Add the following to “Style”

Each Wizard has a Freshness, which by default is 3. A Wizard is considered to be Fresh if their Freshness is greater than 0. Anything that would set a Wizard’s Freshness below 0 sets it to 0 instead.

Change the effect of “Expose” to be

Every non Fresh Wizard participating in the Duel loses 1 star for each of their styles which is None

Add the following step to the atomic action “Commencing a Duel”, right after “Apply the effects of the Duel’s selected Gewgaws, if any, that occur after spells are cast”

Reduce the Freshness of every Wizard by 1

Set the Freshness of every Wizard who was not idle on Wed 01/11/23—00:30:27 UTC to be 0.

Add a new spell called “Disarm” with the effect “The wizard in the targeted position’s Staff becomes None. For the remainder of this Duel, if they cast a spell targeting a position in the wizards ring they instead target the position one more than it (wrapping back around to the first position if needed).”

Add a new spell called “Trim” with the effect “The wizard in the targeted position’s Beard becomes None and pays 1 star to the Wizard casting this spell (If they do not have a star, their beard is still set to none by no payment is made)”

Add a new spell called “Defrock” with the effect “The wizard in the targeted position’s Robes becomes Plain. For the remainder of this Duel they do not lose any stars from the effects of Burn spells”

Make Disarm, Trim, Defrock and Gust all have the Belligerent trait and a speed of 2

If there is currently an open duel, a Wizard may Request a singular Gewgaw to be added to the next duel by sending a private message to the Battle Master informing them of this request. A Wizard may also send another message to change their request, or to stop requesting a Gewgaw.

The Battle Master should uphold all private messages sent to them by a Wizard requesting a Gewgaw or to change or cancel their request as if they had been legally sent, even if they were sent prior to this rule’s enactment. When the Battle Master creates a new duel post, they may remove this paragraph from the ruleset

In “Creating a Duel”

Randomly roll DICE6. On a 2, 3, 4 or 5, randomly select 1 Gewgaw to affect this Duel. On a 6, randomly select 2 different Gewgaw to affect this Duel, rerolling duplicates. When a Gewgaw is randomly selected, it is done so by secretly randomly picking a Wizard who requested a Gewgaw while the previous duel was open, and selecting the Gewgaw that they requested. If the Battle Master is unable to complete this step because fewer Gewgaw were requested than are required to be added, then the remaining Gewgaw selections for this duel are skipped

In “Engaging in a Duel”, after “privately communicating with the Battle Master the name of the spell and any inputs for that spell.” add:-

There is one Gewgaw for this duel: Bonsai Volcano

Idling myself. Quorum falls to 5.

Remove “Whenever a Spell’s Effect relies on information about another Wizard’s personal gamestate in order to resolve (eg how many Stars that Wizard has, what kind of Style their Hat is etc), the frame of reference for that information is the moment immediately before the duel was resolved.” from the ruleset

In the rule “Misdirection”, set the Speed to 10

Create a new Spell called “Gust” as a subrule of rule 2.2 with the following text:

Inputs: A numerical position in the Wizard Ring
Effect: The wizard in the targeted position’s Hat becomes None. For the remainder of this Duel, they don’t lose stars from the effects of Doom Cloud spells.
Speed: 2

Add a new rule called “Crystals” and give it the following text

Each Wizard has a publicly tracked number of Crystals which is by default 0. A Wizards Star Power is equal to their Stars, plus five times the number of crystals they have.

If a Wizard ever has 0 stars but more than 0 crystals, they immediately lose 1 crystal and gain 5 stars

Add a new spell called “Crystalize” with a cost of 5 and the effect “Gain a Crystal”

Add a new spell called “Detonate” with an effect “If you have at least 1 crystal, reduce your crystals by 1 and reduce all other players stars by 5. Otherwise nothing happens.”

Snisbo is un-idled. Quorum remains at 5.

Append to the Special Case rule “Dynastic Tracking” the following:

When a Wizard updates the gamestate tracking page, that edit is considered equivalent to posting an entry or comment, exclusively for the purposes of determining whether that Wizard can be rendered Idle by an Admin per the rule “Idle Wizards.”

Unidle the Wizard named Snisbo

Treat all private communication between the Wizard named Snisbo and the Battle Master during the current duel as if the Wizard named Snisbo was an active Wizard when those communications were sent

Snisbo has idled out after 96 hours (reduced timer mentioned at this link). Quorum remains at 5.

Create a new rule entitled “Rituals” as follows:

Some Dynastic Actions are Ritual Actions, which any given Wizard can perform no more than once in the intervening period of time between the Commencements of two successive Duels.

Add a new rule to the Appendix called “Flair” as follows:

Flair is a type of wiki template used to style the Ruleset. The Battle Master may freely add or remove flair from the Dynastic Rules, except where regulated by the ruleset. Flair has no effect on the rules or gamestate unless specified by the ruleset.

To add a flair to the ruleset:
* For single-line flair, insert <nowiki>{{Flair|Flair name}}</nowiki> between two lines of wikitext.
* For multi-line flair, insert <nowiki>{{Flair top|Flair name}}</nowiki> before the first line and <nowiki>{{Flair bottom}}</nowiki> after the last.

To create a new flair, a Wizard or Idle Wizard can create a wiki page called “Template:Flair/Flair name.css” where “Flair name” is the name of the flair. The CSS styles of a flair may not add or remove text from the ruleset, or otherwise obscure/alter the contents of the ruleset except in appearance. Any Wizard or Idle Wizard may edit a flair’s CSS if it is not in the ruleset, or if it does not meet these criteria, to make it so.

