Location: Makeshift Tent

In the rule “Items”, add a subrule titled “Snowball Slingshot” and give it the following text:

A Villager who has a Location that is Outside and is holding a Snowball Slingshot may use the Shoot action as described in Roughhousing

In the rule “Items”, in the subrule “Cudgel”, replace this text:

If a villager is holding a Cudgel, they are not a valid target for Roughhousing actions, unless the villager performing that action also has a cudgel.

with this text:

If a villager is holding a Cudgel, they are not a valid target for Roughhousing actions, unless the villager performing that action also has a cudgel, or unless the action is Shoot and the villager performing that action is holding a Snowball Slingshot.

In the rule “Roughousing”, add the following row to the table:

|-
| Shoot || 10 Time || The Actor must start the action in an Outside Location and be holding a Snowball Slingshot, and the Target must be in the same Location || Reduce the Heat of the Target by 0.5

In the rule “Crafting”, add the following bullet to the bulleted list:

* Snowball Slingshot. Prerequisite: Branches, Nails, Electric Gloves. Product: Snowball Slingshot

Remove “Broken 3x” from all Search Multipliers.

I search the Cellar, but legally this time.

Reword the sentence in the rule “Heat” that currently reads “Every Villager has a publicly tracked amount of Heat, representing their core temperature in Fahrenheit, a rational number which may be negative and which defaults to the average of all other Villagers’ Heat rounded down.” to read as follows:

Every Villager has a publicly tracked amount of Heat, representing their core temperature in Fahrenheit, a rational number which may be negative and which defaults to the average of all Conscious Villagers’ Heat rounded down (unless the dynasty is in Endgame Lockdown, in which case it defaults to 0).

Delete from the rule “Heat” the sentence that begins “When a Villager becomes Unidle, their Heat is…”

Reword the sentence in the rule “Goals” that reads “A Villager may add one or more Goals to their own Reject list at any time” to read:

A Villager with fewer than five Goals in their Reject list may add a Goal to their own Reject list at any time.

Please

In “Items”, replace “if they can show a Secret” with “if they have publicly shared a Secret in a blog comment or wiki edit summary”.

I search the Cellar.

If “A selection of victory conditions” is enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the rule “Goals”, add a subrule titled “Winning By Goals” and give it the following text:

A Villager is considered “Near Victory” if all of the following are true:
* Among all of the Villagers who are not Unconscious or Lifeless, at least half of those Villagers (rounded up to the nearest integer) have a non-empty Rejected Goals value
* The Villager has met the conditions of the Active Goals

If only 1 Villager is Near Victory, they achieve victory. If multiple Villagers are Near Victory, the Villager who is Near Victory and has more Heat than any other Villager that is Near Victory achieves victory.

Location: Village Square

It’s a pointy, poky life over here. Location: Makeshift Tent.

In the rule Location, reword “The total Capacity of all Indoors Locations may never exceed the number of Villagers plus 2; if ever it does, the Blizzard must destroy Indoors Locations (by removing them from the table above, and setting the Locations of any Villagers in Locations thus destroyed to the Village Square) until that is no longer the case.” to:

The total Capacity of all Indoors Locations may never exceed the number of Conscious villagers minus 2; if ever it does, the Blizzard must reduce the total capacity of Indoors Locations by reducing the capacity of individual Indoors Locations of their choice until that is no longer the case. There should be a preference towards reducing the Capacity of locations that are over capacity. Any locations reduced to 0 capacity in this way are destroyed (by removing them from the table above, and setting the Locations of any Villagers in Locations thus destroyed to either a Location that had a route to the destroyed one if possible, or to the Village Square if not).

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called The Quiet Village:

If at any time all Villagers are Unconscious or Lifeless, and no Villager has Achieved Victory, then the dynasty ends with no winner; start a new dynasty with no emperor, by posting an Ascension Address with no content, and then repeal all dynastic rules, including this one.

If “Search Radius” is not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the rule “Searches”, add the following bullet point to the bulleted list under the text “The Creation Conditions for a Search are all of the following:”

There is no other Open Search with the same Location in the post as the Villager creating this Search

Add a new location to the table in Locations, as follows:

| Backyard || 100 || Cellar [10], Forest [45] || Broken 3x, Metal 0x, Bulky 1x, Fabric 0x, Organic 2x, Electronic 0x

Give the Cellar a route of Backyard [17]. Add the backyard to the list of Outside locations in the rule Locations.

Add a new location to the table in Locations, as follows:

| Backyard || 100 || Cellar [10], Forest [45] || Broken 3x, Metal 0x, Bulky 1x, Fabric 0x, Organic 2x, Electronic 0x

Give the Cellar a route of Backyard [17].

I begin to search the Cellar again.

Reword the rule Goals to:

The bullet points below in this rule are Victory Conditions. The first Villager to meet all the requirements for one of these victory conditions has achieved victory. Some of these victory conditions have a Victory Cost - paying the Victory Cost when it is legal to do so is a dynastic action with no effects other than those specified in the applicable Victory Condition. (In the case of multiple villagers meeting all of the requirements for a victory condition simultaneously, the first of those villagers to declare victory is the one that is considered to be the one that met the requirements first.)

*Called help: The villager must have constructed a Radio Tower.
*Warmed the settlement: The villager must have constructed a Bonfire.
*Escaped: The villager must be at the Road, and must pay a Victory Cost of 60 time while at the Road at least twice without going unconscious as a direct result of the payments.
*Last person standing: The villager must be the only villager to be conscious. Alternatively, they may be the only conscious villager with a cudgel.
*Boarded themselves in: The villager must be the only one villager who is in an indoors location, and must pay a Victory Cost of 1 Branches.

Create a rule called Constructions with the following text:

There exists a number of entities called Constructions, which each have a location which must be outdoors. Up to one of each type of Construction can exist.

Constructions can be built by villager by spending the Construction Cost from that villager’s Inventory.

Create a table in Constructions with the following header and rows.

Constructions | Cost
Bonfire | Six Items which have the Fabric and/or Organic adjectives. (Branches count as two items for this purpose.)
Radio Tower | A battery with at least 10 charge, and four Items which have the Metal and/or Electric adjectives.

Reword the sentence in the rule “Heat” that reads “Heat is always rounded to one decimal place, rounding towards zero” to read

A Villager’s Heat is always rounded to one decimal place, rounding towards zero.

Remove the bullet “There must be no more than three Searches that are Open” from the rule “Searches”.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Last One Conscious” with the following body:

Location: Village Square

Replace “When a Villager’s Location is Outside or is Draughty, they lose 0.1 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent.” with:-

When a Villager’s Location is Outside, they lose 0.1 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent. When a Villager’s Location is Draughty, they lose 0.05 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent.

