Proposal: People to Hire Fixed

vetoed by card, new dynasty

Adminned at 01 Aug 2018 22:21:02 UTC

In “duplicating”, change

The Magic Words are Ghostly, Haunted, Phantom and Spectral.

to

The Magic Words are Ghostly, Haunted, Phantom, Spectral, and Artificial. The magic word Artificial can only be created by cards with the word “Master” in the title.

In addition to this, also create the following cards:

Robin Hood (1) [person] No Constraint. > Subtract 3 thaum from the wizard who has the most thaum. Give 3 thaum to the wizard which has the least thaum. (If there are ties among either condition, you may select any wizard satisfying the condition)/ Nothing happens.
Kidnapper (1) [person] No Constraint. > Set another wizard’s home to a different community./ Nothing happens.
Potion Master (2) [person] There must be at least one potion in the deck that is not in any player’s hand. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a potion of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one potion, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Artificial”.
Spell Master (2) [person] There must be at least one spell in the deck that is not in any player’s hand. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a spell of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one spell, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Artificial”.
Structure Master (2) [person] There must be at least one structure in the deck that is not in any player’s hand. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a structure of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one structure, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Artificial”.
Person Master (2) [person] There must be at least one person in the deck that is not in any player’s hand, and also you cannot use any of these effects on any card with the word “Master” or “Artificial” in it. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a person of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one person, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Artificial”

 

Front Runners

As a perused the book, communities came and went. some boosted by wizards, some laid low.

I believe the legacy count (without infamy! infamy!) passing is currently:

Card: 31 (Far island, Native Tribe, Swamp)
Kevan: 31 (Far island, Native Tribe, Swamp, hidden secret keepers )
Trigon: 30 (Native tribe, Swamp) (Red plains, far island)
Brendan: 25 (Far island, Swamp) (native tribe)
9spaceking: 13 (swamp)
Jumble: 13 (red plains, far island, hidden secret keepers)
Coronoa: 3 ()(red Plains)

We have 3 ruins, 2 towns, and 3 cities

Add the following cards to the ruleset:

Robin Hood (1) [person] No Constraint. > Subtract 3 thaum from a player with more thaum than you./ Subtract 1 thaum from a player, then give 1 thaum to another player with less thaum.
Transporter (1) [person] No Constraint. > Set another wizard’s home to a different community./ Nothing happens.
Potion Master (2) [person] There must be at least one potion in the deck that is not in any player’s hand. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a potion of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one potion, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Master’s”.
Spell Master (2) [person] There must be at least one spell in the deck that is not in any player’s hand. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a spell of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one spell, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Master’s”.
Structure Master (2) [person] There must be at least one structure in the deck that is not in any player’s hand. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a structure of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one structure, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Master’s”.
Person Master (2) [person] There must be at least one person in the deck that is not in any player’s hand, and also you cannot use any of these effects on any card with the word “Master” or “Master’s” in it. > Spend 1 thaum, draw a person of your choice in the deck that no one has in their hand./ For exactly one person, you can duplicate it with the magical word “Master’s”.

Proposal: Philosophers and Engineers

vetoed by card, new dynasty

Adminned at 01 Aug 2018 22:20:27 UTC

Add the following cards:

#Barban Engineer (1) [Person] No Constraint > Duplicate an attached structure and place the duplicate in your hand / Duplicate an attached structure
#Grassfolk Trapper (1) [Person] No Constraint > Duplicate an attached monster and place the duplicate in your hand / Duplicate an attached monster
#Mudfolk Apprentice (1) [Person] No Constraint > Duplicate a person in a wizard’s hand and place the duplicate in your hand / Duplicate a person in a wizard’s hand
#Redlander Alchemist (1) [Person] No Constraint > Duplicate a spell, ritual or potion in a wizard’s hand and place the duplicate in your hand / duplicate a spell, ritual, or potion in a wizard’s hand

#Mudfolk Missionary (2) [Person] No Constraint > change the faction of a community to Mudfolk / change the faction of a village to mudfolk
#Redlander Revolutionary (2) [Person] No Constraint > change the faction of a community to Redlander / change the faction of a village to Redlander
#Grassfolk Sage (2) [Person] No Constraint > change the faction of a community to Grassfolk / change the faction of a village to Grassfolk
#Barban Conqueror (2) [Person] No Constraint > change the faction of a community to Barban / change the faction of a village to Barban

Some duplication cards, and some faction change cards.

I’ve noticed that changing factions has never happened, and while it should be rare, it shouldn’t be non-existent, and there should be more than one community for each faction (or less, if you feel you have an advantage with one faction or another).