The wiki page [[List of Flairs]] is flavourtext and should be kept up-to-date with a list of all available flairs.

Add the following new rule called “Guilds” directly after “Wizards”:

Every Wizard may belong to exactly one Guild, which is tracked on the Duel Sheet. A Guild must have a name, and may have a colour and a familiar (which are flavourtext). A Guild is said to have a number of stars equal to the sum of stars held by its members.

Any wizard may create a guild if they have not done so within the last 7 days. When a Wizard creates a guild they automatically join that guild and become its Archmage.

A Wizard may leave their current guild or join a Guild if they have not changed their Guild since the last Duel. If a Wizard joins a Guild and is expelled from that same Guild before the next Duel commences, they may join another guild they are not expelled from.

Add the following subrule to “Guilds” called “Archmages”:

Each Guild has an Archmage, which defaults to the member of that Guild with the most Stars. If the Archmage of a Guild leaves that Guild, they cease to be the Archmage of that Guild.

An Archmage may change their Guild’s name, color, and/or familiar if it hasn’t been changed within the last 96 hours (4 days) by making a Story Post on the blog announcing the changes.

Add the following subrule to “Guilds” called “Expulsion”:

The Archmage of a guild may expel a Wizard from their guild. A Wizard may not be a member of a guild they are expelled from.

The list of Wizards who have been expelled from a particular guild is publicly tracked. An Archmage may un-expel a Wizard from their guild by removing them from that list.

In “Wizards”, replace “Each Wizard has a publicly tracked non-negative integer number of Stars, which defaults to twenty or the lowest number of Stars held by any Wizard, whichever is higher.” with:-

Each Wizard has a publicly tracked non-negative integer number of Stars, which defaults to the Lode of all other Wizards.

The Lode of a specified group of Wizards is a number equal to the total number of their Stars, divided by the number of Wizards in that group.

When a Wizard (the “Returner”) is unidled having been previously non-idle in the dynasty, the Lode of all other Wizards is compared what the Lode of all Wizards was at the point immediately after the Returner last went idle: if the first Lode is higher, the Returner’s Stars are increased by the difference between those values; if the Lode is lower, the Returner’s Stars are decreased by the difference.

In the rule “Style” replace the text “A Wizard is Unique if all of their Styles are Out of Fashion” with the following text:

A Wizard is Unique if, for each of their Styles, they are the only Wizard with that Style, the Style is Out of Fashion, and the Style is not “None”.

Add the following to “Style”

If there is currently an open duel, a Wizard may request a style change by sending a private message to the Battle Master indicating which of their Styles they wish to change, and what they wish their new value for that Style to become. A Wizard may only request one one change in Style per duel, so if they send a new request to change their style the old request is overwritten. A Wizard may never request to change any of their Styles to none.

Add the following to the first step of the atomic action for resolving a duel

For each Wizard which requested to change their Style while this duel was open, update that Wizard’s requested Style to match their request

Select a random Style of Hat other than None. Set the Hat of every Wizard except the Battle Master to that Style.

For each Wizard’s EVC on this Proposal which includes the text “I hate fun”: instead of setting that Wizard’s Style of Hat to the one selected above, select a random Style of Hat other than None for that Wizard, and set that Wizard’s Style of Hat to that Style.

If Spells have a Speed make the following three changes

1) Set the Speed of Snipe to be 100

2) Remove “However, if another Wizard were to cast Snipe and successfully named the Wizard that casted Magic Armor, the spell is considered casted for the condition in the first sentence of this effect but the Wizard who casted Magic Armor will not gain the effects of the Magic Armor.” from Magical Armor.

3) Set the speed of Synergy to be 2. Change its effect to be

If this Wizard is in the targeted position of one or more Spells with speed less than this one, secretly randomly select one of those Spells, or select that Spell if it is just one Spell. After the Effects of the selected Spell are applied to this Wizard, apply the same Effects to the Wizard who cast the selected Spell. If this Effect triggers due to Misdirection, the Spell whose target changed is the Spell that this Effect applies to.

Also make the following changes

In “Duels” replace

The Battle Master is permitted to publicly announce how many Wizards are yet to select a spell for a given duel.

The Gewgaw is a Pewter Elephant

Reword the step in the rule “Commencing a Duel” which begins “Each spell selected for casting by a Wizard is cast…” to the following:

* Each Wizard’s Spell is cast starting with the highest-Speed Spells and continuing to the next highest-Speed Spells, until all Spells have been cast. If multiple Wizards cast Spells with the same Speed, then those Spells are cast in the same order as those Wizards’ order in the Wizard Ring, lowest to highest. When a Spell is cast, apply the effects of that Spell according to the Spell List for the current Duel, with those effects being applied to the Wizard casting the Spell unless otherwise stated. Idle Wizards who are targeted by a Spell are still considered Wizards for the purposes of resolving a Spell’s effects, and may have their gamestate changed by other Wizards’ Spells, but the Idle Wizards’ Spells are not cast.

Reword the effect in the Spell rule “Misdirection” as follows:

For the remainder of this Duel, if the Wizard casting this Spell is in a targeted position for the Input of any other Wizard’s Spell, the targeted position is changed to the Input position.

Set the Speed of the Spell rule “Snipe” to 10, and change its effect to:

If and only if the named Wizard has selected to cast the named Spell in this duel, then a) consider the named Wizard to have selected the Spell Fizzle instead, and b) increase the Stars of the Wizard casting this Snipe Spell by 2.

