Add the following text to the rule “Death and Reincarnation:”

If a Townsperson has been made to die within the last 24 hours, and they have not Named an Heir within the current Season, and they have not Named an Heir since the last time they were made to die, and their Standing was reduced the last time they were made to die: then, as a Daily Action, they may Name an Heir, and by doing so increase the Standing of one other Townsperson by 1.

In the subrule “Winter” of rule “Seasonal Changes”, remove the sentence

When a Townsperson dies, their Home is set to “@v”.

In the rule “Death and Reincarnation” replace

setting their Home to “@”,

with

setting their Home to “@v”,

Each Townsperson without a Workplace may have an Acumen, tracked as a number (which may be positive or negative) in the Workplace field.

Sitting out the hurricane and reaching for the bookshelves, every Townsperson loses 10 Acumen per book.

I believe I have achieved victory as I have achieved a standing of 5 or higher and that is higher then the standing of any other Townsperson.

I hereby anounce a Day of Observance. This ends the current season. The incoming weather is Hurricane.

This post is nigh until further notice.

Add to “Thing Effects”:-

If nobody has done so during the current Season, a Townsperson may call a Day of Reading by making a blog post announcing it. Upon doing so, each Book which exists in a Home causes its owner’s Acumen to be reduced by 10 (if they have an Acumen). This reduction must be performed by the Townsperson who called the Day of Reading.

Teninten hasn’t commented in ten days, and is automatically idled. Quorum drops to 5, Super Quorum to 7.

Dependent on “Rings and Things”.

Remove “If they have never done so before, the first time a Townsperson becomes Married, they may immediately gain 1 Standing.” from the rule “Autumn”, if it’s there.

Add to the start of the final paragraph of the rule “Thing Effects”:-

When a Townsperson gains a Ring through Marriage, they may gain 1 Standing. When a Townsperson loses a Ring from their Home, they lose 1 Standing and (if they have more than 1 Human in their Home) they also lose 1 Human from their Home.

Change rule “Weather Conditions” to read:

At any time, one Weather Condition (Weather in short) will be in effect.
The current Weather is tracked in the Blognomic sidebar.

Possible Weather Conditions are as follows:
1. Hurricane
2. Snow
3. Rain
4. Sun
Sun, Rain, and Snow are Typical Weather Conditions; Hurricane is a Disastrous Weather Condition.

The Incoming Weather condition is determined as follows:
-if there are no Priests, it is Hurricane;
-if there is exactly one Priest and the Season is Summer or Spring, it is Rain;
-if there is exactly one Priest and the Season is Autumn/Fall or Winter, it is Snow;
-if there are two or more Priests, it is Sun.

In the rule “Autumn / Fall”, replace “Any Townsperson may get married if they have never done so and have at least three Moneys. When they get married, they must add a Human to their Home if they don’t have a Human in their Home already. If they do already have a Human in their Home, they instead may add a Human to their Home, but they do not have to. They must track that they have gotten married by adding (M) to their Home. Any Townsperson who loses their last Human ceases to be married, if they were married, and loses any instances of (M) in their Home.” with:-

Any Townsperson with no Ring and who is not a Priest may get married if they have at least three Moneys. When they get married, they add a Human and a Ring to their Home.

Remove “Priests can not get married and married Townspersons can not become Priests.” from that rule, and add to “Thing Effects”:-

If a Townsperson has a Ring, they may not choose “Church” as their Workplace.

To the list of Things, add:-

r: Ring

In the rule “Spring”, replace “remove up to three non-Plague Things” with:-

remove up to three non-Plague, non-Ring Things

If any Townspeople are Married when this proposal enacts, give each of them 1 Ring.

Delete the sentence in the rule “Workplaces” that reads “A Townsperson is Respectable if they are a Teacher or a Priest, or if they are married.”

Add the following sentence to the rule “Autumn / Fall”:

If they have never done so before, the first time a Townsperson becomes Married, they may immediately gain 1 Standing.

Change the sentence in the rule “Marketplaces” that reads “Any Active Merchant who has the Things demanded in a valid Offer can accept it by posting a comment to that same blog entry announcing that he accepts it.” to read:

Any Townsperson who has the Things demanded in a valid Offer can accept it by posting a comment to that same blog entry announcing that they accept it.

Add to “Thing Effects”:

If a Townsperson has more Books than any other, they are the Wisest Townsperson. If the Wisest Townsperson has a Standing of 5, and they have the highest or tied highest Standing, then the Wisest Townsperson has achieved victory.
If a Townsperson has more Furniture than any other, they are the Craftiest Townsperson. Whenever the Acumen of the Craftiest Townsperson would be set to a value higher than 15, it is set to 15 instead.

In Rule “Standing”, change all instances of “five” to “six”.

I called a Day of Observance.
Spring is ending.
Ely and Kevan will be Active Merchants until the next Day of Observance.
The incoming weather is Hurricane.
Have a nice day.

In the rule “Prophecies”, replace “Once per Season, (but not if the weather is Rain and not if the Sky has not yet been examined in the current Season) each Townsperson may spend two Fate to make a Prophecy.” with:-

Once per Season, a Townsperson may remove any one non-Plague Thing from their Home to make a Prophecy.

If “Either” has passed, this Proposal does nothing.

In the Rule “Workplaces”, change the bullet point

Pasture (Shepherd): If it is Spring and if at least a quarter of the Townspersons, rounded up, are Shepherds, each Townperson with at least 2 animals gains an animal.

to

Pasture (Shepherd): The shepherd gains 1 Meat for every Animal in his Home. If it is Spring and if at least a quarter of the Townspersons, rounded up, are Shepherds, each Townperson with at least 2 animals gains an animal.

If “Or” has passed, this Proposal does nothing.

Remove every mention of “meat” from the Ruleset. Remove every meat from all Townspersons homes.

Change the sentence in the rule “Workplaces” that reads “If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, that Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule.” to read

If a Townsperson has an Acumen and no Workplace, that Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule.

In the subrule “Spring” of the rule “Seasonal Changes”, change the text “If they have not done so during the current Spring, at any time, a Townsperson may Clean, and by doing so remove up to three Things from their Home.” to

If they have not done so during the current Spring, at any time, a Townsperson may Clean, and by doing so remove up to three non-Plague Things from their Home.

In the rules, replace every mention of “Workroom” with “Hearth”.

Long have I parted the innards of this sacrificial coney. This is what they tell me. Obey these Predictions for your Birth Signs and you will gain fortune at the passing of the season.

Please idle me. (Current dynasty has grown more complex than I have time to keep up with.)

I called a Day of Observance, so Winter is ending.
The Incoming Weather is (again) Hurricane.
This post is Nigh.
The first year of the Ninth Dynasty of Josh is over.

Under rule 2.7 where it says:

...any Townsperson may change that Townsperson’s Workplace to “Home”

add the following:

Any townsperson that has had their workplace changed in this manner, may change their workplace to any other workplace if they wish only once during the season.

To the end of the paragraph beginning “To determine the Incoming Weather”, add:-

If an Incoming Weather of Snow would be determined in Spring, an Incoming Weather of Rain is determined instead.

