BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Add to the rule “Food” the following paragraph:

If a Wizard has at least 1 Food, then they can set their Food to 9.

Create a new rule titled Majority Vote

A Wizard may cast a vote of MAJORITY on a proposal by including the text “:MAJ:” in a comment. A vote of MAJORITY is considered to be valid and either FOR if, once all DEFERENTIAL votes are counted, more EVCs are voting for a proposal than have voted against it or AGAINST in all other cases.

append to Stable

As a daily action, a wizard may sell an animal which is the following atomic action:
*choose an animal in their stable
*gain food equal to its upkeep cost
*subtract food equal to the number of non-Wild qualities which don’t match the Wizard’s Underling quality
*remove that animal from their stable

If the proposal “The Right to Bear Armour” does not pass, this proposal has no effect.

Add to the rule War:

After the text “it destroys the creature in the same slot number of each opposing force (excluding creatures which are Armoured)”, add “then if any of those creatures are Armoured, they lose the Quality Armoured”.

In Scoring, remove “or armored” from “+2 if the creature has venomous or armored”.

In War, replace “it destroys the creature in the same slot number of each opposing force” with:-

it destroys the creature in the same slot number of each opposing force (excluding creatures which are Armored)

In the rule, “Duel”, replace

average score of the other duelist’s creature slots,

with

average Strength of the other duelist’s creature slots,

Change the sentence in the rule “Food” that reads “(If a Wizard’s Underling Type is not blank, their increase from this is decreased by the Upkeep of their Underling Type.)” to read:

If a Wizard’s Stable is not empty, their increase from this is decreased by the total Upkeep of every Creature in their Stable. If a Wizard’s Underling Type is not blank, their increase from this is decreased by the Upkeep of their Underling Type.

Add a new rule titled Abstain

A Wizard may cast a vote of ABSTAIN on a proposal by including the text “:ABS:” in a comment. When counting votes for a proposal, a vote of ABSTAIN reduces quorum for that proposal by one half of a vote for each EVC of ABSTAIN.

Add to the list of creature Qualities:

Digging (2)
Stealthy (1)

Add to the rule “Creatures”:

creatures with one of a set of incompatible qualities may not have another quality from that set added to it.

obedient and wild are a set of incompatible qualities.
Winged and leaping are a set of incompatible qualities.
Digging and winged are a set of incompatible qualities.

In the rule “Scoring” or the rule “Strengthing”:

change :

+2 if the creature has venomous or armored

to:

+2 for each of the following the creature has: venomous, armored

change:

+1 if the creature has Fanged, Horned, Obedient, or Ferocious

To:

+1 for each of the following the creature has: Fanged, Horned, Obedient, Ferocious

Add:

*+3 if the creature has leaping and the battlefield has walled or sloped
*+3 if the creature has Digging and the battlefield has walled, sloped or underground
*+2 if the creature has Stealthy and the battlefield has forest, farflung, underground, or sloped

This is Campaign Number 1. Our battlefields are as follows:

Mushroom Mines: rich underground forest
Ice Floes: aquatic, aquatic, frozen
Ice Caves: underground, aquatic, frozen

Such terrain is difficult for regular troops to fight in. I need beasts able to conquer such terrain. Which Wizard can provide me with beasts able to conquer Sea, Ice, and cave?

If the proposal “Dueling for honour” (which this is based on, thx IENPW III,) has passed, remove all rule additions made by that proposal, remove from the GNDT all Court Allies which have a cost or trust above zero, and set each Wizard’s favor to 5. (To reverse any quick-duel abuse made between proposals.)

Replace

Any Wizard may announce a duel, by posting a blog entry with a title including the word “Duel”.

with

Any Wizard may announce a duel, if they have not done so in the previous 96 hours, by posting a blog entry with a title including the word “Duel”.

Add the following paragraph to the end of rule “Duel”:

The Triumphant’s favor increases by the average score of the other duelist’s creature slots, rounding up. The non-Triumphant duelist’s favor is decreased by half, rounding up, of the amount the Triumphant gained. (Favor can become negative in this way.)