Stygian Censer

Wizards may not select numerical positions as inputs which are not adjacent to their own position.

Ice Prism

Spells which contain the word “random”, “randomly” or a DICE value in their Effect are instead considered to have an Effect of “nothing happens”.

For each Wizard except the Battle Master, select a random Style of Hat other than None, then set that Wizard’s Hat to the selected Style.

If the EVC of a Wizard other than the Battle Master contains the name of a single Style of Hat, set that Wizard’s Hat to that Style, instead of selecting one randomly for that Wizard.

Add a new spell called Expose with the following effects and speed

Effect: Every Wizard participating in the Duel l loses 1 star for each of their styles which is None

If the rule “Wizard Marks” exists, remove the paragraph beginning with “The Battle Master should perform the Update Marks action” and in the rule “Commencing a Duel” add this text after “Remove all string entries in the Wizard Marks”

, then add each string received from a Wizard since the previous Duel was resolved as an entry in the Wizard Marks.

Add a new rule called “Wizard Marks” and give it the following text:

There is a publicly-tracked Wizard Marks which is a list of strings, defaulting to an empty list, where each string may contain 1-100 alphanumeric, whitespace, and punctuation characters.

At any time, a Wizard who has not done so since the most recent Duel was resolved may secretly communicate to the Battle Master a string that they wish to add to the Wizard Marks.

The Battle Master should perform the Update Marks action, which is an atomic action in which the Battle Master adds each string received from a Wizard since the previous Update Marks to the Wizard Marks, if it has been at least 6 hours since the last time the Battle Master has done so. If the Battle Master has never performed the Update Marks action this dynasty, they should perform it at least 6 hours after receiving a string from a Wizard.

In the rule “Commencing a Duel” after the bullet starting with “Reply to the duel post” add this bullet point:

* Remove all string entries in the Wizard Marks.

Each spell selected for casting by a Wizard is cast starting with the Spells with the highest speed, where Spells with equal speed are cast simultaneously, and then repeating this step in decreasing numerical order by speed until all selected spells are processed. Spells cast at a lower Speed cannot affect Spells cast at a higher Speed.

In the subrule “Misdirection” add this text:

Speed: 2

and in the same subrule replace the text “any Spell this Duel” with this text:

any Spell with a lower Speed than this Spell

and in the same subrule remove the text “This also applies to a targeted position changed by another Wizard’s Misdirection spell.” if it exists.

In the subrule “Siphon” replace the text “receives” with “received” and add this text:

Speed: 0

Enact a new rule, “Magic Words”:-

The terms “Duel”, “Squabble”, “Scuffle”, “Affray”, “Brouhaha”, “Clash”, “Quarrel”, “Standoff”, “Bout”, “Quibble” and “Battle” are the Magic Words: they are all considered to be synonyms of each other, outside of this rule.

If they have not already done so during the current dynasty, a Wizard (or the Battle Master) may add a Magic Word to the Forbidden Words list, which is tracked at the end of this paragraph. The Forbidden Words are:

If a Forbidden Word appears in the ruleset outside of this rule, then any Wizard may choose a single non-Forbidden Magic Word and replace the Forbidden Word with that, throughout the dynastic ruleset (except for this rule).

To the start of the Misdirection rule, add:

Inputs: A numerical position in the Wizard Ring, which is adjacent to that of the caster.

In the effect of Misdirection, change “is changed to a randomly-selected position that is not this Wizard’s position. This also applies” to:-

is changed to the Input position. This does not apply

Add a paragraph to the rule “Style” which reads:

If a Style is not In Fashion, it is Out of Fashion. A Wizard is Unique if all of their Styles are Out of Fashion.

Add a Subrule to the Rule “Spells” named “Spotlight” with the following text:

Effect: If this Wizard is Unique, they gain 5 stars.

Add a Subrule to the Rule “Spells” named “Unify” with the following text:

Effect: All Trendy Wizards gain 1 star

For each EVC on this proposal: if that EVC contains the name of a Style of Hat, set the Hat of the Wizard who posted that EVC to the Hat Style so named.

Change the name of the dynastic tracking page to be “Locker Room”

Add the following paragraph to “Duels”

If every pending votable is either unpopular or does not reference “Duel” or “Duels” then no proposals may be enacted and any Wizard or the Battle Master may replace all instances of “Duel” with “Bout” and “Duels” with “Bouts” throughout the ruleset and then delete this paragraph.

In the rule “Spells” add a subrule named “Synergy” and give it the following text:

Effect: If this Wizard is in the targeted position of one or more Spells, secretly randomly select one of those Spells, or select that Spell if it is just one Spell. After applying the Effects of the selected Spell to this Wizard, apply the same Effects to the Wizard who cast the selected Spell. If this Effect triggers due to Misdirection, the Spell whose target changed is the Spell that this Effect applies to.

Enact a new subrule of “Creating A Duel” entitled “Gewgaws” as follows:

There exist a number of Gewgaws, which may be included by the Battle Master as part of a Duel to change the way that Duel is conducted. The list of Gewgaws, and the effect each such Gewgaw has when it is included in a Duel, is as follows:

Contemplation Orb

Before the spells selected for a Duel are cast, each Trendy Wizard named in that Duel’s Wizard Ring gains 1 Star.

Bonsai Volcano

After the spells selected for a Duel are cast, each Wizard who lost Stars in this Duel due to the effects of a Burn spell loses another Star.