Reword the Farm workplace effect from “If it is Autumn, and if there are three Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.” to:-

If it is Autumn, and if there are at least three Farmers, then each non-Farmer Townsperson gains one Vegetable and each Farmer gains 1 Standing.

Replace “If at least 1 Plague has been removed this way, each Healer gains 1 Money.” with:-

If at least 1 Plague has been removed this way, each Healer who did not have a Plague removed from them this Season them gains 1 Standing.

Add a new Workplace after “Trading Post”:-

• Council (Councillor): Each Councillor loses 1 Money. Then, each Councillor who lost Money in this way this Season gains 1 Standing.

Enact a new rule, “Standing”:-

Each Townsperson has a Standing, an integer number which may be positive or negative, and defaulting to zero. If a Townsperson has a Standing of five or more, and a Standing higher than every other Townsperson, that Townsperson has achieved victory.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Destiny:

Any Townsperson with more than 5 Fate has achieved Victory.

If the Proposal “Gainful Employment” has been enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

Replace the paragraph in the rule “Workplaces” that reads

Each Townsperson may have a Workplace, tracked in the GNDT. If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, that Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule. If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, and if they have had the highest Acumen for 24 hours or more, any Townsperson may change that Townsperson’s Workplace to “Home”.

with the following:

Each Townsperson may have one or more Workplaces, tracked in the GNDT. If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, that Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule. If that Townsperson has more than one Human in their Home, that Townsperson may instead select two different Workplaces. If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, and if they have had the highest Acumen for 24 hours or more, any Townsperson may change that Townsperson’s Workplace to “Home”.

If a rule checks whether a Townsperson holds a given Workplace or “is” the occupation name for a given Workplace, and at least one of the Workplaces a Townsperson holds would make that condition true, the rule in question is considered to apply to them.

In the rule entitled “Workplaces”, change “Each Townsperson may have a Workplace” to “Each Townsperson may have at least one Workplace”.

If the Astrologer feels that any Townspeople are Uncanny, each such Towsperson gains another 1 Fate.

If a Quorum of all EVCs contains the word “Reset”, set the Fate of all Townspersons to 0.

To “Readings”, add a paragraph after the third:-

A Townsperson is Uncanny if it would be impossible for them to meet all the Predictions of their current Birth Sign during the current Season and under the current Ruleset, if no further Proposals or CfJs were enacted.

The Toad and The Eel look upon us with their benevolent eyes, meaning that a time of prosperity and fertility is coming upon us.
The Crossed Swords indicate that this prosperity will affect only a few of us.

I foresee that by the end of Winter at least one, but less than a Quorum of Townspeople will have 3 humans in their home.

Long have I stared into the inky blackness of the vast unknown. This is what it tells me. Obey these Predictions for your Birth Signs and you will gain fortune at the passing of the season.

The Eel
Distaff: Gain 5 vegetables in your home during this Season
Flax: Have two Constellations from your Birth Sign not visible in the sky by the end of the Season
Spindle: Have exactly two gold in your home when the Season ends

The Bee
Distaff: Gain 2 animals in your home during the Season
Flax: Gain 2 humans in your home during the Season

I hereby announce the Day of Observance! Thus, this season, which is Autumn / Fall, hereby ends.

RaichuKFM hasn’t posted or commented in over a week, and goes idle. Quorum remains 6, Super Quorum drops to 8.

In the rule “Death and Reincarnation” change the text “any Townsperson may (and should) make them die by setting their Home to “@”.” to

any Townsperson may (and should) make them die by setting their Home to “@” and remove, if they have any, their workplace, their birthsigns and their vision. Also set their Fate to 0.

If the Proposal Marketplaces now with a barker has been enacted, change the sentence “Any Townsperson who was announced as Active Merchants in the blog entry announcing the most recent Day of Observance is considered an “Active Merchant” until the next Day of Observance.” to

Any Townsperson who was announced as Active Merchants in the blog entry announcing the most recent Day of Observance and has not died since then is considered an “Active Merchant” until the next Day of Observance.

and, in the same rule, add a bullet point to the top of the bullet point list of conditions for a valid Offer with the following text

- The Seller is an Active Merchant.

Joe Pail has made no blog posts or comments in the past seven days, and goes idle. Quorum drops to 6, Super Quorum to 9.

While processing the wannabe day of observance, I noticed that Townsperson Joe Pail had not been assigned an acumen when it was assigned to Josh and RaichuKFM (this was due to Joe Pail not being displayed in the GNDT). I reverted back to when those values were assigned and rolled for all three Feckless Townspeople.
This might significantly slow down the game.

Create a new rule called “Trading” as follows:

This rule has no effect during a Seasonal Festival.

At any time, a Townsperson may Pay another Townsperson by removing one non-Human, non-Plague, non-Workroom Thing from their Home, placing it in the Home of the other Townsperson, and immediately updating the GNDT to reflect the payment.

Unidle me. Thanks (lol sorry for the spammy coming and going)

Add a subrule to the rule entitled Readings, called Destiny:

The first Townsperson to have a Fate higher than 5 has carried out their destiny, and has achieved Victory.

Add a new bullet point to the bullet point list of workplaces in the rule “Workplaces” with the following text:

Trading Post (Merchant): Announce the names of all Merchants in the blog entry announcing this Day of Observance as Active Merchants until the next Day of Observance.

Add a new dynastic rule “Marketplaces” with the following text:

Any Townsperson who was announced as Active Merchants in the blog entry announcing the most recent Day of Observance is considered an “Active Merchant” until the next Day of Observance. Any Active Merchant may post an Offer as a comment to that blog entry. He is considered to be the Seller of that Offer. An Offer must contain a list of one or more non-Human, non-Plague things the Seller offers and a list of one or more non-Human, non-Plague things the Seller demands.

For an Offer to be valid the following conditions have all to be true:
- It has not been accepted.
- The Seller has all the Things offered in his Home.
- It must be a comment in the most recent blog entry announcing a Day of Observance.
- The Seller has not made a comment in the same blog entry announcing that he retracts that Offer.

Any Active Merchant who has the Things demanded in a valid Offer can accept it by posting a comment to that same blog entry announcing that he accepts it. He then has to immediatly remove the Things demanded in the Offer from his own Home and add them to the Home of the Seller of the Offer. He then has to immediatly remove the Things offered in the Offer from the Seller and add them to his own Home.

Too much dynasty, too little time. Both quorums are unaffected.

Reword the effect of the Hall from “Each Townsperson with a Workplace gains 1 Money.” to:-

For each Workplace held by only one Townsperson, that Townsperson gains 1 Money.

In rule Workplaces, at the end of the paragraph reading as follows: “Each Townsperson without a Workplace may have an Acumen, tracked as a number in the Workplace field. If any Townsperson has neither a Workplace nor an Acumen, they are considered Feckless. If any Townspeople are Feckless, then any Townsperson may roll a separate DICE99 for each Feckless Townsperson (in the order that they are listed in the GNDT), and then set each Feckless Townperson’s Acumen to the value rolled for them.”

Add:

Whenever the Astrologer’s Acumen would be set to any numeric value other than 100, it is set to 100 instead.

Idle me. Thanks.

If the proposal “Merchants” has passed, this proposal does nothing.

