead does nothing.

Append to “The Mosaic”

Two tiles, A and B, are inverse of each other if the row of tile A equals the column of tile B and the column of tile A equals the column of tile B.

Replace “Change the Color of a white Tile to match the Color of a tile which is adjacent to it” to

Choose a subject tile that is white and change the color of the subject to match the Color of a tile which is adjacent to it

Replace the list of Creeds with

*life: a Monk knows existence is preferred - when taking the change color tile action, you may spend 1 turn to change the material of the subject to a material adjacent to it.
*balance: a Monk knows there can’t be one without another - when taking the change color tile action, you may spend 1 turn to change the color of a tile adjacent to the subject to a color that appears most frequently among the subject’s adjacent tiles.
*peace: a Monk knows harmony - when taking the change color tile action, you may spend 1 turn to change the color of a tile adjacent to the subject to a non-White color that appears either most frequently among the Mosaic.
*truth: a Monk knows where to go - when taking the change color tile action, you may spend 1 turn to swap the subject with its inverse.
*resolve: a Monk knows how to get there - when taking the change color tile action, you may spend 1 turn to change an additional tile of distance 2 to the subject to that same color.

Replace “Each Monk has a non-negative integer number of Turns, which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki and by default is 5 and has a maximum value of 10. Any attempts to set a Monks turns higher than 10 instead set it to 10. As a weekly action, a Monk may increase their Turns by 5.” with

Increase each Monk’s Turns by 3.

In “Turns”, remove “In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend 1 Turn plus 1 additional Turn for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours”.

Replace “As a Tile Action, a Monk may do one of the following:” with:-

A Monk may spend 1 Turn to take any of one of the following Tile Actions:

In the rule “The Mosaic”, after “Its Content, which consists of the character of its Material followed by the character of its Inlay (if it has one)”, add:-

. A White Stone Tile with no Inlay is known as Backing, and its Content is always an empty string.

In the rule “The Mosaic” replace

Two Tiles are Adjacent if they either share the same Column and their Row differs by only 1, or they share the same Row and their Column differs by only 1. Two Tiles are Diagonally Adjacent if their Columns and their Rows both differ by no more than 1. Two Tiles are Strictly Diagonally Adjacent if they are Diagonally Adjacent but not Adjacent

with

Two Tiles are Adjacent if they either share the same Column and their Row differs by only 1, or they share the same Row and their Column differs by only 1.

The Distance between two Tiles is the absolute value of the difference between their rows plus the absolute value of the difference between their columns

In the effect of “Grinding stone” replace

which is diagonally adjacent to it.

with

which is distance 2 from it

Rewrite the rule Materials as follows

The following is a list of materials that a Tile can be made out of. Presented in the form “{character}: {name}. {rarity}. ‘’{description}’’ ” where {character} is the letter used for the material in a Tile, {name} is the longform name of the material. {rarity} is the rarity of the material (either Common, Uncommon, or Scarce) and {description} is flavor text. A Tile may be described by its Material as in a “Glass Tile”.

*s: Stone. Common. “simple stones collected from the local river beds”
*f: Fine Sand. Uncommon. “colored sand imported from merchant ships or collected on the beach.”
*p: Paint. Uncommon. ‘‘locally crafted paint that the monks make from the surrounding area.’‘
*w: Wood. Uncommon. ‘‘stained wood from the nearby forest.’‘
*g: Glass. Uncommon. ‘‘see through or opaque, this stained glass is beautiful but requires a chain of processes to craft properly.’‘
*i: Ink. Scarce. ‘‘created from various materials, usually charcoal is the easiest to make while colors other than black are harder to create.’‘
*m: Precious Metal. Scarce. ‘‘Metals that are traded or smelted locally. Commonly the ones used in jewelry are used.’‘
*j: Jewel. Scarce. ‘‘Rare minerals that are found or traded for. Cut with specific tools by the monks, opals, jade, diamond, agate and emeralds among others are used in the mosaic.’‘

Each Material has a Stockpile which is a non-negative integer and is tracked in the “Mosaic” wiki page. By default, the stockpile of Common resources is 1000, Uncommon Resources is 5 and Scare Resources is 0.