Add a new Location to the Locations table called “Cave”, with a Capacity of 2, Routes of “Forest [30], Road [12]” and “Broken 5x, Organic 5x” as its Search Multiplier.

Add “Cave [50]” to the Forest Routes and “Cave [14]” to the Road Routes.

After the sentence “All other Locations are considered to be Indoors.”, add:-

The Cave is always Draughty.

Add a new rule to the ruleset called Crafting:

A Recipe is a method by which Villagers can expend their existing Items to make new ones. A Recipe must have a Prerequisite and a Product. A Villager may at any time expend 10 Time and 0.5 Heat to Craft a Recipe for which they have the Prerequisites in their Items. When they do, they remove the Prerequisite from their Items and add the Product to their Items. Crafted Items never have Adjectives.

Valid recipes are as follows:
* Pressure bomb. Prerequisite: Thermos, Nails, Battery with a Charge of at least 10. Product: Pressure Bomb.
* Quilted Jacket. Prerequisite: Thick Jacket, Electric Gloves, Electric Gloves. Product: Quilted Jacket
* Nailed Bat. Prerequisite: Cudgel, Nails, Nails. Product: Nailed Bat

Add the following four subrules to the rule Items:

Nails:

Has no effect.

Pressure Bomb:

A Villager who has this Item and is in an Indoors Location may destroy this to remove 0.3 Heat from all Villagers at that Location, and make that Location permanently Outside.

Quilted Jacket:

Whenever a Villager with the Quilted Jacket in their Items would lose Heat to Roughhousing, they instead do not.

Nailed Bat:

A Villager holding this Item treats all Roughhousing Time costs as being reduced by 10, to a minimum of 1. Also has the effects of a Cudgel.

Add Nails to the list of Found Items with the (Metal, Sharp) adjective. Give the Village Square and the Makeshift Tent a 2x search multiplier for Sharp.

This is a search in the Makeshift Tent.

Reword the paragraph in the rule “Location” that begins “Each Location has an Action…” to read as follows:

If a Villager’s Location is set to a Location X, then that Villager may be said to be in, at, or occupying X. Each Location may have an associated Task (defaulting to no Task) that Villagers may perform only while occupying that Location; if a Location has a Task, it must also have a listed Task Cost. To perform it, a Villager must undertake an Atomic Action with the following steps:
* Pay the Task Cost
* Carry out the instructions in the Task

No Villager may undertake the Action associated with a Location if that Location is draughty.

Rename the columns “Actions” and “Action Cost” in the Locations table to “Task” and “Task Cost” respectively, considering each Location’s preexisting Action to be its new Task, and its preexisting Action Cost to be its new Task Cost.

Location: Village Square

Add the following to the table in the rule Roughhousing:

| Douse || 10 Time, plus the Time required to travel any Routes between the Actor and the Target || The Actor must start the action in an Outside Location || Move the Actor to the Target’s Location and then reduce the Heat of the Target by 0.3.

In “Searches”, replace “if that Villager is Outside and in the Location of the Search” with:-

if that Villager is in the Location of the Search and the Location is either Outside or non-Draughty

Set the action of the Makeshift Tent to blank.

Set the Search Multipliers of the Pork Curing Shed to “Broken 3x, Metal 2x, Bulky 1x, Fabric 0x, Organic 0x, Electronic 0x”.

Set the Search Multipliers of the Cellar to “Broken 3x, Metal 1x, Bulky 1x, Fabric 1x, Organic 1x, Electronic 1x”.

In the rule “Malign Emperors [Inactive] [Rare]”, replace “The Blizzard may be recipient of the Mantle, as if they were a Villager, during an Interregnum, as per the rule Victory and Ascension.” with:

The Blizzard may achieve victory, declare victory or be recipient of the Mantle, as if they were a Villager, as per the rule Victory and Ascension.

If there is a Location Action defined for the Makeshift Tent, set its Cost to 10 Heat.

Amend the description of that Location Action to read as follows:

Carrying out this action allows a Villager may start or join a Search here once; this location is considered to be Outside for the purposes of the first bullet point of the Ending Action atomic action for the Search event.

Add a new row to the table in the rule “Roughhousing” as follows:

|-
| Rob || 30 Time || The target must be Unconscious, and have the same Location as the actor || The actor removes one Item from the target’s Inventory and thereby adds it to their own Inventory

Enact a new rule, “Endgame Lockdown”:-

A Villager is said to be Conscious if they are not Unconscious.

If no more than three Villagers are Conscious and a dynastic rule other than this one includes the word “victory”, then the dynasty is in Endgame Lockdown. If a proposal made during Endgame Lockdown would attempt to amend the dynastic rules or the gamestate defined by dynastic rules, those amendments instead have no effect.

In the rule “Location”, replace this text in the Actions for the Pork Curing Shed:

If the Villager has 1 or more Meat in their Items

with this text:

If the Villager has 1 or more Meat in their Inventory

In the rule “Items”, in the subrule “Meat”, replace:

A Villager who has at least 1 Meat can spend 5 units of Time to remove 1 Meat from their Items and gain 1 Heat from eating the raw meat

with:

A Villager who has at least 1 Meat in their Inventory can spend 5 units of Time to remove 1 Meat from their Inventory and gain 1 Heat from eating the raw meat

In the rule Location, to the end of the paragraph that begins “Each Location has an Action that Villagers in that location are permitted to perform”, add:

No Villager may undertake the Action associated with a Location if that Location is draughty.

Add the following as the Action for the Makeshift Tent:

A Villager may spend the Action Cost to start or join a Search here; this location is considered to be Outside for the purposes of the first bullet point of the Ending Action atomic action for the Search event.

Give that Action a cost of 10.

Set the Search Multiplier for the Makeshift Tent to be as follows:
Broken 3x, Metal 1x, Bulky 0x, Fabric 2x, Organic 1x, Electronic 1x

Enact a new rule, “Goals”:-

The following Goals exist:

* Signal: A Villager meets this Goal if they are holding a Battery with Charge above zero.
* Eat: A Villager meets this Goal if they have gained Heat through eating Meat during the current dynasty.
* Hoard: A Villager meets this Goal if they are holding three or more Items.
* Burn: A Villager meets this Goal if they are holding Branches.
* Clash: A Villager meets this Goal if they are holding a Cudgel.
* Stand: A Villager meets this Goal if they are not Unconscious.
* Scavenge: A Villager meets this Goal if they are holding a Metal or Electronic Item.
* Live: A Villager meets this Goal if they are not Lifeless.
* Escape: A Villager meets this Goal if they are located at the Road.
* Shelter: A Villager meets this Goal if their Location is not Outside.