Create a new rule “Marketplaces” with the following text:

If there is no valid Marketplace Post, any Acting Merchant may post a story post with the current season and the word “Marketplace” in the title. This post is considered the valid Marketplace Post until the season in its title is no longer the current season, after which it is considered invalid. At any time, there may only be 1 valid Marketplace Post.

Any Acting Merchant may post comments in the valid Marketplace Post. If a comment contains an unambiguous offer for a trade of non-Human non-Plague things between the commenting Townsperson and another Acting Merchant, it is considered an Offer. If a comment unambiguously accepts an Offer made previously in the same valid Marketplace Post, then the trade offered in the Offer can be enacted by the Acting Merchant accepting the Offer by changing the GNDT to reflect the trade. Such a trade can only exchange non-Human non-Plague things between exactly two different Acting Merchants, the one who made the Offer and the one who accepted it. No Townsperson can gain anything by a trade that the other Townsperson involved does not loose by the trade.

In the rule “Workplaces”, add as a new paragraph after the second:

If the Workplace or the Acumen is denoted with a star next ot it, the Townsperson is considered an Acting Merchant. Whenever an Acumen is replaced with a Workplace or vice versa, a star that was denoted next to it is to be kept, except a rule requires the star to be removed.

In the rule “Workplaces”, change “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.” to

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson, including the stars denoting Acting Merchants and he adds a star to the Acument of every Townsperson whose Workplace has been the Trading Post at this Day of Observance.

In the rule “Workplaces”, at the end of the bullet point list, add as a new bullet point:

Trading Post (Aspiring Merchant): Nothing happens.

In the rule entitled “Workplaces” replace “If every Townsperson has a Workplace, then any Townsperson may call a Day of Observance” with “If a quorum of Townspersons has a Workplace, then any Townsperson may call a Day of Observance”.

If Proposal: Merchants passed, replace “If a Super Quorum of Townspersons have Workplaces” with “If a quorum of Townspersons has a Workplace”.

Create a new Workplace, Shop, X,Y (Merchant), (where X is a non-Human, non-Plague thing called that Merchant’s “wares” and Y is a non-Human, non-Plague thing called that Merchant’s “goal”) and add it to the list of Workplaces in the Ruleset with the following text:-

If there is a Merchant, then each Merchant with Workplace “Shop, X” and two of X in their Home (where X is that merchant’s wares) removes 2 of X from their Home and and adds that Merchant’s goal to their Home.

In the Rule Workplaces, replace the text “If every Townsperson has a Workplace” with:-

If a Super Quorum of Townspersons have Workplaces

Reword the sentence in the rule “Autumn/Fall” that begins “If a Townsperson’s Vision is one of the Constellations visible in the Sky” to read:

If a Townsperson’s Vision is one of the Constellations visible in the Sky, and they have not Quested yet in the current Season, that Townsperson may Quest, and by doing so add any one Thing to their Home.

In rule Prophecies remove the string “—Fulfillment” and put the paragraph that follows it into a new sub-rule to rule Prophecies, titled “Fulfillment”.

In the rule “Horoscopes”, replace “Each Townsperson has a Birth Sign, which is tracked in the GNDT.” with:-

Each Townsperson has a Birth Sign, which is tracked in the GNDT as a space-separated list of the final words of those Constellations, in order.

Remove “When (and only when) required to change Weather Conditions, a Townsperson shall make a Story Post with [W] in its title, unambiguously announcing the new Weather Conditions. Such a post is called a weather post.” from the ruleset.

Rename “Workroom” to “Hearth”, and change its symbol to “H”.

Replace “Transportation (Laborer): Each Laborer with a Workroom in their Home loses their Workroom. Each Laborer without a Workroom in their Home gains a Workroom.” with:-

Quarry (Builder): Each Builder with a Hearth in their Home loses all of their Hearths, and each Builder without a Hearth in their Home gains a Hearth.

Update any Townsperson whose Workplace is Transportation to be Quarry, and replace Workrooms with Hearths in every Townsperson’s Home.

Add a Workplace to the end of the Workplace list:

Home (Homemaker): No effect. “Home” is not considered to be a Workplace by the effect of the Hall.

Repeal the rule “Workrooms”, and add a subrule to “Homes” called “Thing Effects”:-

Hearths are a fire risk. If a Townsperson has a Hearth, any Townsperson may remove an excess Thing from that Townsperson’s Home.

Replace “If the Weather Conditions are Snow, then if a Townsperson doesn’t have an Indoor Workplace, they are treated as if they have no Workplace.” with:-

If the Weather Conditions are Snow, a Townsperson with no Hearth may not change their Workplace to anything other than “Home”.

If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, and if that Townsperson has no Hearth, and if the Weather Conditions are Snow, then any Townsperson may change that Townsperson’s Workplace to “Home”.

In rule Pace, remove the bullet point reading:
“It has been open for at least 24 hours, a Super Quorum has voted upon it, all of the votes are FOR, and it is not contingent on the passage of another pending proposal;”

Change rule “Winter” to read:

This rule has no effect unless the current Season is Winter.

If the Weather Condition in effect is Typical, and they have not yet made a Sacrifice in the current Season, and they have at least two Things in their Home, a Townsperson may make a Sacrifice by removing one Animal from their Home. They may then change their Acumen, if they have one, to one less than the lowest Acumen of all Townspeople, or to 0 if that value would be illegal.

If the Weather Condition in effect is Disastrous, and they have not yet made a Sacrifice in the current Season, a Townsperson may make a Sacrifice by removing one Human from their Home and gaining one Plague. They may then change their Acumen, if they have one, to one less than the lowest Acumen of all Townspeople, or to 0 if that value would be illegal.”

Then, if proposal The Big One failed, repeal rule Winter.

Idle me please.

Dependent on The Big One.

In rule Workplaces add immediately before “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.”:

Then the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance shall change the current Weather Condition.

Repeal the Rule called “Forecasting”.

Change Rule “Weather Conditions” to read as follows:

At any time, one Weather Condition (Weather in short) will be in effect.
The current Weather is determined in the most recent weather post (or it is Sun if no such post exists), and should be kept track of in the Blognomic sidebar.

Possible Weather Conditions are as follows:

  1.Hurricane
  2.Snow
  3.Rain
  4.Sun

Sun, Rain, and Snow are Typical Weather Conditions; Hurricane is a Disastrous Weather Condition.
Whenever the Weather Condition is changed, it takes the value which on the above list corresponds to the current number of Priests, or Sun if there are more than 4 Priests, or Hurricane if there are no Priests.
When (and only when) required to change Weather Conditions, a Townsperson shall make a Story Post with [W] in its title, unambiguously announcing the new Weather Conditions. Such a post is called a weather post.

Dependant on The Big One.

In the rule workplaces, change

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance should post a blog entry announcing it, and mentioning the end of the current Season. Such posts are Nigh by default. If a blog post of this type is Nigh, any admin may update the Season in the sidebar (changing it to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac, or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter) and mention this in a comment on that blog post; upon doing so, the post ceases to be Nigh.