Add the following to the list of Turn Actions

* Reduce the Stockpile of a material by one. Pick a stone tile and set its material to that material.
* Increase the stockpile of an uncommon resource by 5
* Spend up to 10 Guilders. Increase the stockpile of a scare resource by half the number of Guilders spent (rounded down)

Set the Core Rules and Special Case rules to read as per those found on this page.

If it has changed, revert the page Ruleset Appendix to this edit.

Set the colour markup of the Core Rules, Dynastic Rules and Special Case rules to match their respective colours from this page.

In the rule “The Mosaic” replace

Its Content, which can be a string of up to two characters, and by default is empty

with

* Its Material, which can be any of the Materials listed in the rule Materials and by default is stone
* Optionally, its Inlay, which can be any ascii character. By default a tile has no inlay
* Its Content, which consists of the character of its Material followed by the character of its Inlay (if it has one)

In the rule “Materials” replace

s: Sand. ‘‘colored sand imported from merchant ships or collected on the beach.’‘

with

s: Stone. “simple stones collected from the local river beds”
f: Fine Sand. “colored sand imported from merchant ships or collected on the beach.”

Replace “Change the Color of any Tile to match the Color of a pigment that is available. Spend the relevant Guilder cost to use that pigment” with:-

Improve a Tile: Spend the cost of an available Pigment and choose a Tile with a color that has a lower Pigment cost, to change the Tile’s color to the color of the first Pigment.

Change the cost of white Pigment to 1.

Publius Scribonius Scholasticus has agreed to be Great_Guy96’s mentor

To “Turns”, add a subrule called “Motifs”:-

Immediately after taking a Tile Action, a Monk may claim a single Motif to perform its Benediction, if an instance of that Motif is now present on the Mosaic and the same instance was not present immediately before the Tile Action. Motifs and their Benedictions are:-

* A Stem is horizontal or vertical line of three green Tiles. Its Benediction is: change a white Tile adjacent to any Tile in the Stem, to any available color.
* A Pennant is 2x2 square of Tiles where the top left and top right Tiles are two different colors, and the bottom left and bottom right tiles are those same two colors reversed. Its Benediction is: gain 5 Guilders.
* A Flower is a gold Tile where all Tiles adjacent to it are the same color, and that color is not Green or Gold. Its Benediction is: gain 10 Guilders.

A white Tile may never be part of a Motif.

On the “The Mosaic”, add

A column and call it “Points”

And in “Dynastic Rules”, add

a subsection called “Points System”

With the subrules in it being

Each Monk during their “Turn” will be able to gain points depending where place their tile and which conditions it satisfied. Additionally, they will be kept track on the “Points” column on “The Mosaic”

And

Any conditions on “Points System” on placement of the tile on the “The Mosaic” that are satisfied will give or take away points from that Monk on the “Points” column on “The Mosaic”

And

Everyone Monk starts will start out with 0 on “The Mosaic” under the “Point” column and will only be an integer through the Dynasty.

This nomic seems cool, and I’d like to join! I’ve heard about nomics before and I know most of how they work.

If the Creeds rule does not exist, create an empty Creeds rule.  Replace the contents of the Creeds rule with the following:

Each Monk has a list of achieved Creeds, which are tracked in the Mosaic and default to an empty list.  Each Creed has a description (which is flavortext) and an effect.  The following Creeds exist:

* Life: a Monk knows to exist - no effect
* Balance: a Monk knows that one begets the other - no effect
* Harmony: a Monk knows to coexist - no effect
* Truth: a Monk knows where to go - no effect
* Resolve: a Monk knows how to get there - no effect
* Nirvana: a Monk knows - achieve victory.

As a Weekly Action, a Monk may devote themselves to a Creed from their list and execute its effect.

Remove the paragraph starting with “Two Tiles are Adjacent” from the rule “The Mosaic”

add a subrule to “The Mosaic” called “Terminology” and give it the following text

The Taxicab Distance, or just Distance, between two Tiles is equal to the sum of absolute value of the difference between the tiles rows, and the absolute value of the difference between the tiles columns.

