Uphold the wiki revision at https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Company_Portal&oldid=18877 as accurately reflecting the current gamestate (albeit not the entirety of the current gamestate). Set each Employee’s Department to Reception, and Team to none. Uphold that no employee has performed a Weekday Action in the current day.

And now to track things:

Wherever “Each employee has an integer value called Prod” appears, change it to “Each employee has a publicly tracked integer value called Prod”. (2 places)

Wherever “Warehouse is a list” appears, change it to “Warehouse is a publicly tracked list”. (2 places)

If the proposal at https://blognomic.com/archive/teleported_into_a_hell_dimension was passed, skip the rest of this proposal. Otherwise, fail that proposal, and continue:

In the rule “Teams”, after “The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s Team, with the exception that they are unable to change an Employee’s Team to or from On Strike, except as described in the rule On Strike.”, add:

An Employee’s Team is publicly tracked.

In the rule “Departments”, after “As a Weekday Action, an Employee may change their Department to any valid department.”, add:

An Employee’s Department is publicly tracked.

In the rule “Boring Box Company”, after “If they did not perform any Weekday Actions on the previous Weekday, they may instead increase their own Energy by up to 3 points, for a maximum of 4.”, (if that sentence exists,) add:

An Employee’s Energy is publicly tracked.

In the rule “Boring Box Company”, after “If they did not perform any Weekday Actions on the previous Weekday, they may instead increase their own Energy by up to 3 points, for a maximum of 4.”, add:

An Employee’s Energy is publicly tracked.

In the rule “Teams”, after “The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s Team, with the exception that they are unable to change an Employee’s Team to or from On Strike, except as described in the rule On Strike.”, add:

An Employee’s Team is publicly tracked.

In the rule “Departments”, after “As a Weekday Action, an Employee may change their Department to any valid department.”, add:

An Employee’s Department is publicly tracked.

Add a rule, “My Other Job’s a Yacht”:

While an Employee’s number of Options is greater than 70-(10P), where P is their Productivity, they are considered Overworked, and may not perform Weekday actions.

Since Productivity is a bad thing, now…

If https://blognomic.com/archive/horizontal_integration didn’t pass, remove the sentence “A Striking Employee must set their Productivity to zero and may not increase it by any means.” and skip the rest of this proposal (the parts below this paragraph).

Change “At any time, an Employee may set their Department to Reception, their Team to “On Strike”, and their productivity to 0. All Employees whose Team is On Strike may be said to be Striking. A Striking Employee may not perform Weekday Actions, and neither their Productivity nor Options may be increased by any means.”
to

At any time, an Employee may set their Department to Reception and their Team to “On Strike”. All Employees whose Team is “On Strike” may be said to be Striking. A Striking Employee may not perform Weekday Actions, and their Options may not be increased by any means.

For each sentence which begins “Employees on the X Team receive twice as much Productivity for actions performed in”, where X is the name of a Team, change “on the” to “not on the”.

We’re replacing Energy, so…

Remove the paragraph that starts with “Each Employee has an integer number of Energy points,”.

Remove the words “costs 1 Energy and” from the sentence “A Weekday Action is a daily action which costs 1 Energy and may only be performed on a Weekday.”

In “Boring Box Company” replace

, then setting each Employee’s Productivity to zero.

with

, then setting each Employee’s Productivity to zero, then reduce each Employee’s options by 10% (rounding their resulting options up)

In the rule “Boring Box Company”, replace the paragraph beginning “A box is” with the following:

A box is a kind of resource. A box has properties for material, size, value, weight, and contents. The Warehouse Table is a list of boxes and their properties. The default value for weight is the same as the size, and the default value for contents is blank. The contents of a box are secretly tracked by the CEO, but the CEO may at any time assign each box an arbitrary public identifier to distinguish otherwise identical boxes from one another.

If the proposal “Horizontal Integration” was enacted, add a new subrule to Departments called “Warehouse” as follows:

An Employee may only take actions described in this rule if they are in the Warehouse.

If the proposal “Horizontal Integration” was failed, create a new rule called “Warehouse”.

Add the following to the rule “Warehouse”:

As a Weekday Action, an Employee may put something in a box by sending a private message or Discord DM to the CEO naming exactly one box in the Warehouse Table, and the name of an item they wish to put in, which may be any noun. An item in a box either has value (and is valuable), or has no value (and is not valuable).

The list of items that have value is secretly tracked by the CEO, but a SHA-256 hash of the list must be kept at the wiki page List of valuable box contents (SHA-256 hash). The list may only be changed by votable matter or where allowed by the ruleset. An item that has value is any term(s) that appear on the list, including spelling variations, plurals, or alternate grammatical forms. The CEO should resolve ambiguities in item names at their discretion in order to avoid confusion.

When an Employee puts an item in a box, the CEO must increase the box’s weight by 1, and set the box’s contents to the given item (or if multiple employees add an item to the same box, a comma separated list of those items). The first time any particular valuable item is sold in a box, the CEO must increase the Company Budget by a random value from 1 to 100 (inclusive), and increase the Options of the Employee that put the item in the box by 10% of that value, rounded up.

The CEO should, as soon as possible (and only once), perform the following atomic action:
* Populate a list of items (at their discretion) which have value.
* Generate a SHA-256 hash of the list, and add it to the wiki page List of valuable box contents (SHA-256 hash).
* Remove the bullet points comprising this atomic action, and the preceding sentence, from the ruleset.

Good afternoon, boring box squad! I hope you’re all having a nice, relaxing weekend. Can you believe it’s already been two weeks since we set out on this boxtastic adventure? I couldn’t be more excited for our future, and I wanted to take this opportunity to report on our progress so far.

As you can see, our profit margins are on the up and up! We got off to a rocky start, but the growth has been exponential. Those Research rapscallions took quite a few questionable risks, but they paid off! Boxes made of ink? Remarkable. Diamond? Outstanding. Responsibly sourced cat fur? I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure at first, but we really cornered the market on that one.

Employee productivity is also, unsurprisingly, growing at an impressive rate. You are on fire! And yes, the graph is color-coded to reflect that. Let’s keep working hard (but not too hard) and keep the train going (but don’t strain yourself)! The numbers do show that the sales team could use a bit of leg-up, so any employees with a knack for numbers are encouraged to submit a transfer request and make their way over to the office.