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance should post a blog entry announcing it, and mentioning the end of the current Season and the beginning of the new Season. The Season changes to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac, or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter. Such posts are Nigh by default. If a blog post of this type is Nigh, any admin may update the Season in the sidebar to the current Season. Upon doing so, the post ceases to be Nigh. He shall mention this in a comment on that blog post.

Dresdom idles after a week without posting or commenting. Quorum drops to 8, Super Quorum to 12.

For ease of reading, this proposal is broken down in several Parts. This fact shall be ignored when enacting this proposal.

Part 0: Let’s Get It Out of the Way
Move the text

Any Townsperson that has a Workplace may throw out their trash by removing X non-Human, non-Plague Things from their Home (Where X is a positive integer). If they do so, they must then roll DICE20 Y times and give themselves a number of Plagues equal to the number of 1s they rolled, where Y is 2X if the Townsperson is a Farmer, Y is 0 if the Townsperson is a Clerk, and Y is X if the Townsperson is neither a Farmer nor a Clerk.

from Rule Workplaces to a new Dynastic Rule called “Trash”.

Part 1: Back in the DHSS and Back Again (implementing Acumen)
In the rule “Workplaces”, add a new paragraph after the first:

Each Townsperson without a Workplace may have an Acumen, tracked as a number in the Workplace field. If any Townsperson has neither a Workplace nor an Acumen, they are considered Feckless. If any Townspeople are Feckless, then any Townsperson may roll a separate DICE99 for each Feckless Townsperson (in the order that they are listed in the GNDT), and then set each Feckless Townperson’s Acumen to the value rolled for them.

Replace “At any time, a Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule.” with:-

If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, that Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule. If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, and if they have had the highest Acumen for 24 hours or more, any Townsperson may change that Townsperson’s Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule.

Then replace “If no Townsperson has done so during the current Season, and if at least a Quorum of Townspeople have Workplaces, then any Townsperson may call a Day of Observance.” with:

If every Townsperson has a Workplace, then any Townsperson may call a Day of Observance.

Remove the Bailiff role, and add to that rule, immediately after the bulleted list:

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.

Part 2: Seasonal Adjustment and Forever Autumn (Seasons change with Days of Observance)
Remove the sentences “At 11.59pm UTC on each Sunday, the Season progresses, changing to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in the list above (or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter).” and “If this item is inaccurate, any Admin may update it to correctly reflect the current Season.” from the rule “The Almanac”.

In the rule “Workplaces”, Immediately after “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.”, add:

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance should post a blog entry announcing it, and mentioning the end of the current Season. Such posts are Nigh by default. If a blog post of this type is Nigh, any admin may update the Season in the sidebar (changing it to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac, or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter) and mention this in a comment on that blog post; upon doing so, the post ceases to be Nigh.

Upon enactment of this rule, the current Season shall become the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac (or shall become Spring if the current Season is Winter).

Part 3: Seasonal Affective Order (We enact proposals during Festivals)
Add a new bullet point to the list in the rule entitled “Vocabulary”:

The 48 hour period following each Day of Observance is referred to as the Seasonal Festival period.

In the rule entitled “Pace”, change the words “on a Saturday or Sunday” to “during a Seasonal Festival”.

Add the following to the end of the rule entitled “Horoscopes”:

The relative order of Constellations in Birth Signs is significant. A Constellation may occupy one of thee Sign Positions, as follows: the first Constellation in any Townsperson’s Birth Sign is their Distaff Sign, the middle Constellation is their Flax Sign and the final Constellation is their Spindle Sign.

Part 4: Colder Readings (Fate and Readings for the Astrologer)
Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Readings:

All Townspersons have a statistic called Fate, which is tracked in the GNDT and which defaults to zero.

Once during each Seasonal Festival period, the Astrologer should make a Readings post, which should take the format of a story post. The Readings post should set out a Prediction for each Constellation in each Sign Position. The Astrologer’s method of making these Readings should not be random, but should also not be made public.

Predictions may require the change, addition or removal of any gamestate value, or may make no requirement at all.

Before making each Reading, the Astrologer should evaluate their previous Reading, and adjust the Fate of each Townsperson accordingly. For each Townsperson, they should assess whether the requirements set out in the Predictions for the Constellation / Sign Position pairings in their Birth Signs have been met. For each Prediction that has been met, a Townsperson gains 1 Fate. For each Prediction that has not been met, a Townsperson loses 1 Fate. If a Townsperson has not met any of their Predictions, they neither gain nor lose Fate.

The demise of Proposal: Well, That Shortened the Queue has, I think, exposed the current Pace setup as being non-functional. I think the options are:

• Scrap it and go back to normal
• Keep the durations as they are but remove all out-of-order enactment or failure provisions, and chalk this up as a permanent indictment of the speedy veto
• Keep the current arrangements, but find a better way to make dependency links more flexible around early resolution / reproposals

Anything else? Before putting up a proposal it would be good to get a sense as to how people feel about it.

Dependent on Bad Omen

In the rule named “Death and Reincarnation”, change:

If a Townsperson is in a perilous condition, any Townsperson may (and should) make them die by setting all their variables to the default values, and their Home to “@”.

to the following:

If a Townsperson is in a perilous condition and their Home is neither empty nor only containing a single Human, any Townsperson may (and should) make them die by setting their Home to “@”.

Dependent on Well, “That Shortened the Queue”.

In rule Workplaces:
- add immediately before “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.”:

Then the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance shall change the current Weather Condition.

- move the text

Any Townsperson that has a Workplace may throw out their trash by removing X non-Human, non-Plague Things from their Home (Where X is a positive integer). If they do so, they must then roll DICE20 Y times and give themselves a number of Plagues equal to the number of 1s they rolled, where Y is 2X if the Townsperson is a Farmer, Y is 0 if the Townsperson is a Clerk, and Y is X if the Townsperson is neither a Farmer nor a Clerk.

To a new Rule called “Trash”

Repeal the Rule called “Forecasting”.

Change Rule “Weather Conditions” to read as follows:

At any time, one Weather Condition (Weather in short) will be in effect.
The current Weather is determined in the most recent weather post (or it is Sun if no such post exists), and should be kept track of in the Blognomic sidebar.

Possible Weather Conditions are as follows:

1.Hurricane
2.Snow
3.Rain
4.Sun

Sun, Rain, and Snow are Typical Weather Conditions; Hurricane is a Disastrous Weather Condition.
Whenever the Weather Condition is changed, it takes the value which on the above list corresponds to the current number of Priests, or Sun if there are more than 4 Priests, or Hurricane if there are no Priests.
When (and only when) required to change Weather Conditions, a Townsperson makes a Story Post with [W] in its title, unambiguously announcing the new Weather Conditions. Such a post is called a weather post.

Dependent on “Well, That Shortened the Queue”.

If the text “Within 48 hours of such a blog post, any admin may (if no admin has already done so for this blog post) update the Season in the sidebar, changing it to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac (or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter), and mentioning this in a comment on that blog post.” exists in the ruleset, replace it with:

Such posts are Nigh by default. If a blog post of this type is Nigh, any admin may update the Season in the sidebar (changing it to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac, or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter) and mention this in a comment on that blog post; upon doing so, the post ceases to be Nigh.