The Chessboard Distance between two Tiles is equal to larger of the absolute value of the difference between the tiles rows and the absolute value of the difference between the tiles columns

Two Tiles are Orthogonally Adjacent, or just Adjacent, if their Taxicab Distance is 1

Two Tiles are Diagonally Adjacent if their Chessboard Distance is 1 and their Taxicab Distance is 2

The Neighborhood of a Tile consists of that tile and all tiles which are Orthogonally or Diagonally Adjacent to it

Replace “tiles diagonally adjacent to it” with “all tiles within its neighborhood” wherever it appears in the rules

Replace “Tiles whose content contains a character on this list are made out of those materials and can be referred to by the longform name, as in a “Sand Tile” or a “Wood Glass Tile”. ” with

A Tile can be made out of zero or one material. A Tile whose content contains a character on this list is made out of that material and can be reffered to by the longform name, as in a “Sand Tile”.

Josh has agreed to be robotabc773’s mentor

Add a new Dynastic rule called Creeds, which contains the following text:

Each Monk is devoted to a Creed, which is tracked in the Mosaic and defaults to -.  Each Creed has a description (which is flavortext) and an effect.  The following Creeds exist:

* life: a Monk knows existence is preferred - no effect
* balance: a Monk knows there can’t be one without another - no effect
* peace: a Monk knows harmony - no effect
* truth: a Monk knows where to go - no effect
* resolve: a Monk knows how to get there - no effect

As a Weekly Action, a Monk may change their Creed.

Hi! I’ve been lurking and watching BlogNomic for a little while now (about two dynasties) and this one looks cool so I’m ready to join in!

If the proposal here: https://blognomic.com/archive/get_your_skates_on_mate does not pass, this proposal does nothing

If the text

Two Tiles are Diagonally Adjacent if their Columns and their Rows both differ by no more than 1. Two Tiles are Strictly Diagonally Adjacent if they are Diagonally Adjacent but not Adjacent

is found in the rule “The Mosaic” replace it with

Two Tiles are Diagonally Adjacent if their Columns and their Rows both differ by no more than 1 (a tile is Diagonally Adjacent to itself). Two Tiles are Strictly Diagonally Adjacent if they are Diagonally Adjacent but not Adjacent and not the same tile.

if not, add the above text to the end of the rule “The Mosaic”

Add the following to the list of Tile Actions

* Add a $ the Content of a Tile. Increase your Guilders by the number of $‘s found in the content of tiles diagonally adjacent to it.
* Pick a Tile. Increase your guilders by twice the number of $‘s found in the content of tiles diagonally adjacent to it. Remove all $‘s from the contents of tiles diagonally adjacent to it

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Guilders:

Each Monk has an quantity of Guilders, which is a non-negative integer tracked in the Mosaic page of the wiki and which defaults to 0.

Guilders can be used to buy tools, materials and dyes. At any time, a Monk who is not holding a tool may spend five times the turn cost of any tool in Guilders to gain that tool.

Add the following as new Tile Actions:

* Change the Color of any Tile to match the Color of a pigment that is available. Spend the relevant Guilder cost to use that pigment
* Develop a new market: make a rumoured pigment available, with a Guilder cost of 10
* Develop an existing market: reduce the Guilder cost of an available pigment by 1, to a minumum of 1

In the rule The Mosaic, change the bullet point that starts “Its Color, which can be” to read “Its Color, which can be any of the color names listed in the rule Pigments and which defaults to white. A tile may be described by its color (i.e. a tile whose color is white may be referred to as a white Tile)”

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Pigments:

A tile may only have a colour for which the pigment is available. Each Pigment has a Guilder cost in brackets after its name. Some pigments are rumoured; these may not be used for anything until they have become available.

The following pigments are available: white (10), red (5), blue (5), gold (5), green (5).

The following pigments are rumoured: purple, pink, cyan, orange, lime, black, brown, silver

Add the following to the list of Tools

Lump of Clay
: Turn Cost: 2
: The Monk using this tool may replace their tool with any other tool.

