The Narrator is always Weakened.

Replace “unless that Weakened Sailor is a Prisoner” with “unless that Weakened Sailor is a Prisoner or Passenger”.

In “Encounter”, replace the paragraph beginning with “A hunt that has not ended within 48 hours of its posting time ends at that time.” with:-

If an Encounter is more than 48 hours old, any Sailor may End it by posting a comment to that effect on the Passenger’s Log post that announced the Encounter. When an Encounter ends in this manner and its Fast-Fish is Angry, each Sailor at that Encounter loses Health equal to that Fast-Fish’s Danger.

Add to that rule:-

When an Encounter has ended, Encounter Actions may no longer be taken at it.

“The boats were lowered into the crashing waters, and their crews rowed hard into the sun, heading towards a lone orca which had been making a straight and urgent line towards our ship. As our harpooneers neared the creature the reason for its heedless path became apparent, for the whaling ship Calypso had just that moment rounded the rocks of Cape Disaster, apparently in pursuit of the same fish.”

Sailors Cuddlebeam, Card, Derrick and Jumble joined the Hunt. (Mexianus declared an intention to, but failed to increase their Hunger, so the declaration was invalid.) This Hunt has a Maneuver of 1 and a Power of 4, and it has one Encounter. With four Harpoons, the Encounter starts with +4 Power.

Encounter: An angry Orca with Speed 5, Danger 2, Yield 2 and Uncommonness 5. The Encounter has 1 Maneuver Energy and 8 Power Energy, and Derrick is its Leader.

The SS Calypso is in the area until the next log.

If it is the first Log of the week, set all Working Sailors to Ready.

For each Sailor who has taken a Job Action earlier in the current week, set them to Working.

In our haste to raise the sails, Deckhand Brendan lost his footing and dropped like a stone from the rigging, disappearing into the rolling ocean.”

Another whaling vessel is in the area until the next Log. Brendan went Overboard.

in the subrule “Encounters”:

Change:

If all available turns for the Hunt has been used up, but the Danger of the Encounter’s Fast-Fish is above 0, then the Hunt is Defeated: they each lose Health equal to the Fast-Fish’s Danger.

It appear that our erst-while captain has become indisposed, and I have been informed that only the captain has the authority to lower the boats. We need leadership, and as Chief Mate, I will act as captain until our leader returns.

I make the following pledges:
I will freely step down if a more worthy candidate presents himself. Such candidates include former captains and those who have shown themselves to be bold and skillful hunters of whales

“Great commotion and excitement on deck this morning, and not a little confusion, as the Haniver lowered its boats for its first hunt of the season. As the boats splashed down into the water, a great silvery sunfish was sighted for the first time a way off to starboard. And perhaps attracted by the noise, a hammerhead shark thrashed through the water on the other side of our ship.”

Sailors Corona, Card and Jumble joined the Hunt. (Brendan and DeWaldo declared an intention to, but failed to increase their Hunger, so the declaration was invalid.) This Hunt has a Maneuver of 1 and a Power of 1, and it has two Encounters. As Card had the presence of mind to bring a Harpoon, each Encounter starts with +1 Power.

Starboard Encounter: A Benign Sunfish with Speed 3, Danger 1, Yield 2. The Encounter has 1 Maneuver Energy and 2 Power Energy, and Jumble is its Leader.

*If the Narrator’s vote is the only one cast on the votable matter it is considered a vote of AGAINST.
*Otherwise the Narrator’s vote is taken as the majority of valid AGAINST or FOR votes that are currently cast on the votable matter.

If the Haniver has more than one Sailor holding the Position of Captain, then any rule which refers to “the Captain” is taken to refer to the single Captain with the highest Prestige. (If there is no such Captain, then no Sailor is considered to be a Captain for the purposes of any usage of the phrase “the Captain”.)

When the boat becomes sunk, all Sailors become Adrift. While Adrift, Sailors can only perform Adrift Actions (as a Daily Action), via increasing their Hunger by 1, and can perform no other kind of Dynastic Action. The Following are Adrift Actions:
- Paddle: Roll DICE5: If you roll a 1, you are considered to be Safe and no longer Adrift. (While you are Safe, you cannot perform any Dynastic Action, but your Health cannot lower.)
- Drag down: Lower your Health by 1. Lower another Adrift Sailor’s HP by 1.
- Drown: Set your Health to 0.
- Aid: Choose another Sailor. Roll DICE5: If you roll a 1, they considered to be Safe and no longer Adrift. (While you are Safe, you cannot perform any Dynastic Action, but your Health cannot lower.)

Create a new rule called “Pup” with:

Pup is the ship’s mascot dog, and honorary Captain of the Haniver. While Pup is Alive (has more than 0 Health), Sailor Captains become Deckhands and no Sailor can become a Captain. Pup is considered to have 1 Health and a blog post shall be made dedicated to the tragedy of their death in the case that their Health is lowered from that value. The Health of Pup is tracked via this information.

A Sailor can Feed Pup an instance of Jerky as a Daily Action via making a blog post for this purpose and having Jerky as held Item. Feeding Pup Jerky destroys the Jerky you have in your possession along allowing you to perform a single action that only someone with the Captain Position could do. Pup can only be Fed once every 24 hours.

Add the following to the list of items:

Jerky: (10 at the Haniver by default)

“I was losing badly at cards below deck when a cry of ‘land!’ rang out from above. Only the second mate was on night watch, and the Haniver had been wheeling around in open water for days. My fellow gamblers exchanged puzzled looks and as we manoeuvred into a slow and unspoken agreement to draw back our chips and put down our cards, we all heard a thin splash through the aft wall.