Each Villager has a list of up to five Goals that they Reject, tracked publicly. A Villager may add one or more Goals to their own Reject list at any time.

The Importance of a Goal is the number of Villagers’ Reject lists that it does not appear in. The four most Important Goals (breaking ties by whichever appears earlier in the list above) are the dynasty’s Active Goals.

In the rule “Location”, change the Action of Pork Curing Shed to:

If a Villager has 1 or more Meat in their Inventory or Stash, they may remove 1 Meat from their Inventory or Stash to add 5 to their Heat from curing the Meat, cooking it, and eating it

I am Reinitialising because I participated in Searches too many times and wasn’t paying attention to how close to Unconscious I was getting. I got stuck unable to do any meaningful dynastic actions. Even with the qkaj3NQPeWM proposal, the best I could do is Respire and keep my temperature stable, but I can’t move anything from my Stash to my Inventory to help, so there’s no sense in keeping what’s in my Stash.

If “Hard to find solar panels in a forest” is not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the rule “Searches”, replace the sentence that starts with:

The Creation Conditions for a Search are

with this bullet list:

The Creation Conditions for a Search are all of the following:
* There must be no more than three Searches that are Open
* The Villager creating a Search may not have an existing Open Search that they created
* The Villager creating a Search may not have joined another Search that is still Open
* The Villager creating a Search must put their current Location in the body of the post for the Search

Delete the sentences “An Unconscious Villager may not take any dynastic actions except for Respiring, unless they are also Lifeless. When they Respire, they may spend only 1 Time instead of 3, as their frozen body absorbs heat much more effectively. A Lifeless Villager may not take any dynastic actions” from the rule “Heat” and create a new subrule of the rule “Heat” entitled “Unconsciousness” as follows:

A Villager who is Unconscious may not take any dynastic actions except the following:
* Passing the Time
* Updating their Secret, their Jotting, or their Tell
* Spending Time on nothing

In addition, a Villager who is Unconscious but not Lifeless may Respire; when doing so, they may spend only 1 Time instead of 3, as their frozen body absorbs heat much more effectively.

In the rule Location, after the paragraph starting “Each Location has an Action”, add the text:

Each Location has any number of Search Multipliers, which are strings that both have one of the multipliers from the list below, and an Adjective. It may only have one search multiplier for any given adjective.
* 0x
* 1x
* 2x
* 3x
* 6x
* 9x

In the rule Searches, before the sentence “The Villager who created a Search is considered to have joined that Search.”, add the text:

The Location of a Search is the Location in which the Villager who created the Search was in when they created that Search.

In the rule Searches, replace the bullet point with

* For each Villager who joined the Search that is being ended, if that Villager is Outside and in the Location of the Search:
** Reduce their time by 20.
** If their time was successfully reduced by 20, make a list of the different Adjectives that appear in Found Items a number of times equal to the Search Multiplier of that adjective for the Location of the Search (using a multiplier of 0x for adjectives without a Search Multiplier for that Location) and select one Adjective from that list at random.
** For that Villager, if the selected Adjective is not Broken, add it to that Villager’s Inventory.
* Optionally: choose an adjective that was selected the most (or joint most) times in this search and is not Broken, and reduce its Search Multiplier in the ruleset by one step, then increase a different Search Multiplier in that Location by one step.

If “Love of Power” was enacted, add a Search Multiplier column to the table in Location, with the following contents:
Village Square: Broken 3x, Metal 3x, Bulky 2x, Fabric 6x, Organic 1x, Electronic 3x
Road: Broken 3x, Metal 6x, Bulky 3x, Fabric 2x, Organic 2x, Electronic 1x
Forest: Broken 3x, Metal 1x, Bulky 6x, Fabric 2x, Organic 9x, Electronic 0x

If “Love of Power” was not enacted, add a Search Multiplier column to the table in Location, with the following contents:
Village Square: Broken 3x, Metal 3x, Bulky 3x, Fabric 6x, Organic 2x
Road: Broken 3x, Metal 6x, Bulky 3x, Fabric 3x, Organic 2x
Forest: Broken 3x, Metal 1x, Bulky 6x, Fabric 2x, Organic 9x

In the rule “Searches” replace:

Delete the Location “Cellar” from the table of Locations in the rule “Location” and delete any listed routes leading to it from other Locations. For each Villager whose Location was set to “Cellar” at any time while this proposal was pending, set that Villager’s gamestate tracked values to their defaults for new players, and if the Blizzard is privately tracking any information about said Villagers, then they should do likewise at their first opportunity. Consider each such Villager to have Reinitialised, as per the Special Case rule “Reinitialisation.”

In the rule “Items”, add a subrule titled “Solar Panel” and give it the following text:

A Villager in an Outside Location, holding a Solar Panel, and also holding an Item that requires Electricity generates a unit of Electricity for that Item for every unit of Time spent for any reason. Only one such Item may receive Electricity at a time.

In the rule “Items”, add a subrule titled “Battery” and give it the following text:

A Battery holds a Charge value, which is a non-negative integer with a valid range of 0 to 100 inclusive and defaulting to 0. This Charge value is tracked in square brackets next to the Battery item, such as “Battery [23]”.

A Villager holding a Battery and also holding a different Item that requires Electricity may subtract a number from the Charge that reduces the Charge to no less than 0, and generate the same number of units of Electricity for that Item. Only one such Item may receive Electricity at a time.

If the Villager receives Electricity from some other source to the Battery, they may add units of Charge to the Battery equal to the units of Electricity received. Requires Electricity.

In the rule “Items”, add a subrule titled “Electric Gloves” and give it the following text:

A Villager holding Electric Gloves gains 0.1 Heat for every unit of Electricity the Villager receives from some other source. Requires Electricity.

In the subrule “Found Items” of the rule “Searches”, add the following bullet points:

* Solar Panel (Bulky, Metal, Electronic)
* Battery [0] (Metal, Electronic)
* Electric Gloves (Fabric, Electronic)

In “Reinitialisation”, remove “If this Special Case rule has been consistently Active for the last 168 hours then it becomes inactive and any Villager may mark it as such.”

Then replace “As a weekly action, any Villager may” with:-

If they have not already done so in the current dynasty, a Villager may

Maybe I won’t find something Broken this time

In “Heat”, replace “which defaults to 98.6” with “which defaults to the average of all other Villagers’ Heat rounded down”.

For each Villager who Reinitialised while this proposal was pending, reduce their Heat by X where X is equal to 98.6 minus the rounded-down average of all other Villagers’ Heat (at the point at which they took the action).

If “Make Capacity Count” was enacted, this proposal does nothing. Otherwise:

Create a subrule of Location called Over Capacity with the text:

Whenever a Location has more villagers in it than its capacity, it is said to be Over Capacity.