Remove from the GNDT all Court Allies which have no cost, or a cost of zero.

In “Court Politics”, replace “spending an amount of favor greater than the cost of any court allies in the GNDT with that identity” with:-

spending an amount of favor greater which is both greater than zero and greater than the cost of any court allies in the GNDT with that identity

Then replace the word “cost” with “trust” throughout that rule.

Change “A wizard with zero creatures in their stable may create a creature with zero modifiers and a creature type of an animal name chosen from the list of animals.” to

A wizard with zero creatures in their stable may create a creature with up to one quality and a creature type of an animal name chosen from the list of animals which has not been already chosen by another Wizard for this rule during this Dynasty.

Add to Stables

A Wizard with a name contained in the following list may add a quality to a creature that has no qualities and is in their stable by removing their name from the list: PLAYERLIST. When the list has no names or the date is greater than July 1st, any Wizard may remove this paragraph from the ruleset.

When this is enacted, replace PLAYERLIST with the list of Wizards who have created a new animal with zero modifiers so far in this dynasty.

Add to court politics:

A wizard with a court ally with an identity may said to be allied with that identity.

If a Wizard allied to the Royal Mistress or Queen would receive courtly favor, they receive that much favor plus 1 favor instead.

Change:

As a weekly action, the King may increase every Wizard’s Food by 10.

to:

As a weekly action, the King may increase every Wizard’s Food by 10, and the food of the wizards allied to the chamberlain or treasurer by an additional 3 for each

Replace “score” wherever it appears in the ruleset with “strength”.

Add the following paragraph after the second paragraph of the rule “Duel”:

A Wizard can have only one active duel or duel announcement at a time. If 96 hours have passed and a duel has not yet started, it is cancelled and the Wizard may announce another.

Add the following sentence to the end of the rule “Duel”:

The Triumphant’s favor increases by the average score of their opponent’s creatures, rounding to the nearest integer.

In “Food”, after “As a weekly action, the King may increase every Wizard’s Food by 10.” add:-

(If a Wizard’s Underling Type is not blank, their increase from this is decreased by the Upkeep of their Underling Type.)

Change “A wizard with zero creatures in their stable may create a creature with zero modifiers and a creature type of an animal name chosen from the list of animals.” to

A wizard with zero creatures in their stable may create a creature with up to one quality and a creature type of an animal name chosen from the list of animals which has not been already chosen by another Wizard for this rule during this Dynasty.

Add to Stables

A Wizard with a name contained in the following list may add a quality to a creature that has no qualities and is in their stable by removing their name from the list: Brendan, card, Farsight, Kaia, Kevan, naught, pokes, TyGuy6, ubq323. When the list has no names or the date is greater than June 1st, any Wizard may remove this paragraph from the ruleset.

If there is no rule named “The War”, then create it. Change the rule named “The War” to read:

Any time there is no open campaign, the King may “Go on Campaign” as an atomic action with the following steps:
*Create three battlefields with randomly selected battle effects and names chosen by the king.
*Make a blog post listing the battlefields generated, and the campaign number, which for the first campaign is 1 and goes up by 1 for each subsequent campaign. This post is known as a campaign.

Battlefields created in this way are also added to the list of current Battlefields in rule “Battlefields”.

Any Wizard may participate in an open campaign by making a comment on the campaign in which they:
*Choose a battlefield from among those created for the campaign, and
*Submit an ordered list of 5 elements, each being either a unique creature from in their Stable, or left empty. Any creature thus listed cannot be removed from their Stable or used by the participating Wizard (such as in a duel or a campaign) until the closing of the campaign.