The ship had not drifted far, and second mate Pokes was soon pulled up from the choppy open waters, staring blank at the stars and still mouthing ‘land!’”

Second Mate Pokes has become Weakened through illness.

A Creature has a name, a speed, a danger, a yield, a disposition and an uncommonness. The disposition can be either benign or angry.

Change “Whales are creatures with a name of “Whale”, a speed of 3, a danger of 1, a yield of 2, and an uncommonness of 0.” to

Whales are creatures with a name of “Whale”, a speed of 3, a danger of 1, a yield of 2, a disposition of benign and an uncommonness of 0.

Add to the list in “Creatures”

*Randomly determine its disposition

Add to the end of “Creatures”

If a Creature’s Danger is lowered by half of it’s original amount, to a minimum of 1, it’s disposition is set to angry.

Before the “Encounter” rule in “Hunts” add

Each weekday the Narrator rolls a DICEX for each angry Creature that is in the area and not already engaged in an encounter, where X is that creature’s speed. On a result greater than 4 that Creature forces an encounter and the Narrator makes a blogpost super-titled “Hunt”. For that encounter each Sailor, including ones which unidle or have just joined blognomic in the middle of the hunt, other than the Narrator are considered to have joined that hunt.

Replace “A Weakened Sailor can only perform Dynastic Actions as a Weekly Action.” with:-

A Weakened Sailor is unfit for duty and may not perform Job Actions, Encounter Actions or Gam Actions. Any Sailor may set a Weakened Sailor’s Position to Deckhand, at any time (unless that Weakened Sailor is a Prisoner).

Add the following Goal to the list of Goals:

Religious (1 Worth): Have no Dire Goals at the End of the Story.

Amend:

A Driven Sailor may send a private message to the Narrator requesting that one or more of their own Goals be removed and replaced by a specific Goal which is Novel to them (also specifying any choices of Target for it) and which has the same Worth as the total Worth of the removed Goals.

to:

A Driven Sailor may send a private message to the Narrator requesting that one or more of their own Goals be removed and replaced by a specific Goal which is Novel to them (also specifying any choices of Target for it) and which has the same Worth as the total Worth of the removed Goals.

Add the following Goal to the list of Goals:

Religious (1 Worth): Have no Dire Goals at the End of the Story.

In “The Passenger’s Log”, replace “For the first Log of each week,” with:-

For each Log,

Remove “Some of the information contained in a Log is:” and its bulleted list.

Add to the end of the sub rule “Encounter”:

When a Creature is defeated its death occurs, a number of Empty Barrels equal to the creature’s yield are changed into Barrels of Oil, and the ship’s Cleanliness is reduced by the the yeild of the creature * 10.

Add to the rule “Positions”:

The Sailor holding the Position of Captain may specify a Sailor or no Sailor to be “The Expert” by making a blog post announcing that he is doing so. By default, the Expert is no Sailor.

At any time a sailor who is The Expert may specify in a private message to the narrator a creature with an uncommonness of between 0 and 10, or no creature, as their Quarry. Sailor’s Quarries are tracked privately by the Narrator, and default to creatures with uncommonness 0. A sailor may request the Narrator to inform them of their current quarry via PM and shall receive an accurate answer via PM

In “The Passenger’s Log” change:

a creature with a uncommonness of 2DICE10-10 shall be in the area

to:

a creature with a uncommonness of 2DICE10-10 + (the Expert’s Lore) shall be in the area. If the uncommonness of the creature would be over 10, the Expert’s quarry shall be in the area instead.

“I was awoken by a clattering of chain across the boards above my cabin, building up to a great crash and a shout of pain from someone on deck. I was to learn later that the anchor’s chain had snapped and rushed like a cobra across the decking, sweeping the legs from under the deckhand they called Axemabaro, and inflicting a great injury. Perhaps the loss of its anchor meant, at least, that the Haniver would now sail on.”

The Haniver is travelling at a speed of 0 knots and facing west. No landmarks or ships are in sight. The Blacksmith could have prevented this accident.

Diabecko idles out after 7 days of inactivity. Quorum remains 7.

List a new Goal in the list of Goals as per the following:

Religious (1 Worth): Have no Dire Goals at the End of the Story.

Create a new rule called “Epilogue” with the following:

40 Days (960 Hours) after the Dynasty has started, the Story Ends at that instant. When the Story Ends, each Sailor gains an amount of Worth for each of their fulfilled Goals, equal to the amount of Worth that the held Goal has associated. Worth is privately tracked by the Narrator and starts at 0.

Once the Story has Ended, the Narrator should post the Epilogue in a timely fashion. The Epilogue should contain a listing of each Sailor, their Goals and their Worth.

If there is a sole Sailor with the most Worth when the Story Ends, that Sailor has achieved victory.
If there are multiple Sailors who are tied for the most Worth when the Story Ends, and among those Sailors, there is a Sailor whose sum of Stats is greater than any other Sailor of that group, then that Sailor has achieved victory.

Amend:

A Driven Sailor may send a private message to the Narrator requesting that one or more of their own Goals be removed and replaced by a specific Goal which is Novel to them (also specifying any choices of Target for it) and which has the same Worth as the total Worth of the removed Goals.

To the list of Events in “The Passenger’s Log”, add:-

• Man Overboard: A random Aimless Sailor (if any exist) has their Illness set to 10.

Amend:

For the purpose of Goals, the last legal value/s that an entity had (even if that entity is no longer part of the game) is the one that counts.

For the purpose of Goals, the entity’s latest legal value/s during this dynasty (even if that entity is no longer part of the game) is the one that counts.