If an Indoors Location is Over Capacity and it has at least one Route to an Outside Location, or has no Routes, it is considered to be Draughty for as long as it is Over Capacity, as is every Indoors Location that is directly or indirectly connected to through only Indoors Routes (where an Indoors Route is defined as any Route that is from an Indoors Location to an Indoors Location).

If an Indoors Location is Over Capacity and it has no Routes to Outside Locations but at least one Route to an Indoors Location, then for as long as it is Over Capacity, the number of Villagers by which it exceeds its capacity is added to the number of villagers in each Indoors Location it has a Route to for the purposes of working out if that Location is Over Capacity.

Replace the line “When a Villager’s Location is Outside, they lose 0.1 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent.” in Location with

When a Villager’s Location is Outside or is Draughty, they lose 0.1 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent.

I’m just a searching fool

Add a new special case rule called Reinitialisation. Give it the Active and Rare tags, and the following text:

If this Special Case rule has been consistently Active for the last 168 hours then it becomes inactive and any Villager may mark it as such. As a weekly action, any Villager may make a post to the blog announcing that they are Reinitialising; if they do so then they must immediately set all of their gamestate tracked values to their defaults for new players, and if the Blizzard is privately tracking any information about them then they should do likewise at their first opportunity. When a Villager has Reinitialised, they are considered to have undertaken no actions in this dynasty for the purposes of determining the validity of limited actions taken after the Reinitialisation, except for the action of Reinitialising itself.

In the subrule “Found Items” of the rule “Searches” replace this bullet:

If “Make Capacity Count” was not enacted, in the Rule “Location”, replace the sentence that begins with:

At any time, Villager at a Location may select one of its Routes

with this paragraph:

At any time, a Villager at a Location may select one of its Routes and spend that Route’s Length in Time to set their Location to the Location named in that Route. If the resulting number of Villagers who have that Location exceeds the Location’s Capacity after this action, the Villager performing this action must either set their Location to “Village Square” or post a Fight event as described in the “Fights” section.

If “Make Capacity Count” was not enacted, in the Rule “Location”, replace this text:

When a Villager’s Location is Outside,

with this text:

When a Villager’s Location is Outside or in a Location where the number of Villagers with that Location exceeds the Capacity of that Location,

Regardless of whether “Make Capacity Count” was enacted or not, add a new rule titled “Fights” and give it the following text:

A Fight is a type of Event. The author of the post is the Instigator, the Villager who is named in the body of the post is the Target, and the Location named in the body of the post is the Destination.

There are two non-negative integer variables specific to the instance of this Event named “Attacker Time” and “Defender Time”. Attacker Time defaults to 20 and Defender Time defaults to 0.

The Creation Conditions for a Fight are all of the following:
* The Instigator’s Location must not be “Village Square” and must contain at least one Location in its Routes
* The Instigator’s Time must be greater than or equal to 20
* The body of the post contains the phrase “I pick a fight to move X to Y”, where X is the name of another Villager with the same Location as the Instigator, and Y is the name of one of the Locations in the Routes of the Instigator’s Location. The Villager “X” becomes the Target, and the Location “Y” becomes the Destination.
* No Villager’s name other than the Target is contained in the body of the post
* No Location other than the Destination is contained in the body of the post
* Neither the Instigator nor the Target are the Instigator or Target in any other Fight event at the date and time that the post is created

The Response Format for a Fight is a comment containing one of the following, but not both:
* “I spend Z Time fighting”, where Z is an integer greater than the current Attacker Time if posted by the Instigator or greater than the current Defender Time if posted by the Target, and less than or equal to the comment author’s current value of Time at the date and time of the comment. If posted by the Instigator, the Attacker Time is set to this value of Z. If posted by the Target, the Defender Time is set to this value of Z.
* “I yield”

The Ending Condition for a Fight is one of the following:
* The most recent comment from either the Instigator or the Target is “I yield”
* The Attacker Time equals the Instigator’s current Time at the date and time of the most recent Response by the Instigator
* The Defender Time equals the Target’s current Time at the date and time of the most recent Response by the Target
* It has been at least 24 hours since this Fight event was posted and none of the other conditions have been met

The Ending Action for a Fight may only be performed by either the Blizzard, the Instigator, or the Target. It is an atomic action with the following steps:
* If the Attacker Time is greater than the Instigator’s Time at the time of this action, set the Attacker Time equal to the Instigator’s Time
* If the Defender Time is greater than the Target’s Time at the time of this action, set the Defender Time equal to the Target’s Time
* Subtract the Attacker Time from the Instigator’s Time
* Subtract 10% of the Attacker Time from the Instigator’s Heat
* Subtract the Defender Time from the Target’s Time
* Subtract 10% of the Defender Time from the Target’s Heat
* If the Instigator has a Cudgel in their Items, multiply the Attacker Time by 2
* If the Target has a Cudgel in their Items, multiply the Defender Time by 2
* If the Attacker Time is greater than the Defender Time, the Target has their Location set to the Destination and loses 25 Time, to a minimum of 0. Otherwise, the Instigator has their Location set to the Destination and loses 25 Time, to a minimum of 0

Any action, except for the Ending Action of the Fight event itself, that would change the Location of the Instigator or the Target while the Fight event is Open instead does not change the Location of the Instigator or the Target.

In “Heat”, replace “At any time, a Villager may Huddle by spending 3 Time to transfer 0.1 Heat from the Villager with the most Heat in their Location to themselves, if they are not the Villager with the most Heat in their Location.” with:-

At any time, a Villager who is not Outside may spend 3 Time to Respire: the Villager(s) with the highest Heat value in their Location each lose 0.1 Heat, then the Villager(s) with the lowest Heat value in their Location each gain 0.1 Heat.

Then replace “Huddling” with “Respiring” and “Huddle” with “Respire”.

Add the following as a new fourth paragraph to the rule Location:

A Location may never have more Villagers in that Location than its Capacity. If a Location is set as the Location of more Villagers than its Capacity then it is Over Capacity. A Villager may not move to a Location that is Over Capacity. Whenever a Location is Over Capacity, any Villager may remove Villagers from that Location, in order from the most recent arrivee, until it is no longer Over Capacity. Villagers thus removed have their Location Set to the first available location by the following heuristic: first, the closest (by Length of Route) non-Outdoor Location that would not be Over Capacity following such a move; second, the closest (by Length of Route) Outdoor Location that would not be Over Capacity following such a move; third, the Village Square.

