Add to rule “Calvinball” subrule “Scoring” with this text:

All Children have a numerical “Score” which defaults to zero and is tracked in the GNDT.

If a Child or their Best Friend possesses the Ball, the Child may attempt to score by making a story post with the title “I throw between X and Y.” where X and Y are any two members of the opposing team, and rolls DICE5 to determine the outcome: on 1 the Ball is intercepted by X. On 2, 3, or 4 the Child ‘s score is increased by one and the Ball is dropped. On 5 the Ball is intercepted by Y.

Add the follow text to the end of the subrule “Fickleness of Youth”:

Any Child who is not Best Friends with any Imaginary Friend may become so by making a story post with the title “I befriend X”, where X is the name of an existing Imaginary Friend that does not have a Best Friend, and updating the GNDT.

Enact a new rule “Tricks”:-

Each Imaginary Friend may have a Trick. Any Child may perform the Trick of an Imaginary Friend by increasing their own Trouble by 1, then applying the effects of the Trick.

Add a new paragraph to “Impulsive Puppy”:-

Impulsive Puppy’s Trick is to gain possession of the Calvinball if nobody possesses it.

In “Best Friends”, replace “If an Imaginary Friend is Best Friends with a Child, only that Child may cast votes on behalf of it.” with:-

If an Imaginary Friend is Best Friends with a Child, only that Child may cast votes on behalf of it or perform its Trick.

He keeps getting me into trouble!

To the rule “Imaginary Friends” add a subrule “Grumpy Cat” :-

Grumpy Cat votes AGAINST all proposals. But he votes FOR proposals that introduce victory condition.

Grumpy Cat does not like games with no objectives. If he likes anything at all

Create a subrule to “Calvinball” with the title “Passing” and the text:-

If a Child possesses the Ball, or is Best Friends with an Imaginary Friend who possesses the Ball, then they may Throw the Ball by updating the GNDT with a note of: “I throw to X” where X is the name of a Child or Imaginary Friend who is not currently in possession of the Ball, and updating the GNDT by removing the Ball from their possession and putting it in the possession of X.

Randomly select a child and put the ball in their possession.

If the proposal “There Can Be Only One” failed, this proposal does nothing.

For every Child that has more than one Best Friend, remove all their Best Friends except the leftmost one in the GNDT column “Best Friend” and increase their Trouble by one.

Tantusar becomes idle. Quorum for proposals is 7.

In the rule Imaginary Friends, append the following to the end of the first paragraph:

Each Imaginary Friend is tracked in a separate row on the GNDT.

In the rule Calvinball, replace:

Possession is tracked in the GNDT field “Ball”: if possessed by a Child, that Child’s GNDT field reads “Me”; if possessed by an Imaginary Friend, the GNDT field of that Friend’s Best Friend contains the name of that Imaginary Friend.

with:

Possession is tracked in the GNDT field “Ball”: if possessed by any Child or Imaginary Friend, their GNDT field reads “Me”.

Enact a subrule “Teams” to the rule “Calvinball” with the following text:

Each Child and each Imaginary Friend is on a Team, tracked on the GNDT under “Team”. Any Child or Imaginary Friend is a Teammate of another Child or Imaginary Friend if they are on the same team. If a Child joins the game or a Imaginary Friend is created, they are assigned to the team with the fewest members, or, in case of a tie, to a random team among those tied for the fewest members.

Of all the Children and Imaginary Friends randomly select half of them, rounded up, and set their “Team” to “Red”. For the rest, set their “Team” to “Blue”.

In the rule “Best Friends”, change this text:

Each Imaginary Friend may be Best Friends with a single Child; this is tracked in the Child’s GNDT row under “Friend”.

to this:

Each Imaginary Friend may be Best Friends with a single Child; this is tracked in the Child’s GNDT row under “Best Friend”. A Child may not gain a Best Friend unless they currently have none.

And add a subrule to “Best Friends” called “Fickleness of Youth” with the following text:

Any Child may exchange their current Best Friend for an Imaginary Friend who lacks a Best Friend, as long as that Child has only one Best Friend. In doing so, the Child gains 1 Trouble. This action is taken by creating Story Post with the title “I exchange X for Y.” where X is their current Best Friend and Y is the Best Friend they intend to acquire.