Amend:

If a Sailor has no Goals, they may send a private message to the Narrator listing any number of Goals from the list above (including multiples of the same Goal so long as they all have Targets, and those Targets are different) and specifying any choices of Target. If the total Worth of those Goals is no higher than 10, the Narrator may then set that Sailor’s Goals to those specified.

If a Sailor has not yet sent such a private message and they are not Religious, they can become Religious via privately informing this to the Narrator and sending a list which states a set of non-Dire Goals which don’t add to a Worth higher than 9, to the Narrator in private. The Narrator shall then set their Goals to be those Goals stated, plus the following Goal:

- Pure of Heart (2 Worth): Be Religious.at the end of the Story.

Then, if a Quorum of EVC to this proposal have the string “IT’S PUBLIC” in them, amend the following:

become Religious via privately informing this to the Narrator and

to:

become Religious via making a blog post for this purpose and

In “Gamestate Tracking”, replace “An official post may be altered by its author if it is less than six hours old” with:-

If the most recent Passenger's Log announces the presence of another ship, A sailor make take one Valid Gam Action during the Gam event by making a comment on that Passenger's Log containing the string "I <X> during the Gam", where <X> is the name of a valid Gam Action.

Valid Gam Actions Are:

*Trade Posessions: A Sailor who performs this action increases their Gold by 1
*Talk about the Trade: A Sailor who performs this action increases their Lore by 1
*Gossip: If a Sailor gossips during a Gam, the Narrator shall randomly select a sailor other than the sailor who gossiped, randomly select a goal of the sailor selected, and inform the Sailor who gossiped of the Sailor and Goal selected via Private Message.

Another whaling vessel is nearby

Another whaling vessel is nearby until the next Log

Gold: Defaults to 0
Lore: Defaults to 0

These are tracked in the GNDT as “A/B/C” in the stat Column, where A is their Health Points, B their Hunger and C their illness.

These are tracked in the GNDT as “A/B/C/D/E” in the stat Column, where A is their Health Points, B their Hunger, C their illness, D their gold, and E their lore

Add to the rule “Positions”:

At any time, aSailor holding the position of Cook, Carpenter, or Blacksmith may set a sailor or no sailor as their Target by informing the narrator of this via a private message. A sailor’s Target defaults to no sailor.Sailor’s targets are tracked privately by the Narrator. A Sailor may request the Narrator to inform them of their current target via PM and shall receive an accurate answer via PM

In “The Passenger’s Log” Change:

If the chosen position is not free, no accident occurs.

To:

If the chosen position is not free, the target of the sailor who holds the chosen position has an accident.

Change:

When a Sailor has an accident, they lose 1 Health Point (to a minimum of zero).

To

When a sailor has an accident, they loose DICE3 Health Points (to a minimum of zero).

After “and what position would have prevented it.” Add:

If the chosen position to prevent the accident is “none”, the narrator shall lie and randomly select from cook, carpenter, and blacksmith, and say that position could have prevented the accident.

“Waking on the third day of our voyage for a moment I thought myself back home in Anchorage, so quiet and still was the water. I rose and climbed up to the deck, and saw nothing but the ocean spread out clear and blue in every direction.”

The Haniver is travelling at zero knots, and facing west. There are no landmarks or ships in sight.

to

For the purpose of Goals, the entity’s latest legal value/s during this dynasty (even if that entity is no longer part of the game) is the one that counts.

Amend:

If a Sailor has no Goals, they may send a private message to the Narrator listing any number of Goals from the list above (including multiples of the same Goal so long as they all have Targets, and those Targets are different) and specifying any choices of Target. If the total Worth of those Goals is no higher than 10, the Narrator may then set that Sailor’s Goals to those specified.

to

If a Sailor has no Goals, they may send a private message to the Narrator listing any number of Goals from the list above (including multiples of the same Goal so long as they all have Targets, and those Targets are different) and specifying any choices of Target. If the total Worth of those Goals is no higher than 10, the Narrator may then set that Sailor’s Goals to those specified.

If a Sailor has not yet sent such a private message nor are Religious, they may declare that they are Religious along a total Worth of goals no higher than 9 via a private message to the Narrator which clearly states this. The Narrator may then set that Sailor’s Goals to those specified plus the Religious Goals, and make that Sailor Religious.

The Religious Goals are two Non-Dire Goals which the Narrator shall and can secretly randomly choose (first randomly determining the Goals and then the Targets for each of those Goals, if they have any). Religious Goals can target the holder of the Goal, other provisions notwithstanding. A Religious Sailor isn’t informed of what their Religious Goals are (aside that they’re non-Dire).

To “Goals”, add directly below the bulleted list:-

A Sailor with one or more Goals is Driven; a Sailor with no Goals is Aimless.

Replace “a randomly chosen sailor will have an accident” with:

a randomly chosen Aimless sailor (if any exist) will have an accident

Then add to the end of the rule:-

When a new Goal bullet point is added to the list this rule, that Goal is considered Novel to all Sailors who were already Driven at the time of its addition. A Driven Sailor may send a private message to the Narrator requesting that one or more of their own Goals be removed and replaced by a specific Goal which is Novel to them (also specifying any choices of Target for it) and which has the same Worth as the total Worth of the removed Goals. Upon such a replacement being made, all Goals cease to be Novel to that Sailor.

Then replace “If a Sailor has no Goals, they” with “An Aimless Sailor”.

To “The Passenger’s Log”, add:-

All randomly chosen results in this rule may be made by the Narrator using a private method of his choosing, instead of the GNDT.

Move “Encounter” to be a subrule of “Hunts”, if both rules exist.

Replace “Once per Log the Narrator Posts” with “If nobody has done so since the most recent Passenger’s Log”.

