Proposal: Even we must be known

Reaches quorum against, 2-5. Failed by pokes.

Create a new rule “Positive Influence”

If a proposal passes with a unanimous vote, then increase the proposer’s IE by 1

 

Suggestion of course…

Proposal: Lonely planet just got lonelier…

Quorum against, 1-5. Failed by pokes.

Adminned at 01 Aug 2017 20:38:46 UTC

If the Lonely planet proposal is enacted then this proposal changes the rule Latitudes
Enact a new rule, “Latitudes”:-

Each CIC occupies a Latitude between 1 and 26 inclusive, equal to the position of the first letter of the CIC’s Name in the alphabet minus the last letter of the CIC’s name. (If the first letter of a CIC’s Name does not appear in the Latin alphabet, its Latitude is instead equal to 1DICE26.) (If the result is Negative then the positive Integer of that result is used)

The Distance between two CICs is the absolute difference between their Latitudes.

 

Modifcation of Kevan’s proposal making it more interesting… Might need to revamp it a little later on…

Proposal: The budget cycle

Reaches quorum against, 2-5. Failed by pokes.

Adminned at 01 Aug 2017 20:37:39 UTC

Modify Stats section before Perks subsection to:

Each CIC’s support staff, available infrastructure and the talent of the CIC themselves all coalesce into Stats. A CIC may increase any of their Stats at any time, unless doing so would cause their Stats to exceed 100 in total. Stats are all 0 by default, are tracked in the GNDT, and are the following:

  • Military: Measure of how much of a threat by force you are. Tanks, infantry - overall, these contribute a CIC’s “Military” stat.
  • Intel: Measure of how much of a threat by guile you are. Spies, radars, etc all contribute to this number.
  • Charisma: Measure of how much of a threat by charisma you are. This number measures a CIC’s available social capital.
  • Science: Measure of how strongly the nation is investing in scientific research.
  • Recovery: Measure of how heavily the nation is recovering from recent crises and attacks.

The value of each Stat directly affects the following Resources as described:

  • Missiles- the number of missiles (and prerequisite military tech needed to launch said missiles) is equivalent to a CIC’s Military Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
  • Troops- the number (less a few orders of magnitude) of troops and other convention weapons is equivalent to a CIC’s Military Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
  • Spies- the number of covert agents available to field clandestine operations is equivalent to a CIC’s Intel Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
  • Politicians- the number of loyal politicians able to influence global matters through negotiation and cooperation is equivalent to a CIC’s Charisma Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
  • Labs- the number of scientific institutes dedicated to advancing technologies in a CIC’s country is equivalent to a CIC’s Science Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
  • These counts represent a base amount of resources, not an upper limit, which may be increased or decreased by other means. If a CIC’s Stats total more than 100, any CIC may remove 1 from each of that CIC’s Stats which is above zero (excluding Recovery). As a weekly action, a CIC may halve their own Recovery (rounding down).
Add to Stats section “Budget” with the below content:
“Missiles”, “Troops”, “Spies”,“Politicians”, and “Labs” each has a column in the GNDT, showing the current amount of Missiles, Troops, Spies, and Politicians. As a weekly action, a CIC can make a new budget adding to 100 or lower with a different, or same, amount of resources to “Military”, “Intel”, “Charisma”, and “Science”. The appropriate amount of Missiles, Troops, Spies, Politicians, and Labs will be added.

After all, the Cold War didn’t have a static amount of nukes. Please say errors or objections.

Proposal: Lonely Planet

Reaches quorum against, 1-5. Failed by pokes.

Adminned at 01 Aug 2017 10:17:03 UTC

Enact a new rule, “Latitudes”:-

Each CIC occupies a Latitude between 1 and 26 inclusive, equal to the position of the first letter of the CIC’s Name in the alphabet. (If the first letter of a CIC’s Name does not appear in the alphabet, its Latitude is instead equal to 1.)

The Distance between two CICs is the absolute difference between their Latitudes.

In “Missiles”, replace “As a Command action, a CIC may target another CIC that they are not currently targeting as long as the new number of targeted CICs does not exceed the amount of Missile resources.” with:-

As a Command action, a CIC may target another CIC that they are not currently targeting as long as the Distance between these two CICs does not exceed the targetting CIC’s Operating Range. (A CIC’s Operating Range is the total of its Military and Science Stats.)

Proposal: Unbloc

Reaches quorum, 6-0. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 01 Aug 2017 10:14:57 UTC

In “Blocs”, replace “When a CIC joins or unidles, the UNSG shall” with “When a CIC joins or unidles, the admin processing this shall”, and replace “ever greater than 1, the UNSG shall” with “ever greater than 1, any CIC may”.

It’s public dice rolls, no reason why the UNSG has to do this. (It also doesn’t really work when someone other than the UNSG unidles a player.)