The duplication cards are probably pretty strong, but you have to draw one, you have to pay for the card again when you play it, and the card will have already entered gameplay, so they should be more balancing, not less. Also, once a card is all duplicated out, it cannot be duplicated again.

Proposal: Refinements

vetoed by card, new dynasty

Adminned at 01 Aug 2018 22:20:10 UTC

Change the down effect of Mudling princess from:

move an attached person from one community to a mudling community

To:

move one attached monster from any community to a mudling community

Change the name of “Redland Settlers” to “Redlander Settlers”

Change the up effect of “Ice Elemental” from:

For each tamer, exactly one monster will have no effect on the community

To:

unattach a random monster other than this card from this card’s community

Change the down effect of “Ice Elemental” from:

Other Monsters will have no effect so long as this person is attached to the community.

To

Other Monsters attached to this monster’s community do not apply their effects during dealing, and their effects are not considered rules-text

change the up effect of “Fire Elemental” from:

unattach a monster from a community

to:

unattach a random monster other than this card from this card’s community

 

This is correcting mistakes. I particularly deplore the nerfed state of the mudling princess, which is one of my favorite cards.

Proposal: Musical Thrones

Adminned at 01 Aug 2018 22:19:18 UTC

If any Capital cards are attached to Settlements, apply the Up effects of all which are in the Up state (in a random order) then unattach all of them.

Rename “Redlander King” to “Redlander Farmer”.

Rename “Barban Capital” to “Barban King”, “Redlander Capital” to “Redlander Emperor”, “Mudling Capital” to “Mudling Queen” and “Grassfolk Capital” to “Grassfolk Empress”.

Change those last four cards from “Structure” to “Person”.

Capital Throne-moving effects won’t quite work when we have multiple Capitals in play. (Or, at best, the player who takes the Draw action will get to pick the unspecified order for “perform the effect of each attached card”, leaving the Throne in a Capital of their choice.) This proposal makes the Throne moves into one-off Person effects.

(The fact that Capital Downs are “increase a rating of a [faction] community [of your choice] by 1” suggests these weren’t actually intended to be Structures in the first place.)

In “Legacy”, replace “A wizard’s legacy is equal to their glory plus half of their infamy” with:-

A wizard’s legacy is equal to their glory minus half of their infamy.

Plus to minus. It looks like at least two of us misread the scoring as the more obvious “infamy is bad”.

Adminned at 31 Jul 2018 11:54:36 UTC

Add to the list of Cards:

#Cauldron (1) [Object] No Constraint > discard a potion and gain 4 thaum / As an atomic action, play as many potions as you wish from your hand without paying their Thaum cost
# Mudfolk Thief (1) [Person] No Constraint > Remove an Object from another wizard’s hand and place it in your own / increase or decrease the economy of your home by 1
# Barban Taxcollector(1) [Person] No constraint > decrease the thaum of each wizards by 1 for each object in their hand/ increase the economy of a community by 1
# Redlander Mason (1) [Person] No constraint > duplicate an object in the hand of a wizard with the same home as you and place the duplicate in your hand/ increase the economy of your home by 1
# Grassfolk Witch (1) [Person] No constraint> place a ritual from the deck into your hand / place a potion from the deck into your hand

I thought that potions needed more love, and that objects were a little too permanent. And so I present these cards.

Add to the list of token cards:

The Throne (0) [Structure] No Constraint > This card’s community is considered to have a size of 3 larger than it normally would / This card’s community is considered a city, regardless of its size.

Change the constraint of every faction card with “Capital” in its name to:

No Constraint

Change the up effect of every faction card with “Capital” in its name to:

unattach the token card “The Throne” and all its duplicates from all communities. Attach “The Throne” to a X community in either an up or a down state.

where X is the faction of the faction card

Change the down effect of every faction card with “Capital” in its name to:

increase a rating of a X community by 1

Where X is the faction of the faction card

We’ve seen some resistance to the capital cards. This will make the “Capital” effect more robust, handle duplicates much better, and make the +3 bonus temporary. It should look like an end game finishing maneuver rather than a free +3.

Change the Down effect of “Arsonist” (and any duplicates of it) from “Nothing happens.” to “Remove a Structure from a Wizard’s hand.”

Change the Down effect of “Wall” (and any duplicates of it) from “Nothing happens.” to “Reduce any decreases to ratings of this community by 1.”

Change the Down effect of “Divine Intervention” (and any duplicates of it) from “Nothing happens.” to “Select a pending proposal with at least two AGAINST votes; that proposal is Vetoed.”

