Alignment Actions 2

Add a new Rule to the Ruleset, entitled Alignment Actions, with the following text:

Each Prisoner has a Junk field in the GNDT.
Each Prisoner has a RI (Rebellion Index) field in the GNDT.

Non-Warden Prisoners are called Inmates.

The Junk field defaults to 0. It must be a natural number.
The RI field defaults to 1. It must be either 0 or a positive decimal number.

A Withdrawn may, as a weekly action, Withdraw. This stands for setting their own RI to 0.9. Doing so he foregoes every further daily actions in the current week.

A Rebel or Rebellious may, as a daily action, Cause Trouble. This stands for increasing the RI of themselves and any other Prisoner by 0.2.

A Colonizer or Comfortable may, as a daily action, Colonize. This stands for increasing the Junk of themselves and any other Prisoner by 1.

A Converted may, as a daily action, Help Guards. This stands for decreasing the RI of themselves and any other Prisoner by 0.3.

 

The flavor is that the Withdrawn just wants to stay alone. The Rebel wants to cause trouble. The Colonizer wants to find comfort in Prison, and may prefer it to the outside, to the point of upsetting fellow Prisoners and the guards. The Converted sides with the Institution.
Junk is stuff that one manages to keep and considers as his own. The purpose is that the Colonizer makes “home” in the Prison. You could think of it as Comfort points (but they wouldn’t be tradable, so I preferred Junk). I don’t foresee selling it, because it’s random items, prisoners like them because they shouldn’t have them but they get them to be tolerated (like, handkerchiefs, a spoon, an empty bottle…).
I foresee using a lot of Junk for esaping the prison, like, you dig your way with a spoon.

Oh well this is not a valid proposal because there is not the tag

You’re in good company, everyone does this from time to time. For future reference, you’re allowed to fix a post’s category if you notice it within fifteen minutes and nobody’s commented on it yet:

“If no Prisoner has commented on it, or if the only comments on it begin with “Note:” and contain no voting icons, an official post may be altered or removed by its author; otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the Ruleset. However, despite this, official posts can never be changed from one category to another, or changed to be a different sort of official post, if they have been posted for more than fifteen minutes.”
