As a subrule of Rule 2.2 (Inventions), add a new Rule called “Modular Plugboard”:-

Cost: 2 Iron, 2 Wood, 2 Quicksilver     Power Requirement: 2
The Power Requirement of an Invention with a Modular Plugboard is - rather than its usual value - instead equal to the total Power Requirements of its Parts, plus five times the number of different Resources involved in its Composition.

Just a note: the Trade Routes for this week are now up on the wiki. I probably won’t change them every week; to avoid bias, it’s best to decide when to change such things in advance, so I’m adopting a policy of deciding at random (with a 50:50 chance) whether to change the routes or not in any particular week.

A summary of the routes for this week (see the wiki Trade Routes page for full info, and a rundown of what resources you’ll gain from which counties):

• Iron: Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire
• Wood: Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall
• Quicksilver: Kent, Surrey, Hampshire
• Caffeine: Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, County Durham, Cumberland
• Cogs: Warwickshire, Northamptonshire
• Gems: Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex
• Coal: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire

Could an admin link the wiki page to the sidebar, incidentally?

If the rule “You can run, but you can’t hide” exists, reword it to:-

[[Image:England traditional counties.png|300px|thumb]]

Each Commoner is located in a County (tracked in the GNDT, and defaulting to Dorset), an entry from the list below. Each county is numbered and marked on the map to the right. If two counties have a border line running between them (and do not just meet at a corner), they are considered to be neighbouring.

Bedfordshire Berkshire Buckinghamshire Cambridgeshire Cheshire Cornwall Cumberland Derbyshire Devon Dorset County Durham Essex Gloucestershire Hampshire Herefordshire Hertfordshire Huntingdonshire Kent Lancashire Leicestershire

Lincolnshire Middlesex Norfolk Northamptonshire Northumberland Nottinghamshire Oxfordshire Rutland Shropshire Somerset Staffordshire Suffolk Surrey Sussex Warwickshire Westmorland Wiltshire Worcestershire Yorkshire

The first line of the above rule is wiki markup for this image. Upon enactment of this rule, if the image has been replaced or altered since its initial upload, it shall be reverted to the version that was initially uploaded to that URL.

Pteriforever65536 and Yabbaguy haven’t commented in over a week, and go idle. Dbdougla also idles as requested. Quorum drops to 9.

Edit the “Thermometer” Part to read:-

Cost: 1 Wood, 2 Quicksilver, 1 Gem     Power Requirement: 5
Monitoring the temperature of a machine can help to improve its operating efficiency. Whenever a Commoner who owns a Thermometer and has a negative Income would increase his Coal by his Income as part of a Scavenging action, he instead increases it by his Income plus ten.

dbdougla intends to idle until further notice.

Too complex a game, not enough time.
Player/quorum is 20/11.

If the Proposal titled “Proposal: All England was divided into 39 parts…” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Trade Routes:

As a weekly action, the Mad Prince can set the trade routes. In order to do so, they must roll 14 different DICE39 in the GNDT.

Each County, as listed in the rule entitled “You can run, but you can’t hide,” corresponds with a number from the diceroll results, with 1 corresponding to the first item on the list and proceeding in alphabetical order. The output of these rolls, without having their order changed, comprise the start and end points of seven trade routes, one for each resource (the first number being the start point of the Iron trade point, the second being the end; the third being the start of the Wood route, the fourth being the end; and so on in the same fashion for Quicksilver, Caffeine, Cogs, Gems, and finally Coal). The Trade Route for each resource starts from the County designated as its start point and takes the shortest route (defined as the route that passes through the smallest number of counties) to the County designated as its end point. If there are multiple routes that tie for the shortest route then the Mad Prince may pick one of his chosing. The seven trade routes have their routes, including the start point, all intermediary Counties and the end point, tracked on a wiki page entitled [[Trade Routes]] (a page which should only be updated by the Mad Prince in accordance with this rule). Note that a County may be the start point, end point, or an intermediary county for multiple trade routes, and may be both the start and end point for and entire trade route (in which case no modifier to Scavenging results is conferred).