Randomly select an Eastern-Bloc CIC who voted FOR this proposal and change them to Western-Bloc, unless doing so would make a Bloc have more than 1 member than the other Bloc.

Yes, investing sooner can dodge this, but spending your liquidity early (Statbucks, currently) is an iffy move. Also, rider.

When a CIC joins or unidles, the UNSG shall assign them to the Bloc with the least amount of CICs, breaking ties randomly. If the difference in the number of CICs between Blocs is ever greater than 1, the UNSG shall take a random CIC from the Bloc with the most CICs and assign them to the other Bloc until the difference in the number of CICs between Blocs is less than 2.

Ascension Address: From the diaries of PM Wouters, 26 July 1966

It’s so difficult to be the Commander-in-chief. All I wanted to do was serve my Pays-Loups Nord by writing legislation to help the people, but then someone had to go and die, and I had to go and say ‘okay’ to becoming Prime Minister. This shouldn’t have been easy, but at least not this hard. Tensions since last week have been extremely high. Everyone’s got nukes, everyone suddenly seems more willing to use them, and it’s like the only way to get respect these days is to bully people around. I just need some sleep, but the pills are making it hard, and when it comes all I get are fever dreams about pacts and Seraphim.

Veto all pending Proposals. Change ‘Pactmaker’ to ‘CIC’; changing the first instance to “Commander-in-chief (abbreviated CIC)”. Change ‘Seraphim’ to ‘UNSG’; changing the first instance to “UN Secretary-General (abbreviated UNSG)”. Repeal all Dynastic Rules except for “Combos” and “Tags”.

Since some steps require posting to the blog, I couldn’t have made this a combo post, so I apologize. I did the following:

- Recieved 15 mana by making three promises consisting of “I promise I will give the Seraphim 6 mana within 96 hours of making this Promise.” (Promises #10-12)
- Created the two golems, Gneins and Gnozwei (whose initial promises are #13 and #14). Afterwards, my mana was 9, and my stamina was 0.
- Taken 14 Stamina as a weekly action.
- Created the two golems, Gnodrei and Gnovier (whose initial promises are #15 and #16). Afterwards, my mana was 3, and my stamina was 0.
- Activated Gneins. Gneins then made the 20 promises, as instructed, and gave me 100 mana.
- Set my mana to 0, promised: “I promise not to create a Golem with any engraved promise: “I promise to make 20 promises of the form ‘I promise I will give the Seraphim 6 mana within 96 hours of making this Promise’, and then give the Pactmaker named pokes 100 mana.”, and then activate it, so as to gain mana.”, and gained 1 Gnosis.
- Repeated the previous two steps, activating Gnozwei, Gnodrei, and Gnovier, in that order, gaining 3 more Gnosis.
- Received 100 mana by making the promise: “I promise I will give the Seraphim 6 mana within 96 hours of making this Promise.” personally 20 more times.
- Set my mana to 0, promised: “I promise not to personally make 20 promises of the form ‘I will give the Seraphim 6 mana within 96 hours of making this Promise’ so as to gain mana.”, and gained 1 Gnosis.
- Having 5 Gnosis, became a Diety.

Story Post: New Golem: Gneins

I create a new Golem named “Gneins”. It has one promise engraved in it:

“I promise to make 20 promises of the form ‘I will give the Seraphim 6 mana within 96 hours of making this Promise’, and then give the Pactmaker named pokes 100 mana.”

In the interest of fairness, full disclosure: I intend to (although this isn’t a promise) admin all currently pending Proposals very shortly after they can be adminned.

Proposal: Squire

Self-killed. Failed by pokes.

Adminned at 26 Jul 2017 22:19:27 UTC

Add “Squire”, with:

Some Players are Squires, and can become such by proposal. Squires can grant other Players Admin abilities on a software level when such a Player is a gamestate Admin but doesn’t have Admin abilities on a software level yet. (Squires have Admin powers on a software level, but are not gamestate Admins themselves). Squires can Resolve proposals which make a player Admin, as if they were an Admin themselves at that moment. This is the only kind of proposal that a Squire can Resolve, and they can Resolve them at any moment if there are no non-idle Admins.

Then, in “Squire”, replace “Player” and “Players” with “Pactmaker” and “Pactmakers” respectively.

Make Cuddlebeam a Squire. Mark all Squires with an apostrophe ( ’ ) in the sidebar.

I doubt it will happen anytime soon, but a solution like this can be best done at a moment with active admins, because if there are no unidle admins (which has happened before), players are pretty screwed and a solution can’t be Resolved, because you need an Admin for that. This allows a player who is not motivated to be a a full-fledged Admin, yet is motivated to protect the game, to create new Admins in these cases of crisis.

