Change:

If fewer than two Deliveries exists

To:

If fewer than three Deliveries exist

change:

a bidding area

To:

a bidding area (which is a string)

The Great Eccentric looked at those he had hoped would fulfill his dreams and sighed. Six projects worth billions of dollars each, but only two bids, each one on a different project. 

Perhaps the bidding needed more publicity. He hoped that making the bidding public would urge contractors to bid…

Zaphod took a GNDT action of “Trading in 3I for 1R”. The rule for swapping resources says “At any time a Contractor may spend 3 different resources or 2 funds to gain 1 resource of any kind.”

My reading of that rule was that the Contractor would have to spend one each of three resources, and not three of one resource - otherwise why use the word “different”? Nobody would argue that “spend 3 resources” could be met by spending the self-same single unit of resource three times over.

Replace “may spend 3 different resources” with “may spend 3 different resources (i.e. one each of three resources which are different from each other)” and consider Zaphod’s action to have been taken - and illegal - under that new wording of the rule.

Change ” a status (which is either dreamed, posted, contracted, or finished, and defaults to dreamed) ” to

a status (which is either dreamed, posted, secret, both, contracted, or finished, and defaults to dreamed)

Append to the list of project attributes:

*a bidding area

Change “A project may be written as NAME (STATUS) | ESTIMATION | LOCATION, where NAME is its name, where STATUS is its status, where ESTIMATION is its estimation, and where LOCATION is its location. ” to

A project may be written as NAME (STATUS) | ESTIMATION | LOCATION | BIDDING AREA, where NAME is its name, where STATUS is its status, where ESTIMATION is its estimation, where LOCATION is its location, and where BIDDING AREA is its bidding area.

Change “A contractor may make a bid on a project with a status of “Posted” by sending a private message to the Great Eccentric stating the name of the project and an amount.” to

A contractor may make a bid on a project with a status of “Secret” by sending a private message to the Great Eccentric stating the name of the project and an amount. This is known as a Secret Bid.

A contractor may make a bid on a project with a status of “Posted” by appending to the bidding area their bid. Bids in the bidding area are formatted in a comma delinated list and represented as XY, where X is the name of the bidder and Y is the amount. If the Y value of a bid is less than or equal to its Bidder’s Funds, then its a Valid Bid. This is known as a Public Bid.

A contractor may make both Secret and Public Bids on a project with a status of “Both”.

If favoring the well rested (https://blognomic.com/archive/favoring_the_well_rested ) has passed, change “If there is a tie, randomly choose from among the contractors that have the fewest number of contracted projects.” to

If there is a tie, randomly choose from the following criteria, stopping at the first contractor chosen: contractors that have made the lowest public bid and have the lowest number of contracted projects, contractors that have made the lowest secret bid and have the lowest number of contracted projects.

Otherwise change it to

If there is a tie, randomly choose from the following criteria, stopping at the first contractor chosen: contractors that have made the lowest public bid, contractors that have made the lowest secret bid.

Change the status of all projects to Secret

Add a rule with the following text

At any time the Great Eccentric may perform the following atomic action:
*set the status of any projects that have no bids on them to either Posted or Both
*set the status of a Secret project with bids on it to Both if there is at least 2 other Secret projects with bids on them
*remove this rule from the ruleset

Trigon idle’s out after 8 days inactivity
quorum remains 4

Change the second bullet point of the atomic action in Contracts to

Select the project’s winner from among the Contractors with the lowest bid on the project. If there is a tie, randomly choose from among the contractors that have the fewest number of contracted projects.

Change:

A Contractor with at least 5 Engineering may spend 2 Transportation to change their Site to any Site.

To:

A site which is the location of a completed project with “space elevator” or “orbital ring” in its name is said to have a port

A Contractor may spend 2 Transportation to change their Site to Space. A contractor whose site has a port may spend 1 Transportation to change their site to space

A Contractor with a site of Space may spend 1 Transportation to change their Site to any Site. A Contractor with a site of Space may spend 0 Transportation to change their Site to a site that has a port

Add to the rule “Projects”:

When a project with “Orbital Ring” in its name is completed, if the name of a site is in its name, change its location to that site.

