We’ll charitably call this “Self-Killed”. Josh

Replace the first paragraph of 2.1 Filmographies with
Each actor has a Filmography, which is stored in a wiki page called “Filmographies”. This is a list of the films that each Actor has starred in, and for each film:
* The year of that film
* The role that they played in the film
* The amount of Fame earned from the roleWhen adding a role to eir Filmography, an Actor shall calculate the fame e has earned for that role as specified in 2.4.1 “Role Values”.
Replace 2.4 Fame with
Every Actor has a Fame statistic, tracked in the GNDT. Fame is an integer from 0-100. Actors start with a Fame of 0. An Actor’s Fame is the sum of the Fame earned from each of the roles in eir Filmography. At any time, an Actor may update the GNDT to reflect the current Fame value for any Actor. A role’s Fame value is determined solely at the time the role is added to an Actor’s Filmography, and cannot be changed except as explicitly stated by other rules.
2.4.1 Role Values
* If the role is as an Extra, it is worth 1 Fame.
* If the role is as a Minor Character, it is worth 3DICE6 Fame.
* If the role is as a Named Character, and the Actor is not currently the subject of any Gossip stories, it is worth 3DICE6 Fame.
* If the role is as a Named Character, and the Actor is currently the subject of exactly one Gossip story, it is worth 5DICE6 Fame.
* If the role is as a Named Character, and the Actor is currently the subject of more than one Gossip story, it is worth 2DICE6 Fame.
Calculate Fame values (per 2.4.1) for all roles currently in the Filmographies.
Update all Actor’s Fame values on the GNDT.

I admit that the weighting may not be optimal. I tried to come up with reasonable values to avoid the “filling in blanks” problem. In my mind, the primary thing that this brings to the table is the framework, which I designed such that it is easy for future proposals to modify the values.
I suggest that you vote for this proposal if you like the framework it presents, and then make a proposal to change the values if you don’t think they’re right.
We’re still a ways away from anyone getting a Named Role, and there’s still time to fix the values, but if this is the direction we want to go in, we should get the superstructure in place so that we can move on to discussing the values.

Thats way too much fame

there is no such thing as negative publicity. The more Gossip stories circulating about the role, the more fame that should be generated.