In the rule “Creating a Duel” before the list item beginning “Clear the contents of the wiki page…” add the following item:

* Optionally select a Gewgaw to affect this Duel

In the rule “Creating a Duel” reword the text “which consists of the Wizard Ring and Spell List for that duel” to:

which consists of the Wizard Ring and Spell List, and (if one is selected) the Gewgaw, for that Duel

In the rule “Commencing a Duel” insert the following as the first step in that rule’s atomic action:

* Apply the effects of the Duel’s selected Gewgaw, if any, that occur before spells are cast

In the rule “Commencing a Duel” insert the following as the step in that rule’s atomic action before the step that begins “Reply to the duel post…”:

* Apply the effects of the Duel’s selected Gewgaw, if any, that occur after spells are cast

In “Creating a Duel” after “Set the Wizard Ring to be all Wizards, ordered randomly” add “(the Battle Master may make this determination using a private method of their choosing)”

In “Engaging in a Duel” after “Wizards who are named in the Wizard Ring for a duel are considered to be participants in that duel.” add “Each participant in a duel may cast one instance of a spell in that duel”

In “Duels” after “Duels are either Open, Pending or Resolved” add ” and are by default Open”

Throughout the ruleset and gamestate, including in all pending proposals, change “duel” to “squabble”.

In the rule “Commencing a Duel”, replace the text “specifying which spells were cast and how many stars each wizards gained or lost from those spells” with this text:

specifying each spell that was cast, and for each of those spells: the name of the Wizard that cast that spell and the resulting effect that Spell caused including details such as Wizards targeted, Stars gained or lost with the names of the Wizards who gained or lost them, target positions changed, any other effects that the Spell had, or failure to have any effect at all

Wizard Ring for this Duel is

1. Raven1207
2. Josh
3. Snisbo
4. Vovix
5. lendunistus
6. Zack
7. Kevan
8. JonathanDark

Spell List: https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Wizard_Duel_Spell_List_1

Add a new spell called “Snipe” and give it the following text

Inputs: The name of another Wizard participating in the current duel and the name of a spell other than Snipe from the spell list for the current duel
Effects: If the named Wizard has selected to cast the named spell in this duel, their casting of that spell does nothing and the Wizard casting this spell gains 2 stars.

Idle me, please.

In the rule “Spells” add this text:

The Speed of a Spell is a non-negative integer that determines the order in which Spells are cast during a Duel and may be specified by a Wizard when communicating the Spell to be cast for that Duel to the Battle Master. It defaults to 0 if not specified. When a Wizard specifies the Speed of a Spell for a Duel, they must choose a value between 0 and the amount of Stars they have at the time that they communicate this information to the Battle Master.

and in the same rule replace “If a spell has a cost, the cost is deducted from a Wizard’s stars when they cast the spell, unless they have fewer stars than the cost, in which case the spell fails and has no effect.” with:

If a spell has a cost, the cost is deducted from a Wizard’s Stars in an action called Pay the Cost, as described in the rule “Commencing a Duel”, unless they have fewer stars than the cost, in which case the spell fails and is considered to have no effect for that Wizard when its Effect is resolved in this Duel.

In the rule “Engaging in a Duel” after the text “the name of the spell” add:

, optionally the Speed of that spell

and in the same rule replace the text “A wizard who is a participant in an open duel” with:

While there is no pending duel, a wizard who is a participant in an open duel

In the rule “Spells” if the text “immediately before the duel was resolved” exists, replace it with this text:

immediately before resolving the Effects of the selected Spells whose Speed matches the Current Speed

In the rule “Commencing a Duel” remove the bullet point starting with “Each spell selected for casting by a Wizard is cast simultaneously”. In the same rule, add the following text at the end of the rule:

When a spell is cast, apply the effect of that spell according to the spell list for the current duel, applying the effect to the caster of the spell unless otherwise stated. Idle Wizards who are targeted by a spell are still considered Wizards for the purposes of resolving a spells effects and so may still have their gamestate values changed by other spells, but do not cast spells themselves.

In the same rule, add the following bullet points to the beginning of the bulleted list:

* For each Wizard that specified a Speed for their selected Spell, decrease that Wizard’s Stars by that Speed.
* Set the Current Speed to the highest Speed among all of the selected Spells.
* Repeat the following sub-steps until every selected Spell of all participants in this Duel has been processed.
** Pay the Cost of all selected Spells whose Speed matches the Current Speed and that have a Cost.
** Resolve the Effects of all selected Spells whose Speed matches the Current Speed as if they were cast simultaneously. This step is when each of those Spells is cast.
** Decrease the Current Speed by 1.

Add the following to “Style”

The Fashion Score for a Style is equal to the total number of Stars held by all Wizards who have that Style. The Fashion Score for None is always 0.

A Style is In Fashion if its Fashion Score is greater than the Fashion Score for all other Styles of that same type.

A Wizard is Trendy if all their Styles are In Fashion

Unidle me

To the end of the rule Spells, add:

Whenever a Spell’s Effect relies on information about another Wizard’s personal gamestate in order to resolve (eg how many Stars that Wizard has, what kind of Style their Hat is etc), the frame of reference for that information is the moment immediately before the duel was resolved.

I’d like to unidle, please!