Add a new paragraph in the Rule Homes with the following text:-

Once per season, if there is a Clerk, each Townsperson may remove two non-Plague Things of their choice that are the same (for example, two Humans or two Animals) from their Home to add a Thing of their choice to their Home.

Apply all ruleset changes proposed by the failed proposal “Back Again in the DHSS”.

Apply all ruleset changes proposed by the failed proposal “Seasonal Adjustment”.

Apply all ruleset changes proposed by the failed proposal “Seasonal Affective Order”, unless the Astrologer has included the words “but don’t enact Seasonal Affective Order” in a comment on this proposal.

Apply all ruleset changes proposed by the failed proposal “Colder Readings”, unless the Astrologer has included the words “but don’t enact Colder Readings” in a comment on this proposal.

Then move the sentence “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.” so that it appears immediately after the bulleted list of Workplaces in the rule “Workplaces”.

Then move the paragraph beginning “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance should post a blog entry” so that it appears immediately after “Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.”

In the rule “Pace”, replace “It has been open for at least 24 hours, a Super Quorum has voted upon it, and all of the votes are Against” with:-

The number of Townspersons who are not voting AGAINST it is less than Quorum

Under rule 1.6, I declare that a call for judgement is needed on rule 2.4 entitled “Pace”. The spirit of the pace rule (Rule 2.4) is to add some sort of pacing to the game, having observed the last dyansty (thirteenth of Kevan) I watched as the proposals get voted on in a mere amount of hours and enacted the next day. Under the current ruleset, that process takes a full week to happen and is setting a somewhat slow pace to this dynasty. The changes that are proposed are very conservative.

Should this CfJ pass the following should happen:

Add a new rule under “Pace” named “Proposal Limits” with the following text

No more than 30 proposals shall be active at any time.
Should a proposal exceed this limit, it must be failed by an admin mentioning this rule.

Change the following rule from:

During this dynasty, a Townsperson may submit a Proposal unless the Townsperson already has 4 Proposals pending, or has already made 5 Proposals that day.

to:

During this dynasty, a Townsperson may submit a Proposal unless the Townsperson already has 3 Proposals pending, or has already made 4 Proposals that day.

Add a new rule called “Proposal priorites” contains

If there are more than 25 proposals. The oldest proposal is considered to have priority which shall be noted in the side bar as BOLD red text.
Proposals that have priority ignore rule 2.4 and can be acted upon by any provision set in rule 1.5.2

If neither the Proposal “Bartering” nor the Proposal “Bartering Style 2” passed, add a new paragraph in the Rule Homes with the following text:-

Once per season, if there is a Clerk, each Townsperson may remove three non-Plague Things of their choice that are the same (for example, three Humans or three Animals) from their Home to add a Thing of their choice to their Home.

If the Proposal “Bartering” passed, this Proposal has no effect.

Add a new paragraph in the Rule Homes with the following text:-

Once per season, if there is a Clerk, each Townsperson may remove two non-Plague Things of their choice that are the same (for example, two Humans or two Animals) from their Home to add a Thing of their choice to their Home.

Add a bullet point to the bulletted list in the rule “Vocabulary” with the text

If an action would be taken “When the Season progresses” or “If the Season would change,” the action should be taken within 24 hours of the Season progressing.

Enact a new Rule, “Holy War”, with the following text:-

If there are at least three Priests, a Super Quorum of Townspeople have Workplaces, and a Quorum of Townspeople have two money, and if a certain Respectable Townsperson has more Furnitures and more Moneys than every other Townsperson, then that Respectable Townsperson has achieved Victory.

In the subrule Autumn/Fall, reword “Any Townsperson may get married if they have never done so and have at least three Moneys.” to the following:-

Any Townsperson may get married if they have never done so and they have at least three Moneys, and if there is at least one Priest.

Add a new paragraph in the Rule Homes with the following text:-

Once per season, if there is a Clerk, each Townsperson may remove two non-Plague Things of their choice from their Home to add a Thing of their choice to their Home.

In rule Contingent Proposals, change:

If a Proposal (the “Dependent Proposal”) starts with the text “Dependent on X”, where X is the name of a proposal or a list of proposals (the “Higher” proposal or proposals)

to:

If a Proposal (the “Dependent Proposal”) starts with the text “Dependent on X”, where X is the name of an older proposal or a list of older proposals (the “Higher” proposal or proposals)

Create a new Dynastic Rule, called “Death and Reincarnation”:

If a Townsperson is in a perilous condition, any Townsperson may (and should) make them die by setting all their variables to the default values, and their Home to “@”.
No Townsperson may make the Astrologer die, except the Astrologer himself.
Perilous conditions are:
- having two or more plagues in one’s Home;
- having one plague in one’s Home when the Season is Winter;
- not having any food (i.e: vegetable, meat or animals) in one’s Home when the Season is Winter;
- having no humans in one’s Home;
- being a farmer or a shepherd while the Weather is Disastrous and there are no Firemen.

Dependent on:
- The Weekly Prophet
- Colder Readings

In rule Prophecies, change “Once per Season, (but not on Sundays, not if the weather is Rain, and not if the Sky has not yet been examined in the current Season) each Townsperson may make a Prophecy.” to read:

Once per Season, (but not if the weather is Rain, not if their Fate isn’t positive and not if the Sky has not yet been examined in the current Season) each Townsperson may spend one Fate to make a Prophecy.

In its sub-rule Fulfillment, add to the end of the first paragraph:

They shall then increase all Townspeople’s Fate values by one.

Set the Astrologer’s Fate to 3.

Dependent on Proposal: Seasonal Affective Order

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Readings:

All Townspersons have a statistic called Fate, which is tracked in the GNDT and which defaults to zero.

Once during each Seasonal Festival period, the Astrologer should make a Readings post, which should take the format of a story post. The Readings post should set out a Prediction for each Constellation in each Sign Position. The Astrologer’s method of making these Readings should not be random, but should also not be made public.

Predictions may require the change, addition or removal of any gamestate value, or may make no requirement at all.

Before making each Reading, the Astrologer should evaluate their previous Reading, and adjust the Fate of each Townsperson accordingly. For each Townsperson, they should assess whether the requirements set out in the Predictions for the Constellation / Sign Position pairings in their Birth Signs have been met. For each Prediction that has been met, a Townsperson gains 1 Fate. For each Prediction that has not been met, a Townsperson loses 1 Fate. If a Townsperson has not met any of their Predictions, they neither gain nor lose Fate.

Dependent on Proposal: Seasonal Adjustment

Add a new bullet point to the list in the rule entitled “Vocabulary”:

• The 48 hour period following each Day of Observance is referred to as the Seasonal Festival period.

In the rule entitled “Pace”, change the words “on a Saturday or Sunday” to “during a Seasonal Festival”.

Add the following to the end of the rule entitled “Horoscopes”:

The relative order of Constellations in Birth Signs is significant. A Constellation may occupy one of thee Sign Positions, as follows: the first Constellation in any Townsperson’s Birth Sign is their Distaff Sign, the middle Constellation is their Flax Sign and the final Constellation is their Spindle Sign.

If Proposal: Seasonal Adjustment is enacted, this proposal does nothing.