Any Commoner occupying a County that is the start point of a Trade Route may not claim the Resource of that Trade Route when Scavenging.

Any Commoner occupying a County that is an intermediary County for a Trade Route gets a 50% bonus (rounded down) to their Scavenging results for the Resource of that Trade Route.

Any Commoner occupying a County that is the end point of a Trade Route gains double the expected amount of the Resource of that Trade Route if it is chosen while Scavenging.

These bonuses are not cumulative with the bonuses granted to Commoners with a Dirigible-type workshop. These Commoners may chose which bonus to apply to their Scavenging.

Add a new subrule to rule 2.2, entitled Steamwagon:

Cost: 10 Iron, 2 Cog, 2 Quicksilver     Power Requirement: 5
A Commoner with an invention including a Steamwagon attached to their Workshop may, as a weekly action, swap up to 15 of any one of their non-Coal Resources for an equal number of any other Resource, so long as the Trade Route of the Resource selected for swap starts, ends or passes through a County that neighbours the Commoner’s current County.

Neither Hix nor Zauper has commented in the past week; they both idle out. Quorum drops to 11.

Edit the “Thermometer” Part to read:-

Cost: 1 Wood, 2 Quicksilver, 1 Gem     Power Requirement: 5
Monitoring the temperature of a machine can help to improve its operating efficiency. Whenever a Commoner who owns a Thermometer and has an Income below 50 would increase his Coal by his Income, he may instead increase it by his Income plus ten.

If the Proposal titled “All England was divided into 39 parts…” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

To Rule “You can run, but you can’t hide” add:

Commoners, who are in neighboured Counties may be reffered as “Neighbours”. If a Commoner is the only Commoner in a County, they may be reffered as “Lonelies”. If a Commoner is a “Lonely” and has no Neighbours, they might be reffered as “Total Lonelies”.

A “Lonely” may scavange Ressources at twice and a “Total Lonely” as triple the rates detailed in Rule 2.1, but their Coal is simply increased by their Income. If they have a “Dirigible” Workshop and want to scavange using the Dirigible’s power, a “Lonely” may scavange as 6 times and a “Total Lonely” as 9 times the rates detailed in Rule 2.1.

To the first bullet list of Rule 2.1.1 titled “Trading” add:

The Commoner who made the offer and the Commoner who wants to accept the offer, are in the same County.

In Rule 2.1 titled “Commoner’s Economy” replace “Commoners can transfer their own Resources to other Commoners, at will.” with

Commoners can transfer their own Resources to other Commoners, at will, if they are in the same County.

In Rule 2.5 titled “Raiding” replace “As a weekly action, a Commoner can Raid by contacting the Mad Prince privately (via private message, IRC, or email at callforjudgement at yahoo.co.uk), stating that they are Raiding that week.” with:

As a weekly action, a Commoner, who is in the County “Dorset”, can Raid by contacting the Mad Prince privately (via private message, IRC, or email at callforjudgement at yahoo.co.uk), stating that they are Raiding that week.

Add a Subrule titled “Traveler” to Rule 2.2 titled “Inventions”:

Cost: 3 Iron, 15 Caffeine   Power Requirement: 2
A Commoner, who owns an Invention with a “Traveler” may also trade with Neighbours and are allowed to transfer Ressources to their Neighbours. If they stay in a County, which neighbours “Dorset”, they are also allowed to Raid.

If the Proposal titled “All England was divided into 39 parts…” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add another item to the list of workshops:

* Stronghold
Even the most demented of despots needs a place to call home.
Effects: A Commoner with a Stronghold may not change their County, regardless of what parts they have attached to their stronghold. However, they may charge a tax against any Commoner who occupies the same County as they do. As a weekly action, the Stronghold-owning Commoner may subtract up to 5 non-Coal Resource from each Commoner in the same County as them. If one of these Commoners does not have enough Resource to pay the tax, the Stronghold owner may “rough them up” - subtracting as much non-Coal Resource as they can and ejecting the delinquent Commoner into an adjoining County.
Requirements: The workshop must have Inventions with Armor, Hydraulics, a Governing Armature and a Thermal Borehole attached to it.