Change the name of the “orbital ring” project to “Orbital Ring of Earth”

In “Finance,” replace

At any time a contractor may gain 2 Investment to gain 1 Fund.

with

At any time a contractor may gain 1 Investment to gain 1 Fund.

Create A rule named “Sales”:

If a contractor is not the creator of a currently valid Sale, that Contractor may create one by performing the following atomic action:

*Reducing their Resources by any amount
*Posting a Story Post blog entry with a title that includes the words “Sale” and listing the quantities of Resources removed in the previous step (and only those Resources), as well as a minimum price

Any Contractor that is not the creator may respond to a Sale with a comment in the format “Bidding $XB”, where X is a non-negative integer greater than or equal to the minimum price: such a comment is known as a Bid. If the value stated in a Bid is less than or equal to its Bidder’s Funds, and it is not equal in value to an earlier Valid Bid on the same Sale, then it is a Valid Bid.

If a Sale is more than 24 hours old and no Contractor has made a Valid Bid on it in the past 24 hours, then any Contractor or the Great Eccentric may close the Sale by posting a comment to that effect on that Sale: upon doing so, the Contractor with the highest Valid Bid on the Sale pays Funds equal to that Bid’s value to the sale’s creator, and gains the Resources listed in the Sale. If no valid bid has been made, increase the resources of the creator of the sale by those listed in the sale. The Sale then ceases to be a Sale.

Add the following after the first atomic action listed in Contracts

If it has been 60 hours or more since the last bid on a project with only bids from 1 contractor, the Great Eccentric may “Award” a project by taking the following atomic action:
*Make a blog post stating the name of the project being awarded. This post is known as the project’s contract.
*In the contract state which contractor had the lowest bid. This is known as the project’s winner.
*List double the amount of the lowest bid. This is known as the project’s prize
*Resolve the resource ranges in the project’s estimation, and list this in the contract. This is known as the project’s cost.
*Change the status of the project to “contracted”

After the first sentence of Votable Matters, add the following text:

A Voter is either a Contractor or the Great Eccentric.

change all instances of “any Contractor or the Great Eccentric” to

any Voter

Set all Dreamed Contracts to Posted.

Add a sub rule to “Resources named “Deals”:

A contractor may propose a “Deal” by making a story post listing a specific amount funds and/or resources they would like to trade for a specific number of funds and/or resources, and a contractor they would like to trade with. If the contractor listed in the post makes a “FOR” comment on the post, the listed amounts of funds and resources are exchanged. If the Great Eccentric feels the deal is non-competative, he may make a comment containing the words “ANTI-TRUST” and reduce the funds of either or both contractors in the deal by an amount not to exceed the total count of funds and resources in the trade

Change:

A contractor may Complete a contract by

To:

The winner of a project with the same site as the project’s location may Complete that contract by

In “Deliveries”, replace “then any Contractor may close the Delivery” with:-

then any Contractor or the Great Eccentric may close the Delivery

and replace “any Contractor may create one” with:-

any Contractor or the Great Eccentric may create one

Append to Resources

At any time a Contractor may spend 3 different resources or 2 funds to gain 1 resource of any kind.

Append to Finance

At any time a contractor may gain 2 Investment to gain 1 Fund.

Change “Investment has a starting value of 10” to “Investment has a starting value of the average investments of all Contractors”

Remove “If a contractor would loose as much or more money by completing a project they are the winner of than by canceling its project, any contractor or the Great Eccentric may cancel the contract.” from the ruleset.

In “Deliveries,” replace

If no Delivery exists, any Contractor may create one

with

If fewer than two Deliveries exists, any Contractor may create one

Also replace

If a Delivery is more than 24 hours old and no Contractor has made a Valid Bid on it in the past 24 hours, then any Contractor may close the Delivery:

with

If a Delivery is more than 24 hours old and no Contractor has made a Valid Bid on it in the past 24 hours, then any Contractor may close the Delivery by posting a comment to that effect on that Delivery:

If a number of EVC’s equal to quorum include the phrase “Requesting Delivery,” create two additional Deliveries.

I wish to be unidled.

