If the Proposal titled “Leading Roles (might) Make you Famous v2” fails this proposal has no effect.
Replace 2.3 Gossip with:
Each Actor may be the subject of up to two “Gossip Storiesâ€, summarised as adjective-phrases in the “Gossip†field of the GNDT, and separated by an “and†if there are two of them. Whenever an Actor becomes the subject of a new Gossip Story, it is added to the end of the list; if this would result in three Gossip Stories for a single Actor, the first is forgotten, and deleted. The Actor is considered to be under the effect of the First story listed in eir Gossip Column.
Available Gossip Stories, and their effects are:-
* Glory Hound: An Actor under this story cannot be in the same Location as an Actor with more Fame than em. If ey are, then ey must change locations immediatly, if able, otherwise ey must change locations at the soonest possible time. If an Actor under this story cannot be in a location where ey have the highest Fame, the Fame ey gain at an After Party is halved. An Actor under this story posting a Press Conference will always have an After Party, whether or not a gossip story is created.* Drunk: An Actor under this story must wait an extra day before adding a Film to eir Filmography. An Actor under this story cannot be the subject of Jealousy.
* Alcoholic: An Actor under this story does not count as a Guest at an After Party. If an Actor under this story is a Host to an After Party, ey and all Guests gain double Fame.
* Philandering: Whenever an Actor under this story is a Host or a Guest at an After Party, all Fame at that party is halved (rounded down).
* Sex-addicted: When an Actor under this story is a Guest at an After Party ey do not count as a Guest for the purposes of determining Fame. An Actor under this story gains only 1 point of Fame at an After Party, regardless of the Fame of the Host.
* Right-wing: An Actor under this story adding a Film to eir Filmography ey must check to see if another Actor is under this story. If so, the Film added must be a Film which another Actor under this Story has been in, and the Role must be the same as the Role as that Actor. During an After Party hosted by an Actor under this story, every Guest at this party under this story counts twice for the purposes of determining Fame.
* Left-wing: An Actor under this story adding a Film to eir Filmography ey must check to see if another Actor is under this story. If so, the Film added must be a Film which another Actor under this Story has been in, and the Role must be the same as the Role as that Actor. During an After Party hosted by an Actor under this story, every Guest at this party under this story counts twice for the purposes of determining Fame.
* Kleptomaniac: An Actor under this story that is a Guest at an After Party gains 1 extra Fame, and the Host of that Party gains 1 less fame (this can reduce/increase the fame beyond its maximum/minimum,). An Actor under this story cannot take a Named Role.
* Paternity-suited: An Actor under this story does not count as a Guest at an After Party. When an Actor under this story is a Host of an After Party, only ey gain Fame from that After Party, and no Guests gain Fame.
* Cult-worshipping: This story has no effect by itself, but it amplifies other stories.
* Divorced: An Actor under this story must change their Location to be the one with least number of other Actors. If the Location with the least number of Actors changes, the Actor must change locations. In the event of a tie, the Actor under this story can choose between Locations. An Actor under this story gains may occasionally move another Actor to a different location.
* Eccentric: An Actor under this story must roll ROLE DICE3 when adding a Film to eir Filmography. On a roll of a 1 ey must add an Extra Role, On a 2 ey must add a Minor Role, and on a 3 ey must add a Major Role. When an Actor under this story post a Press Conference ey never have an After Party, and instead gain 3 points of Fame.
I’m sure there are several problems with the proposal as is, because it is late, but I’m more interested to know if people like the idea, and what changes they’d like to see made. So, let me know what would need to be changed if you want this be passed, or if you have alternative effects. I tried to have each gossip story give you a benefit and a penalty.
ChronosPhaenon:
Why not both?
Right and left wing have exactly the same text. Was that your intention?
What does that mean?
What are Minor and Major roles? If thei are “Nth Minor” and “Named”, this breaks the balance of the filmography rule. (A “if otherwise able to” clause would be nice).
Least: This is not a reason to vote against, of course, but the singular subjective Spivak pronoun is “e” not “ey”.