I know some of you are feeling dismayed about the members of the team who are no longer with us. While we try to make BoxCo a fun and engaging work environment, our unorthodox style isn’t for everyone. But that just means you’re the cream of the crop! The creme de la creme, if you will! Besides, what does the Exciting Cube Corporation have that we don’t have? Unlimited paid vacation time? Nope. A top-tier health insurance plan, with dental? No way. Regularly scheduled vision and hearing tests? I don’t think so. Complementary blood tests and DNA sequencing? Not a chance. Voluntary preventative appendectomies, performed in-house? The list just goes on and on…

Let’s keep working hard to ramp up production, while making sure to eat nutritious meals and take regular breaks! I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ve doubled our sales figures by this time next week. And when in doubt, just remember our company slogan: Good things come in boring boxes!

Can you believe it? The Exciting Cube Corporation has poached not one but two of our finest execs. Chiiika and lemon have both taken cushy jobs with our biggest rival; this will likely be bad for morale.

Quorum drops to 6.

In “Boring Box Company”, add the following paragraph after the first:

Each Employee has an integer number of Energy points, which defaults to 1. As a daily action, an Employee may increase their own Energy by up to 2 points, for a maximum of 4. If they did not perform any Weekday Actions on the previous Weekday, they may instead increase their own Energy by up to 3 points, for a maximum of 4.

In “Boring Box Company”, replace the sentence starting “A Weekday Action is” with:

A Weekday Action is a daily action which costs 1 Energy and may only be performed on a Weekday.

Replace the rule “Departments” with the following, leaving its subrules unchanged:

Each Employee has a Department, which is their location in the Boring Box Co. facility. An Employee’s Department defaults to Reception. As a Weekday Action, an Employee may change their Department to any valid department.

The list of Departments is as follows:
* Reception
* Research Lab
* Factory
* Warehouse
* Office

Rename the rule “Research & Development” to “Research Lab” and replace its first paragraph with the following:

An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they are in the Research Lab. Employees on the RnD Team receive twice as much Productivity for actions performed in the Research Lab.

Rename the rule “Manufacturing” to “Factory” and replace its first paragraph with the following:

An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they are in the Factory. Employees on the Manufacturing Team receive twice as much Productivity for actions performed in the Factory.

Rename the rule “Sales” to “Office” and replace its first paragraph with the following:

An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they are in the Office. Employees on the Sales Team receive twice as much Productivity for actions performed in the Office.

Immediately after the rule “Boring Box Company”, add a new rule called “Teams” as follows:

All Employees of Boring Box Co. should belong to a Team, which is either Research & Development (AKA RnD or R&D), Manufacturing (AKA Mfg), or Sales. The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s Team.

An Employee who is unhappy in their current Team is encouraged to submit a transfer request to the CEO. Any Employee that does not belong to a Team must be assigned one at the CEO’s earliest convenience.

If the proposal “The Winter” was enacted, after “The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s Team”, add “, with the exception that they are unable to change an Employee’s Team to or from On Strike, except as described in the rule On Strike”.

In the rule “Job Titles”, remove the sentence “An Employee’s Team consists of themselves and every Employee in the same Department that they manage.”

If, before the enactment of this proposal, the rule “Departments” contained paragraphs beginning with “A proposal is a Promotion Proposal” and/or “If an Employee does not”, add either of them (if only one existed) or both of them (if both existed) to a new subrule of “Job Titles” called “Promotions”

Throughout the rules “Job Titles” and “Promotions”, replace the word “department” with “team”. If the rule “On Strike” exists, replace the word “department” with “team” throughout it.

Replace the first three sentences of “On Strike” with:

At any time, an Employee may set their Department to Reception, their Team to “On Strike”, and their productivity to 0. All Employees whose Team is On Strike may be said to be Striking. A Striking Employee may not perform Weekday Actions, and neither their Productivity nor Options may be increased by any means.

Set each Employee’s Team to the last valid value they had for their Department. Set each Employee’s Department to Reception.

In the sentence, “If an Employee does not share a Department with any Employee whose name is mentioned in a given Promotion Proposal or a Demotion Proposal, then their vote on that Proposal is invalid.” change “or a Demotion Proposal” to “or a given Demotion Proposal”.

Reword the text in the rule “Job Titles” that reads “for instance, the CEO has a Seniority of 8, and an Intern has a Seniority of 0” to read

for instance, an Intern has a Seniority of 0.

Add a new rule entitled “The Means of Production” as follows:

If any Employee (other than the CEO, if the CEO is an Employee) has more Vested Value than each other Employee and is senior to each other Employee, then that Employee achieves and has achieved victory in the current dynasty.

Add to the subrule “Research & Development”:

*Increase that employee’s options by the average of all dice rolled. If this would add more than 15 options, only add 15.

In the subrule “Manufacturing”, add the following:

*Increase the Vested Value of the employee who produced the box by the box’s value times 10. If this would add more than the company’s budget times 15, only add the company’s budget times 15.

Add to the subrule “Sales”:

As a weekday action, an employee may advertise the company by performing the following atomic action:
* Roll 1DICEX, where X is the company budget. The result of this roll divided by 5 is known as advertisement’s Expense.
* Roll 1DICEY, where Y is the company budget minus [20 times the number of orders]. This is the advertisement’s Effectiveness.
* If the advertisement’s Effectiveness is higher than it’s Expense, then the Employee who took the advertising action may immediately sell a box, then once again advertise, regardless of if those actions would otherwise be legal. This is known as a selling streak. Actions taken as part of a selling streak do not add productivity, but always add options according to the incentive formula.

Set the special case rule Dynastic Distance to be inactive.

In the rule “Departments”, replace the paragraph starting with “For the purpose of” with:

For the purpose of rules which allow members of certain departments to perform certain actions, the CEO is considered a member of the department whose employees have the lowest combined productivity (ignoring the CEO’s productivity).

Add the following to “Boring Box Company”

Each employee has an integer value called Production, which defaults to 0.

Resetting is weekly communal action, which may be performed by any Employee or the CEO, and is atomic action which consists of first setting each Employee’s Production to their current Productivity, then setting each Employee’s Productivity to zero.

No Weekday Actions may be performed if the Resetting action has not been performed yet for the current week.

Following seven glorious days of inactivity, it is finally time for Silverwing to head on out to her retirement cottage near Poughkeepsie. We all wish her well; please gather in the kitchen at 6pm for cake and a short toast by the CEO.

Quorum drops to 7.