Change the Down effect of “Road” (and any duplicates of it) from “Nothing happens.” to “Choose two communities which satisfy this card’s condition; raise each of their Economies by 1.”, change “Road” to be a Labor and rename it to “Roadbuilding”.

If “Another Strategic Card” passed, change the Down effect of “Redo” (and any duplicates of it) from “Nothing happens.” to “Discard a card and draw a card.”

Per Corona’s comment on the previous proposal, the “nothing happens” effects can be frustrating. (Although they’re maybe worth keeping for Potions, which can be directly balanced in other ways.)

Also changing Road to be a Labor while I’m there (and renaming it for clarity) - as a Structure, it can be attached and (as written right now) the drawing player could spawn extra Road tokens from it every draw.

Missing Attachments

Reminder to Card and anyone else who’s forgotten it that step 4 of drawing is to “Perform the effect of each attached card associated with its state, if that effect is an action.” - the only relevant card at present is Stone Circle, but Card appears to have overlooked this during their past three drawings. (I’ve correctively applied its effect.)

Repeal the rule “Banned”.

Remove the “Speak Easy” card from the ruleset. If that card was in a Wizard’s hand when this proposal enacted, give that Wizard a random card from the deck.

Remove the “Drink” card from the ruleset.

Brendan questioned this during voting, and I think he’s right - saying “this is a list of cards which are X” without including any such list means that no cards are X.

But this is a lot of risky overhead for at best one minor card effect and at worst a major Card scam - by reintroducing repealed cards as being “cards” again, a card effect like The Prophecy’s “you may choose any card” will allow a player to draw a Banned card.

Noisy Neighbors

It looks like card’s enactment of “Not THAT Noisy” didn’t update the ruleset, which led to 9spaceking playing Noisy Neighbors on The Red Plains, which in turn became Hostile toward Trigon. But Hostile as an attitude still doesn’t exist. I’ve corrected the card description and made The Red Plains Suspicious of Trigon instead, in the belief that this was the intended effect; CFJ if you disagree.

Add to the rule “Cards” a subrule called “Selling” as follows:

Should two Wizards, A and B, agree via private communication that Wizard A will sell one card in their hand in exchange for an amount of Wizard B’s Thaum equal to the score of that card, then either such Wizard may post a comment (called the “purchase announcement comment”) to the GNDT. This commend declares a purchase in progress, names the other Wizard, and names the card being sold. The other Wizard may then, within 24 hours, perform this transaction (with the card moving from Wizard A’s Hand to Wizard B’s Hand and the Thaum being transferred from Wizard B to Wizard A simultaneously) and update the GNDT to reflect it.

The card must remain in Wizard A’s hand, and Wizard B must have at least the required amount of Thaum, until the purchase is performed, or it cannot take place. If the purchase announcement comment is more than 24 hours old, and the purchase has not yet been completed, the purchase attempt is rendered invalid and must be restarted with a new purchase announcement comment if the purchase is still to take place.

I just Scored a Fire card because the GNDT said I was on zero Thaum, making it impossible to play Up Effects. But following the nagging thought that I had more Thaum than that (maybe someone had played a card to reduce it?), it looks like Brendan accidentally zeroed my Thaum when reducing his own, back on the 13th, presumably by leaving the Thaum field with “0” when turning to update my stats.

Technically my Scoring a Fire card was a legal action and I have no grounds for undoing it, so here’s a CfJ to do what I’d actually have done if I knew I had 5 Thaum this morning and played the Fire card (Up) instead of Scoring it:

If Kevan’s Thaum is greater than 1, reduce it by 2 and increase the War of the Swamp by 1.

Proposal: Simultaneous Actions [Appendix] [Core]

reached quorum 5-1 enacted by card

Adminned at 14 Jul 2018 02:58:09 UTC

Remove “A Wizard may not take more than one Atomic Action at the same time.” and “In addition, the Wizard performing an Atomic Action performs its steps as quickly as they are able.” from “Atomic Actions”.

To the “Time” subsection of “Clarifications”, add a new bullet point:-

A Wizard may not take more than one dynastic game action at the same time (excluding any actions which have been ongoing for more than three hours).

To the “Fair Play” rule, add a bullet point:-

A Wizard should not deliberately and unreasonably prolong the performance of a game action once they have started it.

For any game actions which were taken simultaneously by the same Wizard during this dynasty, any of those actions which were not Scoring actions are considered not to have occurred, and the gamestate shall be updated to reflect this.

This stronger wording of the same rule came up back in February but we didn’t put it up for vote. (“More than one action” is probably taking it too far, as it risks shutting off core voting and admin actions.) Adding a three-hour sanity clause in case a scam or an accident prevents a player from being able to complete an action.