Add the following to the subrules of rule 2.2, entitled Thermal Borehole:

Cost: 10 Iron, 5 Cogs     Power Requirement: 10
A Commoner with an invention containing this part attached to their workshop may consider the Power Requirement for all inventions that they build to be 10 less, to a minimum of zero.

Create a new Dynastic rule, “You can run, but you can’t hide”:

Each Commoner is located in a County (tracked in the GNDT, and defaulting to Dorset), an entry from the list below, which also lists the Counties which neighbour which other Counties:

Bedfordshire: Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire
Berkshire: Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Wiltshire
Buckinghamshire: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire
Cambridgeshire: Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Suffolk
Cheshire: Derbyshire, Lancashire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire
Cornwall: Devon
Cumberland: County Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland, Westmorland
Derbyshire: Cheshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire
Devon: Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset
Dorset: Devon, Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire
County Durham: Cumberland, Northumberland, Yorkshire
Essex: Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Middlesex, Suffolk
Gloucestershire: Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire
Hampshire: Berkshire, Dorset, Surrey, Sussex, Wiltshire
Herefordshire: Gloucestershire, Shropshire, Worcestershire
Hertfordshire: Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Middlesex
Huntingdonshire: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire
Kent: Essex, Surrey, Sussex
Lancashire: Cheshire, Cumberland, Westmorland, Yorkshire
Leicestershire: Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Warwickshire
Lincolnshire: Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Yorkshire

Rutland: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire
Shropshire: Cheshire, Herefordshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire
Somerset: Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire
Staffordshire: Cheshire, Derbyshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire
Suffolk: Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk
Surrey: Berkshire, Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, Sussex
Sussex: Hampshire, Kent, Surrey
Warwickshire: Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire
Westmorland: Cumberland, Lancashire, Yorkshire
Wiltshire: Berkshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Somerset
Worcestershire: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire
Yorkshire: Cheshire, Derbyshire, County Durham, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Westmorland

In subrule 2.2.8 “Wings” replace

This Part has no intrinsic effect.

with

As a weekly action, a Commoner with this Part attached to their Workshop can change the County they are located in to any neighbouring County.

In subrule 2.2.11 “Mobile Telescopic Legs” replace

This Part has no intrinsic effect.

with

No more than twice in any week, a Commoner with this Part attached to their Workshop can change the County they are located in to any neighbouring County.

Create a new subrule “Flanged Wheels” to rule 2.2 “Inventions” with the following text:

Cost: 10 Iron, 10 Wood, 3 Cogs               Power Requirement: 1
A Commoner with this Part attached to their Workshop can spend 30 Coal to change the County they are located in to any neighbouring County, unless the old or new County is Northumberland.

Strange, ths URL (‘idling’) hasn’t been taken already?
(If you see this message it means that Kevan hasn’t blocked this URL to keep for his own possible future idling)
Anyway, I request to be idled. It’s been a fun few weeks of nomicin’ with everyone, thank you.

I will give you resources for the low, low price of 0 Resource per 1 Resource!*

* Plus shipping and handling, which should amount to approximately 10000 Resource.

My friends, you have witnessed the birth of a (potentially) large corporation that is cold and merciless as so many others are. Its founder has tried to blackmail me for the fruits of my labour. Now this ‘family’ aims to rob an honest and humble entrepeneur of his business enterprise. Will I submit to their industrial might? Will I buckle under their strength? Nay! I will renew my efforts, and continue to offer this fine community the services and goods it so greatly desires and deserves. Moreover, I will strive to aid my customers with more than mere cogs and gemstones in the future.