If the rule Departments contains the sentence “The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s department, which is publicly tracked”, change it to

The CEO has the power to set and/or change an Employee’s department, with the exception that they are unable to change an Employee’s Department to or from On Strike, except as described in the rule On Strike. An Employee’s Department is publicly tracked.

Add the following to the list of available Departments in the rule Departments:

* On Strike

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Departments, called On Strike:

An Employee may set their Department to On Strike as a Weekday Action. All Employees whose Department is On Strike may be said to be Striking. A Striking Employee must set their Productivity to zero and may not increase it by any means. A Striking Employee may have a Demand, which is free text containing no wikimedia formatting, and which must specifically and solely demand that the CEO carry out a single action that they are permitted to carry out by the ruleset; and which defaults to blank.

An Employee may only perform a Picket action if they belong to the On Strike Department. As a Weekday Action, an Employee may Picket, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Add or change their Demand
* Decrease the company budget and increase the company debt by x%, where x is the number of Striking Employees

The CEO may freely Accede to a Demand, by carrying out an Action demanded of them by a Striking Employee (ensuring that that action is otherwise legally carried out) and then changing that Employee’s Department.

If https://blognomic.com/archive/about_work_the_dancefloor has passed, this proposal does nothing.

From the rule Boring Box Company, remove “The first time a given Employee performs a Weekday action on a given day, each member of their Team receives an increase in Options according the Incentive Formula” and “Each time an Employee performs a Weekday Action, their productivity increases by 1.”

From the rule Departments, remove “The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s department”.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Departments, called Departmental Actions:

A Departmental Action must be described as being restricted to a single Department. A Departmental Action is a Weekday Action that may only be undertaken by an Employee whose Department is the Department to which that Departmental Action is restricted. An Employee may only carry out one Departmental Action a day, as per the restrictions on Daily Actions (and so an Employee may also not carry out two Departmental Actions within the same 10 hour period)

Whenever an Employee carries out any Departmental Action they must the carry out the following Atomic Action:
*Increase their Productivity by 1, unless doing so would set their Productivity to the same value as the Seniority of the hierarchal rank immediately above the one they currently hold, in which case set their Productivity to zero and increasie their hierarchal rank by 1 place
*Increase the Options of each member of their Team according to the Incentive Formula

In all subrules to the rule Departments, change “An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they belong to the” to “All Actions defined in this rule are Departmental Actions that are restricted to the”. Remove “As a Weekday Action,” wherever it appears from all such rules.

In the rule “Boring Box Company”, change “The Materials Table is a list of Materials and their properties.” to read

The Materials Table is a list of Materials and their properties. A material has a name, a value, and a priority.

Add the following to the subrule “Manufacturing”:

As a Weekday Action, an Employee may tune the machines, by increasing by 1 the priority of a Material on the materials list.

Create a new rule after the rule “Departments”, titled “Automation”:

As a daily communal action, any Employee may work the machines, as this atomic action:
*Randomly choose a material from the materials list, using the priority for each material as the weight of probability of choosing that material. (So if a material has priority 2, and the total of all material priorities is 7, then that material gets a 2/7 chance.)
*If the chosen material is in the list of Orders, choose the smallest size from among its associated sizes on that list. Otherwise, randomly choose a size from the integers 1-10.
*Produce as many boxes, of that material and that size, as can be produced without spending more than the company budget, to a maximum of 3 boxes. To produce a box is to follow the set of steps listed in the atomic action in the subrule “Manufacturing” that are describing how to “produce a box”. (But in this case, doing so doesn’t count as a Weekday Action.)

If the proposal “About Work The Dancefloor” has been enacted, remove “As a Weekday Action,” from the subrule “Manufacturing”.

From the rule Boring Box Company, remove “The first time a given Employee performs a Weekday action on a given day, each member of their Team receives an increase in Options according the Incentive Formula” and “Each time an Employee performs a Weekday Action, their productivity increases by 1.”

From the rule Departments, remove “The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s department”.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Departments, called Departmental Actions:

A Departmental Action must be described as being restricted to a single Department. A Departmental Action is a Weekday Action that may only be undertaken by an Employee whose Department is the Department to which that Departmental Action is restricted. An Employee may only carry out one Departmental Action a day, as per the restrictions on Daily Actions.

Whenever an Employee carries out any Departmental Action they must the carry out the following Atomic Action:
*Increase their Productivity by 1, unless doing so would set their Productivity to the same value as the Seniority of the hierarchal rank immediately above the one they currently hold, in which case set their Productivity to zero and increasie their hierarchal rank by 1 place
*Increase the Options of each member of their Team according to the Incentive Formula
*Change their Department to one of the other Departments, at their choice.

In all subrules to the rule Departments, change “An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they belong to the” to “All Actions defined in this rule are Departmental Actions that are restricted to the”. Remove “As a Weekday Action,” wherever it appears from all such rules.

Reset the Options and Vesting of all Employees to zero, set each Employee’s hierarchal rank to Officer, and then set each Employee’s Department to a randomly selected Department.

Set the Special Case Rule “Dynastic Distance” to be inactive.

Replace the first paragraph of the rule “Departments” with the following:

All Employees of Boring Box Co. should belong to a department, which is publicly tracked. The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s department. The CEO may only change a given employee’s department once per day, and only if that employee has not already performed any Weekday Actions on that day.

The list of departments is as follows:

In the rule “Departments”, replace the paragraph starting with “For the purpose of” with:

For the purpose of actions which may only be performed by members of certain departments, the CEO may perform these actions regardless of their current department as long as there are no employees in the relevant department, or if all Employees in the relevant department have been inactive for at least 48 hours.

Replace the words “an integer amount of Vesting” in the rule “Equity” with

a nonnegative amount of Vesting

Then, replace the word “Vesting” wherever it appears in the Dynastic Rules with the phrase “Vested Value” and convert the Vesting each Employee had held at the time of this proposal’s enactment into Vested Value.

Reword the paragraph in the rule “Departments” which begins “A proposal is a Promotion Proposal if…” as follows:

A proposal is a Promotion Proposal if and only if it is Titled “Requesting Promotions” and the text of the proposal is “Requesting Promotions for XXX” where XXX is a list of the names of one or more employees, which may not include the CEO. When a Promotion Proposal is Enacted, the Hierarchal rank of each Employee included in its list is increased by 1. A proposal is a Demotion Proposal if and only if it is Titled “Requesting Demotions” and the text of the proposal is “Requesting Demotions for XXX” where XXX is a list of the names of one or more employees, which may not include the CEO. When a Demotion Proposal is Enacted, the Hierarchal rank of each Employee included in its list is decreased by 1, to a minimum of 0.