Proposal: Expand and Compress

Times out 3-0. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 24 Jul 2017 22:02:21 UTC

Amend “Tags” to read:

Votable matters have zero or more tags. Tags are added by adding it to the title of a votable matter with the format “[X]” where [X] is the tag, for example “[Core] Wording Fix”. Votable Matters require the [Core] tag in order to make changes to the Core Rules, and the [Appendix] tag in order to make changes to the Appendix Rules. Votable Matters other than DoVs require the [Victory] tag in order to grant victory to a Pactmaker.

I believe that we only use tags to mark [Core] and [Appendix] changes as well as trying to prevent getting victory by some sly use of a Proposal/CFJ

A Golem that has a Gnosis value of -1 is considered to be destroyed.
Any Pactmaker may set a destroyed Golem’s Gnosis value to -1.

Still the square thing is important, also some notation for non-admins to “destroy” a golem

Change the “Tags” rule to

Tags are put in the title of the votable matter with the format “[X]” where X is the tag. Votable matters with tags in their titles are considered to have those tags. Votable matters cannot have tags which are not defined anywhere.

Votable matters have at least one tag, if no tags are given the defaults are used. Proposals default to [Dynastic] and [Gamestate], DoV default to [Victory] and [Gamestate] and other Votable matters default to the [Gamestate] tag. CfJ default to every tag.

Some valid tags are:
*Victory
*Dynastic
*Gamestate
*Core
*Appendix

Tags, other than [Victory] and [Gamestate], correspond to rules which are not subrules of any rule. For each tag which corresponds to a section in the ruleset, votable matters can only make changes to that tag’s corresponding ruleset section if they have that tag. Votable matters can only affect the gamestate if they have the [Gamestate] tag. Votable matters can only give a Pactmaker victory if they have the [Victory] tag.

A proposal which specifically names a rule’s title to change and doesn’t have the correct tag for that rule is considered to have the correct tag for that rule. In case multipul rules have the same name but are in different tag spaces (such as a Dynastic rule “Pactmakers” and the Core rule “Pactmakers”) the order of precedence for which tag is added, and therefore which rule is edited, is [Dynastic], [Core], [Appendix]. So if a proposal were to name a rule to change that does not appear in the Dynastic rules but there are two rules with the same name in both the Core and Appendix rules, it would change only the Core rule.

The partial list of valid tags is maintained as follows:

  tags, other than [Victory] and [Gamestate], which do not have a section in the ruleset they correspond to are not valid and should be removed from the list.
  rules which don’t have any subrules and don’t have a corresponding tag should have a tag added to the list. Adding a tag to the list is done by taking the section name that needs a tag and adding it to the list of valid tags. Then if the most recently added tag has the word “Rules”, remove that word from the tag unless that is the only word in the tag.

Changed some problems that were recurring with the tags rule.
Might be a good idea to use http://cemerick.github.com/jsdifflib/demo.html to look at the changes.

Add a new rule, “Golem”:

A Golem is an automaton created from the Earth, animated by Pact Magic. For the purpose of Dynastic Rules, they count as a Pactmaker.

A Pactmaker may create a Golem by, as an atomic action:
* Spending 3 Mana and 7 Stamina.
* Giving the Golem a name, which must be a single word beginning with the letter G, and not the name of any Pactmaker.
* Engraving at least one Promise into the Golem. The Golem is then considered to have made those Promise(s).
* Making a public post about the Golem’s creation, indicating the Golem’s name and promise(s).

At the time of its creation, the position of a Golem in Ibiza is that of its creator; its Mana is 1, and its Stamina is 5.

At any time, a Pactmaker may Activate a Golem. When a Golem is Activated, it attempts to keep all of its Promises. If there is ambiguity in how the Golem should resolve keeping its Promises, the Activator may choose how to resolve it.

If a Golem is the subject of a Magic Backlash post that is Enacted, it is destroyed instead of undergoing Extreme Seizures.

An Admin may add newly-created Golems or remove destroyed Golems from the GNDT.

Remove “While a Pactmaker is Scorning five or more Promises, they cannot Scorn further Promises.” from “Scorn”.

This was originally a way to un-scorn promises from idle Pactmakers. I edited it to this: Not only does unshackling the amount of scorn fix the idle promise problem, I hope it encourages people to scorn non-trivial promises more often, and maybe even therefore make more non-trivial promises.

Proposal: Gnosis

Times out 5-0. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 22 Jul 2017 11:32:10 UTC

Add Rule “Gnosis”, with:

Each Pactmaker has a ‘Gnosis’ value, which is a non-negative integer that defaults to zero. Whenever a Pactmaker gains 100 or more mana in a 12-hour period, they can do the following steps as an Atomic Action:
-Set their mana to zero
-Promise to never use again any method/s (as in the full pathway, partial uses of the pathway of the method wouldn’t break the promise) they used to gain mana during that 12-hour period
-Gain 1 Gnosis.