Append a new subrule to The Mosaic titled Materials with the following text

The following is a list of materials that a Tile can be made out of. Presented in the form “{character}: {name}. ‘’{description}’’ ” where {character} is the letter used for the material in a Tile, {name} is the longform name of the material and {description} is flavor text.

Tiles whose content contains a character on this list are made out of those materials and can be referred to by the longform name, as in a “Sand Tile” or a “Wood Glass Tile”.

In the rule “The Mosaic” replace

which can be any of the color names listed here: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp

with

which can be any of the color names listed here: [white, red, blue, gold, green, purple, pink, cyan, orange, lime, black, brown, silver]

Add a new rule, “Kinds of Monks”:

Each Monk is either a Scribe, an Illuminator, or an Initiate, tracked on the wiki, defaulting to Initiate. At any time, an Initiate Monk may make themselves a Scribe or an Illuminator.

In Turns, replace “As a Tile Action, a Monk may do one of the following” with “As a Tile Action, an Illuminator Monk may do one of the following”.

Add to Turns:

As a Tile Action, a Scribe Monk may do one of the following:
* Change the Content of any Tile by either adding a character, deleting a character, or changing one character.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Tools:

Each Monk can be holding up to one tool. The tools tracked by each Monk is tracked in the Mosaic page of the wiki, and defaults to -, which denotes that no tool is held.

A tool must have the following characteristics: a Turn cost and an effect. A Monk may use a tool that they are holding at any time by spending its turn cost in turns and applying its effect. The valid tools are held in this rule.

Currently known tools are:

Grinding stone.
:Turn cost: 2
:On their next Tile Action, the Monk using this tool may change the colour of a white tile to match that of a tile that is diagonally adjacent.

To the end of Turns, add a subrule called “Priming”:

A Tile with a Content of “P” is primed.

A Monk with 5 or more Turns may set their turns to zero to prime any Tile, setting the Tile’s Content to “P”.

A Monk with 5 or more Turns may set their turns to zero to set the Color of a primed Tile to a color of their choice, and set the Content of that Tile to the empty string.

I request to be unidled.

Add a new dynastic rule called The Mosaic with the following text

The Mosaic is a 20 by 20 grid of Tiles which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki

A Tile consists of the following components:
* Its Row, corresponding to which row of the grid it is on (with the topmost row being row 1, and the bottom row being row 20)
* Its Column, corresponding to which column of the grid it is on (with the leftmost column being column 1, and the rightmost column being column 20)
* Its Color, which can be any of the color names listed here: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp and by default is white. A tile may be described by its color (i.e. a tile whose color is white may be referred to as a white Tile)
* Its Content, which can be a string of up to two characters, and by default is empty

The Row and the Column of a Tile may not change. A Tile may be referred as “Tile R,C” where R is the row of the tile, and C is the column of the tile.

Two Tiles are Adjacent if they either share the same Column and their Row differs by only 1, or they share the same Row and their Column differs by only 1

Add a new dynastic rule called Turns with the following text

Each Monk has a non-negative integer number of Turns, which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki and by default is 5 and has a maximum value of 10. Any attempts to set a Monks turns higher than 10 instead set it to 10.
As a weekly action, a Monk may increase their Turns by 5.

In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend 1 Turn plus 1 additional Turn for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours

As a Tile Action, a Monk may do one of the following:
* Change the Color of a white Tile to match the Color of a tile which is adjacent to it

Set the color of Tile 1,1 to blue

Set the color of Tile 1,20 to green

Set the color of Tile 20,1 to red

Set the color of Tile 20,20 to gold

Time passes, seasons change.

A small boat arrives carrying a band of travelers to a cluster of Islands on the Great Sea. Finding the largest one, full of green foliage and friendly animal life, they row their boat ashore and setup a small camp.

Time passes, seasons change.

Using the natural rocks found in the cliff faces of the Island, and wood grown from its many trees the travelers turn their camp into a small town. Houses and shops are built. More travelers arrive as the town starts to grow.

Time passes, seasons change.

More travelers arrive. The town continues to grow. Awed by the natural beauty of the Island, the travelers construct a large monastery atop the Island’s highest cliff. A holy order of devote followers is established to maintain the monastery.

Time passes, seasons change.