Replace the text of the rule “Spells” with

Spells are defined as subrules of this rule, with the name of the Spell being the name of the subrule and rest of the spell information being tracked in the subrule itself. The definition of a Spell may have:
* a cost
* a set of inputs

and must have:
* an effect

If a spell has a cost, the cost is deducted from a Wizard’s stars when they cast the spell, unless they have fewer stars than the cost, in which case the spell fails and has no effect.

Remove “Inputs: None” wherever it appears in the ruleset.

If the rule “Doom Cloud” exists:

- Set the cost of “Doom Cloud” to 1 by adding the line “Cost: 1” before its effect.

- Change the effect of “Doom Cloud” to “Every other Wizard participating in the Duel loses 2 Stars.”

One more wizard for the fray! Unidle me please

One more wizard for the fray! Unidle me please

Activate the Declared Alliances special case rule

Enact a new rule, “Style”:-

Each Wizard has a single publicly-tracked Style for each of their Hat, Robes, Staff and Beard, from the possible Styles for each type listed below:

* Hat: Pointy, Phrygian, Hooded, None.
* Robes: Starry, Cloaked, Ragged, Plain.
* Staff: Hooked, Crooked, Knobbed, None.
* Beard: Flowing, Clipped, Wispy, None.

A Wizard’s Styles default to Plain Robes and None for Hat, Staff and Beard.

Add a subrule to Spells called “Attire”:

Inputs: A single possible Style other than “None”.
Effect: Change this Wizard’s Hat, Robes, Staff or Beard (whichever is applicable) to match the chosen Style.

In the rule “Wizards”, change the text “integer number of Stars” to “non-negative integer number of Stars”, and add the following sentence after the first sentence in the rule:

If any action would cause a Wizard’s Stars to be below 0, that action sets the Wizard’s Stars to 0 instead.

Add the following subrules to “Spells” (provided that rule exists) where the first line of each blockquote is the name of the subrule and the rest is the contents

Misdirection

Inputs: None
Effect: If this Wizard is in a targeted position for the Input of any Spell this Duel, the targeted position is changed to a randomly-selected position that is not this Wizard’s position. This also applies to a targeted position changed by another Wizard’s Misdirection spell.

Siphon

Inputs: None
Effect: If any Wizards other than this Wizard receives any Stars from one or more Spells, other than Siphon, randomly select one of those Wizards to lose 1 Star, then this Wizard gains 1 Star. This Wizard can also receive Stars from other Spells and still trigger this Effect.

Doom Cloud

Inputs: None
Effect: If this Wizard has less than 1 Star at the start of the Duel, this Spell has no Effect. Otherwise, this Wizard loses 1 Star, and every other Wizard loses 2 Stars.

Remove the string “Battle Time,” from both “Duels” and “Creating a Duel”.

Then replace “If there is an open duel, and the current date and time are after the battle time for that duel” in the rule “Commencing a Duel” with:-

If there is an open duel, and every Wizard participating in it has selected a spell to cast in that duel

Then remove every paragraph and bullet point that includes the phrase “Battle Time”.

Then add to “Duels”:-

The Battle Master is permitted to publicly announce how many Wizards are yet to select a spell for a given duel.

I would like to be unidled.

Unidle me, please!

Add the following subrules to “Spells” (provided that rule exists) where the first line of each blockquote is the name of the subrule and the rest is the contents

Greed

Inputs: None
Effect: If no other Wizard cast the Greed spell this Duel, gain 5 stars

Gather

Inputs: None
Effect: Gain DICE3 Stars

Burn
Inputs: A numerical position in the Wizard Ring
Effect: The wizard in the targeted position loses 3 stars. Their neighbors lose 1 star

Gift
Inputs: A numerical position in the Wizard Ring which is not the position of the Wizard selecting the spell
Effect: The wizard in the targeted position gains 3 stars

Add a new dynastic rule called “Wizards” with the following text

Each Wizard has a publicly tracked integer number of Stars, which defaults to twenty or the lowest number of Stars held by any Wizard, whichever is higher.

Add a new dynastic rule called “Spells” with the following text

A Spell has a Name, a possible set of Inputs, and a Effect. Spells are defined as subrules to this rule, with the name of the Spell being the name of the subrule and rest of the spell information being tracked in the subrule itself.

Add a new dynastic rule called “Duels” and give it the following text

A Duel consists of a Number, Battle Time, A Wizard Ring and A Spell List. Duels are either Open, Pending or Resolved.

The Battle Time for a duel is a UTC Date and Time.

A Wizard Ring consists of the names of the Wizards (including possibly Idle Wizards) who are actively participating in a Duel, as well as their numerical position in the ring (starting at 1). Each Wizard is considered to be neighbors with the Wizards numerically adjacent to them in the ring (so Wizard in position 4 is neighbors with Wizards 3 and 5). Additionally, the Wizard Ring loops so the Wizard in position 1 is adjacent to the Wizard in the last position and vice versa.

The Spell List is a link to a wiki page which contains the spells available to cast in that duel. The spell list for all duels is considered game state.

Add a subrule to “Duels” called “Creating a Duel” with the following text

If there is no open or pending duel, the Battle Master may Schedule a Duel by performing the following atomic action:

* Set the Duel Number to be one higher than the previous duel number or 1 if it’s the first duel
* Set the Battle Time to the soonest date and time which is 15:00:00 UTC and at least 44 hours from the current date and time.
* Set the Wizard Ring to be all Wizards, ordered randomly
* Clear the contents of the wiki page titled “Wizard Duel Spell List X” where X is the duel number
* Set the contents of the wiki page titled “Wizard Duel Spell List X” where X is the duel number to be the current spell list in the ruleset
* Make a story post to the blog titled “Wizard Duel X” where X is the duel number which consists of the Battle Time, Wizard Ring and Spell List for that duel

Add a subrule to “Duels” called “Engaging in a Duel” with the following text

Wizards who are named in the Wizard Ring for a duel are considered to be participants in that duel. A wizard who is a participant in an open duel may select which spell they want to cast or change which spell they are casting in that duel by choosing a spell from the spell list for the duel and privately communicating with the Battle Master the name of the spell and any inputs for that spell.