Add the following Locations to the rule “Location”:-

• A Location called “Road” with Capacity 100 and Routes of “Village Square [10]”.
• A Location called “Forest” with Capacity 100 and Routes of “Village Square [50], Makeshift Tent [50], Pork Curing Shed [50]”.
• A Location called “Cellar” with Capacity 2 and Routes of “Pork Curing Shed [5]”.

Add “Cellar [5]” to Pork Curing Shed’s Routes, add “Road [12], Forest [35]” to the Village Square’s Routes, add “Forest [32]” to the Tent and Shed’s Routes.

Add Road and Forest to the list of locations considered to be Outside.

In the Rule “Location”, add the following paragraph after the paragraph that begins with “Each Location has an integer Capacity”:

Each Location has an Action that Villagers in that location are permitted to perform. It is blank by default, but when it is not blank, it must contain the description of an action that can be taken. Each location also has an Action Cost which is blank by default but if it is not blank, it is the cost of performing the listed action for that Location.

In the Rule “Location”, in the table titled Locations, create an Actions column and an Action Cost column. Set all values in those columns to blank, except for in the row for Pork Curing Shed. Set the Action Cost for Pork Curing Shed to be 10 Time. Set the Action for Pork Curing Shed in the table to:

If the Villager has 1 or more Meat in their Items, remove 1 Meat and add 5 to the Villager’s Heat from curing the Meat, cooking it, and eating it

If the CfJ “HWU2OFOOuW4” has been enacted, this CfJ has no further effect. If the CfJ “HWU2OFOOuW4” has not been enacted, fail it.

In the rule “Heat”, replace “transfer 0.1 Heat from the Villager with the most Heat in their Location to themselves” with:-

transfer 0.1 Heat from the Villager with the most Heat in their Location (if only a single such a Villager exists) to themselves

In the rule “Searches”, replace

The Ending Action for a Search may only be performed by either the Blizzard or the Villager who created that Search, and may not be performed for a given Search if that Search has been Open for less than 24 hours; it is an atomic action with the following steps:

with

The Ending Condition for a Search is that it has been Open for at least 24 hours. A Search may only be Ended by either the Villager who created that Search or the Blizzard. The Ending Action of a Search is an atomic action with the following steps:

Remove the following bullet point from the Ending Action of a Search:

*post a comment on the Search being ended with the text “This Search is complete.”

In the rule Roughhousing, change the effect of Shove to:

The target loses 25 Time (to a minimum of zero) and has their Location changed to the Outside Location to which it has the route with the lowest Length (out of all of its Routes to Outside Locations). In the case of a tie, the Outside Location that comes first alphabetically out of its Routes is chosen. If the target fails to change location due to no such route existing, they instead have their Location changed to the Indoors Location to which it has the route with the lowest Length. In the case of a tie, the Location that comes first alphabetically out of its Routes is chosen. If the target failed to change location due to no routes existing in its location, this Shove is an illegal action.

Revert Kevan’s undoing of Brendan’s Huddle action (which undoing took place at 11:37 on 12 February 2023‎).

Reword the sentence in the rule “Heat” that begins “At any time, a Villager may Huddle…” to:

At any time, a Villager may Huddle by spending 3 Time to transfer 0.1 Heat to themselves from any Villager who both shares a Location with the Huddling Villager and has more Heat than the Huddling Villager.

If the sentence “ A Villager with Heat of 72 or lower is considered Lifeless” exists in the Ruleset, then reword it to

A Villager with Heat of 72 or lower is considered Lifeless, but not Unconscious.

If the sentence “A Lifeless Villager may not take any dynastic actions” exists in the ruleset, then reword it to

A Lifeless Villager may not take any dynastic actions except as specified in the rule “The Lifeless.”

Append to the rule “Heat” the following:

A Villager who is neither Unconscious nor Lifeless is considered to be Conscious.

Enact a new rule entitled “The Lifeless” as follows:

A Lifeless Villager may Pass the Time in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

A Lifeless Villager may spend Time on nothing in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

A Lifeless Villager may use Routes to change Locations in the same way as a Conscious Villager, unless their Location would thus be changed to any Indoors Location. A Lifeless Villager may spend double a Route’s Length in Time to change their own Location at the same time as another, Unconscious, Villager’s Location—as in the rule “Carrying”—in the same way as a Conscious Villager, unless their Location would thus be changed to any Indoors Location.

A Lifeless Villager may post a Response to, and thereby join, an Open Search in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

A Lifeless Villager may Roughhouse another Villager in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

A Lifeless Villager may update their Secret, their Jotting and their Tell in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

If there exists a rule entitled “Usurping the Mantle” then append to the rule “The Lifeless” the following:

A Lifeless Villager may Usurp the Mantle in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

If there exists a sentence beginning “A Villager may remove an Adjective from their Inventory…” in the ruleset, then append to the rule “The Lifeless” the following:

A Lifeless Villager may add Items from a Search to their Stash, and remove an Adjective from their Stash to add an Item with that Adjective to their Inventory, in the same way as a Conscious Villager.

Let’s see what else we can find

If “Survivor’s Gelt” failed, add to “Secrets and Tells”:-

Where gamestate information is described as secretly tracked, each Villager tracks that information as pertains to their own gamestate in their own Secret.

In “Items”, replace “Each Villager has a publicly tracked list of zero or more Items, defaulting to no Items.” with:-

Each Villager has a visible Inventory, which is a publicly tracked list of zero or more Items and zero or more Adjectives. Each Villager also has a Stash, which is a secretly tracked list of zero or more Items. A Villager is only considered to be holding an Item if it is present in their Inventory.

In “Searches”, replace “select a random entry from the list of Found Items. Then—if the selected entry is not Nothing—add it to that Villager’s Items” with:-

make a list of the different Adjectives that appear in Found Items and select one Adjective from that list at random. Then—if the selected Adjective is not Broken—add it to that Villager’s Inventory.

Reword the “Found Items” rule to:-

The following is a list of Items and, in brackets, the Adjectives that that Item has.

* Debris (Broken)
* Thermos (Metal)
* Thick Jacket (Bulky, Fabric)
* Branches (Bulky)
* Cudgel (Bulky, Metal)

To the end of “Searches”, add:-

Within 24 hours of the closure of any Search, a Villager may (if they have not already done so for that Search) add an Item to their Stash, where that Item has the Adjective that they gained from that Search.

To “Items”, add:-

A Villager may remove an Adjective from their Inventory to move an Item with that Adjective from their Stash to their Inventory, if they can show a Secret that confirms that the Item is in their Stash, or if there is only one Item with that Adjective.

Replace “A Villager with a Thermos” with “A Villager holding a Thermos”; replace “Any time a Villager would lose any amount of Heat” with “Any time a Villager holding a Thick Jacket would lose any amount of Heat”; replace “A villager who is Outside and has Branches” with “A villager who is Outside and holding Branches”.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Usurping the Mantle:

If the game is in Interregnum then no Ascension Address may be posted, nor may the mantle be passed, until at least 24 hours have elapsed since the enactment of the most recent Declaration of Victory.