Disaster strikes. A large storm hits, destroying much of the town on the lower part of the Island. Only the monastery is protected due to its firm construction and higher location. While the residents are able to find protection in the monastery, the thought of rebuilding is
daunting for many. A few stay, others join the monastery, but many set out for a new life.

Time passes, seasons change.

The monastery is the only thing remaining on the Island. The monks that run it lead a simple life free of outside influences, able to grow their own food. Using the gems found in the natural caves on the Island they are able to make exquisite works of art, which they can trade with passing merchant ships for the other resources they need.

Time passes, seasons change.

Remove all dynastic rules. Replace Gaia with Abbot. Replace Island/Islands with Monk/Monks.

Deactivate Imperial Deferentials and the Traitor.

As it is round 8, actions with time thresholds of round 8 or later may be performed.

Yellow: the Yellow dice has one face for each existing Monument. Rolling a Monument allows an Island to immediately once apply its effect, regardless of whether it is one-off or repeating. An Island may update the faces of their yellow dice to match the current list of existing momuments, in full, at any time.

Give each Island a yellow dice.

In the rule Generating New Monuments, change the fourth bullet point to read:

Roll a {X Land, X Foliage, X Animal Biomass, X * 10 Mana}, where X is half the land cost of the monument rounded up for repeating effects, or n times the land cost of the monument for one-off effects, where n is half the current round number. That is the effect of the monument

If an Island began the action to take their turn over one hour ago, and has not finished it, the action is considered to be completed and no more steps can be performed in it. The Autopilot Completion is then performed by doing the following:

* If the Roll action was not taken, select the first three dice in the Island’s list of dice. If any results require any choices, choose the first available option (if choosing a Level, the topmost level is considered first)
* If the Shift action was not taken, increment their pressure by one

* If the Contain action was not taken, perform it
* Set the Island’s Turn Tracker to -

The moment before the wave hits is eerily quiet. In the tens of thousand of years that have elapsed since these islands poked their heads above the surface of the sea, they have known only the lapping of the waves, the cawing of gulls, and the wind whistling around rock spires and through the lianas and leaves of the thickening canopy. Now they know silence, and following that silence, devastation.

After the water has once more receeded, all that is left is bare rock.

The Weather for Round 3 was Rainstorm. The weather for Rounds 4 and 5 were both Pleasant.

Bais and I had took are turns for the round already but the problem is that the weather was not rerolled to something other than pleasant. I much simpler approach to this that doesn’t mess with the Wiki Page for Great Sea that much would be changing

Add the following to the end of the rule Aesthetic Features:

Each Island has a Pono score, which is a non-negative integer tracked on the Great Sea page of the wiki which defaults to zero. An Island’s Pono is the sum of the discrete number of aesthetic features it has, plus the length of all of its rivers and waterfalls.

In the rule Dice, change the white default Dice to read:

White {Pono Mana,Double Pono Mana,Double Pono Mana,Double Pono Mana,Triple Pono Mana,Quintuple Pono Mana}

Add the following as the first item in the atomic action for taking a turn in the rule Turns:

* Update their Pono

If Proposal: Gentlemen, Start Your Engines, And May The Best Island {raises arm} Win has been enacted, in the rule Aesthetic Features, after “plus the length of all of its rivers and waterfalls” add “, plus the number of its monuments”.

Change the white dice of all Islands to its default

Add a new rule to the ruleset as a sub-rule to the rule Island Characteristics, called Natural Monuments:

At any time there are n current monument slots, where n is the number of Islands minus 1, which are tracked in the Great Sea page of the wiki. A monument slot may be occupied by a monument or empty, and defaults to empty.

A monument must have a name, which is always flavour text, a land cost and an effect. All of the monuments that have existed in the game so far are listed (with their variables) at the bottom of the Great Sea page of the wiki.

Islands may contain monuments, and every monument that is owned by an Island must be placed on a level of that Island. A monument may not be placed on a level if placing that monument would result in the monuments of that level having a higher land cost than the amount of land on that level. Monuments held by each Island are tracked by adding their name in square brackets after the land value of that level in the Land column on the Great Sea page of the wiki.