===Closing a Campaign===
If an open campaign has been posted for 72 hours, any Wizard may close it by making a comment on the campaign with an ordered list of five random numbers, generated as up to 2N+4, where N is the campaign number. Doing so creates a force with five creatures in the slots, of type Emu1 through Emu5, in order, each with a Score (on any battlefield) equal to the number generated for its place in the order. The force is called the Western Force, and its commander is the Armies to the West. (Any previous Western Force, with its creatures, is replaced by the new one.)

When a campaign is thus closed, one battle is created for each participating Wizard, on the battlefield they chose in participating, between a new force generated from their list submitted to this campaign (they become its commander) and the Western Force. If the Wizard becomes the Triumphant, they gain Courtly Favor equal to 5 plus the campaign number.

Regardless of their outcome, battles in the Western War are likely to have casualties. If a single creature in the Western Force has a higher Score than every other creature in that force, it destroys the creature in the same slot number of each opposing force. Creatures destroyed in this way are removed from any Stable they were in.

If the proposal “I Wonder What’s Inside?” enacted, remove all ruleset text between and including “The Mysterious Egg - if a Wizard” and “the Mysterious Egg hatches and is removed from that Wizard’s Stable.”

In “Creature”, replace “spends food equal to the stock’s upkeep” with:-

spends food equal to the stock’s upkeep (unless the Whelp has the Spectral quality)

Add a new Quality to the list in “Creature”:-

* Spectral (0)

To the end of “Creature”, add:-

A Spectral Creature cannot be selected as Stock, nor can it be removed from a Stable by the owner of that Stable. A Stable cannot contain more than one Spectral Creature.

If “More Natural Beasts” has passed, change “As an atomic action a Wizard who can complete all of the steps may breed a creature.” to

The following atomic action is known as breeding a creature and may be done at any time by a Wizard

Add to Creatures

A Creature with the Wild quality cannot have the Obedient quality added to it and vice versa.

Create a rule named “The War”:

As a weekly action, the king may “Go on Campaign” as an atomic action with the following steps:
*Create three battlefields with randomly selected battle effects and names chosen by the king.
*Make a blog post listing the battlefields generated. This is known as a campaign season

If a campaign season has been posted for 72 hours, any wizard may close it by making a comment to that effect on the campaign season. That campaign season then ceases to be a campaign season.

I’d like to test the dueling system and see if it feels like it works as is or if it needs more tweaks to be fun and interesting. I don’t seem to be a particularly creative Wizard, so I just produced some very large beasts!

We will duel at the City Gates. All Wizards are valid judges and opponents and the King is a valid judge.

Change:

When a Wizard Mutates a creature, they create a new creature with exactly one more or one less quality than the starting creature.

To:

As an atomic action a Wizard who can complete all of the steps may breed a creature.
#That wizard (known as the breeder) selects a creature (known as the stock) in a stable belonging to another wizard (known as the proprietor)
#creates a new creature (known as the whelp) exactly one more or one less quality than the stock
#spends food equal to the stock’s upkeep
#Adds the whelp in their stable, optionally removing a creature from their stable as normal.

remove:

A Wizard may mutate a Creature in another Wizard’s Stable by spending an amount of Food equal to that Creature’s Upkeep; the resulting Creature is added to the mutator’s own Stable.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oe2mg7pdY6h_xlF0mdVa4ZQ1bYS9agUXu-zXh1zhExM/edit?usp=drivesdk

I reworked Farsight’s Mysterious Egg proposal in this Google Doc. Hope he doesn’t mind.

I’m wondering if it’s a good process for new proposal writing, especially if complex mechanics are involved. Try making edits to the doc if you like. Easy to use? Comments can also be added to the doc, but that might be redundant to comments here. When it looks good, then someone can actually propose it, defaulting to myself in a day or so.

Add to the rule to the ruleset named “Victory”:

No wizard may achieve victory by using a rule that does not use the phrase “has achieved victory”. A wizard who is a “Victor” has not achieved victory. 

Immediately after a proposal containing the word “Victor” is enacted, change all instances of “Victor” to “Triumphant”. If the word ‘Triumphant’ appears in the ruleset, any admin may delete this rule

If the rules “Battle” and “Duel” do not exist, this proposal has no effect.