Deliberately prolonging a game action (which is already in place for atomics) also seems sufficiently meta to become a generic Fair Play rule.

There’s a Rider to limit 9spaceking’s past actions (and those of anyone who wants to try it before this proposal enacts) to just Scoring, per comments on the previous post. 9spaceking is welcome to make a “lose all Thaum and apply effects A, B, C and D to the gamestate” follow-up proposal if they’d rather resolve it differently.

9spaceking’s game actions

9spaceking seems to be playing cards under the misunderstandings that all cards give you +1 Thaum when you play or attach them, and that the Communities list doesn’t need to be updated when a card you’ve played changes Community stats.

Play/attach actions taken by the player this dynasty are:-

  • “Apply down effect and attach Slayer to ‘Swamp’” for +1 Thaum and no list update: Corona reverted the Thaum the next day (“Sorry, but I don’t see how playing Slayer gives you Thaum?”) and updated the Communities list on 9spaceking’s behalf.
  • “play Framed on Brendan” for +1 Thaum and no list update (it’s not clear whether it was played Up or Down)
  • “apply none of the effects of Marital Ties, since they are optional” for +1 Thaum and no list update
  • “Play alliance and discard Mudling robes” for +1 Thaum and no list update (and again, neither Up nor Down specified)

Since 9spaceking has never gained any Thaum, I think they should be on 0 Thaum at this point, rather than 3, and (since their first action post-dates the 1-Thaum cost for Up effects) they cannot have played any Up effects. Are there any other ways to read this? And is it legal for other players to apply Community changes that 9spaceking failed to?

(As 9spaceking observes with Marital Ties, it’s legal for all of these Play actions to have been taken by applying neither effect and just discarding the card, so I don’t think 9spaceking is stuck in a “may not take any other dynastic action until all such steps are complete” atomic lock at this point. The action of discarding the card signalled the end of the atomic action, in each case.)

If objects can only be duplicated while you have them in hand, they will probably never get duplicated, since you don’t need more of them, and instead will be hoarded by players to deny them to others. (They’re more powerful than a typical card, even if they take up space in hand).

Add some cards to the list in “Deck”:

# Gauntlet of Power (1) [Object] No constraint. > Change the War Rating of a Community to match its Economy Rating. / No effect.
# Ring of Teleportation (1) [Object] No constraint. > Set your Home to a random Community. / No effect.
# Amulet of Illusion (1) [Object] No constraint. > You are considered to be Ruling your Home for the next hour. / No effect.

# Mirror of Persuasion (1) [Object] No constraint. > Make a Suspicious Community become Indifferent towards you and an Indifferent Community become Suspicious towards you. / No effect.

Making Objects into a card-is-attached-to-the-wizard kind of thing: if you pay for the Up effect, you keep the card, and balance this against it taking up space in your hand. (The existing Objects are just the four play-a-Person-as-this-faction ones, which seem mild enough to use this mechanic.)

Currently all Structure and Monster cards can be attached, as well as two (out of nineteen) People and four out of ten Rituals. Also one Trick in the form of Bridge Troll, which I’m guessing was meant to have been a Monster anyway.

Having only Structure and Monster cards being attachable (and always being attachable) would be easier to remember.

Reword “The Devil’s Playthings” from:

to:

When a Wizard is unidled, all cards are removed from their hand.

The current rule means that any unidling Wizard loses half their hand, and if they’re unlucky enough to be holding a duplicate card they lose their entire hand - because their hand would be illegal (“No more than one Wizard may have a given card in their hand at a time”) and would be set to the default, blank value by the unidling rule. If they’re holding a card that has been repealed or Prohibited, their hand is also blanked for being illegal.

Removing all cards from unidling Wizards would be simpler, and would remove some scope for fiddly tactical idling (including the counter-play of trying to draw and hold, or repeal, a card after someone else idled with it).

Proposal: Honour System

Adminned at 03 Jul 2018 09:13:46 UTC

Add a new subrule to “Cards” called “Trading” as follows:

Should two Wizards, A and B, agree via private communication that Wizard A will trade one card in their hand for one card in Wizard B’s hand, either such Wizard may post a comment (called the “trade announcement comment”) to the GNDT that declares a trade in progress, names the other Wizard, and names the two cards they intend to trade. The other Wizard may then, within 24 hours, perform this trade (with both cards changing hands simultaneously) and update the GNDT to reflect it.

Both cards must still be in their respective Wizards’ hands until the trade is performed, or it cannot take place. If the trade announcement comment is more than 24 hours old, and the trade has not yet been completed, the trade attempt is rendered invalid and must be restarted with a new trade announcement comment if the trade is still to take place.