Any Child may decide to abandon a Best Friend, thereby removing it from the Child’s Best Friend list, by making a Story Post with the title “I abandon X.” X being one of their current Best Friends.

If there is no Rule titled “Calvinball” this proposal does nothing.

Remove the last line of the Rule titled “Calvinball” and add the text:-

If the Calvinball is possessed by an Imaginary Friend who has no Best Friend, then the Ball is automatically Dropped.

If the Ball is Dropped then it becomes in the Possession of nobody.

Create a subrule to “Calvinball” with the title “Passing” and the text:-

If a Child possesses the Ball, or is Best Friends with an Imaginary Friend who possesses the Ball, then they may Throw the Ball by creating a Throw Post. A Throw Post is a Story Post with a title of the form “X passes to Y” where X is the name of the Child or Imaginary Friend who currently owns the Ball and Y is another Child or Imaginary Friend.

If it has been 24 hours since the Ball was Thrown, and if the Child who Threw the Ball possesses the Ball, or is Best Friends with the Imaginary Friend who possesses the Ball, then the Ball is either Passed, Intercepted, or Dropped, according to the following procedure.
-If there are no successful Interception Attempts and no successful Strip Attempts on the Throw Post, then the Ball is Passed to Y.
-If there is at least one successful Interception Attempt on the Throw Post, then the Ball is Intercepted by the Child or Imaginary Friend who is named in the first line of the oldest successful Interception Attempt
-If there is at least one successful Strip Attempt on the Throw Post, then the Ball is Dropped.

When the Ball is Passed to, or Intercepted by a Child or Imaginary Friend, they come into possession of the Ball.

Create a subrule to “Passing” with the title “Interference” and the text:-

Each Child may make either an Intercept Attempt or a Strip Attempt on a Throw Post.

An Intercept Attempt is a comment on a Throw Post that Begins with the word “Intercept” and then either the name of the Child making the Intercept Attempt, or the name of an Imaginary Friend that is Best Friends with that Child.
However, a comment is not an Intercept Attempt if the Child who posted it has already made an Intercept Attempt or a Strip Attempt on the Throw Post it is attached to.

A Strip Attempt is a comment on a Throw Post that Begins with the word “Strip”.
However, a comment is not a Strip Attempt if the Child who posted it has already made an Intercept Attempt or a Strip Attempt on the Throw Post it is attached to.

After making an Intercept or Strip Attempt, a child should roll DICE100 in the GNDT and make a comment in the same Throw Post stating whether or not their Attempt was successful, this is called Confirming the Attempt.
An Intercept Attempt is successful if the Child making it Confirms it and the GNDT result is greater than 85.
A Strip Attempt is successful if the Child making it Confirms it and the GNDT result is greater than 75.
Children may not roll on the GNDT more than once per Attempt.

Append the following text to the rule “Calvinball”, if such a rule exists:

Each Child and each Imaginary Friend is on a Team, tracked on the Wiki page called “Calvinball Teams.” Any Child or Imaginary Friend is a Teammate of another Child or Imaginary Friend if they are on the same team. If a Child joins the game or a Imaginary Friend is created, they are assigned to the team with the fewest members, or, in case of a tie, to a random team among those tied for the fewest members.

Of the 13 active Children and Imaginary Friends, randomly assign 7 of them to the Red Team and the rest to the Blue Team.

Enact a new rule, “Calvinball”:

The Calvinball (or “Ball”) is an object that is either in the possession of a Child, an Imaginary Friend or nobody. By default, it is in the possession of nobody.

Possession is tracked in the GNDT field “Ball”: if possessed by a Child, that Child’s GNDT field reads “Me”; if possessed by an Imaginary Friend, the GNDT field of that Friend’s Best Friend contains the name of that Imaginary Friend.

If the Calvinball is possessed by an Imaginary Friend who has no Best Friend, then the Ball is automatically dropped and becomes in the possession of nobody.

Enact a subrule to “Imaginary Friends” called “Father Winter”:-

If there is a Nice Kid, and if the Nice Kid has voted on a particular Proposal, then Father Winter votes FOR that Proposal if the Nice Kid is voting FOR it, and AGAINST that Proposal if the Nice Kid is voting AGAINST it. A Child is a Nice Kid if their Trouble is lower than that of all other Children.