Whenever a Pactmaker has 5 or more Gnosis, they can become a Deity by making a Story Post for this purpose.

Infinite looping seems to pop up a lot, so this allows you to cash it in instead of sitting around with awkward amounts of mana.

A Riddle Untold

Sphinx idles. Quorum changes to 6.

Proposal: It’s magical okay!

Failed can’t be enacted 1-1. Failed by card.

Adminned at 21 Jul 2017 16:52:40 UTC

Add a new rule “Spells” with the text

A Pactmaker can at-will cast a spell. Casting is the following Atomic Action:
# Meet the requirements of the casting cost.
# Make appropriate changes to the gamestate.

An example of spell formatting is shown below.
  (type) Name [casting cost]: Effect {Maintained Cost}
Types are Instantanious and Maintained, a spell must have at least one type. An Instantanious spell’s effect lasts only one second. A Maintained spell’s effect lasts as long as the Pactmaker meets the Maintained Cost requirements every day after it was cast. If a Pactmaker misses a payment then the Effect ceases and the Pactmaker must recast the spell to do the Effect.

Spell List:
*(Instantanious) Teleport [Spend X Mana]: Change your location to a square on the Ibiza Town which is within X squares of your current location.

*(Maintainted) [Have at least 1 Promise]: If you have already maintained this spell today, nothing happens, otherwise gain X Mana where X is the number of days you have maintained this spell since you most recently cast it. {Make a Promise if you have not done so already today. Have not ever undergone Extreme Seizures.]

There should be spells of some sort, right? Maybe this is too complicated though?

Adminned at 21 Jul 2017 01:22:27 UTC

Add to “Mana” a subsection called “Channeling” with:

A Pactmaker can Channel one of their Promises at will by paying 1 mana and marking it with [Channeling since X], where X is the date when they started Channeling that Promise. After a Promise has been Channeled for a week (168 hours), a Pactmaker can stop Channeling it. When that happens, they gain mana equal to twice the amount of Scorns that Promise currently has. If a Promise with a Channeling is broken, that Channeling is removed.

Betting on that you won’t break a promise that others believe you will.

- Save it: By sending it back to Heaven, the Cherub is Saved, removed from the Ibiza map, and the saving Pactmaker gains 5 mana.

Once per week, the Seraphim can and shall create a new Cherub at a random Ibiza Square.

Create two Cherubs at random Ibiza Squares.

Add a subsection called “Spells” to “Mana” with:

The following are Spells that Pactmakers can perform, by paying its associated cost in mana (within parentesis in the list) or 1 mana, whichever is greater. (“T” represents the spellcasting Pactmaker’s “Tension”, which is the amount of their Promises which have been Scorned. The tighter - and riskier - their promises are, the more power they can wield.)
* (5) Pulley: Move a Pactmaker on your Square up to T Squares away from their original position.
* (10 - T) Noose: Remove from the Ibiza map a Mana-eater which is on your Square.
* (5 - T) Fishing Line: Only useable on a Beach Square. Put a Pactmaker or a Mana-Eater which is on a Water Square onto your Square.

Making these both at the same time so that the Cherub-hunting can be done in the context of Spells.

Then add to that rule:-

If a Pactmaker posts a comment of “Mea Culpa” in relation to an action they have taken which they believe breaks one of their own Promises, then that Pactmaker immediately acquires Extreme Seizures with regard to that Promise and action.

Add a section called “Suucbus (Mana-eater)”, with:

Succubi are powerful, fickle and seductive demons. Only 2 exist, named Stheno and Euryale, and their position default to D6 and G2 respectively.

Each Succubus has a Leash Strength value (which is an integer) and a Leashholder (which is a Pactmaker or nobody), defaulting to 0 and nobody. This information is tracked on the Ibiza Map.

Any Pactmaker can become the new Leashholder of a Succubus by paying more mana than that Succubus’s current Leash Strength value. The Leash Strength value then becomes that paid amount. A Leashholder can command their Succubus at-will, to cause them to do one the following:

- Service a Pactmaker on their (the succubus’s) square which has at least 10 Stamina. That Pactmaker gains 2 mana but loses 10 Stamina.
- be Pulled by the Leash to their Leashholder’s Square, causing the Succubus to position themselves at their Leashholder’s location for free (if they aren’t already there).
- If their Leashholder is at their same Square - Eat their Leashholder’s Soul. From that moment on, that Pactmaker never has a vote on proposals, and does not count for Popular/Unpopular quorum of Proposals, but gains 6 mana instead of 3 from Satisfying their Scornings as long as they remain as that Succubus’s Leashholder.

Have Euryale have Eaten the Seraphim’s Soul.

Move the bullet point beginning “If a number or other game variable is selected ‘at random’ or ‘randomly’ from a range of possible values” in “Numbers and Variables”, making it a paragraph at the end of “Random Generators”.