Remove “An Encounter is when the sailors have successfully arrived to their target Creature and are ready to take it down.”

Remove the paragraph beginning “In the next Log the Narrator Posts”.

To “The Passenger’s Log”, if “Lower the Boats” enacted, add:-

If a Hunt has been declared since the previous Log, and if any Creatures are in the vicinity of the Haniver, then the Narrator announces these Creatures in the Log and an Encounter begins, with only the Sailors who joined the Hunt being at it.

Repeal “Whalespotting”. In the “Uncommon Creature” bullet point, replace “The narrator shall not disclose which event was rolled for the week.” with:-

The narrator shall not disclose which event was rolled for the week, but shall privately roll a ten-sided die for each Lookout, and for each roll which is less than the Vision Threshold, privately message that Sailor to inform them they may have spotted a Creature. (The Vision Threshold is 8 if a Creature is in the area, and 3 otherwise.)

Replace “The Sailors (the “Hunt”) who are at the Encounter” with “The Sailors who are at the Encounter”. Replace “a randomly chosen Harpooneer (by the Narrator) at the Encounter” with “a Sailor at the Encounter (randomly chosen by the Narrator)”. To the “Attack” bullet point, add:-

This action can only be performed by a Harpooneer.

Replace “Sailors at the Hunt of an Encounter can perform an Encounter Action” with:-

Sailors at an Encounter can perform an Encounter Action by making a comment to that effect on the Passenger’s Log post that announced the Encounter

Create a rule called “Encounter” with the following:

An Encounter is when the sailors have successfully arrived to their target Creature and are ready to take it down.

The Sailors (the “Hunt”) who are at the Encounter have a common pool of Maneuver Energy and Power Energy for that Encounter, which both start equal to that Hunt’s Maneuver and Power respectively. Per Sailor at the Hunt that is holding a Harpoon, they start with an extra 1 Power Energy.

Sailors at the Hunt of an Encounter can perform an Encounter Action, but only during their Turn. Each Sailor can only have one Turn per Encounter, and a randomly chosen Harpooner (by the Narrator) at the Encounter is the one who decides what the order for these Turns shall be (and they can and shall do this). The following actions are Encounter Actions, and their cost:
- Flanking [1 Maneuver Energy]: The boat gets around the Creature, putting it in a more vulnerable position. Lower its Speed by 1.
- Recover a Harpoon [3 Maneuver Energy]: Gain 1 Power Energy. This action can only be performed once per Attack action that has been performed this Encounter.
- Attack [1 Power Energy]: You use the Harpoons to spear the Creature. Roll a DICE5: if you roll a number higher than the Creature’s Speed, you lower its Danger by 1.
- Waste Time [1 Maneuver Energy]:
- Distract Hunt [1 Power Energy]:
- Skip Turn [0 Maneuver Energy]:
- Flee [X Maneuver Energy, where X is the Creature’s Speed]: The Encounter Ends.

If during an Encounter, the Creature’s Danger is lowered to 0 or lower, the Creature is Defeated and the Encounter ends.
If all available turns for the Hunt has been used up, but the Danger of the Encounter’s Creature is above 0, then the Hunt is Defeated: they each lose Health equal to the Creature’s Danger. If this would attempt to set it to a value below 0, it sets it to 0 instead. Immediately after those losses of Health, the Encounter ends.

Once per Log the Narrator Posts, A Sailor holding the Position of Captain or of Chief, Second, or Third mate may declare a "Hunt" by making a blogpost whose first words are "Lower the Boats". Each Sailor may join in the hunt by declaring "I join the hunt" as part of a comment on the Blogpost that first declared the hunt, and increasing their hunger by 1.

The maneuver of a Hunt is equal to the number of Sailors that join it divided by 3 and rounded down.
The power of a Hunt is equal to the number of Sailors holding the Position of Harpooner that join it.

In the next Log the Narrator Posts, the hunt shall be resolved. The Narrator shall reveal in the Log Post how many whales where in the vicinity of the Haniver at the time of the hunt and if an uncommon creature was in the area, as well as the stats of any uncommon creature in the area.

“Hours passed as the Haniver was loaded, and I remained vigilant that my sea chest would not be lost beneath the stacks of empty barrels and crates of citrus fruit as they were piled into the hold. The sun faded as it swung in the sky, and by noon the port and the top of our mast were all lost to a thick and blanketing fog. The captain, arriving late, disappeared into his cabin.”

The Haniver is travelling at 0 knots, and facing west. No landmarks or ships are in sight.

Create a new Rule named “Creatures”:

A Creature has a name, a speed, a danger, a yield, and an uncommonness. The name is a text string.

Whales are creatures with a name of “Whale”, a speed of 3, a danger of 1, a yield of 2, and an uncommonness of 0.

If an uncommon creature has no name, the narrator shall:
Set its speed to 3 + (its uncommonness modulo 3)
Set its danger to 1 + (its uncommonness /3, rounded down)
Set its yield to 2 if its uncommonness is odd, 3 if its uncommonness is even
Assign it a name as he sees fit

Create the following sub-rule “Goal Checking” to the rule “Goals”:

For the purpose of Goals, the last legal value/s that an entity had (even if that entity is no longer part of the game) is the one that counts.

For example, if John Doe was Alive immediately before Idling and never unidles after that, after that Idling and at the End of the Story, the Goal “Protect a Friend, Target: John Doe” would still be fulfilled.

Amend the following:

Health Points: Defaults to 3.

to

Health Points: Defaults to 3. When a Sailor’s Health Points is 0, they are Dead. Otherwise, they are Alive. A Dead Sailor cannot perform any Dynastic Action except for Clinging to Life as a Daily Action. When a Dead Sailor Clings to Life, they roll a DICE10. If they roll a 1, they gain 1 Health Point.

