I haven’t gotten a PM per 2.2, did it get overlooked?

If rule 2.4 “Respect and Grievance” has a subrule named “Consonance”, replace in that subrule the text:

If any Musician’s Respect or Grievance changes in a way that violates one of these constraints, they cease to have a Grievance.

with:

However, if a Musician X Respects a Musician Y and has a Grievance against a Musician Z, the Musician Y is allowed to change Y’s Respect to Z, in which case X ceases to have a Grievance.

In the rule “Harmony”, if it exists, replace “If there is not currently a pending Harmony Attempt posted,” with:-

If there is not currently a pending Harmony Attempt posted, and if none of the Harmony Attempts made in the past 7 days (if any were made) were initiated while the Band Members were the same set of Musicians as they are now, then

If the rule “Harmony” exists, replace the text of that rule from and including “When the Frontman resolves a pending Harmony Attempt,” onwards with:-

When the Frontman resolves a pending Harmony Attempt:-

• If all Band Members have the same style, the Harmony is a Success: the Frontman must increase the Harmony of each of the Band Members by one.
• If there are two Band Members with different styles, the Harmony is a Failure: the Frontman must decrease the Harmony of the Band Member who made the Harmony Attempt by one, and must randomly select a Session Musician (if any exist) and make them a Hanger On.

In either case, the Frontman must make a comment on the pending Harmony Attempt as to which way he resolved it.

To the rule “In the Band”, add:-

A Musician’s Prestige is equal to the number of other Musicians who Respect them. If a Band Member has a higher Prestige than every other Band Member, then they are the Star. If a Band Member has the lowest (or equal lowest) Prestige of all Band Members, then they are a Session Musician.

Add a new subrule to the rule “Respect and Grievance”.  Call it “Consonance” and give it the following text:

A Musician cannot have a Grievance against someone they Respect.  If a Musician Respects another Musician, they cannot have a Grievance against anyone that Musician Respects.  If any Musician’s Respect or Grievance changes in a way that violates one of these constraints, they cease to have a Grievance.

I would like to be unidled. At least until I lose interest or get super busy at work again.

Add a new dynastic rule called “Harmony” and give it the following text

Each Musician has a integer stat called “Harmony” which is initially zero.

If there is not currently a pending Harmony Attempt posted, any Band Member may make a Story Post with the title “Harmony Attempt”. The Harmony Attempt is considered pending until the set of Band Members changes (either by a Musician switching from Band Member to Hanger On or vice versa or by a Band Member going idle) or until it is resolved by the Frontman. The Frontman may resolve a pending Harmony Attempt at any time. When the Frontman resolves a pending Harmony Attempt, if all Band Members have the same style, the Frontman must increase the Harmony of each of the Band Members by one. If there are two Band Members with different styles, the Frontman must decrease the Harmony of the Band Member who made the Harmony Attempt by one. In either case, the Frontman must make a comment on the pending Harmony Attempt as to which way he resolved it, then reassign each Band Member a new style via the process used for new Musicians. All Band Members then become Hangers On and four DICEN are rolled where N is the number of Musicians. For each die, if a K is rolled the Kth Musician as appears in the GNDT becomes a Band Member.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Boos”, and give it the text:

Every Musician has an amount of Boos, a nonnegative integer tracked in the GNDT that defaults to 0.

Each Musician has a list of names tracked in a GNDT column named “Targets.”

A Band Member may Boo another Musician if they have not cast a Booed in the last 72 hours. When a Musician Boos another Musician, they add that Musician’s name to their Targets, and increase the targeted Musician’s Boos by 1.

Remove all irrelevant information from the GNDT, and create a new column named “Boos”.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Awkwardness”, and give it the text:

Awkwardness is a nonnegative integer, tracked in the GNDT in the Frontman’s Boos field. Whenever a Musician joins Blognomic, or unidles for the first time in the dynasty, the Awkwardness is increased by 1.
When a Musician has a number of Boos greater than or equal to the Awkwardness, the Frontman may Write them Off and reveal their Style. Everytime a Musician is Written Off, the Awkwardness drops by 1.

A Musician who has been Written Off does not count as a Musician for the purpose of any other Dynastic Rule, except for the rule “Lollapalooza”

Set the Awkwardness to 12.