In the rules “Battle” and “Duel”, replace all instances of the word “victor” with the word “winner”.

“Add to the rule “Creatures”:

The Mysterious Egg - if a Wizard has never had a Mysterious Egg in their Stable, then add to that Wizard’s Stable a creature called Mysterious Egg.
This creature counts as one of a Wizard’s allowance of five creatures.
This creature has a score of 0 on any battlefield.
This creature cannot be mutated.
A Wizard with a Mysterious Egg may choose to mutate a creature in another Wizard’s Stable without spending its food cost. If a Wizard chooses to do this, the Mysterious Egg hatches and is removed from that Wizard’s Stable.

Create a rule named “Court Politics”:

Each wizard has Courtly Favor, which is an integer tracked in the GNDT under “Favor”

Each wizard has zero or more court allies, tracked in a GNDT column named “Allies”. Each Court Ally has an identity (a string) and a cost (a number), and is written as [identity]([cost]). Only one wizard may have a court ally with any given identity at a time. A wizard may “associate” with a court ally by selecting an identity, spending an amount of favor greater than the cost of any court allies in the GNDT with that identity, removing any courtly allies in the GNDT with that identity, and adding to their court allies an ally with the chosen identity and a cost equal to the court favor spent.

The following are the possible identities of Court Allies:
*Queen
*Treasurer
*Chamberlain
*Northern General
*Southern General
*Most Eligible Courtier
*Royal Mistress
*ArchBishop

add 5 to the Courtly Favor of each Wizard

If the rule “Battlefields” does not exist, this proposal has no effect.

Create a new rule, “Battle”

A battle has a battlefield and two forces. A force has a commander, which may be a Wizard, the King, or the Armies to the West. A force also has 5 creature slots numbered 1 to 5, which may be a valid creature, or empty.

The score of an occupied creature slot is determined by that creature’s score given the battle’s battlefield. An empty creature slot is given a score of 0. A force’s wins in a battle is given by the number of N in the range 1-5 such that their Nth creature slot has a higher score than the opposing force’s Nth creature slot. In the case that the forces have an equal number of wins, an additional win will be awarded to one force by way of a random DICE2 roll in the GNDT. The force that has the most wins is the battle’s victor.

Create a new rule, “Duel”

Any Wizard may announce a duel, by posting a blog entry with a title including the word “Duel”. A Wizard who announces a duel is that duel’s challenger. The challenger may further specify a list of valid opponents, defaulting to a list of all Wizards, and a list of valid judges, defaulting to a list of all Wizards and the King. Any valid opponent may become the opponent by stating such intention in a comment on the blog entry. Likewise, any valid judge may become the judge by stating such intention in a comment on the blog entry. The judge, opponent, and challenger must all be different. The challenger and opponent are the two duelists.

At the time that the judge, opponent, and challenger are all assigned, the duel begins. The duelists must submit a plan by sending a private message to the judge listing an ordered list of 5 elements, each being either a creature or left empty. Any creature listed must be in the duelist’s Stable, and no creature may be listed twice in the same duel.

If 48 hours have passed since the start of the duel and only one of the duelists has submitted a valid plan, that duelist is the victor. If 48 hours have passed and neither duelist submitted a valid plan, a victor is decided by way of a random DICE2 roll in the GNDT.

Once both players submitted a valid plan, a battle takes place. The first force is the challenger, and the second force is the opponent. Their creature slots are the lists submitted the the judge. The judge must then post a comment on the duel’s blog entry detailing the creature slots, scores, wins, and which duelist was the victor. The victor of the duel’s battle is the victor of the duel.

If “Proposal: They Are Coming” passes:

Amend Duel by appending “The challenger specifies the duel’s battlefield from the list of current battlefields. Battles conducted during this duel have the duel’s battlefield as their battlefield.” after the words “A Wizard who announces a duel is that duel’s challenger.”