Add a subrule to “Duels” called “Commencing a Duel” with the following text

If there is an open duel, and the current date and time are after the battle time for that duel, the Battle Master may make a comment in the blog post for that duel indicating that the battle is about to commence and the duel is now pending. At this point the duel becomes pending.

If there is a pending duel, the Battle Master may resolve the duel by performing the following atomic action

* Each spell selected for casting by a Wizard is cast simultaneously. When a spell is cast, apply the effect of that spell according to the spell list for the current duel, applying the effect to the caster of the spell unless otherwise stated. Idle Wizards who are targeted by a spell are still considered Wizards for the purposes of resolving a spells effects and so may still have their gamestate values changed by other spells, but do not cast spells themselves.
* Reply to the duel post specifying which spells were cast and how many stars each wizards gained or lost from those spells
* At this point, the duel becomes closed and the Battle Master is encouraged to promptly schedule the next duel

Wizard duel!

Per https://blognomic.com/archive/closing_time1 I have achieved victory in this dynasty

After a long, tiring day, the humble bookkeeper flips the sign on the door to “closed”.

Running his gnarled old finger down the accounts ledger, he gives an occasional raised eyebrow, dusty sigh, or dry harrumph.

Finally, he writes four names on the back of a discarded betting slip.

The paper says:
* KEVAN: account balance 75 Readies
* BUCKY: account balance 148 Readies
* JONATHANDARK: account balance 166 Readies
* CLUCKY: account balance 347 Readies

“Good day for Clucky”, he grunted, “I’ll deal with that in the morning.” Then he closed the shutters, turned off the lights, and started making his way towards bed.

On 13 October the following sporting events took place:

A game of Giolitti was played between DiFieri and Carpino. Di Fieri had a Pocket of 50 while Carpino had a pocket of 41, but the Grand Canal was Devil, so Carpino was declared the winner.

* If it is true, the Accused Punter is fined 20 Readies for tampering with a sporting fixture; if the Accused Punter gained any Readies from Cashed Bets on that Event, they are also fined that amount of Readies

to:

* If it is true, the Accused Punter is fined 20 Readies for tampering with a sporting fixture

On 9 October, a Giolitti match took place between Micheli and Di Fieri. The Grand Canal was Angel, and Di Fieri won with a Pocket of 67 to Micheli’s 43.

In “Form Sheet” replace

the Bookie may randomly select a Sporting Event which is not already currently being held on that date

with

the Bookie may create a Sporting Event on that date by randomly select a Sport for which a Sporting Event of that Sport is not already currently being held on that date

Uphold the creation of all Sporting Events done by the Bookie up to the point where this CfJ was created.

Move the 12/10 Sporting Event of Blogbots to between Ducktank vs Hard Hat to 11/10 and move the 11/10 Sporting Event of Giolitti between Di Fieri vs Paparoni to 12/10. Cancel any open acca which contain Bets for either of these events.

I accuse Jonathan Dark of Meddling with Buzzsaw Darth Cliche in the October 7 Clingboom Event

I accuse Jonathan Dark of Meddling with Cheesecutter Purplebeard in the October 7 Clingboom Event

In the rule “Meddling”, change

applying it to a specific Participant in a single, specific Open Sporting Event

to

applying it to a specific Participant (or all Participants if the Meddling is defined as Symmetric) in a single, specific Open Sporting Event

On 7 October, a Clingboom match took place between Cheesecutter Purplebeard, Buzzsaw Darth Cliche, Laser Mideg and Acid Yoday. Laser Mideg won after 7 rounds. JonathanDark and Clucky both won Readies on this bet.

On 7 October a Boxing match took place between Wild Man Danny Bannister and Roberto “Silver Phantom” Calderon. Roberto “Silver Phantom” Calderon was knocked out after 11 rounds. Roberto “Silver Phantom” Calderon won.

Add a subrule to “Meddling” called “Heat”

Each Punter has a non-negative integer amount of Heat, which is privately tracked by the Bookie and is by default 0.

Whenever a Punter plans a Sport’s Meddling, their heat is increased by 1.

When the Bookie Scopes a Punter, they roll a DICE10. If the result is greater than or equal to the Punter’s current Heat the Punter passes. Otherwise, the Punter is fined 20 Readies and their Heat is reduced by 2 (to a minimum of 0),

In “Sports Resolution” replace

the Bookie applies all Meddlings that were planned against Participants in that Event. (If the same Meddling would be applied multiple times to the same Participant in an Event, it is instead only applied once.)

with

the Bookie takes all Meddlings that were planned against Participants in that Event and puts them a random order. For each such Meddling (in the new order) the Bookie Scopes the Punter who initiated the Meddling. If the Punter passes the Scope, the Meddling is applied (unless the same Meddling has already been applied to the same Participant in the same Event, or the same Symmetric Meddling has already been applied to the same Event). Otherwise it is not applied.