Create a new Dynastic Rule, named “Lollapalooza”, and give it the text:

Every Musician has a Coolness, a integer tracked in the GNDT that defaults to 0

When all Musicians who have not been Written Off are of the same style, that style becomes the Band’s Style. Every Musician of the Band’s Style then loses one Coolness for each name in their Targets of a Musician of the Band’s Style, and gains two Coolness for each name in their Targets of a Musician of the opposing style. The Musician with the most Coolness then wins the game.

Create a new GNDT column “Coolness”

As per rule 2.2 “A note of discord”, every Musician has been assigned a style, and the name of one other Musician of that style.
Styles have been assigned with a 50% chance for everyone to be Rock and 50% to be Techno, as required in the Appendix, rule 3.3.1 “Numbers and Variables”.
As for “along with the name of another Musician who has the same style as them.”, the Ruleset didn’t specify the way that other member had to be picked, so I did it at random as well.

To the first paragraph of the rule “Respect and Grievance”, if it exists, add:-

Musicians default to Respecting nobody and having a Grievance against nobody.

And after “or the name of an Idle Musician,” add:-

or “-” to represent no Musician

And add a new paragraph to that rule:-

A Musician may change who they Respect and/or who they have a Grievance against, at any time.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Boos”, and give it the text:

Every Musician has an amount of Boos, a nonnegative integer tracked in the GNDT that defaults to 0.

Each Musician has a list of names tracked in a GNDT column named “Targets.”

A Musician may Boo another Musician if they have not cast a vote in the last 72 hours. When a Musician Boos another Musician, they add that Musician’s name to their Targets, and increase the targeted Musician’s Boos by 1.

Remove all irrelevant information from the GNDT, and create a new column named “Boos”.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Awkwardness”, and give it the text:

Awkwardness is a nonnegative integer, tracked in the GNDT in the Frontman’s Boos field. Whenever a Musician joins Blognomic, or unidles for the first time in the dynasty, the Awkwardness is increased by 1.
When a Musician has a number of Boos greater than or equal to the Awkwardness, the Frontman may Kick them out of the Band and reveal their Style. Everytime a Musician is Kicked out of the Band, the Awkwardness drops by 1.

A Musician who has been Kicked out of the Band does not count as a Musician for the purpose of any other Dynastic Rule, except for the rule “Lollapalooza”

Set the Awkwardness to 12.

Create a new Dynastic Rule, named “Lollapalooza”, and give it the text:

When all Musicians still in the Band are of the same style, that style becomes the Band’s Style. Every Muscian of the Band’s Style then loses one Coolness for each name in their Targets of a Musician of the Band’s Style, and gains one Coolness for each name in their Targets of a Musician of the opposing style. The Musician with the most Coolness then wins the game.

Enact a new rule, “In the Band”:-

Musicians may be Band Members or Hangers On. This is tracked as a “Band” field in the GNDT, noted as “Yes” if the Musician is a Band Member and “No” or “-” if they are a Hanger On. All Musicians start as Hangers On.

Enact a new rule, “Respect and Grievance”:-

Each Musician may Respect one Musician (or Idle Musician) and have a Grievance against one Musician (or Idle Musician). These are tracked as the name of a Musician, or the name of an Idle Musician, in the “Respect” and “Grievance” fields of the GNDT respectively. A Musician may not Respect themselves, nor have a Grievance against themselves.

If all Band Members Respect the same Hanger On and no Band Members have a Grievance against that Hanger On, then that Hanger On becomes a Band Member.

If all but one of the Band Members have a Grievance against the same Band Member, and no Band Members Respect that Band Member, then that Band Member becomes a Hanger On.

Upon enactment of this proposal, four different Musicians shall be selected at random from those who commented on the proposal, using GNDT die rolls. Each of those four Musicians shall become Band Members; all other Musicians shall be Hangers On.

Looks like the ruleset still requires me to make an “idling post” and to ask myself to unidle myself, if I want to unidle myself. I would like to be unidled. Hello.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Debate”, and give it the text:

Every Musician has an amount of Votes against them, a nonnegative integer tracked in the GNDT that defaults to 0. Use of the word “vote” in any dynastic rule is a reference to this rule and not to rule 1.5 “Votable Matters”.
A Musician may cast a vote against another Musician, effectively increasing by 1 the number of Votes against that other Musician, by making a post announcing the vote and updating the relevant GNDT stat, if they have not cast a vote in the last 96 hours.