Add to the rule Contracts:

A contract is canceled by making a comment on it announcing the project is canceled, decreasing the funds of the winner by $3B, and setting the status of the project to dreamed.

The winner of a contract may cancel it at any time. If a contractor would loose as much or more money by completing a project they are the winner of than by canceling its project, any contractor or the Great Eccentric may cancel the contract.

Make “Contracts” a subrule of “Projects”, rename it to “Reviews” and reword it to:-

If the Great Eccentric has not Reviewed a Project in the previous 48 hours, the Great Eccentric may Review a random Dreamed Project by taking the following atomic action:

* Make a blog post stating the name of the Project being reviewed.
* Resolve the resource ranges in the Project’s estimation, and list this in the contract. This is known as the Project’s Cost.
* Set the Project’s Prize to the total number of Resources in its Cost.
* Change the status of the Project to Contracted.

A Contractor may construct a Contracted Project by paying the Project’s Cost from their Resources and increasing their Funds by the Contract’s Prize (minus $1B for every full 72 hours that have passed since the project became Contracted).

If a Project was constructed more than 24 hours ago, any Contractor may change that Project’s Status to Finished.

To the bullet list in “Projects”, add:-

* a prize (either a number or “Unknown”)

Set the Prize of all Projects to “Unknown”.

Add to the rule “Projects”:

A project may be written as
NAME (STATUS) | ESTIMATION | LOCATION,
where NAME is its name, where STATUS is its status, where ESTIMATION is its estimation, and where LOCATION is its location.

Add the following projects to the list of projects:

Atlantis Arcology (Dreamed) | 1-2 T 1-2 C 1-2 I | Ocean
Orbital Ring (Dreamed) | 2-2 R 3-6 T 1-3 I 2-3 P | Space
Timbuktu Irrigation (Dreamed) | 2-2 R 2-2 B 1-1 P | Earth
Jakarta Space Elevator (Dreamed) | 2-3 T 2-3 E | Earth
Trans-Atlanic hypertube (Dreamed) | 1-2 T 1-2 R 1-2 E | Ocean
Ceatan De-extinction (Dreamed) | 3-5 B 1-3 P | Ocean

In “Finance”, replace “Investment has a starting value of 10” with “Investment has a starting value of 0”.

To “Finance”, add:-

If a Delivery exists and the Contractor has not already done so during that Delivery’s existence, that Contractor may seek Investment. Upon doing so, they may choose a number from 1 to X (where X is equal to 10 plus their Publicity), and increase both their Investment and Funds by that amount.

Set every Contractor’s Investment to zero.

In “Resources,” add the following:

All Resources are either Material, Human, or Social Resources. Material Resources refers to physical capital a Contractor can own, and include Robots, Transportation, and Infrastructure. Human Resources refers to manpower a Contractor can call upon to complete tasks (such as employees and volunteers), and include Colonists, Biology, and Engineering. Social Resources are means that a Contractor can use for outreach, and includes Publicity.

At any time, a Contractor may spend 1 Robot to increase any other Material Resource by 1; likewise, they may spend 1 Publicity to increase any other Human Resource by 1.

If either “Reperpousing of Resources” or “A Proper Transformer” enacts, this Proposal shall be considered self-killed for the purpose of its resolution.

Add a subrule to “Finance” called “Loans” which reads:

At any time, the Great Eccentric may give a Loan to a Contractor by increasing their Investment and Funds by X (where X is a positive integer no larger than 10) and including a comment in the GNDT to that effect.

If the proposal “Reperpousing of Resources” failed, add a new rule, “Robots”:-

A Contractor may, at any time, replace 1 of their Robots with 1 of any other Resource.

In “Numbers and Variables”, before “and a rule that allows Contractors to transfer a numeric value only allows them to transfer that value from themselves to another Contractor (of their choice unless otherwise stated)”, add:-

a Contractor can spend only their own values,

Replace “A Contractor’s Funds divided by their investment is their Return on Investment, or ROI.” with:-

A Contractor’s Funds divided by their Investment is their Return on Investment, or ROI - unless their Investment is zero, in which case their ROI is zero.