Usurping the Mantle is an action that may only be performed under the following conditions:
*The game is in interregnum
*The performer has a Secret that contains the name of exactly one other Villager
*The performer’s Secret has not been changed in the preceding 72 hours
*The Villager named in the performer’s Secret is the Villager who ascended to Blizzard as a result of the most recently enacted Declaration of Victory.

If all of these conditions are not met then Usurping the Mantle cannot be performed.

Usurping the Mantle is an action in which a Villager posts their Secret, their Jotting and their Tell in a new post to the Blognomic Blog. If, after 24 hours of interregnum, a single Villager has legally Usurped the Mantle, then that Villager becomes Blizzard and all other Blizzards cease to be Blizzard. If, during an interregnum, multiple Villagers attempt to Usurp the Mantle then no Villagers Usurp the Mantle and the status of Blizzard is unchanged. Otherwise, the current Blizzard remains Blizzard.

In the Rule “Location”, add the following paragraph after the paragraph that begins with “Each Location has a Capacity”:

Each Location has an Action, which is blank by default, but when it is not blank must contain the description of an action that can be taken, followed by a non-negative integer in square brackets, referred to as the Cost of that Action. Any Villager in that Location may spend that Cost in Time, then perform the Action specified for that Location.

In the Rule “Location”, set the Action for the Pork Curing Shed to:

If the Villager has 1 or more Meat in their Items, remove 1 Meat and add 5 to the Villager’s Heat from curing the Meat, cooking it, and eating it [10]

In the Rule “Items” add a subrule titled “Meat” and give it the following text:

A Villager who has at least 1 Meat can spend 5 units of Time to remove 1 Meat from their Items and gain 1 Heat from eating the raw meat

If the phrase “spend that Route’s Length in Time to set their Location to the Location named in that Route.” exists in the rule “Locations” then reword that phrase to

spend that Route’s Length in Time to set their Location to the Location named in that Route, unless the number of Villagers who have that Location already equals or exceeds the Location’s Capacity.

Add the following to the list of Found Items:

* Nothing
* Nothing
* Nothing
* Nothing
* Nothing
* Nothing

If there is any Location such that a number of Villagers greater than that Location’s Capacity have it set to be their Location, then randomly select a Villager from the set of Villagers with that Location, and change their Location to be Village Square (or Outside if there is no Location called Village Square); repeat this process until there are no Locations which qualify.

I may be technically unconscious and indoors, but I have high hopes for this one.

In “Heat”, replace “a non-integer which may be negative” with:-

a rational number which may be negative

In the rule “Searches”, add the following text at the end of the rule:

The Villager who created a Search is considered to have joined that Search.

If Proposal: The Last Biscuit was not enacted then this proposal has no further effect.

Add the following to the end of the rule Secrets and Tells:

When any gamestate information that is described as ‘secretly tracked,’ each Villager tracks such element of that information as pertains to their own gamestate in their own Secret.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Gelt:

Each Villager has an amount of Gelt, which must be a non-negative integer and which is secretly tracked.

Each non-Outside Location has a Wealth, which is the total amount of Gelt held by Villagers in that location. The Wealth of each Location is not tracked, and can only be derived from the Secrets of the Villagers occupying that Location.

Add a new rule to the ruleset as a subrule to the rule Searches, called Scraping:

Scraping is a type of Search which can only be carried out in an Outside Location. A Search is a Scraping if its title contains the word ‘Scraping’. Starting or joining a Scrape costs 20 Time, and both starting and joining a Scrape my only be done by Villagers whose Locations are Outside; any Villager who is party to an open Scrape may not change their Location.

If the EVC of the Blizzard contains the text “no problem”, add the following to the end of the rule Gelt:

Within 24 hours of the closure of any Scrape, the Blizzard should secretly randomly generate a number between 1 and 3 inclusive for each of of its participants. Any participant for whom the result is a 1 also finds a Gelt; the Blizzard should directly communicate with them to relay that fact.

Otherwise, add the following to the end of the rule Gelt:

Within 24 hours of the closure of any Scrape, the Villager who created it should secretly randomly generate a number between 1 and 3 inclusive for each of of its participants. Any participant for whom the result is a 1 also finds a Gelt; the determining Villager should directly communicate with them to relay that fact.

If the Proposal “I May Be Some Time” did not pass, this Proposal has no effect.

Rename the Location “Outside” to “Village Square”; change the default location in the rule “Location” to “Village Square”. Set the Location of each Villager with a Location of “Outside” to “Village Square”.

In the rule “Location”, insert the following before the paragraph that begins “When a Villager’s Location is Outside”:

The following locations are considered to be Outside:
* Village Square
All other Locations are considered to be Indoors.

In the same rule, replace

Each Location has a Capacity, which is an integer between 1 and 3 inclusive (except Outside)

with

Each Location has an integer Capacity, which must be between 1 and 3 inclusive for Indoors Locations.

and

the Blizzard must destroy non-Outside Locations (by removing them from the table above, and setting the Locations of any Villagers in Locations thus destroyed to Outside)

with

the Blizzard must destroy non-Outside Locations (by removing them from the table above, and setting the Locations of any Villagers in Locations thus destroyed to the Village Square)

If the Proposal “I swear to god I will turn this makeshift tent around” passed, replace “to which Outside has a Route” in the Grapple Roughhousing with “to which their Location has a Route”.

If the Proposal “Raiding houses” passed, replace “the Heat of everyone outside” in the description of Branches with “the Heat of everyone in their Location”. Additionally, add the Cudgel to the list of Found Items if it’s not already in it.

Throughout the ruleset, replace “non-Outside” with “Indoors”.

If the Proposal “Tapping the Thermometer” or “I May Be Some Time” did not pass, this Proposal has no effect.

Append the following paragraphs to the rule “Heat”:

At any time, a Villager may Huddle by spending 3 Time to transfer 0.1 Heat from the Villager with the most Heat in their Location to themselves, if they are not the Villager with the most Heat in their Location.

A Cold Villager must treat all Routes as if they had a Length of 2 higher, as they are too cold to move effectively.
An Unconscious Villager may not take any dynastic actions except for Huddling, unless they are also Lifeless. When they Huddle, they may spend only 1 Time instead of 3, as their frozen body absorbs heat much more effectively.
A Lifeless Villager may not take any dynastic actions.

If the proposal “I May Be Some Time” has been enacted then rewrite the sentence in the rule “Locations” that begins “At any time, Villager at a Location…” to read:

At any time, Villager at a Location may select one of its Routes and spend that Route’s Length in Time to set their Location to the Location named in that Route.