Add a new bullet point to the list in the rule entitled “Vocabulary”:

• In each week, the period from 12.00am on Saturday Morning to 11.59pm on Sunday Night can be referred to as the Seasonal Festival period.

Add the following to the end of the rule entitled “Horoscopes”:

The relative order of Constellations in Birth Signs is significant. A Constellation may occupy one of three Sign Positions, as follows: the first Constellation in any Townsperson’s Birth Sign is their Distaff Sign, the middle Constellation is their Flax Sign and the final Constellation is their Spindle Sign.

Remove the sentences “At 11.59pm UTC on each Sunday, the Season progresses, changing to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in the list above (or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter).” and “If this item is inaccurate, any Admin may update it to correctly reflect the current Season.” from the rule “The Almanac”.

To the end of the rule “Workplaces”, add:-

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance should post a blog entry announcing it, and mentioning the end of the current Season. Within 48 hours of such a blog post, any admin may (if no admin has already done so for this blog post) update the Season in the sidebar, changing it to the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac (or returning to Spring if the current Season is Winter), and mentioning this in a comment on that blog post.

Upon enactment of this rule, the current Season shall become the Season listed immediately below the current Season in The Almanac (or shall become Spring if the current Season is Winter).

In the rule “Workplaces” and in between the bullet points “Court” and “Hall”, add the following bullet point:

Healer’s Hut (Healer): Roll XDICE2, where X is the number of Healers. If the result is greater then or equal to the number of Plagues in the homes of all Townpersons, then remove from each home that has 1 or more Plagues and 1 or more Money 1 Plague and 1 Money. If at least 1 Plague has been removed this way, each Healer gains 1 Money.

In the same rule, right before “(The bracketed word after the name of each Workplace is the name given to any Townsperson who has that Workplace.)”, add

If there is no healer, then, for each active Townsperson, with X being 5 plus the number of Plagues of all Townpersons, roll DICEX. If the result is greater then 4, add a Plague to that Townpersons home.

I’m suffering from a severe case of apathy.

Add an item to the Blognomic sidebar entitled “The Sky” and an item to the Blognomic sidebar entitled “Forecast”.

In the rule “The Almanac”, replace “The current Season is listed under the item “Current Season” in the sidebar template of the Blognomic blog. If this item is inaccurate, any Admin may update it to correctly reflect the current Season” with:

The current Season, Visible Constellations and Weather Forecast are listed under the items “Current Season”, “The Sky” and “Forecast” in the sidebar template of the Blognomic blog, respectively. If these items are inaccurate, any Admin may update it to correctly reflect the current Season, Visible Constellations and Weather Forecast.

In the subrule Autumn/Fall, add a new paragraph with the following text:-

Any Townsperson may get married if they have never done so and have at least three Moneys. When they get married, they must add a Human to their Home if they don’t have a Human in their Home already. If they do already have a Human in their Home, they instead may add a Human to their Home, but they do not have to. They must track that they have gotten married by adding (M) to their Home. Any Townsperson who loses their last Human ceases to be married, if they were married, and loses any instances of (M) in their Home.

Priests can not get married and married Townspersons can not become Priests.

At the end of the Rule “Workplaces”, in a new paragraph, add:-

A Townsperson is Respectable if they are a Teacher or a Priest, or if they are married.

In the subrule Autumn/Fall, add a new paragraph with the following text:-

Any Townsperson may get married. If they do so and have at least three Moneys, they may add a Human to their Home.

Dependent on Let it Go.

Change the word “Astronomer” to the word “Prophet” throughout the ruleset.

Remove from the rule “Winter” the paragraph beginning “A Favored Proposal may be enacted…”

For each instance of the “They may then comment to this effect on a pending Proposal that they created, which has been open for more than 24 hours. This Proposal becomes Favored.” in the rule Winter, replace it with the text

If no Townsperson has made a Sacrifice in the last 24 hours, that Townsperson becomes the Prophet.

Create a new subrule within the rule “Winter”, “The Prophet”, with the text

At any time, one Townsperson may be the Prophet. The Prophet is tracked by placing a * in the Workplace category of the GNDT (along with any Workplace the Townsperson may have). If a Townsperson becomes the Prophet while a second Townsperson is already the Prophet, the second Townsperson ceases to be the Prophet.

If the Season would change from Winter to Spring, all Townspeople cease to be the Prophet.

Reword the second paragraph in the rule “The Sky” to read

If no Townsperson other than the Prophet has done so during the current Season, the Astrologer or Prophet may examine the Sky by randomly selecting a Constellation from those not currently visible in the Sky, adding it to the above list in the rightmost position, and then removing the leftmost Constellation from that list. The Prophet may only examine the Sky once per Season. (If the Prophet examines the Sky and another Townsperson becomes the Prophet during the same Season, the new Prophet may examine the Sky.)

Add a new subrule to the rule “Seasonal Changes,” called “Spring,” with the following text:

This rule has no effect unless the current Season is Spring.

If they have not done so during the current Spring, at any time, a Townsperson may Clean, and by doing so remove up to three Things from their Home.

The following Workplace is considered to be listed after the last Workplace in the rule “Workplaces.” A Townsperson may only choose it for their Workplace if all the Constellations of their Birthsign are visible in the Sky.

• Hedge Hut (Wise One): Each Townsperson with exactly one Human in their Home gains 1 Human.

As there are nine Townspeople with Workplaces.

Apply all ruleset changes proposed by the failed proposal “Back in the DHSS”.

Then, replace the text “If any Townspeople are Feckless, then any Townsperson may give every Feckless Townsperson an Acumen equal to a random number between 1 and 99.” in the ruleset with:-

If any Townspeople are Feckless, then any Townsperson may roll a separate DICE99 for each Feckless Townsperson (in the order that they are listed in the GNDT), and then set each Feckless Townperson’s Acumen to the value rolled for them.

Add to the end of subrule “Contingent Proposals”

If a proposal starts with the text “Opposing X”, where X is the name of a proposal or a list of proposals, if any of those proposals pass, the Opposing proposal is considered to be Self-Killed. If the Opposing proposal passes, all proposals Opposed to it are considered to be Self-Killed

In the Rule “Seasonal Changes” create a new Subrule entitled “Spring” with the following text:-

This Subrule has no effect unless the current Season is Spring

If every Townsperson has a Vegetable, an Animal, and a Furniture, and the Weather Condition is not Disastrous, and there are at least two Smiths, and no Townsperson has done so yet this Season, any Townsperson may Declare War.

If a Townsperson could Declare War and there are at least three Priests, they may instead Declare a Holy War if no Townsperson has done so yet this Season.

In a new paragraph in the Rule “Horoscopes” add the following:-

Birthsigns’ Constellations are connected to Weather Conditions if they are next to the same number in the Ruleset (The Eel is connected to Sun, The Bee is connected to Rain, etc.) Each Townsperson is Energized(X) where X is the number of Constellations in the Townsperson’s Birthsign that are connected to the Weather Condition that is in effect.

In the rule “Workplaces”, at the beginning of the list of Workplaces, enter the following as a new first bullet point:

Pasture (Shepherd): If it is Spring and if at least a quarter of the Townspersons, rounded up, are Shepherds, each Townperson with at least 2 animals gains an animal.