Add “Conversion” as a subrule to “Resources” with the following text

The following transactions represent changing one resource into another. At any time a contractor may spend the given amount of resources that they have on the left side of the equal sign to gain the amount of resources on the right side of the equal sign.

2 Robots + 1 Engineering = 1 Transportation
3 Robots + 1 Colonists = 2 Engineering
3 Engineering + 1 Transportation = 2 Robots
4 Colonists = 1 Biology
3 Transportation + 1 Engineering = 1 Publicity
4 Publicity = 1 Colonist

change “which may be either Earth, Mars, Moon, Ocean or Space” to

which may be either Earth, Mars, Venus, Moon, Ocean or Space

Create a rule named “Contracts”:

A contractor may make a bid on a project with a status of “Posted” by sending a private message to the Great Eccentric stating the name of the project and an amount.

If it has been 24 hours or more since the last bid on a project with bids from more than one contractor, the Great Eccentric may “Award” a project by taking the following atomic action:
*Make a blog post stating the name of the project being awarded. This post is known as the project’s contract.
*In the contract state which contractor had the lowest bid. This is known as the project’s winner.
*List the amount of the second lowest bid. This is known as the project’s prize
*Resolve the resource ranges in the project’s estimation, and list this in the contract. This is known as the project’s cost.
*Change the status of the project to “contracted”

A contractor may Complete a contract by paying the project’s cost from their resources, changing the project’s status to finished, and increasing their funds by the contract’s prize minus $1B for every full 72 hours since the project was awarded.

Add a subrule named “Resource Ranges” the rule “Resources”:

A resource range follows the format “X-Y A”, where X and Y are numbers with X lower than Y, and A is the first letter of a resource.

When a resource range is resolved, the result is number of resources, with the resource matching the letter of the resource range and the number being randomly selected from between X and Y inclusive.

Create a rule named “Projects”:

Projects are tracked as a list in a subrule of this rule named “Project List”.

A Project has:
* a name (which is a string)
* a status (which is either dreamed, posted, contracted, or finished, and defaults to dreamed)
* an estimation (a list of resource ranges)

If a rule named “City Sites” exists, add to the list of attributes a project has:

*a location (which is a site)

Add a new rule, “City Sites”:-

Each Contractor is working at a Site, which may be either Earth, Mars, Moon, Ocean or Space, and which is tracked in the GNDT (defaulting to Earth, which may be tracked as “-”). Earth and Ocean are Local Sites, all others are Offworld Sites.

A Contractor may spend 1 Transportation to change their Site from a Local Site to another Local Site.

A Contractor with at least 5 Engineering may spend 2 Transportation to change their Site to any Site.

Whenever a Contractor changes their own Site, they must set their Infrastructure to zero.

To the “Resources” rule, add a Resource:-

* Infrastructure represents the physical buildings and facilities constructed at a site. It includes housing, roads and power systems. X units of Infrastructure may be written as XI, where X is the amount of Infrastructure.

In the rule “Deliveries” (if it exists), replace “Robots, Transportation, Colonists, Publicity, Biology and Engineering” with “Robots, Transportation, Colonists, Publicity, Biology, Engineering and Infrastructure”.

Add a new rule, “Deliveries”:-

If no Delivery exists, any Contractor may create one by performing the following atomic action:

* Randomly selecting a type of Resource from Robots, Transportation, Colonists, Publicity, Biology and Engineering
* Repeating the previous step four more times
* Posting a Story Post blog entry with a title that includes the words “New Delivery” and listing the quantities of Resources selected in the previous steps (and only those Resources)

Any Contractor may respond to a Delivery with a comment in the format “Bidding $XB”, where X is a non-negative integer greater than zero: such a comment is known as a Bid. If the value stated in a Bid is less than or equal to its Bidder’s Funds, and it is not equal in value to an earlier Valid Bid on the same Delivery, then it is a Valid Bid.

If a Delivery is more than 24 hours old and no Contractor has made a Valid Bid on it in the past 24 hours, then any Contractor may close the Delivery: upon doing so, the Contractor with the highest Valid Bid on the Delivery loses Funds equal to that Bid’s value, and gains the Resources listed in the Delivery. The Delivery then ceases to be a Delivery.