If an Employee does not share a Department with any Employee whose name is mentioned in a given Promotion Proposal or a Demotion Proposal, then their vote on that Proposal is invalid. For the purpose of calculating the quorum for a Promotion Proposal or a Demotion Proposal, only the Employees whose votes would be valid are considered to be Employees.

In the Appendix replace

If a game action is a Daily Action, each Employee able to perform it may take that action once each day, but not more than once every ten hours.

with

If a game action is a Daily Action, each Employee able to perform it may take that action once each day, but not more than once every four hours.

Add the following to “Debt”

The Company Equity is equal to the Company Budget minus the Company Debt. If the Company Equity is below zero the Company is In the Red (otherwise it is not in the red)

In “Equity” replace

At any time, an Employee may increase their Vesting by X, where X is the Company’s Budget multiplied by that Employee’s own Options; upon the completion of this action, that Employee’s amount of Options is set to 0.

with

If the Company is not In The Red, an Employee may increase their Vesting by X, where X is the Company’s Equity multiplied by that Employee’s own Options; upon the completion of this action, that Employee’s amount of Options is set to 0.

Divide the Vesting of all employees by 10.

Change “The first time a given Employee performs a Weekday action on a given day, increase the Options of each member of their Team according the Incentive Formula.” to

The first time a given Employee performs a Weekday action on a given day, each member of their Team receives an increase in Options according the Incentive Formula.

Undo each action taken according to the rule “Equity”, which were made while this CfJ was pending. Then reverse each Options increase made by one Employee for another Employee while the second Employee was not on the first Employee’s Team, which were made while this CfJ was pending.

Create a new rule called “Weekly Roundup” as follows:

The Weekly Roundup is an Event. As a weekly action, the CEO can and should make a blog post with the Weekly Roundup tag. The style and phrasing of the post are flexible, but its body should follow this general format:
* An optional, brief introduction.
* The current Company Value (which is calculated as: the company budget + the total value of all boxes in the Warehouse - the company debt) and it’s percent change since the last weekly roundup.
** If the value is positive and the change is positive, the company is considered profitable. Otherwise, the company is considered not profitable.
* The name of one chosen Employee of the Week (who is not the CEO).
** This Employee is one who the CEO believes deserves recognition for their contributions to the company in the week prior. That employee immediately receives a bonus increase of 3 options, and each employee in the same Department as them immediately receives a bonus increase of 1 option.
* Optionally, a new mission statement for the Boring Box Company.
** If included, the CEO must, immediately after posting, replace the mission statement in the rule “Boring Box Company” with the new one.
* Any number of Objectives for the upcoming week.
** Employees are encouraged to perform actions in the following week that contribute towards achieving these objectives.
* Optional closing remarks.

Employees may make Responses to the Weekly Roundup with the following Response Format:

Promote: X
Demote: Y

…where X is the name of one Employee they vote to promote (or blank), and Y is the name of one Employee they vote to demote (or blank). If an Employee makes more than one comment on a Weekly Roundup that conforms to the Response Format, all but the most recent one are considered flavor text.

Employees are encouraged to leave other comments on the Weekly Roundup to discuss their plans/ideas for the upcoming week, share their own accomplishments, and/or give feedback on other Employees’ performance.

The Ending Condition for the Weekly Roundup is that the post is at least 48 hours old. Anyone may End the Weekly Roundup as long as they perform these Ending Actions:
* Increase by 1 the rank of the Employee who has the most Promote votes, as long as they have a number of Promote votes equal to half of quorum (rounded up) and doing so would not cause someone to have a rank equal to or higher than CEO. Ties are broken by random selection.
* Decrease by 1 the rank of the employee with the most Demote votes, as long as they have a number of Demote votes equal to half of Quorum (rounded up) and doing so would not cause them to have a rank lower than Intern. Ties are broken by random selection.

A memo for my co-workers in Research & Development, AND in Manufacturing:

Give TyGuy6 the rank of Manager (5).
Give Chiiika the rank of Vice-President (7).
Give SupernovaStarbright the rank of Director (6).

Give all members of the Manufacturing team whose EVC on this proposal contains a single number between 1 and 7 the rank that corresponds to that number, if that EVC contains a FOR vote.

In the rule “Departments” Replace the text

A proposal is a Departmental Proposal if and only if it mentions by name any number of departments, includes the phrase “A memo for my coworkers”, its effects are limited to changing the ranks of members of that Department, and it does not include the phrase “All departments” or a synonym for it. Only employees who are members of the departments named in a Departmental Proposal may vote on that Departmental Proposal; all other votes are invalid. For the purpose of calculating the quorum for a Departmental Proposal, only the Employees whose votes would be valid are considered to be Employees.

with

A proposal is a Promotion Proposal if and only if it is Titled “Requesting Promotions” and the text of the proposal is “Requesting Promotions for XXX” where XXX is a list of the names of one or more employees. When a Promotion Proposal is Enacted, the Hierarchal rank of each Employee included in its list is increased by 1. If an Employee does not share a Department with any Employee whose name is mentioned in a Promotion Proposal their vote on that Proposal is invalid. For the purpose of calculating the quorum for a Promotion Proposal, only the Employees whose votes would be valid are considered to be Employees.

In “Job Titles”, change the sentence beginning with:

Within each Department, an Employee may be said to be managing all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one less than their own

to:

Within each Department, an Employee may be said to be managing all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one or two less than their own, and may be said to be being managed by all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one or two greater than their own.

In “Job Titles”, change the sentence beginning with:

Within each Department, an Employee may be said to be managing all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one or two less than their own, and may be said to be being managed by all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one or two greater than their own.

Set the Special Case Rule “Dynastic Distance” to be inactive.

Also, replace “For the purpose of rules which allow members of certain departments to perform certain actions, the CEO is considered a member of all departments” in the rule “Departments” with “The CEO is always considered a member of all departments.”

In “Manufacturing”, replace the atomic action to produce a box with:

* Choose any material from the materials table.
* Choose a size which can be 1, 2 or 3.
* Calculate the Production Cost by multiplying the size by the material cost. The Material and Size must be chosen so this total is not higher than the company budget.
* Decrease the company budget by the production cost.

If boxes do not have a property called size, add the following step to the atomic action for selling a box, immediately after the second step:

* If the Orders list contains an entry matching the material of the box being sold, add 1 to the profit margin and remove that Order from the Orders list.