Oppressed citizens of prince ais523’s domain, I implore you! Do not surrender your soul to some mindless corporation. Do not allow vague promises of a bright and prosperous future to cloud your vision. It is not through gear and steam alone, but through the strong hearts and ingenuity of good men and women like you that utopia will be reached! Are you content to scavenge for bits and pieces of usable material for the rest of your life, or do you dare to dream of more? Together we can reach to the heavens, as equals.

I do not ask you your loyalty. I do not ask you to become a member of a ‘family’ of slaves. All I ask of you is your friendship, and I offer mine in return. Allow me to help you to shape your own future, make the impossible possible and, most importantly, build really cool machines. Isn’t that what we were meant to do, what we desire most?

Beardco has been forced to reassess its prices once again by the ruthlessness of its competitor. I am now offering the use of my state-of-the-art facilities at the price of 1 (noncoal) resource per transaction! After the third transaction of the week, I’ll let you use them for free for the rest of the week!

Beardco. Tomorrow’s technology, today.

In 2.4 titled “Workshops”, replace “The Commoner who owns an Observatory may spend 1 Coal and 1 Resource to gain 1 of any other Resource. ” with:

The Commoner who owns an Observatory may spend 1 Coal and 1 Resource (other than Coal) to gain 1 of any other Resource.

Revert any “Bad Observatory Actions”, so if a Commoner has spended 2 Coal to get another Ressource using their “Observatory and alchemarium” Workshop, revert this action.

Dear JOSHTECK family,

I think we should show everyone, that JOSHTECK, an open-mindes company and community, is better than a selfish monopolist. (Well, with our help he is not a monopolost anymore. Thanks, Sir Josh!) I encourage you, the family members, to offer better trades for us. Together we can reach each status we want to. Would be even nice, mostly for our appearance, if we would all raide this week. These few guards will not stop the family, will they?

I have invented a Cogmold recently - for the family of course. As I wanted you to profit from my new power, just give me n Iron and you will receive n - 2 Cogs. I will only win one Cog by doing so. And it‘s my part to power this invention… So this should be fair. But this offer is only for our family. :) We need to be a strong community!

Also, to be a fair Commoner, there is another trade offer for everyone else: For n Iron I will give you n - 3 Cogs. That’s even cheaper than Sir Purplebeard‘s Cog Trade Offer. (*whisper* Sir Purplebeard is the incarnation of the dark. Do not trust him though.)

Finally, do you, the family members, have any other family plans? I will be the last one, who will stop such plans! Just tell me (and the other ones, of course!)

Kind regards, Sir Keba.

PS: I know I am not a family member yet. But I am quite sure, I will be one later…

Edit the “Hydrogen Distillery” Part to read:-

Cost: 1 Wood, 2 Quicksilver, 1 Gem     Power Requirement: 5
If a Commoner owns an Invention with a Hydrogen Distillery, they may choose not to spend an Invention’s Power Requirement in Coal when Inventing it, provided they instead spend 1 Quicksilver for each Part that the created Invention will have when it is Invented.

To the end of subrule 3.2.1 “Numbers and Variables”, append the following bullet point:

• If a rule implies that the result of a division should be an integer (for instance, by attempting to store that result in, or add it to, a gamestate variable that can only hold integers), the result of the division is instead the result rounded towards 0.

As you may have noticed, a shipment of resources (400 Coal, 50 Wood, 50 Iron) is coming over the moor to the Mad Prince’s Manor, guarded by 8 huge metal automata, venting steam, breathing fire, and flying around in an ominous manner. Still, because it would be hilarious to watch you trying to fight them, I’ve set up this blog post for you to plan strategy for your attack; we need somewhere to discuss these, after all.

Neither Hellzapoppin, Flurie, NoOneImportant nor Thrawn has commented or posted in the past week. They all go idle, and quorum drops to 13.

JOSHTECK IS HERE.