To “Finance”, after “Each Contractor has Investment and Funds, which are numbers tracked in the GNDT with a ‘$’ before and a ‘B’ after.” add:-

Investment has a starting value of 10, and Funds has a starting value of 10.

Set all Contractors’ Investment and Funds to 10.

Create a rule named “Finance”:

Each Contractor has Investment and Funds, which are numbers tracked in the GNDT with a ‘$’ before and a ‘B’ after. They represent billions of dollars. A Contractor’s Funds divided by their investment is their Return on Investment, or ROI. The Contractor with the highest Return on Investment when the dynasty has finalized has achieved victory.

The dynasty has not finalized.

Create a rule named “Resources”:

Each Contractor has 0 or more of the following resources.
*Robots represent machines that build things. It includes robotic arms in factories, automated construction equipment, and miners. X units of robots may be written as XR, where X is the number of robots.
*Transportation represents trains, boats, spaceships, and everything else that moves other things. X units of transportation may be written as XT, where X in the amount of transportation.
*Colonists represent unattached workers looking for a better life. Colonists can be sent to live on far-off worlds, but they can also be genetically engineered or paid to live in unusual circumstances. X units of colonists may be written as XC, where X is the number of colonists.
*Publicity represents Advertising, philanthropy, friendly reporters, and other ways to manage public opinion. X units of Publicity may be written as XP, where X is the amount of publicity.
*Biology represent genetic engineers, ecologists, medical staff, and the facilities they need. X units of Biologists may be written as XB, where X is the amount of biology.
*Engineering represents the ability to plan and solve physical engineering problems. It includes materials engineers, physicists, architects, and rocket engineers. X units of Engineering may be written as XE, where X is the amount of Engineering.

each Contractor’s resources are tracked in a field of the GNDT named “Resources”

I gazed up at the pyramids towering above me. They weren’t the largest structures ever built. I’d commissioned larger ones myself, even before reaching my current status and power. Yet there was something special about these 4 millenia old structures. Something inspiring.

“Did you know the egyptians weren’t the first civilization?” My voice startles my assistant, and she looks around nervously to see if I’m offending any locals: it would make the news.

“We actually aren’t sure who is first. We remember egypt because of those. Because of the size and audacity of what they acomplished. Because they built big.”

“People talk about changing the world, but all they ever change is the attitudes of the people on it. I’m going to change it. Not with words and social programs, but with tractors and spaceships. I’ll control the weather. I’ll send colonists to mars. I’ll send them to the stars. I’ll build cities in space. I’ll build them underwater.”

I gaze back up at the pyramids “And no one will ever forget me.”

“Where are you going to find someone who can build a city in space?” My assistant asks.

I smile “Oh, I know some people who could do it, given enough money”

Change Dungeon Master to “Great Eccentric” and “Adventurer” to “Contractor”. All special rules are active.

I like to check for interest in dynasty ideas before picking one. Right now I have three ideas I’m considering:

* A dynasty about contractors making secret bids on projects and building the right team for a job whose requirements aren’t known until the last second. The theme could be criminal mercenaries, space mega structures, or even gilded age construction projects.
* A dynasty about governing a polity. Each player gets a different position with different powers and goals each “round”. Perhaps we have a mechanic where scoring points weakens your faction’s strength and thus ability to determine position. Themes could be a fantasy city with magical powers in each position, a modern democracy with checks and balances, or a hereditary monarchy with factional leaders born into different positions.
* A dynasty about deck building and card duels. We’d probably have a card-building start with occasional duels for bonuses and the test the rules, and then end with a tournament. The duels could be framed as armies clashing, close up personal magical duels, a slow logistical contest, or even robots or spaceships fighting.

I want to know which mechanics and themes interest you the most. You’ll notice that I’m separating the mechanics from the themes: I think they’re both necessary and both important. I’m interested in your preferences on each.

In the rule “Items”, change:

Rules that do not add an attribute are considered rules text that apply only to that item.

to

Modifiers that do not add an attribute are considered rules text that apply only to that item.

I noticed a DoV and looked at how the victory mechanic works in this dynasty, out of curiosity. I noticed the following sentence in “Items” (see the rest of the rule for context):

Rules that do not add an attribute are considered rules text that apply only to that item.