In the same rule, right before “(The bracketed word after the name of each Workplace is the name given to any Townsperson who has that Workplace.)”, add

If there is no Shepherd when the Day of Observance is called, each Townsperson with at least 1 animal looses 1 animal.

Add a new subrule called “Winter” to the rule “Seasonal Changes,” with the following text:

This rule has no effect unless the current Season is Winter.

If the Weather Condition in effect is Typical, and it is not Saturday or Sunday, and they have not yet made a Sacrifice in the current Season, and they have at least two Things in their Home, a Townsperson may make a Sacrifice by removing one Animal from their Home. They may then comment to this effect on a pending Proposal that they created, which has been open for more than 24 hours. This Proposal becomes Favored.

If the Weather Condition in effect is Disastrous, and it is not Saturday or Sunday, and they have not yet made a Sacrifice in the current Season, a Townsperson may make a Sacrifice by removing one Human from their Home and gaining one Plague. They may then comment to this effect on a pending Proposal that they created, which has been open for more than 24 hours. This Proposal becomes Favored.

A Favored Proposal may be enacted if it has a number of FOR Votes that exceed or equal Quorum, has been open for voting for at least 24 hours, and has not been Vetoed or Self-Killed. This supersedes the provisions set out in the rule “Pace.”

I would formally like to became a player on this blog.

Dependent on The Weekly Prophet.
Create a new subrule of rule Prophecies, named “The Science of The Future” reading as follows:

The explanations contained in Fulfilled Prophecies are considered Sound.
If at the time of posting all the explanations in a new Prophecy are Sound, and if the event it foresees logically follows the explanations given, then that Prophecy can be posted as a Scientific Prophecy, tagging it as such.
Townspeople should do all they can to make Scientific Prophecies become fulfilled. Townspeople who don’t follow this rule should be Ashamed of Themselves.
Should the event foreseen in a Scientific Prophecy not take place before the first change of Season after the time of its posting, and if the Prophecy is less than 30 days old and is not Paradoxical or Fulfilled, then any Townsperson may and should Comment on it that “The Prophecy is Paradoxical”, thus making it a Paradoxical Prophecy. They shall then add a Plague and a Money to the Home of the Townsperson who made that Prophecy, because Paradoxes are cool but make people’s heads hurt.

Reword “Contingent Proposals” from “If a proposal starts with the text “Dependent on X”, where X is the name of a proposal or a list of proposals, if any of those proposals fails, the Dependent proposal is considered to be Self-Killed.” to:-

If a Proposal (the “Dependent Proposal”) starts with the text “Dependent on X”, where X is the name of a proposal or a list of proposals (the “Higher” proposal or proposals), then:

• The Dependent Proposal cannot be enacted if any of its Higher Proposals have not been enacted.
• If any of its Higher proposals have failed, the Dependent proposal is considered to be Self-Killed.

If a Quorum of the subset of Townspersons that vote For this Proposal have the word “multiplication” in the comment that has their EVC, then in the Rule “Vocabulary”, create a new bullet point in the list in that rule and have it contain the following text:-

Any consecutive string of variables (such as XY or XYZ) is considered to be the product of those variables.

If a Quorum of the subset of Townspersons that vote For this Proposal have the word “concatenation” in the comment that has their EVC, then in the Rule “Vocabulary”, create a new bullet point in the list in that rule and have it contain the following text:-

Any consecutive string of single-digit variables (such as XY or XYZ) is considered to be the number that would have those variables as digits in the order that those variables appear.

After the list in the Rule “Workplaces”, add the following:-

Any Townsperson that has a Workplace may throw out their trash by removing X non-Human, non-Plague Things from their Home (Where X is a positive integer). If they do so, they must then roll DICE20 Y times and give themselves a number of Plagues equal to the number of 1s they rolled, where Y is 2X if the Townsperson is a Farmer, Y is 0 if the Townsperson is a Clerk, and Y is X if the Townsperson is neither a Farmer nor a Clerk.

Add a new bullet point to the list in the rule entitled “Vocabulary”:

• In each week, the period from 12.00am on Saturday Morning to 11.59pm on Sunday Night can be referred to as the Seasonal Festival period.

Add the following to the end of the rule entitled “Horoscopes”:

The relative order of Constellations in Birth Signs is significant. A Constellation may occupy one of thee Sign Positions, as follows: the first Constellation in any Townsperson’s Birth Sign is their Distaff Sign, the middle Constellation is their Flax Sign and the final Constellation is their Spindle Sign.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Readings:

Once during each Seasonal Festival period, the Astrologer should make a Readings post, which should take the format of a story post. The Readings post should set out a Prediction, derived from the lists contained within this rule, for a Townsperson of having each Constellation in each Sign Position. The Astrologer’s method of making these Readings should not be random, but should also not be made public.

Predictions are made up of Conditions and Impacts. When a Townsperson meets the Condition of a Prediction, or if the Condition for the Prediction is global and has been met, then that Townsperson should implement the Impact upon themselves. Some Predictions will have no Conditions. In those cases, any Townsperson may apply the Impact of that Prediction upon any affected Townspersons.

Predictions are valid only in the Season immediately subsequent to the Reading post in which they were made, and cannot have any impact following the end of that Season.

Possible Conditions are as follows. Where a Condition (or Impact, in the following list) contains a value that is listed as X, then that value may be any legal value as set out in the appropriate section of the Ruleset, as determined by the Astrologer’s method of generating Readings.

• If the Season is X
• If the Townsperson [has / has not] a Horoscope that contains Constellation X in X Sign Position
• If the Weather Condition [is / is not] X
• If the Townsperson [has / has not] X as a Thing in their House
• If the Townsperson’s Workplace [is / is not] X
• If Constellation X [is / is not] currently visible in the sky

Possible Impacts are as follows. Some Impacts can only apply to Constellations appearing in Birth Signs in certain Sign :Positions; in these cases, the Sign Positions to which that Impact can apply follow the text of the Impact in bold and in brackets.

• Has no effect.
• Should gain X as a Thing for their House
• Should lose X as a Thing from their House, if they have it
• May change their workplace to X
• May not have the effect of their Workplace applied in the next Day of Observance
• Shall face a Trial Flax

Apologies again for my unexpected absence. I’m now in the contrary position - I have WAY too much internet-enabled leisure time in front of me - so this is just a heads up that I’ll be reassuming my duties from now.

As such, I’m removing rule 2.5 from the ruleset. My sincere thanks to the Astronomer for having kept an eye on things in my absence.

If every Townsperson has a Vegetable, an Animal, and a Furniture, and the Season is Spring, and the Weather Condition is not Disastrous, and there are at least two Smiths, and no Townsperson has done so yet this Season, any Townsperson may Declare War.

If a Townsperson could Declare a War and there are at least three Priests, they may instead Declare a Holy War if no Townsperson has done so yet this Season.

In the rule “Workplaces”, add a new paragraph after the first:

Each Townsperson without a Workplace may have an Acumen, tracked as a number in the Workplace field. If any Townsperson has neither a Workplace nor an Acumen, they are considered Feckless. If any Townspeople are Feckless, then any Townsperson may give every Feckless Townsperson an Acumen equal to a random number between 1 and 99.