Remove the “VEGGIE” bullet point from “Random Generators”.

Given that “‘random’ means you have to use the GNDT” gets missed occasionally, this is perhaps in the wrong place.

And it’s maybe time to cut the Veggie die. It was added directly to the GNDT by someone in 2006 for no particular reason, and someone else immediately made a single proposal to use it to represent weather, which failed. That’s it. It was an easter egg for six years before we codified the GNDT dice in the appendix, and five years on from that we’ve still never used it for anything. Fruit has some recurring use in food mechanics and one-armed bandits, to the point where it has a little tradition, but the veggie die has absolutely zero heritage beyond one failed proposal in 2006.

Change the content of “Ibiza Town” to:

Each Pactmaker is at a Square (Squares being cells in the Ibiza map grid), defaulting to D4. A Pactmaker can pay 2 Stamina to move to a square which is adjacent to their current square.

Each of Ibiza Town’s squares contains a Feature. Each Feature has a name (or none). Features and certain special effects related to that Feature are the following:
- Town Hall:
- Cathedral:
- Hospital:
- Night Club:
- Bar:
- Hotel:
- Beach:
- Exotic:
- Casino:
- Residential:
- Fields (tracked as a nameless green square): Often open and easy to drive (or run) through, Pactmakers only pay 1 Stamina instead of 2 for moving onto a Fields Square.
- Water (tracked as a nameless blue square): Pactmakers cannot move onto Water squares.

Add a subsection called “Map Naming” within the “Ibiza Town” section which says:

Up to 48 hours after the proposal that added this ruletext has been enacted, any Pactmaker can change the name of a Square at-will, provided that the square still contains the name of the type of Feature that it is (For example, “Casino” to “John Doe’s Casino”). The Seraphim can change the name of a Feature at any moment.

Change the Ibiza Map to be as per the following: https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Ibiza_Map_Proposal&oldid=4512, with the squares becoming to contain their named Features (and nameless green squares becoming Fields and nameless blue squares becoming Water)

Add the following to the “Imp (Mana-eater)” rule:

A Pactmaker may command an Imp Mana-eater they have summoned to Torment another Pactmaker by expending 3 mana if the following is true:
  1. The commanding Pactmaker is not undergoing Extreme Seizures and is not the subject of a Magic Backlash Official Post.
  2. The targeted Pactmaker has Scorned one or more of the commanding Pactmaker’s Promises.
  3. The commanded Imp is not currently Tormenting another Pactmaker.

Once a Pactmaker is undergoing Torment, the tormenting Imp Mana-eater is moved to the square of the targeted Pactmaker and the Imp’s name is changed to “[Pactmaker]‘s Imp tormenting [Target]”. The targeted Pactmaker then suffers the following effects:
  1. The tormented Pactmaker may not expend stamina to change locations on the Ibiza board. If the tormented Pactmaker’s location changes on the Ibiza board for any other reason, the tormenting Imp’s location changes to the same location.
  2. The tormented Pactmaker may not expend mana to change the location of any Mana-eater on the Ibiza board.

Torment may be ended in the following ways:
  1. The commanding Pactmaker ends the Torment by changing the tormenting Imp’s name on the Ibiza board.
  2. The tormenting Imp becomes unsummoned
  3. The tormented Pactmaker no longer Scorns any Promises of the commanding Pactmaker

Now that Imps can be summoned, let’s give them something to do

Add a rule called “Agendas” with the following:

Influential entities often need the help from Pactmakers in order to advance their agendas. Agendas have ordinal Stages, and are by default in their first Stage. Content within Stages which its Agenda is not within, does not apply (and the content within the Stage the Agenda is currently at does apply as regular ruletext). The current stage an Agenda is at is tracked here, by an asterisk. Agendas advance a Stage when condition between the following symbol: “#” in their current Stage has been fulfilled. Favors may be listed here as well, in their regular format.

The Seraphim’s Agenda:“I-It’s not like I lo-love Humanity or anything, idiot! ...Love… wouldn’t even begin to describe it.

*Stage 1: “These people are ripe - they’re righteous, morally straight. We need to send them to Heaven before they have a change of heart.”
During this Stage, Pactmakers can pay 10 Stamina to Hunt and Kill a Target at their square. Doing this causes that Pactmaker to promise “I promise I won’t move back to XXX for a week (168 hours, starting when I made this Promise)”, where XXX is where they performed that “Hunt and Kill a Target” action. They have to avoid the cops, for now.
[10] Perform “Hunt and Kill a Target”.
#Quorum Pactmakers have performed the Favor above#

Stage 2: After falling from grace by encouraging mass homicides, the Seraphim needs to cannibalize on other angelic entities to stay alive - and prepare the next part of her plan.
All Stray Cherubs that are moved to the Seraphim’s square are Eaten - and removed from Ibiza.
[5] Pay a Stray Cherub to move onto the Seraphim’s Square

Could work for Innovationists/Traditionalists too (conflicting Stages perhaps, with a payoff), among others.