For too long, you have laboured, only to turn nover your hard-earned scavengings to speculators, chancers and monopolists. No more.

Now you may take your own destiny by the hand, and with it, turn to face the bright new dawn of co-operation and industry. ALL OF YOUR TOMORROWS ARE YOURS AGAIN.

Terms of initial offering

Co-operative member
The first five Commoners to express an interest will be invited to participate in the Co-operative Membership scheme. A co-operative member gets the benefits of unlimited access to my transmutation skills at no additional cost; THAT’S RIGHT, 1 coal and 1 resource will net you 1 resource of your choice. No other retailer can best that. Of course, there are some upkeep charges, but these are limited - just 5 Coal or 1 Resource of your choice per week, to be paid to me on or before each Monday, will secure your access to this unbeatable offer.

Membership expansion
We’re always looking to kick out our non-paying delinquents grow our family, so if you miss out on this initial offering, then don’t lose heart! You never know when we might expand our membership options, so keep your eyes peeled!

Valued customer
Sadly, not everyone can be a member of our big happy industrial family. But everyone can get great prices with Joshteck! As a Customer of Joshteck, your first three transactions of the week will be charged at our standard rate - 2 Coal and 3 Resource for 1 resource in return. Thereafter, however, the Joshteck Favoured Customer Bonus kicks in, and you will be able to transmute lead to gold - or iron to cog, if you so wish -for the low, low price of 1 Coal and 2 Resource!

Joshteck. Serving you, today, tomorrow… forever.

In rule Trading, add to the list of bullet-points after “Any Commoner may agree to a “Trade Offer” if all of the following are true:”

* He did not post the trade offer himself.

If any commoner completed a trade offer he himself made prior to the passing of this proposal, revert that trade. If any actions a commoner made after such a trade would be illegal if the trade had not been completed, revert them as well.

I hate to disturb you again, good commoner, but my Cog Shop has recently expanded its selection with a variety of rare gems. Why waste your time scavenging for gems if you can buy them from me at the low low price of 5 coal and your choice of 5 iron or 5 wood? Check out your local Trading Post right away, because if you order today, I will not only give you this great product, but you will also receive it earlier than you would if you had ordered it later!

BUT WAIT! There’s more!

No wait, that was it.

To a certain other commoner who has also been working towards an Observatory and alchemarium: is there any way I can dissuade you from building one and competing with me? My profit margins are quite low already, and I doubt either of us would profit from a price war. I’m sure you can find another good use for all those resources, and I’d be happy to trade you your coal back, should you decide against this.

Add a sub-rule to rule 2.2, entitled Hyper-Pressuriser:

Cost: 3 Iron, 1 Quicksilver, 1 Caffeine     Power Requirement: 20
A Commoner who owns an invention which includes a Hyper-Pressuriser can, at any time, spend 100 Coal to gain 1 Gem.

To Rule 2.1 (Commoner’s Economy), add after the first paragraph:-

If a Commoner would ever have more than 200 Coal, their Coal is instead set to 200. If a Commoner would ever have more than 50 of any Resource other than Coal, their amount of that Resource is instead set to 50. These limits are known as “Caps”.

Add a new subrule to Rule 2.2 (Inventions) called “Coal Hopper”:-

Cost: 8 Iron     Power Requirement: 0
If a Coal Hopper is attached to a Workshop, the owner of that Workshop ignores the Coal Cap, but if that Commoner’s Coal is ever more than 350, their Coal is instead set to 350.

Add a new subrule to Rule 2.2 (Inventions) called “Storage Drawer”:-

Cost: 4 Wood     Power Requirement: 0
For each Storage Drawer attached to their Workshop, a Commoner may ignore the Resource Cap for a single Resource type of their choice (other than Coal).

Add a new subrule to rule 2.2, entitled Scavenger Unit:

Cost: 5 Cogs, 1 Gem     Power Requirement: 0
For each Scavenger Unit a Commoner owns, they may increase their income by 3. This income bonus must be removed if the Invention containing the Scavenger Unit is dismantled.