Amend the following:

Structural Integrity: Defaults to 100.

to

Structural Integrity: Defaults to 100. If the Structural Integrity is above 0, the Haniver is Afloat. Otherwise, it is Sunk. A Sunk Haniver cannot have its Structural Integrity rise above 0.

Add a new rule called “Hashes” to the end of the dynastic ruleset with the following text:

A string of 32 hexademical characters is known as a Hash. The Hash of a piece of text is the MD5 Hash generated for it at http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php.

Change the rule “Mutiny” to the following:

At any time, if there is a Captain, a Sailor that is not the Captain or a Prisoner may attempt a Mutiny by creating a story post to that effect. A Sailor may respond to the mutiny (if they have not already done so) by commenting with a single Hash. This comment is known as a Choice of Side.
After the 48 hours have passed, and no more than 24 hours after it passing, a Sailor may Sign a Choice of Side he or she has made by posting a follow-up comment on the same Mutiny which specifies a piece of text whose Hash is the same as the Hash in their Choice of Side. Upon doing so: if that piece of text contains the word “overthrow” (with any capitalisation) then the Sailor who wrote the Choice of Side has Supported that Mutiny, otherwise they have Opposed it. The captain always Opposes the Mutiny and can not make a Choice of Side. The Narrator can not make a Choice of Side.
After those 24 hours have also passed, so 72 hours after the original post, any admin may resolve the mutiny by making the necessary changes in the GNDT.
If, at resolution, a quorom of Sailors Supported the Mutiny, the mutiny has succeeded. The Captain becomes a Prisoner, and the chief mate, second mate and third mate become a Prisoner if they did not Support the mutiny.
Otherwise, every sailor who Supported the mutiny becomes a Prisoner, and the chief mate, second mate and third mate become a Prisoner if they did not Oppose the mutiny.
In both cases, any Sailor who made a Choice of Side but did not sign it within the time limit becomes a prisoner. This is known as the “Lily-livered Clause”.

If the proposal “Confessions” enacted, this proposal has no further effect.

To the “Avenge Nature”, “Die”, “Abandon Ship” and “Avenge an Enemy” Goals, add “This is a Dire Goal.”

Add a paragraph to Goals:-

If a Sailor has any Dire Goals, they should lie about their Goals when discussing them with other Sailors, and deny having any Dire ones.

Add to “Goals” the following subrule called “Bonds” with:

A Sailor can Confess to another Sailor by sending a private message to the Narrator which clearly states that:
- They are Confessing
- The Sailor they are targetting
- One or more of their own Goals.
The Narrator shall then privately inform to this target these Goals which were stated for them and who sent them.

If “No Wikipages” enacted, rename the rule “The Haniver” to “The Passenger’s Log”.

Then if “Breaking the Monotony” enacted, repeal the rule “Events” and move the text that was in it to the end of “The Passenger’s Log” (or into a new rule with that name if no such rule exists). Then, replace “Weekly, On Thursdays,” with:-

For the first Log of each week

And replace “until the next thursday” with “until the end of the current week”.

Before “If no sailor has an accident, the narrator shall not disclose which event was rolled for the week.”, and if “Pose is Shins” enacted, add:-

When a Sailor has an accident, they lose 1 Health Point (to a minimum of zero).

Amend

If a Sailor has no Goals, they may send a private message to the Narrator listing any number of Goals from the list above (including multiples of the same Goal so long as they all have Targets, and those Targets are different) and specifying any choices of Target. If the total Worth of those Goals is no higher than 10, the Narrator may then set that Sailor’s Goals to those specified.

Each sailor has a Nostalgia, tracked in the GNDT. This Nostalgia is a whole number between 0 and 10.
Each sailor has a Rank, tracked in the GNDT. This Rank is a whole number between 0 and 4.
Each Sailor holds a Position on the whaling ship Haniver, tracked in the GNDT and taken from the following list, defaulting to Deckhand (which may be tracked as “-”).

Captain (4)
Chief Mate (3)
Second Mate (3)
Third Mate (3)
Cook (2)
Blacksmith (2)
Carpenter (2)
Steward (2)
Harpooneer (1)
Lookout (0)
Deckhand (0)

Passenger (0)

Each Position has a minimum rank associated with it, written in paretheses after it in the list of valid positions. A sailor may not hold a position with a minimum rank greater than their rank.

Only the Narrator may hold the Position of Passenger.
A position with a rank of 2 or higher is considered "Exclusive".
A Position is considered Free if it is held by no Sailor and it is not considered Exclusive. The Captain's Position is never considered free.
A Sailor may assign themselves a Free Position they can hold at any time.
The Captain may change any Sailor’s Position at any time to a free position the sailor can hold.
As a Weekly Action, any sailor may raise the rank of any sailor with a rank less than his by 1.
A Sailor may not voluntarily become a Prisoner. The captain may assign Prisoners as normal. A Prisoner may not voluntarily change their position

The Narrator shall create a Blog Post named "Bidding for Rank". Each Sailor can make Valid Position Bids by making comments on this post within 72 hours of its creation of the form: "I BID [X] FOR [Y]", where [X] is replaced by an integer, and [Y] is a Position a sailor can hold. Only the most recent Valid Position Bid by a sailor is considered a Valid Position Bid. After no more Valid Position Bids can be created, each Exclusive Position shall be awarded to the Sailor whose most recent Valid Position Bid has a higher [X] value than all other, if it exists.. The Sailor's Rank shall set to the minimum rank of the Position awarded, and the Sailor's Nostalgia shall be set to the [X] value named in their Valid Position Bid.