I believe that there will be cases where the same Promises might be broken repeatedly (for example, I possibly might trigger a Backlash with every Proposal and that might bog down things). So this Call for Proposal aims to remove redundant Backlashes (and add some extra useful info too).

Add to “Pact Magic”:

The Date of the latest Extreme Seizure a Pactmaker has been was given is tracked on “Seizure Date” in the GNDT.

A Pactmaker can voluntarily publicly state that they Crack a Promise along an action - this breaks that Promise (regardless of if that action breaks that Promise’s text content or not). Then, such an action then cannot be a target of a Magic Backlash due to that Promise, and the the appropriate GNDT/Wiki/other game values are changed as per the consequences a Magic Backlash, if it was applied at the time of performing that action and towards the action with the Promise Cracking.

Avoiding repeated Magic Backlash bureaucracy for the same thing, but keeping the same effects as if such a Backlash had happened (Scorn rewards, etc, are kept).

Adminned at 13 Jul 2017 05:25:14 UTC

Add a subrule to “Pact Magic” called “Scorn”:-

A Pactmaker can Scorn any Promise made by another Pactmaker (unless that other Pactmaker is undergoing Extreme Seizures, or is the subject of a Magic Backlash Official Post): upon doing so, the Scorned Pactmaker gains 1 Mana. Scorn is tracked by appending “[Scorned by Name]” to the end of the Promise, where “Name” is the Scorner’s name. A single Pactmaker cannot Scorn more than five Promises.

While a Pactmaker is undergoing Extreme Seizures as a result of a broken Promise, any Pactmaker who is Scorning that Promise may cease Scorning it: if they do so, they gain 3 Mana.

Allowing players to bet on which promises might be broken, encouraging the creation of non-trivial ones.

Because the recently enacted new rules (I think the ones suggested by Cpt_Koen) didn’t allow an ascension address to repeal pending proposals and nobody caught it, the ruleset is inconsistent. This also had our new Seraphim mistakenly make two proposals, when they already had two pending ones.

First:
Amend ” one of the new Expedition Leaders makes an Ascension Address by posting an entry in the “Ascension Address” category - this should specify a chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally specify that the terms Explorer and Expedition Leader will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset, and/or a number of dynastic rules to keep. Upon posting such an Ascension Address, the Ruleset is updated to reflect any changed terms, and any dynastic rules which were not listed to be kept are repealed.” to

Secondly:

Thirdly:
Make the illegal proposals “Threads of Magic”, “Mana” and any otherwise valid votes on them legal.

Proposal: Mana

Reached quorum 9 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 12 Jul 2017 12:44:05 UTC

Create a section called “Mana”, within it, add:

Pactmakers have an amount of Mana, which is an integer value which defaults to 0 and is tracked in the GNDT. Pactmakers can transfer any integer amount of their mana to any other Pactmaker.

Pactmakers can gain mana by doing Favors to otherworldly patrons. Once a Favor is completed, that Pactmaker gains an amount of mana according to that Favor’s payout (which is in corchetes):
- [5] Promise the following “I will give the Seraphim 6 mana within 48 hours of making this Promise.” while having not ever done this Favor.

Proposal: Threads of Magic

Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 12 Jul 2017 12:41:53 UTC

Create a new section called “Pact Magic”, within it, add:

Pactmakers can, at-will, create Promises for themselves, which are strings of text. Each Promise possesses a number (the “Promise’s Number”) - the first Promise created has a number of 1, and the second one 2, and the third one 3, etc, with all Promise numbers following that pattern. Pactmakers should not break their own Promise/s, and for greater clarity, Promises don’t “bind” anyone except the Pactmaker which made the Promise. All Promises (along who they belong to) are tracked on the “Pact Magic” wikipage.

Any Pactmaker can (and should, unless there already is one of these for the case) raise a Magic Backlash Official Post. Those posts are Voteable Matters, and should provide information which allows to determine that such a Pactmaker has broken their Promise, because if passed, such a Pactmaker will acquire Extreme Seizures..

A Pending Magic Backlash may be Enacted by any Admin if all of the following are true:
-It is Popular.
A Pending Magic Backlash may be Failed by any Admin if any of the following are true:
-It is Unpopular.

While a Pactmaker is undergoing Extreme Seizures, they cannot perform dynastic actions nor post any DoVs.  Extreme Seizures last for 96 hours (4 days) since the last time granted.

Ascension Address: Pact Magic

The Artefacts were destroyed, granting vast amounts of magic power to a certain Russian handyman. However, in order to keep his new power in check, he needed to perform a powerful magic pact with entities from beyond.