Change the word “LLC” to “Inc” wherever it appears in the Dynastic Rules.

Add a subrule to “Equity” entitled “Trading” as follows:

As a Weekday Action, an Employee may spend an amount X of their Vesting, where X is the company’s Budget multiplied by an integer Y, to increase the Options of any other Employee who does not share a rank or a Department with them by Y.

If “Winklevi” did not enact, this proposal does nothing.

Increase the Vesting of the Employee named Jumble by 22.

Adds the following bullet point under “Remove the chosen box from the Warehouse.” in the Sell a Box Atomic Action:

Add a subrule of “Boring Box Company” called “Orientation Day” as follows:

Sunday, January 16 2022 is always considered a Weekday. If it is after Sunday 16/1/22, any willing Employee should remove this paragraph from the ruleset. Unwilling employees are not encouraged to do so, in order to avoid unnecessary stress.

Create a new dynastic rule called “Departments” as follows:

All Employees of Boring Box Co. should belong to a department. The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s department, which is publicly tracked. The list of departments is as follows:

* Research & Development (AKA RnD)
* Manufacturing
* Sales

An Employee who is unhappy with their department is encouraged to submit a transfer request to the CEO. Any Employee that does not belong to a department must be assigned one at the CEO’s earliest convenience.

For the purpose of rules which allow members of certain departments to perform certain actions, the CEO is considered a member of all departments. The CEO should perform actions specific to a particular department if there are no other employees in that department, or if all employees in that department have been inactive for at least 48 hours.

Set the Company Budget to $100.00.

If an employee’s EvC of FOR on this proposal expresses a preference for a certain department, the CEO should take that into consideration when assigning their department. Otherwise, their department will be randomly assigned such that each department contains a roughly equal number of employees.

The proposal Charity Box was edited at 13 Jan 2022 at 8:17pm, less than one minute after its first vote from Josh. However, it continued to be discussed and voted on for an additional 44 comments, and was enacted with none of the 8 admins noticing that it was edited. Three subsequent proposals were passed and significant game actions were taken that were ostensibly contingent on its passing.

Since Charity Box would have passed even without Josh’s vote, uphold the enactment of Charity Box as if it were posted at 8:18pm, disregarding its first 4 comments. Transfer 5 coins from Zack to Josh since Josh did not have an EVC of FOR on the proposal.

If the DOV “Ashes to Ashes” was failed, add the following to the ruleset as a subrule of “The Campfire at the End of Hell” called “Double Jeopardy”:

The tripper named Zack may make a DOV at any time so long as they have made no more than one DOV within the last 5 days. If it is after 1:37pm on 20 January 2022, any player may remove this paragraph from the ruleset.

According to the rule The Campfire at the End of Hell, “When one Tripper has more than half of the Coins that are in the game, that Tripper has achieved Victory.” There are currently 184 coins in the game, and I have 100 of them. Therefore, I have achieved victory.

Enact a new subrule of “The Campfire at the End of Hell” entitled “Memories” as follows:

There exists a numerically ordered list of Stops, which is publicly tracked. Each Stop has a Name, which is flavor text, and cannot contain the ‘~’ character. Each Tripper has a Favorite Place, which is one of the Stops in that list and which is publicly tracked, defaulting to the last Stop in their numerical listed order. A Stop may also be referred to as a Spot. If a Tripper’s Favorite Place is a given Stop, then the Tripper is said to remember that Stop.

The Campfire Demon is hungry for memories. There exists a game variable called the Demon’s Feasting Grounds, which is one of the Stops in the list of Stops, defaulting to the last Stop in their numerical listed order.

Set the list of Stops to be the same as it was in this wiki revision, without the Capacity or Types elements of that list.

If the interpretations below were already followed, this CfJ does nothing.

Undo the enactment of https://blognomic.com/archive/charity_box, if possible, then redo its enactment, including a fresh random selection, with the interpretation that Causes could only be chosen if the chooser had been “Idle at 13 JAN 2022 19:28:00 UTC”, and also with the interpretation that duplicate Causes (several Causes referencing the same Tripper) only count once for the random selection.

Add the following to “The Campfire at the End of Hell”

If a Tripper has 0 coins, they are broke. Otherwise they are not broke

Add a new subrule of “The Campfire at the End of Hell” called “Besties”

Each Tripper has a Bestie, which is a (possibly idle) Tripper, and is by default themself. The name of each Tripper’s Bestie is publicly tracked. A Tripper may change their Bestie as a daily action.

If this sentence has been in the rules for 24 hours, then any tripper or GPS may remove this entire paragraph. The paragraph below this one is flavor text.

As a daily communal atomic action, any Tripper may first transfer 1 Coin from every not broke Tripper (the giver) whose Bestie is a not broke Tripper who is not the Giver, to the Giver’s Bestie, then reduce the Coins of every Tripper whose Bestie is either not a Tripper, is themselves, or is broke, by 1 (to a minimum of 0).

To the first paragraph of “The Campfire at the End of Hell”, add:-

When a Tripper unidles, their Coins are set to zero.

If Proposal: Scroll Up was not enacted, in the rule The Campfire at the End of Hell, change “All other dynastic rules are flavour text” to “All dynastic rules apart from this one and its subrules are flavour text.”

Add the following as a subrule to the rule The Campfire at the End of Hell, called Acoustic Guitar, with the following text:

Each Tripper has an acoustic guitar, which they are either strumming or not strumming; whether or not a Tripper is strumming their acoustic guitar is publicly tracked, and they are not strumming by default. A Tripper can change whether or not they are strumming at any time, if they have not changed whether or not they are strumming in the preceding 24 hours.

When a Tripper is strumming their acoustic guitar, they are not considered to be a Tripper for the purposes of any dynastic rule except this one (although they retain their value for Coins). As a daily communal action, any Tripper may reduce the Coins of all Trippers who are strumming by 1, to a minimum of zero.

Add a subrule to “The Campfire at the End of Hell” called “Scrolls”:-

In a shattered phone booth just at the edge of the fire’s light, the wanderers find a cache of ancient and rune-laden scriptures suggesting a path back to the world above, or on to others.

Each Tripper has a Scroll, being a flavour text string of no more than 160 characters which is publicly tracked, and which describes their vision for the next dynasty of BlogNomic. A Tripper may change the contents of their own Scroll at any time.

In “The Campfire at the End of Hell”, replace “All other dynastic rules are flavour text.” with “All other dynastic rules (excluding subrules of this rule) are flavour text.”