Replace “At any time, a Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule.” with:-

If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, that Townsperson may change their Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule. If a Townsperson has an Acumen and it is the highest (or tied highest) Acumen of all Townspeople with no Workplace, and if they have had the highest Acumen for 24 hours or more, any Townsperson may change that Townsperson’s Workplace to any Workplace listed in this rule.

Then replace “If no Townsperson has done so during the current Season, and if at least a Quorum of Townspeople have Workplaces, then any Townsperson may call a Day of Observance.” with:-

If every Townsperson has a Workplace, then any Townsperson may call a Day of Observance.

Remove the Bailiff role, and add to that rule:

Then, the Townsperson who called the Day of Observance removes the Workplace and Acumen of every Townsperson.

Add to the beginning of the rule “Homes” the text

For the purposes of this rule, the Astrologer is considered to be a Townsperson.

Add to the end of the rule “Homes” the text

The first two of each type of Thing in a Townsperson’s Home are natural Things; the other Things in a Townsperson’s Home are excess Things.

Add to the bulleted list in the rule “Homes”

• W: Workroom.

Add to the beginning of the bulleted list in the rule “Workplaces”

• Transportation (Laborer): Each Laborer with a Workroom in their Home loses their Workroom. Each Laborer without a Workroom in their Home gains a Workroom.

Enact a new rule, “Workrooms”:

Townspeople may not have more than one Workroom; if a Townsperson ever would have more than one Workroom, the other Workrooms are moved to the Astrologer’s Home. If a Townsperson has a Workplace and a Workroom, the Workplace is considered an Indoor Workplace.

Indoor Workplaces take up a lot of space. If a Townsperson has an Indoor Workplace, any player may move excess Things to the Astrologer’s Home.

Enact a new rule, “Weather Consequences”:

If the Weather Conditions are Snow, then if a Townsperson doesn’t have an Indoor Workplace, they are treated as if they have no Workplace.

In the rule “Workplaces”, at the beginning of the list of Workplaces, enter the following as a new first bullet point:

Pasture (Shepherd): If there are no Shepherds, each Townperson with at least 1 animal loose 1 animal. If it is Spring and if at least a quarter of the Townspersons, rounded up, are Shepherds, each Townperson with at least 2 animals gain an animal.

Create a new Dynastic rule, titled “Prophecies”, reading as follows:

“Once per Season, (but not on Sundays, not if the weather is Rain, and not if the Sky has not yet been examined in the current Season) each Townsperson may make a Prophecy.
A Prophecy is a Story post in which an event is foreseen to happen, based on the state of the Sky at time of posting.
Its title must start with the tag “[Prophecy]”.
It must include a detailed explanation as to how the current conditions of the Sky can be interpreted in that way.

(for example, a legal Prophecy could read:
“Behold the Greater Triangle shining brightly on the Left, this is a clear sign that a Townsperson with that Constellation in their birthsign is destined to do something.
And see, there! the Eel next to the Toad, an omen of failure!
I foresee that, before the end of Summer, a Townsperson with the Greater Triangle in their birthsign will have one of their Proposals Failed.”)

Prophecies may not mention Townpeople’s names nor Calls for Judgment.

—Fulfillment
Should the event foreseen in a Prophecy actually take place before the first change of Season after the time of its posting, and if the Prophecy is less than 10 days old, any Townsperson may Comment on it that “The Prophecy is Fulfilled”, thus making it a Fulfilled Prophecy.
It is recommended that a list of Fulfilled Prophecies is kept somewhere in the wiki.

In a new paragraph in the Rule “Horoscopes” add the following:-

Birthsigns’ Constellations are connected to Weather Conditions if they are next to the same number in the Ruleset (The Eel is connected to Sun, The Bee is connected to Rain, etc.) Each Townsperson is Energized(X) where X is the number of Constellations in the Townsperson’s Birthsign that are connected to the Weather Condition that is in effect.

After the list in the Rule “Workplaces”, add the following:-

Any Townsperson that has a Workplace may throw out their trash by removing X non-Human, non-Plague Things from their Home (Where X is a positive integer). If they do so, they must then roll YDICE20 and give themselves a number of Plagues equal to the number of 1s they rolled, where Y is 2X if the Townsperson is a Farmer, Y is 0 if the Townsperson is a Clerk, and Y is X if the Townsperson is neither a Farmer nor a Clerk.

In the Rule Workplaces, change “If it is Autumn, and if there are three Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.” to the following:-

If it is Autumn, and if there are exactly three or four Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.

In the Rule “Vocabulary”, create a new bullet point in the list in that rule. Have it contain the following text:-

Any consecutive string of variables (such as XY or XYZ) is considered to be the product of those variables.

In a new paragraph in the Rule “Horoscopes” add the following:-

Birthsigns’ elements are connected to Weather Conditions if they are next to the same number in the Ruleset (The Eel is connected to Sun, The Bee is connected to Rain, etc.) Each Townsperson is Energized(X) where X is the number of elements in the Townsperson’s Birthsign that are connected to the Weather Condition that is in effect.

After the list in the Rule “Workplaces”, add the following:-

Any Townsperson that has a Workplace may throw out their trash by removing X non-Human, non-Plague Things from their Home (Where X is a positive integer). If they do so, they must then roll YDICE20 and give themselves a number of Plagues equal to the number of 1s they rolled, where Y is 2X if the Townsperson is a Farmer, Y is 0 if the Townsperson is a Clerk, and Y is X if the Townsperson is neither a Farmer nor a Clerk.

In the Rule Workplaces, change “If it is Autumn, and if there are three Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.” to the following:-

If it is Autumn, and if there are exactly three or four Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.

In the Rule “Vocabulary”, create a new bullet point in the list in that rule. Have it contain the following text:-

Any consecutive string of variables (such as XY or XYZ) is considered to be the product of those variables.

In the Rule Workplaces, change “If it is Autumn, and if there are three Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.” to the following:-

If it is Autumn, and if there are three or four Farmers, then each Townsperson gains one Vegetable.

After the list in the Rule “Workplaces”, add the following:-

Any Townsperson may throw out their trash by removing X non-Human, non-Plague Things from their Home (Where X is a positive integer). If they do so, they must then roll YXDICE20 and give themselves a number of Plagues equal to the number of 1s they rolled, where Y is 2 if the Townsperson is a Farmer and Y is 0 if the Townsperson is a Clerk.

Since I’ve been following this dynasty anyway, I might as well drop in.

Please unidle me.
Thanks.

In the rule “The Sky” change:

If no Townsperson has done so during the current Season

to

If the Astrologer has not done so during this season

Add the following to the end of the rule:

A townsperson may request to have the constellations read by making a post requesting it.

Dependant on Pick A Different Number, Nobody Liked That Number

In the subrule “Autumn/Fall” add to the end of the paragraph ending “and by doing so add any one Thing to their Home.”

A Townsperson may not Quest if they do not have a Birth Sign.

In the rule “Horoscopes”, replace “Each Townsperson has a Birth Sign, which is tracked in the GNDT.” with:-

Each Townsperson has a Birth Sign, which is tracked in the GNDT as a space-separated list of the final words of those Signs, in order.