...

Several years later, in an age of social media and smartphones, the remains of this magic still lingers - in the hands of “Pactmakers”, which have refined the art of the Original Pact, allowing it to be used in many more ways.

The Original Pact is massive, thick, but crude - like a giant rope holding a knot. Pact Magic works by taking a string from that “rope” to create new binds - or other surprising uses. And the Original Pact is starting to wear thin.

a New “Original Pact” needs to be made - and soon.

Keep “Combos” and “Tags”, Repeal all other Dynastic Rules.

Replace “Explorer” with “Pactmaker” and “Expedition Leader” with “Seraphim”.

If the proposal “[Core] I choose you!” passed, add to “Votes” under “Votable Matters”, after the paragraph about DEFERENTIAL votes:

An Explorer other than the Expedition Leaders may make a PREFERENTIAL vote. It is a vote of confidence in that particular Expedition Leader. A PREFERENTIAL vote is in the form of :X:, where X is the name of an Expedition Leader. When an Expedition Leader has a valid vote other than VETO or PREFERENTIAL, all PREFERENTIAL votes with the name of that Expedition Leader become the same as that Expedition Leader’s Vote for the purposes of other rules unless otherwise specified.

As a newbie, the slight differences between voting systems for Proposals, CfJs, and DoVs were a sharp edge. This tries to isolate the core of what we have in each of the individual voting systems to the notion of Popularity vs. Unpopularity, and then each of the votable matter categories build off that concept in a way that displays the differences in a uniform manner. The intent is to be logically equivalent to the current voting rules, except that DEF votes count in CfJs and DoVs (should they not?).

It’s on a wiki page with the current Core as the first revision, so you can see the differences from the original Core here: https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=OneVoteCore&diff=4438&oldid=4433 .

And then, so as to not steamroll over Card’s PREFs, another version with those is available. For those, I also added that Expedition Leaders cannot PREF.

It’s entirely possible to change the gamestate during Hiatus (Idling/unidling/CFJs/etc), and such an ability has been attempted to be used as a defense against DoVs before.

Any Explorer may send a Diary Entry to the Expedition Leader via private message, to be found embedded in the snow and ice a hundred years from now. A Diary Entry must list each Explorer (except the Expedition Leader) exactly once, and suspect exactly two different Backgrounds for each of those Explorers.

A suspected Background is correct if the Explorer it refers to has that Background, and false otherwise. A Diary Entry’s score is equal to the number of correct suspected Backgrounds that it contains. If a single Explorer submits multiple Diary Entries, all of those Diary Entries beyond the first instead have a score of zero.

If the date is on or after the 12th of July 2017, or if the Expedition Leader has received a Diary Entry from every other Explorer, then the Expedition Leader should make a blog post listing the scores of all Diary Entries received. Upon doing so, the Explorer who sent the Diary Entry with the single highest score achieves victory. (If this is tied, the tied Explorer to have made a proposal earliest in the current dynasty achieves victory.)

Delete the text “A Cultist may never achieve Victory if they haven’t Unveiled, or if their latest Unveiling post contains declarations which are not accurate.

Call for Judgment: Handymanning off the books

Reached quorum 6 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 03 Jul 2017 08:37:14 UTC

Dear fellow Explorers,

Recently, I was witness to an Avalanche of new Camps. Being an Adventurer, I like exploring the wilds and I cannot support this reckless initiative. What are we doing, urbanizing the antarctic?

One of the new Camps is named “Snowball Factory Camp”. This Camp shouldn’t exist. Not only would a snowball fight distract Explorers from their adventuring or from bear-wrestling; but the Camp’s name is three words long, which is an obvious infraction to the rule “Camping”. I quote:

Add the name of the new Camp. It must end in ” Camp” and must be two words long and can’t be the same as any existing Camp.

I took it upon myself to investigate the circumstances which led to the apparent setting up of that Camp. As it turns out, there was a lot of illegal work involved!! By a undeclared handyman no less!!! Looking closely at the GNDT edits, I found the following illegal actions (hereafter, “Cuddlebeam” refers to the Explorer named “Cuddlebeam”):

* Cuddlebeam spent three of their supplies to set up “Snowball Factory Camp”, which has an illegal name.
* Cuddlebeam set up “Disco Camp” and “a Camp”, spending only three supplies to do so every time; setting up a Camp is an Outdoors action, which is done while not being inside a warm Camp, and Cuddlebeam doesn’t have COLD WEATHER CLOTHING. Thus they should have spent one extra supply every time.
* Cuddlebeam exited Boot Camp and Disco Camp, and changed latitudes twice. Again, those are Outdoors action, and all this moving around should have cost him 6 Supplies.
* Cuddlebeam changed their supplies from 8 to 11, with the GNDT comment “(Oh wait, I’m a Handyman. $$tax return$$, I made 3 Camps.)”. However, there is no such thing as a “tax return” defined in the ruleset. The Handyman power as described in the ruleset is:

When a Handyman would spend a number of Supplies to perform an action, they may instead spend half that number of Supplies (rounding up) to perform it. (This ability may not be used more than once per action.)