(although I reserve the right to withdraw this offer if I, er, feel like it, at any moment up until the point that I transfer them to a third party)

So I have these 31 coins burning a hole in my pocket, and while I wouldn’t mind winning I don’t think I’m likely to; so I want to disperse them to maximum effect.

To that end, I am offering endowments, given out in 5, 10 or 20 coin chunks. I’m looking for two things:

1. Dynasty pitches. Please don’t direct me towards discord or the wiki; I want to know what your plan is for mechanics and themes in this thread.
2. Future favours. Hard commitments of favours to be returned to me in the next few dynasties will be looked upon favourably.

Other Trippers with money to burn are of course welcome to use the responses in this thread to inform their own choices.

Each Tripper or Idle Tripper who was Idle at 13 JAN 2022 19:28:00 UTC can choose a single Cause, it being the last Tripper they name in a comment on this Proposal.

Randomly select a Cause, then for each Tripper whose EVC is FOR on this Proposal, give 5 coins (if they have 5) from that Tripper to the selected Cause.

Unidle me please.

Please unidle me

Requesting to be unidled.

If “The Campfire Demon” does not appear in the ruleset, this proposal does nothing

Add the following to “The Campfire at the End of Hell”

A Tripper may cast themselves into the fire by performing the following atomic action: first the Campfire Demon’s power is increased by X/5, rounded up, where X is the number of coins the Tripper had when performing this action. Then the Tripper’s Coins are set to 0. Each Tripper may only perform this action once.

Add a new dynastic rule called “Journey’s End” with the following text

A Tripper’s Route Score is equal to their total coins plus four for each Souvenier they have. A Tripper is a Candidate if their Route Score is at least 15 and they were a Tripper on Tue 11/01/22—22:36:40 UTC.

If every Tripper’s Location is at or after a Final Destination Stop and no Tripper has achieved victory this dynasty, then any Tripper or the GPS may perform the following atomic action:

* Assign each Tripper a Final Route Score equal to their Route Score
* Set the Final Route Score of every Tripper who is not a Candidate to 0.
* Double the Final Route score of every Tripper who was not the GPS of a dynasty during the year 2021
* Roll a DICEN where N is the sum total Final Route Score of every Tripper, calling the result X
* Select the one tripper for whom the sum total Final Route Score of every Tripper whose Name is alphabetically before theirs (Y) is less than X, but for whom if you add their Final Route Score to Y, it is greater than or equal to X.
* Make a post to the blog naming the Tripper selected in the step immediately before this one. That Tripper achieves victory.

Remove the Tripper Clucky from the Alliance of all other Trippers

if “Staunton Lick” does not pass, this proposal does nothing

In “the Campfire at the end of Hell” replace

At any time, a Tripper may give any positive amount of their Coins to another Tripper.

with

At any time, a Tripper may give any positive amount of their Coins to another Tripper, provided the targeted Tripper has a positive number of coins

Add the following to “The Campfire at the End of Hell”

The Campfire Demon has a positive integer power, which by default is 5 and is publicly tracked.

As a daily communal action, a Tripper may carry out the following atomic action:

* Randomly select a Tripper who has a positive number of coins
* Reduce that Tripper’s coins by the Campfire Demon’s power, to a minimum of 0
* Increase the Campfire Demon’s power by 1

Move the Dynastic rule “Event Types” to the Special Case section of the Ruleset, and give it the tag “Inactive.”

Move all Trippers to location 48. Convert any Souveniers held into Coins for their holders at a rate of 2 Coins per Souvenier, and convert all Will into Coins at a rate of 1 Coin per Will. Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called The Campfire at the End of Hell:

All other dynastic rules are flavour text. Trippers have a value for Coins, which must be a non-negative integer and which is publicly tracked.

At any time, a Tripper may give any positive amount of their Coins to another Tripper.

When one Tripper has more than half of the Coins that are in the game, that Tripper has achieved Victory.

If either Proposal: End of the Road or Proposal: Barnsley Chop [Victory] has been enacted, revert its effect, including reverting the award of Victory, should such an award have been made.

Set the Special Case rule “Dynastic Distance” to Inactive, and set the Special Case rule “Malign Emperors” to Active.

If there is a rule called Journeys End, repeal it.

Once, with a dice roller comment of “Victory Chop”, roll DICE100.

On a result of 1-25, Clucky has achieved Victory.
On a result of 26-50, Kevan has achieved Victory.
On a result of 51-75, Josh has achieved Victory.
On a result of 76-85, Tech has achieved Victory.
On a result of 86-88, Raven1207 has achieved Victory.
On a result of 89-94, Trapdoorspyder has achieved Victory.
On a result of 95-100, TyGuy6 has achieved Victory.

Append the result of the dice roll into the admin field of this proposal.

Add a new dynastic rule called “Journey’s End” with the following text

A Tripper’s Route Score is equal to their total coins plus four for each Souvenier they have. A Tripper is a Candidate if their Route Score is at least 15 and they were a Tripper on Tue 11/01/22—22:36:40 UTC.

If every Tripper’s Location is at or after a Final Destination Stop and no Tripper has achieved victory this dynasty, then any Tripper or the GPS may perform the following atomic action:

* Make a post to the blog naming the Tripper selected in the step immediately before this one. That Tripper achieves victory.

Remove the Tripper Clucky from the Alliance of all other Trippers

In the rule Roadside Attractions, change

While at a Roadside Attraction, if a Tripper generates a Souvenier they must disregard the Souvenier Generation rules contained in the rule Roadside Tat, and may instead add a Souvenier called ‘~Selfie of myself~ and x at y’, where x is the number of Buddies at the same location as them and y is the name of the Roadside Attraction.

to

While at a Roadside Attraction, a Tripper may - once before moving - Take a Selfie. When a Tripper Takes a Selfie, they gain a Souvenier called ‘~Selfie of myself~ and x at y’, where x is the number of Buddies at the same location as them and y is the name of the Roadside Attraction.

Remove any identical duplicate Selfie-type Souveniers in the possession of any Trippers. Remove all non-Selife Souveniers from Attraction Stops held by any Trippers, and move any Tripper at any Attraction Stop to the next Stop with sufficient Capacity to take them.

In “Roadside Tat”, replace “Once per Stop, a Tripper may pay 2 Coins to generate a Souvenier from that Stop and acquire it.” with:-

If they do not already have a Souvenier from their current Location, a Tripper may pay 2 Coins to generate a Souvenier from their current Location and acquire it.