Replace the sub-rule “Accusations” in “Meddling” with

The bookie should, at their earliest convivence, remove all Meddling’s that were created before the proposal “Seems Kinda Sus” passed, unless the Punter who planned that meddling clearly communicated with the bookie that they wanted the meddling to persist upon “Seems Kinda Sus” being enacted in which case that Meddling in question remains and the Punter who planned it gains 1 heat. The Bookie should then delete the subrule “Accusations.

The bookie may not generate any resolutions.

On 5 October Gothmog Hall met Penanggalan Hall at Nomich. Penanggalan Hall won, 56-64.

On 6 October The Killing Joke played Bad Door at Blogbots. Bad Door won, trashing Killing Joke in 25 rounds.

In the rule “Meddling”, change

applying it to a specific Participant in a single, specific Event

to

applying it to a specific Participant (or all Participants if the Meddling is defined as Symmetric) in a single, specific Event

In the subrules of the rule “Sporting Events”, add the sentence “This is Symmetric.” to the descriptions of the Meddlings Centofanti and House Bots.

I Accuse Clucky of having Meddled with Carpino in the Sporting Event of Giolitti that occurred on the 30th of September. Since at the time the Bookie was reporting the amount of winnings, and based on the Odds at the time, it appears that Clucky placed 40 Readies on Micheli, which is substantial enough to me to indicate he was reasonably confident in the win. I suspect he colluded with someone else who also Meddled and ensured that the Grand Canal was the Devil, while Clucky increased the pocket of Carpino and then bet on his rival, knowing that the win condition would be reversed.

Of course, the opposite could have happened, which also begs the question: if someone uses “Meddling (Centofanti): Instead of being chosen at random, the Grand Canal is Devil.” then who is the Participant for whom the Meddling was applied? The rules require a Meddle to be “applying it to a specific Participant”.

I accuse JonathanDark of meddling in the 4 October game of Blogbots. There is no way Ducktank wins that cleanly.

On 4 October Credit Score: F played against Ducktank at Blogbots. Credit Score: F was trashed after 25 rounds of play. Ducktank wins. JonathanDark wins Readies from this event.

In the rule A Good Day At The Races, change

If it is, or is after, Saturday 14th of October 2023 and the Results Post for the Sporting Events from October 13th 2023 have been up for at least 24 hours

to

If it is, or is after, Saturday 14th of October 2023, the Results Post for the Sporting Events from October 13th 2023 has been up for at least 24 hours, and there are no univestigated Accusation Posts

In “Sports Resolution” replace

The Bookie may generate the resolution, using their Resolution Method for that sport, to any Sporting Event in advance of the time at which it takes place. A day’s sporting events all take place on that day at exactly noon UTC; as soon as possible thereafter the Bookie should make a Results Post, a post in the Story Posts category detailing all sporting events that have taken place that have not appeared in a previous Results Post, including any results that may be associated with those events, and summarising all random choices that were made as part of determining those events’ results (excluding Meddlings). It should also state which Punters have won Readies as a result of Bets placed on each of those Events. If the event’s resolution was not generated, this fact shall be disclosed, and the event is considered cancelled and any actions dependent on it occurring - aside from removing Bets on it from public tracking - are skipped. When generating the resolution of a Sporting Event, the Bookie applies all Meddlings that were planned against Participants in that Event. (If the same Meddling would be applied multiple times to the same Participant in an Event, it is instead only applied once.)

A Sporting Event may be either Open, Pending, Resolved or Closed and by default is Open. This is publicly tacked as the Sporting Event’s Status.

The Bookie may generate the resolution, using their Resolution Method for that sport, to any Open Sporting Event provided it is later than 24 hours in advance of the time at which it takes place. At this point the sporting event becomes Pending. If it is on or after noon UTC on a Pending Sporting Event’s date, that sporting event automatically becomes Resolved. When generating the resolution of a Sporting Event, the Bookie applies all Meddlings that were planned against Participants in that Event. (If the same Meddling would be applied multiple times to the same Participant in an Event, it is instead only applied once.)

A day’s sporting events all take place on that day at exactly noon UTC; as soon as possible thereafter the Bookie should perform the following atomic action: first ensure that there are no Open Sporting Events whose date is on or before the current date (using the above process if any are still open), and then make a Results Post, a post in the Story Posts category detailing all Resolved sporting events, including any results that may be associated with those events, and summarizing all random choices that were made as part of determining those events’ results (excluding Meddlings). It should also state which Punters have won Readies as a result of Bets placed on each of those Events. At this point, all Resolved sporting events become Closed.

In “Meddling” replace

A Punter may plan a Sport’s Meddling, applying it to a specific Participant in a single, specific Event of that Sport (identified by the Sport and the date on which it will occur) that has not yet occurred, by privately informing the Bookie of this. If the Bookie does not receive the attempt to plan a Meddling until after the corresponding Event’s resolution has been generated, that attempt is considered untimely; it does not result in the Meddling being planned, and the Bookie shall privately inform the Punter who sent it that it was not timely.

On 2 October, a ClingBoom match occured with a line-up of Acid Yoda vs Laser Mideg vs Buzzsaw Darth Cliche vs Cheesecutter Purplebeard. Buzzsaw Darth Cliche won.

On 3 October Bandersnatch Hall played Gothmog Hall at Nomich. Bandersnatch Hall scored 53 to Gothmog Hall’s 52. Bandersnatch Hall won. Clucky won Readies from a bet on this Event.