The definition of a Rule is pretty clear from the Appendix:

Each individually numbered section of the ruleset is a rule, including sections that are sub-rules of other rules.

(Currently, the Rules themselves aren’t actually numbered due to how the wiki page is set up, but they are numbered in the Contents block.)

None of our Rules actually adds an attribute (with the possible exception of the “Items” Rule itself). Does this mean that our Core Rules are only considered rule text to “that item”, whatever that is?

I have obtained and destroyed the Dragon’s Head, achieving victory.

I supported Card twice in order to assure victory. There is no stated limit on how many times an adventurer may support another adventurer. As it turned out, the dice were with us, and there was no need to take such precautions.

If the proposal https://blognomic.com/archive/increasing_rate has not passed, this proposal does nothing.

Change “(three times the number of active Adventurers) plus seven” to

(ten times the number of active Adventurers) plus five

Change ” Randomly choose a monster type” to

Secretly choose a random monster type

Change “Create a monster of that type and add it to the list of monsters in wilds randomly chosen from that monster’s ecology.” to

At any time, an Adventurer may spend 1 AP to change their Location

Change the modifier of flying boots to

“An Adventurer in possession of these boots can change to locations other than the Dragon’s Lair without spending AP.”

Change “tracked in the GNDT as “AP”, defaulting to 5.” to

In “Hunting”, replace:

Optionally decrease the frequency of the Monster’s monster type in the Bestiary by one.

with:

Optionally decrease the frequency of the Monster’s monster type in the Bestiary by one, if is is above 3.

‘Tis now dark. If you have not camped, now would be a good time.

Add to Items:

Cursed versions of items are denoted by having the text “Cursed ” before the name of that item. A cursed item cannot be deleted or destroyed from inventory, all attributes, such as attack power, are considered negative. For any rules that item has, the following words are replaced: “more” and “less”, “gain” and “lose”.

Add to the Item list:

Mystical Amulet
‘‘The runes on this amulet glow with power’‘
*The first spell you cast since the previous respawn costs 1 less to cast. A spell with a negative cost is cast for 0 instead of gaining you AP.

Sword of Extinction
‘‘This sword has many words carved in its side: mammoth, owlbear, kobold ... the list goes on for a long time and you don’t recognize most of them’‘
*When Hunting a monster your Might and Magic are considered 1 more if that monster is the only of its kind in the Wilds.
*Attack power: 3

Camouflage
‘‘Wearing this ridiculous looking getup makes you feel like a dryad but at least the monsters have a harder time finding you at night’‘
*If you are in the Wilds, as an additional step preceding the camping action, gain one less than DICEX health where X is one more than the number of monsters in your current wild at the time of the last respawn.
*Moving from a Wild to Town costs one additional AP.

Duck Whistle
‘‘This makes a sound that attracts a specific monster. Which one is unknown to you’‘
*From the list of non-Dragon monsters, randomly choose one of them. If that monster is in a different wild than you are, change its wild to your current one.
*Destroy after use.

Random Cursed Item
*When this item is added to your inventory, lose it and from the list of items not including items with the word random in their name or the Dragon’s Head, add one of the cursed versions of those items.

Random Item
*When this item is added to your inventory, delete it and from the list of items not including items with the word random in their name or the Dragon’s Head, add one of those items. Roll a DICE4 and on a 3 or less it becomes the cursed version of that item.

Random Regular Item
*When this item is added to your inventory, delete it and from the list of items not including items with the word random in their name or the Dragon’s Head, add one of those items.

Curse Item
*When this item is added to your inventory, lose it and choose a random item in your inventory. Add the text “Cursed ” in front of it.

Why did I ever add the nights proposal? This is tedious.

Add to the Rule Items:

An adventurer in the same wilds as another adventurer and with 2 or more AP may may Pickpocket another adventurer by performing the following atomic action:
*choose another adventurer as a “Target”
*Roll DICE10 in the GNDT. 
*If the Die roll is 5 or greater, move DICEX items of an item type randomly selected from all item types in the target’s inventory, where X is the number of items of that item type they own.