A sailor who has participated in this dynasty for less than 48 hours, may set his rank to that of any other sailor, and his Nostalgia to 1 higher than the Nostalgia of the other sailor.
A sailor who was not awarded an Position considered Exclusive, may within 48 hours of the Exclusive Positions being awarded set his rank to that of any other sailor, and his Nostalgia to 1 higher than the Nostalgia of the other sailor.

replacing {time} with the date and time this proposal was enacted.

For each player, if their EVC on this proposal names exactly one Position other than Captain, set that player’s Position to the one so named.

If “Here’s The Ship” has passed and the Narrator has voted FOR this proposal, amend the rule “The Haniver” to

The Narrator will periodically make blogposts that update various information about The Haniver called a Log. These posts will have a super-title of “Passenger’s Log: ” and are posted every KEVANDAY. This schedule of Log posts do not come into effect until the Narrator posts the first Log, which he can post at any time he wishes, at which point this sentence may be removed from the ruleset by any Sailor.

Some of the information contained in a Log is:
*Knots: the speed that the Haniver is traveling. Represented by an integer and defaulting to 0.
*Any landmarks or ships in sight other than the Haniver.
*The direction that the Haniver’s bow is facing, notated with the abbreviations of the compass rose, defaulting to West.

Replace KEVANDAY with the last comment that the Narrator left on this proposal which contains the text “KEVANDAYS ARE X” where X is a list of days of the week, or any of the following words: “day”, “weekday”, “weekend”, “week”.

If “Aye, Tim” has passed change “it has is tracked at its wikipage.” to

it has is tracked at the Narrator’s Item column in the GNDT.

Change “Die (1 worth) Be dead at the end of the Story.” to

Die (1 worth) Be dead at the end of the Story.  This Goal cannot be used with Survive.

Change “Avenge an Enemy (1 worth) Targetting a single Sailor other than themselves: Have that Sailor be dead at the end of the Story.” to

Avenge an Enemy (1 worth) Targetting a single Sailor other than themselves: Have that Sailor be dead at the end of the Story.  This goal cannot be used if you are targeting the same person with “Protect a Friend”.

Make Cpt_Koen’s Position Captain, if they have voted FOR this proposal.

Add to “Positions” the following:

Each Sailor has Stats, which are non-negative integers which are 10 by default unless otherwise stated and tracked in a GNDT column called “Stats”. The Narrator’s Stats represents the Haniver’s Stats instead of their own.

The following are the stats that Sailors have:
- Health Points: Defaults to 3.
- Hunger: Defaults to 0.
- Illness: Defaults to 0.
These are tracked in the GNDT as “A/B/C” in the stat Column, where A is their Health Points, B their Hunger and C their illness.

A Sailor with Health Points equal to zero, or Hunger higher or equal to 10, or Illness higher or equal to 10, is Weakened. A Weakened Sailor can only perform Dynastic Actions as a Weekly Action.

The following are the stats of the Haniver:
- Structural Integrity: Defaults to 100.
- Weight: Defaults to 100
- Cleanliness: Defaults to 100
These are tracked in the GNDT as “[A/B/C]” in the stat Column, where A is its Structural Integrity, B is its Weight and C its Cleanliness.

Sailors can perform a Job Action as a weekly action. The following are Job Actions, and the Position that can perform them:

- Scrub the Decks [Any Position]: If the Cleanliness of the Haniver is below 100, increase it by up to 10, but not to above a total of 100.
- Cooking Duties [Cook]: Lower the Hunger of all Sailors by 3. If this would attempt to set it to below 3 for a certain Sailor, set it to 0 for them instead.
- Treat the ill [Steward]: Set the Illness of a Sailor which isn’t yourself, to 0.
- Do Repairs [Blacksmith or Carpenter]: If the Structural Integrity of the Haniver is below 100, increase it by up to 20, but not to above a total of 100.

Add a new position called “Prisoner”.
To the rule “Positions”, add the text: “A Sailor may not voluntarily become a Prisoner. The captain may assign Prisoners as normal. A Prisoner may not voluntarily change their position.”
Create a rule called “Mutiny” with the following text:

At any time, if there is a Captain, a Sailor that is not the Captain or a Prisoner may attempt a Mutiny by creating a story post to that effect. Other sailors can vote on that post, and 48 hours after the post is made, and admin may resolve the mutiny by making the necessary changes in the GNDT.
If, at resolution, a quorom of Sailors voted For the Mutiny, the mutiny has succeeded. The Captain becomes a Prisoner, and the chief mate, second mate and third mate become a Prisoner if they did not vote For the mutiny.
Otherwise, every sailor who voted For the mutiny at any point (even if they changed their vote later) becomes a Prisoner.

In the appendix change:

    A Discord channel is any channel on the BlogNomic Discord. To reference a Discord Channel, use a hash (#) followed by the name of that channel. (For example, #general.)

Create a new rule named “Events”:

Weekly, On Thursdays, the narrator should randomly determine an event in private, and follow the effects given by the determined event. Possible Events are:

*Gam: Another whaling vessel is nearby, and so the two vessels will meet. The narrator shall make a blog post announcing that another whaling vessel is in the area.
*Uncommon Creature: a creature with a uncommoness of 2DICE10-10 shall be in the area until the next thursday. If the uncommoness of the creature would be negative, no uncommon creature is in the area. The narrator shall not disclose which event was rolled for the week.
*Accident: The narrator shall randomly pick a position that can prevent the accident, between cook, carpenter, blacksmith and none. If the chosen position is not free, no accident occurs. Otherwise, a randomly chosen sailor will have an accident, and the narrator shall make a blog post declaring that the sailor had an accident, and what position would have prevented it. If no sailor has an accident, the narrator shall not disclose which event was rolled for the week.