To rule “Imaginary Friends”, add subrule “Impulsive Puppy” with this text:

Impulsive Puppy votes FOR all proposals. Impulsive Puppy never has a Best Friend. Any Child who votes on behalf of Impulsive Puppy gains 1 Trouble.

Create a new subrule to “Imaginary Friends” with the title “Doctor Wiggle”, with the following text:

For each Proposal, the Child voting on behalf Doctor Wiggle rolls DICE9. On a 1-4, Doctor Wiggle votes FOR. On 5-8, Doctor Wiggle votes AGAINST. On 9, Doctor Wiggle votes DEFERENTIAL.

Add a subrule to “Imaginary Friends” called “Father Winter” with this text:

Father Winter (he) may only vote on something when the Child with the current lowest Trouble (called the Nice Kid) and/or the Child with the current highest Trouble (called the Naughty Kid) have/has already voted on the matter.

If the Nice Kid has voted, and the Naughty Kid has either not voted, or casts a different vote than the Nice Kid, or if the Naughty Kid has voted and the Nice Kid has not, Father Christmas votes the same as the Nice Kid and/or the opposite of the Naughty Kid. (If the opposite of the vote cannot be determined, he may not vote at that time on that matter.)

If the Nice Kid and Naughty Kid have cast the same vote, he may not vote on that matter.

If multiple Children qualify for the position of Nice Kid or Naughty Kid due to a tie, they all share the respective title, and he considers a majority rule to determine their votes, and follows his previously outlined behaviors. If majority is not reached from the Nice Kids or the Naughty Kids, he considers it a lack of a vote by their respective titles.

He cannot be Best Friends with the Naughty Kid. If his Best Friend becomes the Naughty Kid, the Nice Kid is now his Best Friend (if there are multiple Nice Kids, one is chosen at random).

If all Children have the same Trouble count, none of them are the Nice Kid or the Naughty Kid.

Father Winter’s votes count as as many votes as there are Nice Kids and Naughty Kids combined.

Enact a new rule, “Trouble”:-

Each Child has a numerical amount of Trouble, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero.

Add the following sentence to the end of the rule “Imaginary Friends”:-

When a Child casts an AGAINST vote on behalf of an Imaginary Friend, that Child must also gain 1 Trouble.

In “Imaginary Friends”, replace “the name of the Imaginary Friend and the vote that Imaginary Friend casts on that Proposal” with:-

the name of the Imaginary Friend and the vote that Imaginary Friend casts on that Proposal (as a word rather than as a voting icon)

Capitalise the words “FOR” and “AGAINST” throughout “Imaginary Friends” and its subrules, where those words refer to votes.

To the rule “Imaginary Friends”, add a subrule “Queen Bee” with the following text:

Queen Bee votes FOR any proposal that adds additional rules and/or behaviors or amends previous rules and/or behaviors to Queen Bee, or which adds and/or amends rules and/or behaviors to bee-related things, and AGAINST repeals of same, otherwise defers to her Best Friend.

She considers “bee-related things” to mean Imaginary Friends who are bees (such as herself), and any matter or Imaginary Friend that mentions bees, parts of bee anatomy, beekeepers, beeswax, bee communication, honey, royal jelly, bee hives, bee larvae, honeycomb, bee stings, pollen, and/or flowers.

Hello! My name is Casper and I intend to become a player. I hope my participation will be entertaining, and hopefully not obnoxious. I’ve read up on the rules and jargon, but I’m still very green so feel free to give me pointers.

Thanks!

To the rule “Imaginary Friends”, add a subrule “Count of Things” with the following text:

Count of Things votes FOR any Proposals that introduce new values tracked in the GNDT. He also votes FOR any Proposals that add or amend rules for existing GNDT values. He votes AGAINST all other proposals.

In the rule, “Imaginary Friends,” append the following to the end of the first paragraph:-

Voting on behalf of an Imaginary Friend counts as a separate vote for the purposes of the rules “Votable Matters” and “Proposals.”

To the rule “Imaginary Friends” add a subrule “Miss Laziness” with the following text:

Miss Laziness votes FOR proposals which text contains no more than 500 non-whitespace characters, and AGAINST all other proposals.

Enact a subrule to “Imaginary Friends” called “Tick-Tock”:-

Tick-Tock votes AGAINST any Proposal that includes the phrase “Daily Action” or “Weekly Action”, and FOR any other Proposal.