If “Proposal: They Are Coming” does not pass:

Amend Duel by appending “The battlefield is randomly determined” to after “a battle takes place.”

Replace the word “paying” with the word “spending” in the rule “Underlings.”

Add 3 to the Food of every Wizard.

If the rule “Battlefields” does not exist, this proposal has no effect.

Replace the following:

A Battlefield has three randomly selected battle effects

with:

A Battlefield has a name and exactly three battle effects.

Add the following onto the end of rule “Battlefields”:

===Current Battlefields===

These are the current Battlefields, with their respective battle effects:

* City Gates—nearby, walled, level

Create a rule named “Battlefields”:

A Battlefield has three randomly selected battle effects

Valid Battle Effects are:
*aquatic
*walled
*desert
*forest
*frozen
*rich
*poor
*level
*sloped
*underground
*farflung
*nearby

Create a subrule in Battlefields named “Scoring”

A creature’s Score on a battlefield is calculated by adding together the following:
*+2 if the creature has winged and the battlefield does not have underground or forest
*+2 if the creature has winged and the battlefield has walled or aquatic
*-2 if the creature has winged and the battlefield has underground
*+3 if the creature has giant
*+3 if the creature has fire breathing and the battlefield does not have frozen
*+2 if the creature has venomous or armored
*+4 if the creature has swimming and the battlefield has aquatic
*-1 if the creature has swimming and the battlefield does not have aquatic
*+2 if the creature has surefooted and battlefield has sloped, desert, forest or underground
*+2 if the creature has swift and the battlefield has farflung or level
*+1 if the creature has Fanged, Horned, Obedient, or Ferocious

In the rule “Stables”, replace “Once every 72 hours, a Wizard may mutate a creature in another wizard’s stable and add the resulting creature to the stable of the wizard who mutated the creature.” with:-

A Wizard may mutate a Creature in another Wizard’s Stable by spending an amount of Food equal to that Creature’s Upkeep; the resulting Creature is added to the mutator’s own Stable.

For each Wizard, if the total Upkeep of Creatures in their Stable minus the number of Creatures in their Stable is greater than zero, reduce their Food by that amount (to a minimum of zero).

In “Stables”, replace “a creature type of an animal name chosen from https://a-z-animals.com/animals/” with :-

a creature type of an animal name chosen from the [[list of animals]].

In “Creature”, replace “Uncontrollable” with “Wild”.

Set the wiki page “List of animals” to have the content it had at 08:10 UTC on the 25th of June 2019.

Remove from all stables all creatures whose creature types do not appear on the “List of animals” wiki page.

Create a new rule called “Items of Power”.

Within this rule, add the following:

The Wandering Hat - The Wizard who holds the Hat is referred to in this rule as the Wearer. The Hat allows the Wearer to mutate a single Creature in another Wizard’s Stable without paying its Upkeep. If a Wizard chooses to use the Hat in this way, the Wizard whose Creature they mutated becomes the new Wearer. The new Wearer cannot use the Hat in the same 72 hour period as the previous Wearer.

Within the rule “Items of Power”, also add the following:

The initial holder of an Item of Power is randomly assigned by the King, using a GNDT dice roll.

If the proposal “Creatures Great and Small” has not passed, this proposal has no effect.

Create a new rule entitled “Underlings” as follows:

Each Wizard may have an Underling Type, which is tracked in the GNDT as a string which is either blank or the name of a valid creature quality from among those listed in the rule “Creature.” By default, a Wizard’s Underling Type is blank.

If the proposal “Frog Chow” has passed, add a paragraph to the rule “Underlings” as follows:

As a Weekly Action, a Wizard may set their Underling Type to any creature quality by paying Food equal to three times the absolute value of that quality’s listed Upkeep. As long as a Wizard’s Underling Type is a given quality, for that Wizard, the Upkeep of that quality is considered to be 0.

Replace “cost” with “Upkeep” throughout the dynastic ruleset.