To the list of Positions, add “Lookout”.

Replace “A Position is free if it is held by no Sailor, or if the Position is Harpooneer or Deckhand.” with “A Position is free if it is held by no Sailor, or if the Position is Harpooneer, Deckhand, or Lookout.”

Add a new rule, “Whalespotting”:

The Whalecount is the number of whales in the vicinity of the Haniver, defaulting to 0. The Whalecount is privately tracked by the Narrator.

On Monday and Thursday, the Narrator should Whalespot. Whalespotting is an atomic action consisting of:
* Privately and randomly determining a new Whalecount, equal to DICE2-1, i.e. 0 or 1.
* For each Sailor that is a Lookout:
  * Privately rolling DICE10. If it is less than the Vision Threshold, privately messaging that Sailor to inform them they may have spotted a whale. If it is not less than the Vision Threshold, privately messaging that Sailor to inform them they have not spotted a whale.

The Vision Threshold is 3 if the Whalecount is 0, or 8 if the Whalecount is 1.

Create a rule called “Items” with:

Each Sailor can hold one Item (tracked in the GNDT), and are by default holding none. The Haniver can hold an unlimited amount of items, and the items it has is tracked at its wikipage. These are the items that exist, their effects (if any) and their default amount at the Haniver:
- Harpoon: (50 at the Haniver by default)
- Orange: (100 at the Haniver by default)
- Barrel of Oil: (0 at the Haniver by default)
- Empty Barrel: (30 at the Haniver by default)

A Sailor, if they have no items, can take an item from the Haniver. A Sailor can leave an item they are holding to the Haniver.

Make a new rule “The Haniver” with the text

The wikipage [[The Haniver]] tracks the following information about the Haniver:
Knots is the speed that the Haniver is traveling. Represented by an integer and defaulting to 0.
The area surrounding the Haniver is represented by a 5x5 grid with the ship located in the center cell. Each cell represents one square nautical mile.
The direction that the Haniver’s bow is facing is tracked in the center square of the aforementioned grid, using the abbreviations of the compass rose and defaults to West.

Change “Whenever an Admin resolves a Votable Matter, they must also mark their name, and report the final tally” to

Whenever an Admin resolves a Votable Matter, they should mark their name, and are highly encouraged to report the final tally

Add a new rule, “Influence”:

Each Non-Narrator Sailor has an integer amount of Influence, tracked in the GNDT and that defaults to 1000.

The sum of all of the Influence of the Sailors is the Total Influence, or “TI”.

The following actions listed below are Social Moves and its cost (which are in brackets). A Sailor performs a Social Move as a daily action, via paying its cost. A Sailor cannot perform a Social Move if their Influence is not a positive number (with the exception of Humility).
- [30% of TI]: One-upmanship: If you’re a Deckhand, choose a Sailor which is not a Captain nor a Passenger. Swap your Position with that Sailor.
- [50% of TI]: Mutiny: If you’re a Deckhand, choose a Sailor which is a Captain. Swap your Position with that Sailor.
- [10% of TI]: Gossip: You may request the Narrator to tell you 3 Goals of another Sailor. If that Sailor has at least 2 Goals, the Narrator shall reply to this request in private with two Goals which is randomly chosen among the Goals that Survivor has, and another which is randomly chosen among the Goals that such Sailor doesn’t have. If that Sailor doesn’t have at least two Goals, the Narrator shall reply to that request with “That Sailor is known to drink a lot” instead.
- [0% of TI]: Claim they’re obnoxious: Choose a Sailor which has performed Social Moves in two consecutive days within the last week. That Sailor loses 10 Influence. You can only perform this once per pair of Social Moves this Claim is about.
- [0% of TI]: Honesty: Create a post which lists 5 of your Goals and gain 500 Influence if you have not already performed this action in the past.
- [0% of TI]: Humility: If you’re not a Deckhand and you’ve held your current Position for more than 168 hours (7 days), gain 300 Influence and set your position to Deckhand.

Enact a new rule, “Goals”:-

Each Sailor has one or more secret Goals, tracked privately by the Narrator. Each Goal has a Name, a Definition and a Worth, and may also specify a Target. Valid Goals are:-

• Avenge Nature (X worth) Targetting a number from 1 to 10: Be alive at the time of death of a creature of an uncommonness equal to this Goal’s Target - this Goal’s Worth is equal to that Target value.
• Advance (2 worth) Targetting a Position other than Deckhand: Hold that Position at the end of the Story.
• Hunt (2 worth) Have at least 10 barrels of oil aboard the Haniver at the end of the Story.
• Acquire (2 worth) Have at least 10 gold at the end of the Story.
• Survive (1 worth) Be alive at the end of the Story.
• Die (1 worth) Be dead at the end of the Story.
• Stay Afloat (1 worth) Have the Haniver afloat at the end of the Story.
• Abandon Ship (1 worth) Have the Haniver sunk at the end of the Story.
• Protect a Friend (1 worth) Targetting a single Sailor other than themselves: Have that Sailor be alive at the end of the Story.
• Avenge an Enemy (1 worth) Targetting a single Sailor other than themselves: Have that Sailor be dead at the end of the Story.

If a Sailor has no Goals, they may send a private message to the Narrator listing any number of Goals from the list above (including multiples of the same Goal so long as they all have Targets, and those Targets are different) and specifying any choices of Target. If the total Worth of those Goals is no higher than 10, the Narrator may then set that Sailor’s Goals to those specified.

