Draft proposal.
Change rule 2.10 to read:
Each Entity may suspect one Gostak of being up to no good - this is tracked as a GNDT field.
A Gostak may change the Gostak e suspects, at any time, and may stop suspecting a Gostak at any time.
As long as a Gostak‘s stigma is more than any other Gostak‘s stigma, then The VIP suspects em of being up to no good.
As long as a Gostak‘s stigma is at least ten more than any other Gostak‘s stigma, then Elvis suspects em of being up to no good.
As long as a Gostak‘s stigma is more than all other Gostaks’ stigmas combined, then Lazy Joe suspects em of being up to no good.
As long as a Gostak‘s stigma is strictly less than all other Gostaks’ stigmas, then the Shiny Demon Lord suspects em of being up to no good.
The rest of the Shiny Demons are innately suspicious of everyone and thus do not count.
If a Gostak is suspected of being up to no good by three or more Entities, then the Suspected Gostak may not declare victory or otherwise become Ché-Háme-Háme.
My proposal slots are rather scarce at the moment, so I would like feedback on this before I propose. This will give time for any loopholes to be sorted out.
Hix:
Pretty good. I suggest:
1) Allow a suspecting Gostak to stop suspecting (i.e. change eir suspecting Gostak to null).
2) Use “If a Gostak’s stigma is more than any other Gostak’s stigma, then The VIP suspects em of being up to no good; otherwise, The VIP does not suspect any Gostak of being up to no good.” and similarly for Elvis, LJ, and the SDL.
2.5) Your apostrophes in both “Gostak’s” and “Gostaks’” seem to be backward, but maybe that’s considered correct in some regions, and I shouldn’t be picking on them.
3) Maybe italicize the comment about the regular Shiny Demons. Wouldn’t want anyone to get strange ideas about every Gostak being suspected by every Shiny Demon.