Replace “A Commoner cannot Invent if he owns 3 Inventions already” with:-

A Commoner cannot Invent if he already owns 3 Inventions which are not attached to a Workshop

Reword the second paragraph of Rule 2.4 to:-

At any time, a Commoner who has fewer than three Inventions attached to their Workshop may attach an Invention they own to their Workshop, by updating the Inventions wiki page accordingly - Inventions which are attached to Workshops (and only those Inventions) must have “(attached to Workshop)” after their name. If an Invention is attached to a Workshop, all of its Parts are considered to be attached to that Workshop.

To “Electromagnetic Coil”, add:-

An Electromagnetic Coil has no effect if it is attached to a Junkyard Workshop, or to an Observatory and Alchemarium.

To the end of Rule 2.2 (Inventions), add:-

If an Invention would have a Power Requirement lower than 0, its Power Requirement is instead 0.

Remove the bracketed text from “Flame Vent” and the final sentences of “Basic Heatsink” and (if it exists)“Really Ingenious Design”.

Make each Part listed in Rule 2.2.8 (Workshop Parts) into a separate rule, with an Effect of “This Part has no intrinsic effect.”, and repeal Rule 2.2.8.

Just a short post to note that the BlogNomic server was unavailable from around 11am until 2pm (GMT) on Sunday, which means any proposals pending during that time weren’t “open for voting” for three hours, so won’t time out until they’re 51 hours old.

Add a new subrule to Rule 2.2 (Inventions) called “Armor”:

Cost: 15 Iron, 5 Wood, 2 Gems Power Requirement: 15
A Commoner, who owns an Invention with this Part, counts as two Commoners for the purpose of Rule 2.5 (Raiding).

Enact a new subrule of Rule 2.1 “Commoner’s Economy” entitled “Free Market Trade”, which reads as follows:

As a Weekly Action a Commoner may trade with the market directly: They may decrease the amount, known as the “Offered Amount” of any Resource to any value higher or equal than zero. The difference between the previous and the current amount of this Resource is known as the “Offered Resource”. They may now increase any other Resource (of their Resources), known as the “Sought Resource”, by a “Free Market Amount”. This “Free Market Amount” is calculated as the total Amount of all Commoners of the “Sought Resource”, divided by the total current Amount of all Commoners of the “Offered Resource”, multiplied by the “Offered Amount”, rounded down. If no Commoner, including the Commoner, who likes to trade, own the “Sought Ressource” or the “Offered Ressource”,  the trade will not be possible.

  For example: If a Commoner would like to trade 100 Coal, the total Amount of the Offered Ressource may be 1000 Coal then (after the Commoner has decreased his or her Coal!) and the total Amount of the Sought Resource, Iron, is calculated as 500. This Commoner would receive 50 Iron then.

Add a new subrule to Rule 2.2 (Inventions) called “Basic Improver”:

Cost: -5 Cogs, -2 Gems   Power Requirement: 20
If an Invention, which consists of a “Basic improver”, would have a Cog or Gem Amount lower than zero, the Amount of the Ressources lower than zero would be 0 instead. If not, this Part has no other effect than reducing the Composition costs.

Add a new subrule to Rule 2.2 (Inventions) called “Governing Armature”:-

Cost: 5 Iron, 1 Quicksilver, 3 Cogs     Power Requirement: 15
If an Invention has a Governing Armature, its Power Requirement is simply equal to the total Power Requirements of its Parts.

Add a new subrule “Really Ingenious Design” to rule 2.2 (Inventions):

Cost: 5 Caffeine                Power Requirement: -15
An Invention containing this Part cannot be created if the Commoner creating it has created another Invention in the preceding 3 weeks. This has no ongoing effect beyond its negative Power Requirement, except that if an Invention with a Really Ingenious Design would have a Power Requirement lower than 0, its Power Requirement is instead 0.