Monuments may have a one-off or repeating effect. If it has a repeating effect then its effect is applied every time the Glisten overground action is taken by an Island. If it has a one-off effect then it is applied when it is taken.

Add a new subrule to that rule, called Generating New Monuments:

Whenever a rule requires monuments to be generated, the following atomic action must be taken:

* Roll DICE5. If the result is a 1 then randomly select an existing monument and include that with no alterations. Skip the rest of this action.
* Roll DICE9. The result is the land cost for that monument.
* Randomly select whether the monument is one-off or repeating.
* Randomly select from the pool of default or orphan dice faces, omitting all “no effect"s and keeping only one copy of any duplicated effects. If that face has a number in it, roll DICE4 and multiply the number in the dice face by the result. That is the effect of the monument.
* Give it a name

In the rule Turns, add the following as the third bullet point in the atomic action for generating time:

* DELAY: Generate a monument for every monument slot

In the same rule, in the atomic action for taking a turn, add the following as a new underground action:

** DELAY: Extrude: Remove a monument from the available monument slots. Add that monument to your Island if you can.

In the same action, add the following as a new overground action:

** DELAY: Glisten: Apply the effects of any monuments on your Island with repeating effects.

Replace the sentence in the Ruleset that reads “When an island explodes, reduce its foliage to 0 and remove the top half (rounding down) of its levels” with

When an island explodes, reduce its foliage to 0 and remove the top half (rounding down) of its levels, then double the value of each of its remaining levels.

Double the value of each level in the Land of the player named Kevan.

Not sure if it’s too early. Running out of ideas of what to do.

Add the following rule:

At the end of 10 rounds (after all other effects conducted, before “round 11” would begin), one island will be declared the winner. That island has to have the highest (Land*Foliage*Animal Biomass) amount tracked in the table, where “Land” is the highest number they have under “Land”. This does not count the NPC island stats. If multiple islands are tied, Mana is the tiebreaker. If multiple islands are still tied, then the game is extended by one round (ad infinitum until one winner can be declared).

In the rule “Dice” replace

An Island of [5] is a flat plain at sea level, [5,0] is a mesa above sea level, and [0,5] is a zero-width column on a sea-level plain.

I Flood to no effect.
I Consume to no effect.
I Contain, rolling a 4 and exploding, becoming a {0,0} spire.
I roll Brown, White and Black, becoming a {2,0} mesa and gaining 10 Mana.
I roll Brown, White and Black again, it being a Pleasant day, becoming a {4,0} mesa and gaining 30 Mana.
I Shift to increase Pressure to 3.
I Vitalise, gaining 10 Mana.
I Adjust, spending 120 to remove four dice faces and 40 to increase four.
I Deposit.

In Turns, replace “Each Island has a Turn Tracker, which is tracked in the Great Sea page of the wiki and is either x or -, and which defaults to -.” with

Each Island has a Turn Tracker, which is tracked in the Great Sea page of the wiki and is either a time and date, or -, and which defaults to -.

In the list defining Progressing Time, replace “Set the Turn Tracker of all Islands to x” with:

Roll a DICE72 for each Island; this roll is called the Island’s Delay. Set the Turn Tracker of each Island to the start of the next day, plus 12 hours, plus the Island’s Delay times one hour.

Replace “Once in each Round, each Island may take a Turn, by carrying out the following atomic action:” with

If it is after 16 hours after an Island’s Turn Tracker, any Island may set that Island’s Turn Tracker to “-”.

If it is after an Island’s Turn Tracker, but less than 16 hours after its Turn Tracker, that Island may take a Turn, by carrying out the following atomic action:

Remove “Vitalise” from the list defining Taking a Turn.

For each Island with a Turn Tracker of “x”, set that Island’s Turn Tracker per the new bullet point for doing so.

everyone’s turn timer is “X”. I am not entirely sure what is going on, despite having read the rules. Are we waiting for a proposal to break the mold?

Add to the list of Adjustments:

- Spend 0 mana: Choose a level in your Topology, then gain Mana equal to its Land x 10 up to a maximum of 100, then destroy that level. You can only perform this once per Round.