If any Trippers are carrying Souveniers from Stops they have never visited, remove those Souveniers from them.

To “Scrapbook”, add:-

If every Tripper’s Location is at or after a Final Destination Stop and no Tripper has achieved victory this dynasty, then the single Tripper with the most Souveniers achieves victory (if tied, the tied Tripper with the most Coins achieves victory; if still tied, the tied Tripper who Drove least recently achieves victory).

Add a new subrule to the rule Gamestate Tracking, called Cross-Nomic Relationships, with the following text:

The player (or idle player) named TyGuy6 is BlogNomic’s PodNomic Correspondent. Any player may ask the GPS to become BlogNomic’s PodNomic Correspondent; if they wish, the GPS then may, at their own discretion, change the name of the player in the first sentence of this bullet point to be that of the requestor.

Add the following as a final bullet point to the Appendix rule Names:

* When changing their name or joining the game for the first time, a Tripper’s (or prospective Tripper’s) new name must be between 4 and 30 characters in length, and may only include the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, numbers, underscores, hyphens, full stops and apostrophes.

If any Tripper’s EVC on this proposal contains the phrase ‘Pick me’, or if any Idle Tripper has made a comment to this proposal with the phrase ‘Pick me’, then change the name TyGuy6 in the rule Cross-Nomic Relationships to be the name of that Tripper or idle Tripper, randomly selecting from all such Trippers if there are multiple. The Tripper or idle Tripper by the name of “dead. The Player named Clucky has achieved Victory” is ignored for the purposes of this paragraph.

In “Road map” replace

unless both selected Types are the same, or one is a Roadside Attraction, in which case the second Type is not applied

with

unless both selected Types are the same, in which case only that one Type is applied; or one is a Roadside Attraction, in which case the other Type is not applied

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Back to School Blues:

If there is no Final Destination stop then the GPS must carry out any actions available to it to legally generate one in the shortest possible amount of time.

In “Stop Effects”, replace “apply the Arrival Effect of that Stop’s Types to the Mover” with:-

apply the Arrival Effect of that Stop’s Types to the Mover, in the order that they are listed for that Stop

In “Road Map”, replace “may have a number of Types” with “may have an ordered list of Types” and for each Stop with more than one Type, consider the order of those Types to be the order they were listed in when first added to the gamestate.

Add the following to Stop Effects

If, in the list of types named in the rule “Stop Effects”, the name of a type of stop has an * at the end of it, that * is not actually part of the name but is instead an indicator to show that type of stop is restricted. If the name of a type of stop which is listed in the rule “Stop Effects” does not have an * at the end of it, that type of stop is not restricted.

A Tripper may spend 3 coins to add any type from among those named in the rule “Stop Effects” which is not restricted to their current stop, or to remove any type from among those named in the rule “Stop Effects” which is not restricted from their current stop

In “Stop Effects” replace “Roadside Attraction - x” with “Roadside Attraction - x*”. In the same rule, if it exists, replace “Information Booth” with “Information Booth*” and replace “Kiosk” with “Kiosk*”

In the rule “Final Destination”, change “If the GPS would create a Stop with an Order number that is equal to the Final Destination Number” to

If any Tripper (or the GPS) would knowingly create a Stop with an Order number that is equal to the Final Destination Number

And in order to be thorough, in the rule “Road Map”, change “the GPS may repeal this paragraph” to

any Tripper (or the GPS) may repeal this paragraph

Replace the second sentence of the Parking Effects for Kiosks with “A Parker may pay 4 Coins to generate a Disposable Camera and acquire it.”

Replace the requirement “They have in their posession a Souvenier from the Attraction Stop they wish to Drive to” from the rule “Roadside Attractions” with “They have in their posession a Souveneir named Disposable Camera” and append to the end of the final paragraph of the rule “Roadside Attractions” the text “When a Tripper generates a Souvenier this way, the Tripper loses an instance of a Souvenier named Disposable Camera.”

If Proposal: Get In Lane passes, replace the first sentence of this proposal with “Add a new Parking Effect named “Information Booth” with its effect defined as “A Parker may pay 4 Coins to generate a Disposable Camera and acquire it.”

Remove the sentence “The members and starting dates of all active Mentorships are tracked on the Mentorships wiki page, and whenever a new Mentorship is established, the GPS should announce it in a blog post.” from the third paragraph of the rule “Mentors” and place it immediately after the first sentence of the second paragraph of that same rule.

Replace the first paragraph of the rule “Final Destination” with:

The Final Destination Number is 66.

In “Road Map” after “Each Stop has a Name, which is flavor text” add ” and cannot contain the ‘~’ character”

Wherever it appears in the rules, or in any Tripper’s list of Souveniers, replace “Selfie of myself” with “~Selfie of myself~”

If there are any Stops with a Type of Kiosk, remove that Type from them.

Remove the Kiosk from the list of Stop Effects.

Add the following to Road Map

A Type of Stop is Due if it appears in the list of Stop Effects, but is not a Type for any of the ten latest stops (i.e. those stops with the highest order number). When randomly selecting Types while creating a Stop, if any Types of Stop are due the GPS or Tripper creating the Stop should only consider Due Types of Stop. For the purposes of this action, a Type of Stop is no longer Due once it has been selected while creating a stop (meaning if only one type of stop is due, it will be selected and then the second type will be selected from all available stop types, while if more than one type of stop is due a different due type of stop will be selected second)

In “Road Map”, replace “the GPS should create and append to the list of Stops a new Stop with a Name of their choice” (in all instances where it appears) with:-

any Tripper (or the GPS) may create and append to the list of Stops a new Stop with a Name of “Darkness”

Add to the end of the rule:-

The GPS may rename a Stop named “Darkness” to a Name of their choice, at any time.

In “Stop Effects”, replace “When generating this stop the GPS must change the x” with:-

When this stop is generated, whoever generates it must change the x

Add a new Special Case rule, called “PodNomic Correspondent [Rare][Inactive]”:

The Tripper whose name is the same as the totality of the second paragraph of this rule is BlogNomic’s Podnomic Correspondent. As a Daily Communal Action, any Tripper may change the second paragraph of this rule to their own name and set it to Inactive.

TyGuy6

Add the following as a final bullet point to the Appendix rule Names:

* When changing their name or joining the game for the first time, a Tripper’s (or prospective Tripper’s) new name must be between 4 and 30 characters in length, and may only include the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, numbers, spaces, underscores, hyphens, full stops and apostrophes.