Indeed, a Handyman may spend half the number of supplies. But Cuddlebeam didn’t. Nowhere in the ruleset does it say a Handyman can later change his mind and be repaid some supplies. This is illicit handymanning.

Cuddlebeam began with 19 Supplies. They should have spent 6 (moving) + 8 (setting up two Camps); their Supplies should now be 5. Instead they are 11.


Correct the Gamestate by doing the following, in order:
- For every Explorer whose location is “Snowball Factory Camp”, have them take the Outdoors action “exit the Camp”.
- Remove the Camp “Snowball Factory Camp”.
- Lower Cuddlebeam’s supplies by 6. If this would cause Cuddlebeam’s Supplies to be negative, set their Supplies to zero instead, but increase their Debt by the difference.

If an Explorer (other than the Expedition Leader) believes that they have achieved victory in the current Dynasty, they may make a post to the Blognomic weblog in the Declaration of Victory category, detailing this.

If an Explorer (hereafter referred to as the Victor) believes that they have achieved victory in the current Dynasty, either individually, or collectively with other Explorers (hereafter referred to as the co-Victors), then that Explorer may make a post to the Blognomic weblog in the Declaration of Victory category, detailing this, and specifying all the co-Victors, if applicable.

Transpose rules 2.11 “Victory” and 2.12 “Artefacts”, so that “Victory” is numbered 2.12 and “Artefacts” 2.11.

Remove the text:

If a Cultist has a number of Artefacts equal to a quorum of Cultists, and is at the Mountain Camp, and is not at Gunpoint, then that Cultist has achieved victory.

If three Artefacts have been destroyed, then the Explorer to have destroyed the most Artefacts (breaking ties in favour of the Explorer to have destroyed an Artefact most recently) has achieved victory.

from rule “Artefacts”, and append it to rule “Victory”.

Append to rule “Victory” the text:

At any time, a Cultist may Unveil by posting a Story Post containing the word “Unveiling” in its title. In that post, they must declare one of the following:
- that they are the only Cultist;
- that there are exactly two Cultists, in which case the post must also specify the name of the other Cultist;
- that there are at least three Cultists, in which case the post must also specify the names of at least two other Cultists.
A Cultist may never achieve Victory if they haven’t Unveiled, or if their latest Unveiling post contains declarations which are not accurate. When a Cultist achieves Victory, they achieve Victory collectively with all the other Cultists whom they named in their latest Unveiling post, if there are any.

Addressing the two issues card cited:
- that a DoV can only make the author an Expedition Leader achieve victory
- who determines the theme

Plus obliges a victor Cultist to actually name his co-Victors (and invalidates the Victory if they guess wrong).

Proposal: HexHex

Reached quorum 6-0

Adminned at 04 Jul 2017 06:40:26 UTC

Change “The Base Camp and the Mountain Camp are Hexproof - Explorers within it are always Hexproof, until they leave it.” to

Explorers at the locations Base Camp and Mountain Camp are considered to be Hexproof.

Make any Explorer that has paid 4 supplies to become Hexproof, Hexproof.

Stops people who paid to become hexproof from losing it if they leave those camps.
I believe “considered to be” doesn’t actually change an Explorer’s value of Hexproof.

Add a new section called “Triumvirate”, within it, add:

The Explorers named Kevan, pokes and orkboi have achieved Victory and shall all three be the next Expedition Leaders of the next Dynasty.  Each of those Explorers may pass this role to another Explorer during the associated DoV by making a post to that effect, if they wish.

Contains copypasta from Koen’s proposal.

Story Post: I don’t know what exactly to put here

I want to spend two supplies to perform an outdoor action to change my location to boot camp.

P.S. Am I doing this right? Would someone tell me exactly how I should be playing?

I would like to be inducted as a new player.

Declaration of Victory: Smash Those Cultists!

Non-against under quorum after 12 hours. Failed by pokes.

Adminned at 02 Jul 2017 15:52:58 UTC

As per rule “2.12 Artefacts”

If three Artefacts have been destroyed, then the Explorer to have destroyed the most Artefacts (breaking ties in favour of the Explorer to have destroyed an Artefact most recently) has achieved victory.

4 artefacts have been broken. I have broken 2 artefacts and Cuddlebeam has also, however the most recent artefact destroyed was by me.
Therefore I have achieved victory.

I see no problem with having multiple Expedition Leaders. Though in most Dynasties, Expedition Leaders have acted as if they were referees, this is not required by the Core Rules and they can still play, participate, maybe even achieve Victory.