Repeal the rules Delayed Rules and, if it exists, Push Rules. Remove the lines in the Generate Time action that resolve DELAY: and PUSH: tags in the rules.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Ruleset Staging:

There exists a copy of the dynastic rules, held on the wiki at the page 181DynasticRuleset. Its contents are gamestate but are flavourtext. The text held at 181DynasticRuleset may be referred to as the Future Ruleset; the version held here may be refered to as the current, main or primary ruleset. The Future Ruleset may not be altered in any way except as specified by this rule.

Whenever a proposal or rule would cause a change to the dynastic ruleset, those changes are applied to the Future Ruleset, unless explicitly otherwise stated. In all other circumstances, the term “ruleset” applies only to this document.

In the rule Turns, amend the line that starts “Whenever the Turn Tracker of all Islands is -” as follows:

Whenever the Turn Tracker of all Islands is -, Gaia must first overwrite the dynastic ruleset with the contents of the Future Ruleset, and must then Progress Time, which is an atomic action with the following steps:

Copy the Dynastic Rules to the page 181DynasticRuleset in the wiki. If there is a rule called Timing Reform then apply its changes to the Future Ruleset and repeal it.

Replace “Adjust: Take an Dice Face Action as per the rule Adjustments” (both in the ruleset and in the proposal “Action then resolution” if it is still pending) with:-

Adjust: Perform an Adjustment as per the rule Adjustments

Replace “An Island taking the Adjust action must choose from the following Dice Face Actions and carry it out. An Island may carry out as many of these Actions as they would like, provided that they can pay the Mana cost:” with:-

When performing an Adjustment, an Island may select and carry out as many of these Actions as they would like, provided that they can pay the Mana cost:

Add to the list of Adjustments:

- Spend 0 mana: Destroy a level in your Topology, then gain Mana equal to its Land, up to a maximum of 10. You can only perform this once per Round.

If the proposal “Action then resolution” enacted, the rest of this proposal has no further effect.

In the rule “Dice” and all gamestate, replace each instance of “X Mana” (where X is a number) with “Y Mana” (where Y is ten times X).

Multiply every Island’s Mana by 10.

Throughout “Ecology”, replace “it increases its mana by its” with “it increases its mana by ten times its”.

Add an Overground Action:-

* Vitalise: Gain Mana equal to the number of Islands with a Turn Tracker of “X”.

If any Islands have already taken a Turn during Round 4, give 10 Mana to the first that took a Turn during that Round, 9 to the next, and so on.

Move the rule Delayed Rules to be a subrule of Dynastic Actions. Add a new subrule to the rule Dynastic Actions, called Push Rules:

Any rule that begins with the text “PUSH:” is considered to be a Push Rule. The contents of a Push Rule are all flavour text. Additionally, if the line of a dynastic rule begins with the text “PUSH:” that line is also considered to be flavour text.

Add the following as the second and third steps in the Generate Time action in the rule Turns:

*Remove the text “PUSH:” from the title of every rule which begins with “PUSH:” and from every line of a dynastic rule where the line begins with “PUSH:”, and then immediately carry out any instructions contained within them.
*If it is Round 6, set the values of all tracked gamestate information (except Topology) for all Islands to their new-player default values, then Erode all Islands, then remove this bullet point from the ruleset

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called PUSH: Timing Reform:

In the rule “Turns”, make the paragraph that starts “Each Island has a Turn Tracker” and the bulleted list that follows it a sub-rule, called “Generating Time”. Then make the paragraph that starts “Once in each Round, each Island may take a Turn” and the bulleted lisy below it a subrule to the rule Turns, called “Initiating a Turn”.

Change the test “Each Island has a Turn Tracker, which is tracked in the Great Sea page of the wiki and is either x or -” to “Each Island has a Turn Tracker, which is tracked in the Great Sea page of the wiki and is either O, LOCKED or X”. Change the Turn Tracker of every Island to O.