Enact a new rule, “Positions”:-

Each Sailor holds a Position on the whaling ship Haniver, tracked in the GNDT and taken from the following list, defaulting to Deckhand (which may be tracked as “-”).

• Captain
• Chief Mate
• Second Mate
• Third Mate
• Cook
• Blacksmith
• Carpenter
• Steward
• Harpooneer
• Deckhand
• Passenger

A Sailor may assign themselves a free Position other than Captain, at any time. (A Position is free if it is held by no Sailor, or if the Position is Harpooneer or Deckhand.)

The Captain may change any Sailor’s Position at any time.

Only the Narrator may hold the Position of Passenger.

If a blog entry exists which is less than 48 hours old and which features comments from the Chief, Second and Third Mate all including the phrase “I serve X”, where X is the name of the same Sailor, then any Sailor may make the named Sailor the Captain. (If there is an existing Captain when this happens, that Captain becomes a Deckhand.)

Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having a full purse following a modest and unexpected victory at the card table, the notion finally arrived in my tired head to leave this island. As it was the fledgling city of Auld Anchorage had set down only the beginnings of its wharves and factories at that time, clustered like barnacles across the island’s great sloping rocks. The few ships in its bay were cast up like driftwood, having arrived with the island’s settlers and remaining in no great hurry to raise their sails, if they had sails to raise. I had crewed one of those first ships, a terrible ship, now foundered and wrecked somewhere far from the shore and from the sun, and washing ashore I set up home on this island, vowing never to return to the broader waters of the world.

But the winds of that world were changing, and this great creaking galleon of the city was tacking with them, and I knew that it would not always hold a bunk for me. While I had sworn I would never take back up the spike or the harpoon, providence had that night given me the means to leave Auld Anchorage as a passenger, that I might buy my route to a home somewhere else in the discordant fleet of islands that formed this golden archipelago. Walking in the drowsy morning light from Fluke Hill down through Killick, I arrived at the harbour. Discounting the trading ships who could not be persuaded to slow their journeys, and passing the rotten hulks abandoned to the gulls, I stopped at a pier crowded with crates and provisions and a crew just shy of a dozen. Their stocky dark-wooded ship was the Haniver, and from the great barbs stacked along the gunwale, I knew that this ship more than any other would be easily led.

Replace the term “King” with “Narrator”, and “Pawn” with “Sailor”.

Whenever an Admin resolves a Votable Matter, they must also mark their name, and report the final tally of Votes (or the fact that it was self-killed or vetoed). Comments cannot be made on Enacted or Failed Votable Matters.

“The Mock Turtle’s Song” has not enacted because whoever has attempted to hasn’t marked their name on it. Some Admin, please enact it. Thank you.

Per the rule The Election, “the Candidate who is supported by the most valid ballots and has cast a valid ballot has achieved victory”. I was that Candidate.

Change the text of rule “The Election” to:

A ballot is a comment on The Ballot Box, containing the string “I support X”, replacing X with the name of a Candidate other than the Pawn who posted the comment, before 0:01 on May 5, 2018 (“Closing Time”). The Pawn who posted that comment is said to have cast that ballot.

A ballot may be valid or invalid, defaulting to valid.
- At any time, at most one of the ballots casted by a single Pawn may be valid. If a Pawn has cast more than one ballot, all but the last ballot casted by that Pawn are invalid.
- A ballot supporting more than one Candidate is invalid.

At Closing Time, all ballots supporting Candidates who have not cast a valid ballot become invalid.

Then, the Candidate who is supported by the most valid ballots achieves victory. In case of a tie, any Pawn may resolve the tie by selecting one of the tying Candidates randomly with the GNDT. The tiebreaking Candidate selected in this manner achieves victory. A tie may be resolved at most once.

Candidates are the Pawns named:

Cuddlebeam
Kevan
pokes
Thunder
Cpt_Koen

In “The Election”, replace “of the form” with “that contains the text string”.

There are 11 Pawns. Quorum remains 6. (I choose to be Native.)

Hey, This is Derrick. Given that I unidled myself and that a recent proposal wants more visibility on admin unidles, I’m publicly declaring that I did so.

There are 10 pawns, and quorum is 6.

In “Nativity”, replace “Before taking any Dynastic Action and if they’re still Unknown, Pawns can and must choose” with:

If they’re Unknown, Pawns can choose

Yes, I want to be a Pawn.  Hello everyone!  I’m pretty nervous to join but hopefully this goes well.

Change “At Closing Time, the Candidate who has received the most valid ballots has achieved victory. If there is a tie for the most valid ballots, and if this resolution has not already been done, any Pawn may note which Candidates are tied and resolve the tie randomly with the GNDT.” to

At Closing Time, the Candidate who has received the most valid ballots and has cast a valid ballot has achieved victory. If there is a tie for the most valid ballots and those Candidates have cast a valid ballot, and if this resolution has not already been done, any Pawn may note which Candidates are tied and resolve the tie between the noted Candidates randomly with the GNDT.

Posting what your dynasty is themed after would be good to get ballots.

Admins who are unidling themselves should, in their first vote following each unidling, highlight their changed idle status and any changes to quorum to have come about as a result of it.

Amend

Idle Admins may Unidle themselves at any time

Idle Admins may Unidle themselves at any time by making a comment on a blog post on the blog’s front page which highlights their changed idle status and any changes to quorum to have come about as a result of it

In “The Election”, replace “vote for” with “support”, “valid Vote from the comment’s poster for X” with “valid ballot from the comment’s poster supporting X” and then replace “vote” with “ballot”.

Then replace “has received the most valid ballots” with “is supported by the most valid ballots”.

Replace “The selection of this random pick achieves victory.” with “The tiebreaking Candidate selected in this manner achieves victory.”