Remove all irrelevant information from the GNDT, and create a new column named “Votes”.
Create a new dynastic rule named “An unpleasant feeling”, and give it the text:

There is a number, called Awkwardness, a nonnegative integer tracked in the GNDT in the Frontman’s Votes field. At the start of the dynasty the Awkwardness is 12. Whenever a Musician joins Blognomic, or unidles for the first time in the dynasty, the Awkwardness is increased by 1.
When a Musician has a number of Votes greater than or equal to the Awkwardness, the Frontman may Kick them out of the Band and reveal their music style.
Everytime a Musician is Kicked out of the Band, the Awkwardness drops by 1.
A Musician who has been Kicked out of the Band does not count as a Musician for the purpose of any other Dynastic Rule.

Please remember, the goal is to force your style on the band, not to be the last Musician.

Create a new dynastic rule named “A note of discord”, and give it the text:

At the creation of this rule, every active Musician, and after that, each Musician that joins or unidles for the first time in this dynasty, will be randomly assigned a style, either Rock or Techno, which will be secretly recorded by the Frontman. Each Musician will then be notified of their style via private message by the Frontman, along with the name of another Musician who has the same style as them.

In a totally unrelated matter, change the name of the author of this proposal from “Ltn_Koen” to “Cpt_Koen”. He earned his promotion when he achieved victory, after all.
While you’re at it, change rule 2.1 name from “Central Office” to “Koen’s Band”.

Snow’s melt,
Trees grow green,
Flowers bloom,
Spring has come

It is more than time to rehearse for Lollapalooza 2012, which will take place at the start of August!
As your band leader and song writer, I am about to compose pieces for you to rehearse.
Just tell me if you want me to write Rock or Techno. I can do both.
Throughout the Ruleset, replace the word “Criminal” with “Musician” and “Don” with “Frontman”.
Rule 2.1 “Central Office” is to be kept; repeal all other dynastic rules.

Ascension address and first proposal will come in the afternoon (almost UTC time).
Thank you for your patience.

Clucky pointed out I couldn’t transfer Wealth to southpointingchariot since he was no longer a former partner of mine.
Damn, going to jail sucks. That mustache I had was so much better!
As Clucky said, I could’ve transfered the Wealth to him or omd and southpointingchariot would still have won; but I didn’t do that.
I believe the transfer was illegal, but the aggravating was legal anyway, and instantly had me win, though not on purpose.

So here’s your hiatus.

Hello fellow mobsters,
Hello worshiped Don,

Quite a lot have happened to me recently!
I robbed more banks than you guys could ever dreamed of;
I own the world’s biggest collection of stolen art;
I smuggled armaments under everyone’s nose, making me Public Enemy Number 1!

The police did caught me, though. I suspect I might have been snitched by those two guys…
But that’s OK, I broke out of prison! Used all firepower to blow an entire wall and steal a police car.

So here am I, the most wanted criminal - my heat almost hit 2 digits!
So I decided to show the police who was the boss.
You know that big event our Don was talking about?
It costed me no less than 40,000 Respect, 40,000 Firepower and 40,000 Wealth, but I did it! The police will not forget my name, I guarantee you.
(OK, it did cost a little less. 39,999 to be precise. But who counts?)

The police was so upset! Now they are more sharp and watchful than ever.
In fact, their Vigilance Number is up to 200 now, which is about as high as it could go.

However, before everyone bows before me, there is one last thing I need to say.
I am NOT the new Don in town.
Considering that I only got where I got with the help of about all those who didn’t care about winning;
Considering that I owed Southpointingchariot A LOT of ressources, according to our agreements when he watched out for me in the past, during those dark days where the police was chasing me from bank to bank;
Considering that Southpointingchariot is the only one who actually tried to play ais523’s dynasty, bargaining before any assisted action, making good-for-the-dynasty proposals and all that…

Well, let’s just say I think we are even now ;-)
You can check the GNDT and wait for his Declaration of Victory, for our New Don in Town is, with a Leadership of 1725…

SOUTHPOINTINGCHARIOT

Klisz and laozi were caught finking to the heat and so have been “retired”. Quorum drops to 7.

Replace the Dynastic Rules with the initial texts of the first four rules created during the First Dynasty of Joranj.