Rewrite the rule Initiating a Turn as follows:

Once in each Round, each Island may Initiate their Turn, by sending Gaia the following information by private message:

*The order in which actions will be taken
*The Terrain Dice they intend to roll in that turn
*What changes they intend to make to their Pressure as a result of the Shift action
*Whether they intend to Deposit
*Whether they intend to Adjust (stating if that decision is contingent on the result of a white dice roll)

Once an Island has Initiated their Turn they must set their Turn Tracker status to LOCKED.

Add a new sub-rule to the rule Turns, called Resolving Turns:

When every Island’s Turn Tracker status is LOCKED, Gaia must carry out the following atomic action:

*Validate that they have received information (as per the rule Initiating a Turn) from every Island for that round
*Make a post announcing that the Resolution Phase can begin

When Gaia has posted that a Resolution Phase has begun for a round, each Island must carry out the following atomic action once, at their earliest opportunity:

*Carry out this entire list of Underground Actions in any order:-
**Roll: Randomly select one effect from each of the Terrain Dice they selected in their Turn Initiation message to Gaia for this round, then apply those effects
**Shift: Either increment their Pressure by 1, or set their Pressure to zero, as per the commitment made in their Turn Initiation message to Gaia for this round
**Consume: Check the difference between their Animal Biomass and Foliage scores. If the former is greater than the latter, reduce its Foliage by the difference between the two, to a minimum of zero, with any excess reduction being taken from that Island’s Animal Biomass score instead
**Contain: Roll DICE100. If the result is lower than 3 times their pressure, explode
*Selectively carry out some, all or none of this list of Overground Actions, no more than once each per turn, in any order:-
**Deposit: Add a new level with 0 land to the bottom (end) of their topology, , as per the commitment made in their Turn Initiation message to Gaia for this round
**Adjust: Perform an Adjustment as per the rule Adjustments, as per the commitment made in their Turn Initiation message to Gaia for this round
*Set their own Turn Tracker to X and make a post to the blog summarising their Turn

Islands must honour the commitments made in their Turn Initiation messages to Gaia. If Gaia notices that an Island has resolved their turn in a way that contravenes the commitment that the Island made in their Turn Initiation message then they should set the Turn Tracker for that Island to LOCKED until such a time as the turn resolution has been completed compliantly.

Repeal this rule.

If the Turn Tracker of all Islands is x then remove PUSH: from the title of the rule PUSH: Timing Reform and immediately carry out its instructions.

Repeal the rule Pool Dice. Remove “Identify the Pool Dice, and” from the Generate Time action. Change the description of the Rol action to “Select three of their Terrain Dice, randomly select one effect from each, then apply those effects”.

Change:

As an action with a Time Threshold of Round 15, an Island who is not Dying may achieve and declare victory, if every one of their Habitability scores exceeds the corresponding Habitability score of each other non-Infested Island.

To:

An island’s Ecology is calculated as follows:
*add 5 for each habitability greater than all other island’s habitability of that type
*add 3 for each habitability greater than all other island’s (except one) habitability of that type
*add 1 for each habitability greater than all other island’s (except two) habitability of that type

If it is round 15 or later and an Island has an Ecology greater than all other islands when Gaia progresses time, that island has achieved victory.

remove: “An Island with one, and no more than one Habitability that is greater than any other Island’s, with the rest of their Habitabilities below the Island average for that Habitability, is Infested. “

The weather is pleasant. There is no pool dice (probably best to repeal that rule pretty quicky, huh).

I contain, nothing happens
I consume, nothing happens
I shift, increasing my pressure by 1
I roll Brown dice and then White dice, gaining 1 foliage and 3 mana
I don’t adjust
I deposit

Add the following to the rule “Turns”

If it has been an Island’s turn for the entirety of the last seven days, any Island may set that Island’s turn timer to -

In “Round 4” after

Each Island has a Turn Tracker, which is tracked in the Great Sea page of the wiki and is either x or -, and which defaults to -.

add

If the current Round started more than seven days ago, all Islands Turn Trackers are set to -.

I contain with no effect.
I consume with no effect.
I flood with no effect.
I shift, increasing my pressure by 1
I roll green and white dice, gaining 1 foliage and 1 mana
I choose not to adjust
I choose to deposit

It is still Cuddlebeam’s turn. Let as all mock him until he expresses sorrow for his tardiness.
