I never finished playing Katamari because I only had access to the demo version. Is there anyone who has played through game who can describe how it changed? From the first few levels it looked like the ball just got bigger, i.e. rolling in a kitchen and moving on to rolling in a town. Did the objects on the ball do anything other than add mass? For this dynasty I can think of adding ways in which they do, but I don’t want it to become too complex just to push the Katamari.

After 8 days of no thunderstorms, Thunder has idled.

Many apologies. Work picked up right after I signed up for this, and I don’t think I’ll be able to give it the time it deserves.

Create a new rule called “Exchanges” and add the following text, replacing A with the first paragraph of the rule “Theft”, B with the second paragraph of the rule “Theft”, C with the text in the rule “Returning Nouns”, and D with the text in the rule “Removing Nouns”.

Exchanges manipulate the noun content of the Katamari and/or the inventory. Actions that count as exchanges include:

• Steal: A
• Return: C
• Remove: D
• Pick up: By spending 1 Stamina, a Prince can Take a Word, adding to their inventory a noun or adjective which exists at the Katamari’s current Location.
• Drop: A Prince can remove any item from their inventory.
• Pickpocket: B

By spending 1 Stamina, a Prince can Take a Word, adding to their inventory a noun or adjective which exists at the Katamari’s current Location. At-will, a Prince can remove an item from their inventory.

In “The Katamari”, replace “The Katamari is tracked on the wikipage” with:-

The Contents and Irrollability of the Katamari is tracked on the wikipage

Add a new paragraph after the first:-

The Location of the Katamari is tracked by the most recent Push Post. If no Push Posts appear on the BlogNomic blog’s front page, then the Katamari’s Location is instead considered to be https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Main_Page.

In “Pushing”, replace “By paying Stamina equal to the Katamari’s irrollability, a Prince can Push the Katamari, applying an effect which the Katamari can be Pushed to do.” with:-

By paying Stamina equal to the Katamari’s irrollability and posting a blog entry summarising this action’s effects, a Prince can Push the Katamari, applying an effect which the Katamari can be Pushed to do. (A valid blog entry of this type is known as a Push Post.)

Remove “(so it’s initially “1”)” and “, and starts at “[[1]]”” (including the link within that text) from the Katamari rule. Delete the “Size” variable from the top of the wiki page “The Katamari”.

Axemabaro, Sesquipedalian and VJRada all idle out automatically, after over a week’s inactivity apiece. Quorum drops to 7.

To the bulleted list in “Pushing”, add (after “Word Glue”):-

25 - Ruleset Collision - When Pushing the Katamari, the Prince doing so may remove 5 entries from the Katamari’s Contents. If they do, they may remove a single dynastic rule from the ruleset if its text contains one of the removed entries (unless doing so would cause a term used by another dynastic rule to become undefined).

Add to “Pushing”

30 - If the Katamari has one of the nouns Engine, Car, Tank, Truck or Train in its contents, a Prince may freely remove one of the nouns Fuel, Gas, Gasoline or Oil from the Katamari’s Contents or their inventory to push the Katamari instead of spending Stamina to push it.
50 - When pushed, the Katamari gets a random noun generated from [http://www.desiquintans.com/articles/noungenerator.php this site] added to it.

In “Pushing”, replace “a Prince can add the text of a Blognomic proposal” with “a Prince can add the title of a BlogNomic proposal” and “you could add a proposal which has the word” with “you could add the title of a proposal if that proposal has the word”.

Add a new rule called “Picking up the Katamari” with the following text:

By spending 7 stamina, a prince who is not contained can pick up the Katamari. While the Katamari Is being held, no one can roll it or take or add content to it. The holder can move the Katamari to a new URL.

The Katamari’s holder can put down the Katamari. Doing so increases the irrollability by one but expends no stamina.

Attempting to hold the Katamari for longer than 2 hours overexerts the holder and they collapse from exhaustion. This sets their stamina to 0.

Once the Katamari is set down, all the previously available actions may be taken again.

In “Inventory” change “Each item is one noun” to

Each item is one noun, adjective or sentence

Change “By spending 1 Stamina, a Prince can Take a Noun, adding to their inventory a noun which exists at the Katamari’s current Location.” to

By spending 1 Stamina, a Prince can Take a Word, adding to their inventory a noun or adjective which exists at the Katamari’s current Location.

In “Containment”, change:

this reduces the irrollability of the Katamari by 1.

To:

this increases the irrollability of the Katamari by 1.

In “Removing Nouns”, change:

this reduces the irrollability of the Katamari by 1.

To:

this increases the irrollability of the Katamari by 1.

In the rule “Special Case”, replace “ending in ” [X]” where X can be A, denoting an active rule, or U, denoting an unactive rule” with:-

ending in ”[X]” where X is the word Active or Inactive, denoting that Rule’s status

Replace the word “unactive” with “inactive” throughout the ruleset. All Unactive rules become Inactive.

Replace “all other active DoVs are failed” with “all other pending DoVs are failed”.

Replace “must first identify an active Prince” with “must first identify a Prince”.