Add a new rule at the top of the Dynastic Rules, called “TyGuy6”:

... is BlogNomic’s Podnomic Correspondent. As a Daily Communal Action, any Tripper may change the name of this rule to their own name.

Insert the following to “Road Map” immediately before ” If there is a Final Destination Stop in the list of Stops, the GPS may repeal this paragraph.”, being sure not to create any new paragraphs in the process

If there is no Starting Point within the last 13 Stops (i.e. those with the highest order number), the GPS should create and append to the list of Stops a new Stop with a Name of their choice, a Capacity of 30, and a Type of Starting Point.

Add the following to “Will”

A Tripper who is not Ready may Drive by spending Will. To do so, they must spend a number of Will equal to one plus the number of times they have performed the Drive action in the last 24 hours. (If this would require a Tripper to spend more Will than they have, they may not do this)

Belatedly, I declare that Tempo (should they return from idleness) is to be Mentored by Josh until the end of the Ninth Dynasty of Brendan or the date is past 18 January, whichever is later; and that Tech is to be Mentored by Brendan until the end of the Ninth Dynasty of Brendan or the date is past 31 January, whichever is later.

Add a new rule to the appendix, called Podnomic Correspondent:

At any time, up to one single Tripper may be BlogNomic’s Podnomic Correspondent. If there is a BlogNomic Podnomic Correspondent then their name is appended to the end of this sentence, after a colon; if there is no BlogNomic Podnomic then the word ‘none’ will appear at the end of this sentence: none.

If BlogNomic’s Podnomic Correspondent becomes idle, or if there is a BlogNomic Podnomic Correspondent and the most recent three consecutive Episodes of Podnomic have been broadcast without a BlogNomic News Item having been included, then any Tripper may change the name of the BlogNomic Podnomic Correspondent in the paragraph above to ‘none’ or to their own name.

If a single comment in response to this post contains the text “I volunteer”, change the word “none” at the end of the second paragraph of the newly added rule to the name of the author of that comment. If multiple comments in response to this post contains the text “I volunteer”, randomly select one of the unique authors of those comments and change the word “none” at the end of the second paragraph of the newly added rule to the name of the selected author.

In “Movement”, replace “then any other Tripper may move the Ready Tripper to the Starting Point with the highest Order number among all Starting Points” with:-

then any other Tripper may move the Ready Tripper to the Starting Point with the highest Order number among all Starting Points (if that Starting Point is after the Ready Tripper’s current Location) or the Stop with the highest Order number (if there is no Starting Point after the Ready Tripper’s current Location)

After the second paragraph of “Road Map”, add:-

If all Ready Trippers are at a Starting Point, the GPS should create and append to the list of Stops a new Stop with a Name of their own choice, a Capacity of 30, and a Type of “Starting Point”, and then move all Ready Trippers to that Stop.

Change the second paragraph of the rule Ruleset and Gamestate to read as follows:

It comprises four Sections: 1) the “core rules” of BlogNomic, covering the essential elements of gameplay; 2) the rules of the current Dynasty; 3) rules which apply in special cases; and 4) the appendix, which complements and clarifies the Ruleset.

In the rule Tags, change “the “[Appendix]” tag in order to make changes to the Appendix Rules, and the “[Perdurable]” tag in order to make changes to the Perdurable Rules” to read

and the “[Appendix]” tag in order to make changes to the Appendix Rules

Repeal the rule Can Opener.

Remove the Perdurable Rules section from the Ruleset.

Change the first item in the rule Prioritisation to read#

The Appendix has precedence over any other Rule;

Tempo goes idle after 7 days of inactivity. Quorum falls to 4.

I have arrived, a new member of this Trip, and I am here to join the game.

Add the following to Roadside Tat

A Souvenir is Rare if there is not another Souvenir owned by a Tripper from the same stop.  A Souvenir is Unique if there is not another Souvenir owned by a Tripper that has the same Type. Selfies are always Unique, and are considered to be from the location they were taken at.

Add the following to Final Destination

Each Tripper has a Road Trip Score, which by default is undefined and is publicly tracked. When a Tripper (The Arriver)‘s Location becomes the Final Destination stop the following atomic action immediately occurs: First, the Road Trip Score of all Trippers who have a defined Road Trip Score is increased by two, then the Arriver’s Road Trip Score is calculated by doing the following:

* Start with the Arriver’s Coins
* Add three for each souvenir they possess
* Add two for each unique souvenir they possess
* Add three for each rare souvenir they possess
* If they possess three souvenir’s which all have the same type (Selfies are considered to have a type of Selfie), add ten
* If they possess three souvenir which all are from the same location, add ten
* Add two for each Buddy they have

Buddies Road Trip Score’s are calculated simultaneously, and so none of the Buddies gets their Road Trip Score increased from one of their other buddies arriving.

A Tripper whose Road Trip Score is defined is considered to be Finished. Finished Trippers may not perform any dynastic actions, nor may they be the subject of dynastic actions unless those actions specifically mention they apply to Finished Trippers. Finished Trippers also may not change their Alliances.

If every Tripper is either Finished or has been continuously Ready for at least the past 48 hours and BlogNomic has not been in Hiatus for any of the past 48 hours then Tripper with the highest Road Trip Score has achieved victory. If there is a tie, the one (of those tied for the highest Road Trip Score) with the highest will has achieved victory. If there is still a tie, the Tripper or Trippers (of those tied for highest Road Trip Score and highest will) who became Finished first have achieved victory.

Append to the first paragraph of the rule “Final Destination” the following:

If a Stop has the name “Final Destination” then that Stop is considered a Final Destination Stop.

If https://blognomic.com/archive/location_location_location7 was enacted, move TyGuy6 to Stop 26 (Arveg Lane) (even if it is before the Stop named in his current Location) and give him 2 Coins. If the aforementioned CfJ is still Pending, undo the resolution of this present CfJ and make it Pending again (with a “status” field set to “Open”).

Revert any changes made to any Tripper’s Location, Coins, Souveniers or Alliance since this edit to the gamestate: https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=The_Book_of_Trippers&oldid=18432, then enact the effect of Proposal: Double Decker https://blognomic.com/archive/double_decker

If Proposal: Spoiled Lineage was not enacted then this proposal does nothing.

Remove the first item of the rule Prioritisation and move it to the Appendix, immediately before the rule Mentors. Repeal all Perdurable rules.