If there exists a subrule “Best Friends”, change it into a separate dynastic rule.

If the Rule “Imaginary Friends” exists, create a new subrule to it titled “Random Troll,” with the following text:-

Random Troll votes For any Proposal created by ayesdeeef, and Against any other Proposal.

Unidling is basically a declaration of victory since I’m so good at this game.

Enact a subrule to “Imaginary Friends” called “Best Friends”:-

Each Imaginary Friend may be Best Friends with a single Child; this is tracked in the Child’s GNDT row under “Friend”. By default, an Imaginary Friend is Best Friends with the Child who proposed the proposal that created the Imaginary Friend; if this would not be possible, the Imaginary Friend has no Best Friend.

If an Imaginary Friend is Best Friends with a Child, only that Child may cast votes on behalf of it.

If the Rule “Imaginary Friends” exists, create a subrule to it titled “Sparkles the Cat,” with the following text:-

Sparkles the Cat votes For any Proposal that creates a new Imaginary Friend or amends the rules for an existing Imaginary Friend, and Against any other Proposal.

Enact a new rule, “Imaginary Friends,” with the following text:-

An Imaginary Friend counts as a Child for the purposes of voting and quorum on Proposals, but not on Calls for Judgement or Declarations of Victory. Each Imaginary Friend is listed as subrule to this rule, with the title of the subrule being the name of the Imaginary Friend, and the text of the subrule describing the conditions under which the Imaginary Friend votes For, Against, DEF, or otherwise, on a Proposal. Any Child may cast a vote on behalf of an Imaginary Friend by posting a comment on a Proposal that contains the name of the Imaginary Friend and the vote that Imaginary Friend casts on that Proposal, as long as the vote is in accordance with the conditions described in the subrule for that Imaginary Friend.

A plastic bag is caught in the weeds that grow from the cracks in the concrete play surface. In the distance, you hear the creaking of a chain as the chilly breeze blows a swing back and forth. There’s a few other children here, but mostly the place is desolate. The oldest one gestures for you to come over.

“Wanna play a game?” he asks. “Yeah, I know it looks like we don’t have enough kids for a game. But let me tell you a secret.”

He leans in, conspiratorially. When you’re eight years old, you hope you’ll be half as cool as him. “We all have imaginary friends, right? They can play too. No, it’s not dumb. It’s cool. And then we’ll have enough to play a game. C’mon, do you want to play or not?”

Change “Clerk” to “Child”, “Clerks” to “Children”, and “Director” to “Oldest Child”.

Hereby I officially announce that the role of Director is passed to Moonroof.

Per the rule 2.4 and Kevan’s post, I have achieved victory.

“If the Director has achieved victory and is not Beleaguered, he may reveal the name of the Clerk with the highest Appraisal score: upon doing so, that Clerk achieves victory.”

Per the previous proposal, I have achieved victory. Quirck is the Clerk with the highest current Appraisal score. (They’ve said they don’t want to run a dynasty, but these values were set much earlier in the dynasty and left unchanged. A winner always has the option to “pass this role to another Clerk at this point by making a post to that effect” after their DoV has passed.)

Upon enactment of this rule, Kevan achieves victory.

In the Executive Committee rule, replace “at least five Employees” with “at least four Employees”.

Add Moonroof to the Recruitment, Finance, Investment and Welcoming Committees.

Hello, I saw your firm was looking for new applicants. I’d like to apply to become a Clerk.

Add Kevan to the Executive Committee.

The old wiki is hosted on a Linode instance, which I started for personal projects. After reading about Linode’s security issues, I kind of don’t want to give them money anymore, so I’ll probably shut it down this weekend.

I’ll back it up, so if we ever need it again I can throw it on a new server somewhere, but I would like to not do that, so if anyone needs anything, you’d better act fast. :)

In the rule “Money”, replace “Each Clerk has an amount of Money, defaulting to 5” with:-

Each Clerk has an amount of Money, defaulting to the arithmetic mean of every other Clerk’s Money (rounding down to the nearest integer)

And add a new paragraph to that rule:-

If a Clerk joins the game or unidles and is among the first three Clerks to have done so in 2016, they gain 5 Money immediately after doing so.

Josh idles out after eight days of inactivity.

Add Kevan and Tantusar to the Investment Committee.

In the Executive Committee rule, replace “at least six Employees” with “at least five Employees”.