Bets have a bunch of characteristics. We’ve been playing as though the bettor can choose the important ones - the event, outcome and stake - from any valid value. However, the rule that “a Punter may place a Bet on any Sporting Event that they have not previously placed a Bet on by privately announcing this to the Bookie” only allows that Punter to create it with themselves as the Punter placing it. It does not provide any way for the placing Punter to select the Stake, or change which wager they place it on. These have instead had the default values all along - Stakes of 1 Ready, and almost always on a different position than the Bookie paid out on. Given the extreme divergence between platonic gamestate and the tracked information that we’ve been relying on, a general patch-and-uphold is preferable to unwinding everything. Therefore…

In the rule “Betting”, change

by privately announcing this to the Bookie

to

by privately announcing the Bet’s elements (aside from their own name) to the Bookie

and uphold the creation of each Bet where the Bookie created it with Stakes, Outcomes and/or Sporting Events specified by the placing Punter instead of their respective default values.

If the proposal “Acca cadabra” was not enacted, this proposal has no effect.

In the subrule “Accusations”, after the text “tampering with a sporting fixture” add the following text:

, or if the Sporting Event was part of an Acca placed by the Accused Punter they are fined 20 * N * N instead where N is the number of Bets in that Acca

In the subrule “Odds”, replace the text “3 plus the total of the Track Record of all other Participants for this Sport” with this text:

3 plus the total of the Track Records for this Sport of the other Participants of this Sporting Eventt. If Y would be 0, it is 1 instead and X is doubled.

and replace “set X for the Odds of that Outcome to the total of the Track Record of all Participants for this Sport” with this text:

set X for the Odds of that Outcome to the total of the Track Records for this Sport of all Participants of this Sporting Event, with a minimum of 1,

For each Sporting Event scheduled more than 36 hours after this proposal’s enactment time, if its sport is not “Giolitti” and its Odds changed, recalculate its Odds under the new rule and nullify all Bets placed on it.

If it is, or is after, Saturday 14th of October 2023 and the Results Post for the Sporting Events from October 13th 2023 have been up for at least 24 hours, then the Bookie should

Add the following to the end of the rule Betting:

An Acca is a series of bets placed on any number of different Sporting Events that all take place on the same day. A Punter may, at any time, have up to one open Acca, and may place an Acca by sending the Bookie a message containing all of the Bets that it will incorporate, with the details of each bet as per the criteria in this rule, except for a single Stake that covers the entire Acca.

When the Bookie is Cashing Bets, the Bets in an Acca are processed as follows:
* They are resolved in order, from the first Sporting Event in the Form Sheet to the last;
* The Stake for the first Bet is the Stake of the Acca;
* The Stake for each subsequent Bet is the winnings from the previous bet in the Acca, plus the Stake of the previous bet in the Acca, if the previous bet in the Acca was won; otherwise it is 0.

Add the following sub rule to “The Gamblers” called “The Back Room”

Props are publicly tracked and consist of the following information

* The name of the Punter offering the Prop (the Offer)
* Optionally, the name of the Punter accepting the Prop (The Accept). A Prop without an Accept is considered to be Empty
* The Buy In, which must be a positive integer number of Readies
* The Reward, which must be a positive integer number of Readies which is greater than the Buy In
* The Event, A single, specific Sporting Event (identified by the Sport and the date on which it will occur) in which the Prop was created before the Sporting Event had occurred
* The Outcome, An outcome (from the Potential Outcomes for the Sport of that Sporting Event)

A Punter may at any time Offer a Prop by reducing their Readies selecting the Buy In, Reward, Event, and Outcome and then Reducing their Readies by the Reward—A Punter may perform this action if it would cause their Readies minus the Stakes of any open Bets that Punter to be less than zero.

If the sporting event for an Empty Prop has not yet occurred, A Punter who is not the Offer for that Prop may Accept the Prop, marking themselves as the Accept by transferring the Buy In in Readies from themselves to the Offer for that Buy In - A Punter may perform this action if it would cause their Readies minus the Stakes of any open Bets that Punter to be less than zero.

When making or accepting a Prop, the Punter doing so should privately message the Bookie so that the Bookie may better track that Punters Readies.

After a Sporting Event has occurred, then the Bookie should process each Prop for that sporting event as follows:

- If the Prop has an Accept, and the Outcome of the Sporting Event matches the Outcome of the Prop, then the Accept gets the reward for the Prop in Readies.
- Otherwise the Offer gets the reward for the Prop in Readies.

On 1 October, Wild Man Danny Bannister played Rebekka “The Sandman” Dante at Boxing. Rebekka “The Sandman” Dante knocked out Wild Man Danny Bannister in 18 rounds, and thus wins.

In the subrule “Odds”, replace the text “total of the Track Record of all Participants for this Sport” with this text:

total of the Track Record of all Participants for this Sporting Event

In the subrule “Odds”, replace the text “the total of the Track Record of all other Participants for this Sport.” with this text:

the total of the Track Record of all other Participants for this Sporting Event.

and replace the text:

For the Outcome of “Draw”, if it exists

with the text:

For the Outcomes of “Draw” and “All Participants Die”, if either exists

and before the bullet that begins with “Optionally, resolve the ratio” add this bullet:

* For any other Outcome that does have a rule for its Odds already covered by the preceding bullet points and where only one Participant is referenced in that Outcome, set Y for the Odds of that Outcome to that Participant’s Track Record for this Sport and set X for the Odds of that Outcome to 5 plus the total of the Track Record of all other Participants for this Sporting Event.