If the proposals “Tapping the Thermometer” and “I May Be Some Time” have both been enacted then create a subrule of “Locations” entitled “Carrying” with the following text:

If a given Villager is Unconscious, and a second Villager who is not Unconscious has the same Location as that Unconscious Villager, then at any time, the second Villager may select one of their Location’s Routes and spend double that Route’s Length in Time to set both their Location and the Location of the Unconscious Villager to the Location named in that Route.

If the proposals “STzgXXU6GpI” or “I swear to god I will turn this makeshift tent around” or “I May Be Some Time” failed, this proposal does nothing.

Add the following to the list in the rule “Found Items”:

*Dire Malady

Add the rule Dire Malady as a subrule of Items:

A Villager holding a Dire Malady is said to be infected. Heat loss (including Heat payments) is quadrupled for infected Villagers, and they are incapable of using Roughhousing actions. If a Villager (here referred to as the Uninfected Villager) meets all of the following conditions, they gain a Dire Malady:
*The Uninfected Villager has cumulatively spent at least 40 Time in their current location since the last time they arrived there.
*An infected Villager has continually been in that same location while at least 40 of that Time was spent. Only Time spent while the infected villager is infected is counted.
*That location is not Outside.

If the proposal STzgXXU6GpI failed, this proposal does nothing.

Add the following to the list in the rule “Found Items”:

*Thermos
*Thick Jacket
*Branches
*Cudgel

Add the following subrules to items:

Thermos:

Each thermos has a publicly tracked non-negative integer value called its Heat, defaulting to 50. A Villager with a Thermos may Make Tea: they pay an amount of Heat from a thermos they are holding to increase the Heat of any villager in the same room as them by that amount. A Villager is permitted to target themselves with that action. If a Villager has targetted a Villager with this action, they may not do so again to that same Villager within 24 hours.

Thick Jacket:

Any time a Villager would lose any amount of Heat, they lose half that amount instead. (This item has no effect if it would reduce the heat loss to zero.)

Branches:

A villager who is Outside and has Branches may Start a Fire: They destroy the branches, and increase the Heat of everyone outside by 10. Any thermos being held by any villagers outside have their heat increased by 20.

Cudgel:

If a villager is holding a Cudgel, they are not a valid target for Roughhousing actions, unless the villager performing that action also has a cudgel.

Replace the final bullet point in Searches with

for each Villager who joined the Search that is being ended, if that Villager is Outside: Reduce their time by 20. If their time was successfully reduced by 20, select a random entry from the list of Found Items. Then—if the selected entry is not Nothing—add it to that Villager’s Items.

If the proposal Tapping the Thermometer was enacted, divide all numbers in the rules Thermos and Branches by 10 (except “24 hours”).
If the proposal I swear to god I will turn this makeshift tent around failed or I May Be Some Time failed: Remove the rule Cudgel. Remove the Cudgel from the rule Found Items.

In “Heat”, replace “Every Villager has a publicly tracked integer amount of Heat which may be negative and defaults to 100. Any attempt to change a Villager’s Heat to a value above 100 instead sets it to 100.” with:-

Every Villager has a publicly tracked amount of Heat, representing their core temperature in Fahrenheit, a non-integer which may be negative and which defaults to 98.6. Heat is always rounded to one decimal place, rounding towards zero.

Replace “A Villager with Heat below 0 is considered Frozen.” with:-

A Villager with Heat of 100 or higher is considered Feverish. A Villager with Heat of 92 or lower is considered Cold. A Villager with Heat of 85 or lower is considered Unconscious. A Villager with Heat of 72 or lower is considered Lifeless.

Replace “lose 1 Heat” with “lose 0.1 Heat” throughout the ruleset. If “I swear to god I will turn this makeshift tent around” enacted, change “5 Heat” in the cost of Shove to “0.5 Heat”.

Multiply every Villager’s Heat by 0.986.

Enact a new rule, “Secrets and Tells”:-

Each Villager has a Secret, being a text string tracked privately by themselves. Each Villager has a publicly tracked Tell, which may be a text string or blank.

The hash of a string is defined as the MD5 output for that string at https://www.md5hashgenerator.com

Whenever a Villager changes their Secret, they must privately note down a string that consists of their Secret plus any number of words which do not appear in the ruleset (this string being known as their Jotting), and update their Tell to be the hash of that Jotting.

Villagers are recommended to maintain a private record of their Jottings over the course of the game, in case a later rule requires them to prove what their Secret was at a particular point in the game history.

If Proposal: I May Be Some Time was not enacted then this proposal has no further effect.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Roughhousing:

At any time, a Villager may select another Villager (the target) and Roughhouse them.

Roughhousing is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Select a type of Roughhouse from the list in this rule, whose restriction is met
* Pay its cost, as specified
* Implement its effects as stated in this rule
* Make a post to the blog detailing the type of Roughhousing used, its target, and the impact of it having taken place.

There are a number of types of Roughhousing, detailed below. Each type of Roughousing has a cost, a restriction, and an effect.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Roughhousing
|-
! Name !! Cost !! Restriction !! Effect
|-
| Shove || 45 Time, 5 Heat || The target must be in the same, non-Outside, Location as the actor || The target has their Location changed to Outside, and loses 25 Time (to a minimum of zero)
|-
| Grapple || 50 Time || The actor must be Outside and the target must in in a non-Outside Location to which Outside has a Route || The target and the actor switch Locations, and the target loses 30 Time (to a minumum of zero)
|}

If the Proposal “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, or The Wheel of Time Turns have failed then this proposal does nothing instead.

Create a new rule titled “The Alien comes back from Exile”:

The Alien is a entity that haunts the Quiet Village.
The Alien have a Location that defaults to Outside; a Heat that is a integer defaulting at 60 and a Time that is a nonnegative integer defaulting at 0 publicly tracked.
The Alien modifies Time and Heat as if they are a Villager.
Whenever the Alien would lose Heat; if there are Villagers who has the same Location variable with the Alien they must choose a random Villager with the Location variable the same as the Alien and they lose Heat instead.
Whenever there exists no Villager who have a positive Heat and the Alien have a Heat that is positive; repeal all dynastic rules, fail all Pending Proposals and start a new Dynasty with the name “The Second Dynasty of the Alien”.

This CfJ does nothing.

If there is a rule called Location, rewrite it as follows:

There exist a number of Locations, which are detailed in this rule.

Every Villager has a publicly tracked Location, defaulting to “Outside”.