Enact a new rule, “Food”:-

Each Wizard has an amount of Food stockpiled for their creatures, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero. As a weekly action, the King may increase every Wizard’s Food by 10.

In the rule “Creature”, if it exists, replace “Once every 72 hours, a Wizard may mutate a creature in another wizard’s stable and add the resulting creature to the stable of the wizard who mutated the creature.” with:-

A Wizard may mutate a Creature in another Wizard’s Stable by spending an amount of Food equal to that Creature’s Upkeep; the resulting Creature is added to the mutator’s own Stable.

Create a rule named “Battlefields”:

A Battlefield has one to three randomly selected terrains

a terrains has a name, which is a string, and a list of battle effects, which are
The following are the valid terrain:
*aquatic
*walled
*desert
*frozen
*rich
*poor
*level
*sloped
*underground
*farflung
*nearby

Create a rule named “Creature”

a creature is a creature type proceeded by a list of zero or more qualities. Two creatures with the same qualities (not considering order) and creature type are the same creature. A quality may be added to a creature more than once.

When a Wizard Mutates a creature, they create a new creature with exactly one more or one less quality than the starting creature.

A quality has a name, which is a string, and a cost, which is an integer. The following is a list of all valid qualities, written as [name]([cost]):
*Giant (3)
*Winged (3)
*Fire breathing (2)
*Obedient (2)
*Leaping (2)
*Armored (2)
*Venomous (2)
*Swimming (1)
*Ferocious (1)
*Sure-footed (1)
*Swift (1)
*Horned (1)
*Fanged (1)
*Gaudy (0)
*Uncontrollable (-1)
The cost of a creature is the sum of the costs of its qualities.

Create a rule named “Stables”

Each wizard has a Stable, which is a list of up to five creatures, tracked in the GNDT as a semicolon separated list.

A wizard may not add a creature to their stable if that creature is in another wizard’s stable.

A wizard with zero creatures in their stable may create a creature with zero modifiers and a creature type of an animal name chosen from https://a-z-animals.com/animals/

When a wizard adds a creature to their stable, they may remove a creature from their stable.

Once every 72 hours, a Wizard may mutate a creature in another wizard’s stable and add the resulting creature to the stable of the wizard who mutated the creature.

The king’s court is garbed in black, for the second most important figure in the realm has died. Not the queen, nor the heir, but the Royal Wizard. For years, Garen Drakemage captured, bred, and enchanted monstrous beasts to serve in battle. The ferocious beasts have provided key victories, bringing both the realm and Garen much honor.

But now Garen Drakemage is gone, and one of his apprentices must take his place as the chief supplier of military monsters. Each must strive to prove his worth. It is a contest of both skill and leadership. In the end, one wizard will be selected as the new Royal Wizard, and given a title fitting of his new station. And with the on-going conflict in the west, the demand for war monsters is higher than ever…

My name is Kaia and I intend to become an Architect.

With 4 maintained research modules and 4 civic titles, I have 19 points, more than any other architect. I just maintained myself, and as my site is safe, I have achieved victory

The final drop post was closed by a comment made at 05:04:53 on 21/06/2019, which, unless I’m very much mistaken, means we will be able to make Declarations of Victory from 17:04:53 on 22/06/2019.

I have little interest in present dynasty, however, I’d like to point to the unlawful taking of two Civic titles by Derrick, as I understand current rules and conditions. I also note a certain lack of an ‘if and only if’ clause which seems rather against the spirit of the game to abuse, unless you guys enjoy trifling with technicalities.

A keyword defined by a rule supersedes the normal English usage of the word. Furthermore, a keyword defined in the Glossary supersedes that defined by a rule. (eg. A rule specifying “bananas are blue” cannot be overruled by posting a dictionary definition or a photo of a banana, and a rule specifying “every day is Sunday” will be overruled by the Glossary entry below.)

Create a subrule of “Keywords” called “Glossary,” and move the list of keywords to that subrule.