Each Location has a Capacity, which is an integer between 1 and 3 inclusive (except Outside), and any (non-negative) number of Routes, which may names of other Locations followed by a non-negative integer number in square brackets, referred to as the Length of that Route (eg The Laboratory [12]).

At any time, Villager at a Location may select on of its Routes, spend that Route’s Length in Time, then set their Location to the Location named in that Route.

The available Locations are as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Locations
|-
! Name !! Capacity !! Routes
|-
| Outside || 100 || Makeshift Tent [24], Pork Curing Shed [18]
|-
| Makeshift Tent || 2 || Outside [20], Pork Curing Shed [16]
|-
| Pork Curing Shed || 2 || Outisde [22], Makeshift Tent [18]
|}

When a Villager’s Location is Outside, they lose 1 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent.

The total Capacity of all non-Outside Locations may never exceed the number of Villagers plus 2; if ever it does, the Blizzard must destroy non-Outside Locations (by removing them from the table above, and setting the Locations of any Villagers in Locations thus destroyed to Outside) until that is no longer the case.

If there are rules called Outside or Makeshift Tent, repeal them.

I would like to be unidled.

Yo yo yo it has been a MINUTE but seems like unidling is in vogue right now

requesting to be unidled, can’t to it myself because mobile, yada yada yada

Enact a new rule entitled “Items” as follows:

Each Villager has a publicly tracked list of zero or more Items, defaulting to no Items. Items may not be traded or transferred between Villagers.

Enact a new rule entitled “Searches” as follows:

A Search is a type of Event. The Creation Conditions for a Search are that there must be no more than three Searches that are Open, and that the Villager creating a Search may not have an existing Open Search that they created.

The Response Format for a Search is a comment with the text “I join the search.” A valid Response means that the Villager who responded is considered to have joined the Search. However, if a Villager has joined another Search that is currently Open, they may not join any other Search; any attempt to do so is not considered a valid Response.

The Ending Action for a Search may only be performed by either the Blizzard or the Villager who created that Search, and may not be performed for a given Search if that Search has been Open for less than 24 hours; it is an atomic action with the following steps:
* post a comment on the Search being ended with the text “This Search is complete.”
* for each Villager who joined the Search that is being ended, select a random entry from the list of Found Items and then—if the selected entry is not Nothing—add it to that Villager’s Items.

Enact a subrule of “Searches” entitled “Found Items” as follows:

* Nothing

Unidle me please

If the Proposal “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

Create a new subrule of “Location”, titled “Makeshift Tent”, and give it this text:

Makeshift Tent is Adjacent to Outside with a cost of 24

If the Proposal’s Baby It’s Cold Outside and or The Wheel of Time Turns have failed the this proposal does nothing.


Create a new rule titled: THE ALIEN AGAIN

The Alien is an entity to be treated like a player and, by default it has a heat of 60, and a time of 0.

When The Alien would lose heat, instead a different player in their location loses that amount of heat.
If everyone but The Alien is frozen, The Alien “wins” this dynasty and repeal all rules but this one and start a new meta-dynasty referred to as “THE SECOND DYNASTY OF THE ALIEN”

Create a new dynastic rule, titled “Location”:

There exist a number of Locations, which are subrules of this rule. Every Villager has a publicly tracked Location, defaulting to “Outside”. If two Locations are described as Adjacent with a given cost, then a Villager at one Location in the pair may spend the Adjacency’s cost in Time, then set their Location to the other Location in the pair.

Create a new subrule of “Location”, titled “Outside”:

When a Villager’s Location is Outside, they lose 1 Heat for each unit of their Time that is spent.

Create a new dynastic rule, titled “Time”:

Every Villager has a publicly tracked non-negative integer amount of Time. Any attempt to change a Villager’s Time to a value above 60 instead sets it to 60, and the excess Time is considered to be spent by that Villager on nothing. At any time, a Villager may spend any amount of Time on nothing.

At any time, any Villager or the Blizzard may Pass the Time by performing the following atomic action:
* Increase the Time of every Villager by one for every time the real-life hour has changed since this action was last performed.

The date and time of the last Pass the Time action to be performed is publicly tracked.

Create a new dynastic rule, titled “Heat”:

Every Villager has a publicly tracked integer amount of Heat which may be negative and defaults to 100. Any attempt to change a Villager’s Heat to a value above 100 instead sets it to 100.

When a Villager becomes Unidle, their Heat is set to the average of all other Villagers’ Heat rounded down, unless the last legally endowed value it held is lower in which case the Villager retains the lower value.

A Villager with Heat below 0 is considered Frozen.

Day 142

It’s starting to seem like the snow is never going to end… the power went out a month ago, and I have a feeling it’s not coming back on again. We should be in the middle of summer right now, and yet here we are slowly freezing to death. My fellow villagers and I have been reduced to spending our days huddling around the fire. We’re down to our last pallet of wood. I can only hope this ends before one of us has to endure this apparently infinite blizzard to go cut some more.

Repeal all dynastic rules.
The theme for the dynasty shall be “Snowed In”.
Change the gamestate tracking page to “Quiet Village”.
Change the synonym for Player to “Villager” and the synonym for Emperor to “Blizzard”.

I Pass the Mantle to Habanero.

Thread for post dynasty discussion.

According to the rule It’s About The Cones, I am the only Suzerain who controls 4 distinct Cones. Therefore; I achieved Victory.

In the rule “Buildings”, change the effect of the Library Building to read:

As a Harvest Bonus, the owner of this building may apply the Harvest Bonuses of any two other buildings in your Settlement once. This does not count towards any limits on Harvest Bonuses you can take, and may be done in addition to the one time you would normally be able to activate the Harvest Bonuses of a building you control.

If any Settlers triggered the Effect of the Library in such a way that it would be illegal under this revised wording, revert the effects that resulted from those Settlers triggering it.

I will trade 3 stone to Habanero in turn for 3 jute

Reword the rule “The Dice Deck” to the following:

The Dice Deck is a publicly-tracked list of numbers, and is empty by default.

The Production of Resources is an atomic action with the following steps:

* If the Dice Deck contains fewer than 4 different numbers, or if it contains less than 6 numbers in total, set the list to the following list of numbers: 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11 and 12.
* Remove an element at random from the Dice Deck: its number is the first result of this action
* Remove another element at random from the Dice Deck (skipping those where the number is the same as the first result): its number is the second result of this action
* Remove another element at random from the Dice Deck (skipping those where the number is the same as the first result): its number is the third result of this action
* Clear all names from the Injured list. Then, if the current Visitor is the Corsair, carry out the Corsair Landing atomic action.
* If either of the first two results of this action are a 7, set the Visitor to be the Visitor (if any) who has the third result of this action as their Fanfare, or “None” if no Visitor has the other result of this action as their Fanfare.
