In the Beast’s Den Effect, replace “the Necromancer loses DICE3 Shamblers of their choice from their Cohort and the Corpses of this Location is increased by the result of the dice roll” with:-

if the Necromancer has any Shamblers then they lose one at random from their Cohort; if they do not, the Necromancer is instead moved to the Tower. Either way, the number of Corpses of this Location is increased by 1

In the rule “Shamblers”, after the sentence ending “where x, y and z are numbers, referring to the number of Skeletons, Zombies and Ghouls in that Necromancer’s Cohort, respectively”, add:

The Attack Power of a Cohort is the sum of y and z. The Defense of a Cohort is the sum of x and z. If a Necromancer’s Cohort’s Attack Power is greater than the Defense of an other Necromancer’s Cohort, the former Necromancer is considered to be Stronger than the latter Necromancer and the latter Necromancer is considered to be Weaker than the former Necromancer.
Each Necromancer is either Stunned or not Stunned, defaulting to not Stunned.

Add the following new step as the first step of the Sands of the Hourglass action:

*For each Necromancer who is Weaker than any other Necromancer whose Location is set to same value (other than Tower), make the Weaker Necromancer Stunned. Stunned Necromancers are ignored when performing Hourglass Actions.

Add the following new step right after the step “For each Necromancer, perform any Hourglass Action described in the Effects of their Location to that Necromancer.” in the Sands of the Hourglass action:

*Make all Necromancers not Stunned

Repeal the rule “Death” and its subrules and add a new dynastic rule titled “Death” with a subrule “Hourglass” at the top of the Dynastic Rules section, giving them the same text and structure as in the original Death rule, with the following two exceptions:

* write

Proposals not authored by the Grim Reaper should not contain instructions to do any of the following operations on the rule named “Death” or any of its subrules, if it is not needed:

instead of

Proposals not authored by the Grim Reaper may not contain instructions to do any of the following operations on the rule named “Death” or any of its subrules:

* in the Sands of the Hourglass action, move the step beginning “For each Necromancer, find their latest valid private request…” to be right before the step “For each Necromancer, perform any Hourglass Action described in the Effects of their Location to that Necromancer.”

If Proposal: Casing the Joint was not enacted then this proposal has no effect.

1. Recommended Blocks
In the Building Blocks section, replace the string ‘The current Recommended Building Blocks rules are: Dormancy, Dynastic Distance and Mantle Limitations’ with ‘There are currently no Recommended Building Blocks’.

1a. Mantle Passing
In the Other section of the Keywords rule in the Appendix, add the following:

Pass the Mantle: Passing the Mantle is a mechanism by which, during an Interregnum, a Grim Reaper may nominate another Necromancer to become the Grim Reaper in the upcoming dynasty. Unless a Core, Dynastic or Building Block rule explicitly states otherwise, Passing the Mantle is currently prohibited.

In the Building Blocks section of the ruleset, repeal the rule Mantle Limitations. In the Building Blocks page of the wiki, change Mantle Limitations to be titled Mantle Passing, and change its text to read as follows:

During an Interregnum, the new Grim Reaper may Pass the Mantle by making a post naming a Necromancer who was not the last dynasty’s Grim Reaper; the passing Necromancer then ceases to be the Grim Reaper and the Necromancer so named becomes the Grim Reaper.

1b. Dormancy
Add the following as a subrule to the rule Necromancers, called Dormancy:

If there are fewer than four Necromancers (not including the Grim Reaper), then BlogNomic is on Hiatus.

In the Building Blocks section of the ruleset, repeal the rule Dormancy. In the Building Blocks page of the wiki, change Dormancy to be titled Low-Player Mode, and give it the following text:

The Core Rule Dormancy is flavour text.

2. Tidy-up
Add the following to the end of the second paragraph of the rule Votes:

When the Grim Reaper themselves casts a vote of DEFERENTIAL, it indicates an indication of confidence in the votes of the other players; please see the Rules and Votable Matters section of the Appendix for more information on how this is resolved.

Move the paragraph that starts ‘On the 24th, 25th and 26th of December’ to an entry in the Other section of the Keywords rule in the Appendix, titled Seasonal Downtime.

In the text of the top-level Building Blocks section, change “and any rules not so named must be removed” to “and any Building Blocks rules not so named must be removed from the Building Blocks section”.

If there is a potential rule on the Building Blocks page called Malign Emperors, change “If the Special Case rule “No Private Communication” is Active, any Necromancer may set it to Inactive. (The combo is too strong.)” to “If there is a Building Block rule called No Private Communication then any Necromancer may remove this rule from the ruleset.

If Battlefield is a Location, set its Area to be Ruined Castle.

If Revised Spoils is enacted, replace the effect text in the Battlefield Location (within the Rule “The Dark Arts” under the subheading “Locations”) where it says “does spend the additional cost” with “does not spend the additional cost”. Also, where it says “no Necromancer may set their location to the Battlefield” replace with “the Battlefield is no longer a valid Location, therefore no Necromancer may have it as their Location.”

Remove the Malign Emperors Special Case rule (if it exists). Also remove it from the Building Blocks page (if it exists)

In the rule “Knowledge”, after the text “Each Necromancer has a publicly tracked list of Discovered Truths” add this text:

, which defaults to an empty list

Remove “The Colour of Magic” from the Discovered Truths of every Necromancer.

Uphold the additional Mana gain for every Necromancer due to having the Colour of Magic in their Discovered Truths during each execution of the Sands of the Hourglass action between the dates of December 30 2023 and the date of the enactment of this CfJ, inclusive.

Forest idles out after 9 days of inactivity. Quorum is unchanged.

In the core rules:

In the rule Ruleset and Gamestate, change “rules which apply in special cases” to “rules which set metagame parameters for the current dynasty”.

In the rule Victory and Ascension, add the following as a second bullet point in the final bulleted list:

* Optionally specify any number of Building Blocks rules to remove or insert, as per the instructions in the Building Blocks section.

Change the now-third bullet point in the same list to read:

* Update the Ruleset to reflect any changed terms, repeal any dynastic rules which were not listed to be kept, and make any specified or automatic changes to the Building Blocks section of the ruleset.

In the Special Case section:

Rename the section to Building Blocks. Rewrite the text under the top-level heading to read as follows:

Building Blocks are rules that can be substituted in and out of the ruleset as needed, usually as a result of an Ascension Address. All rules in the Building Blocks section are ruletext.

Potential Building Blocks rules can be found at the Building Blocks page of the wiki. That page is gamestate and may not be altered except as specified by the ruleset or through the passage of a Proposal or CfJ; however, its contents are not rulestext. When the contents of the Building Blocks page are referred to as ‘rules’ by the ruleset or by a votable matter, it should be assumed that said contents are being referred to as potential rules rather than actual rules.

When a Grim Reaper specifies the Building Blocks rules in use for a new dynasty in an Ascension Address, they should specify (by name) the rules from the Building Blocks page that they would like to be included in this section of the ruleset; these rules must then be transcribed faithfully to this section of the ruleset, and any rules not so named must be removed. Some rules on the Building Blocks page are listed as being Recommended; if the new Grim Reaper makes no statement on Building Blocks rules to be included in their Ascension Address then the Recommended Building Blocks are considered to have been selected. The current Recommended Building Blocks rules are: Dormancy, Dynastic Distance and Mantle Limitations.

Collapse the text of the rule ‘Imperial Deferentials [Active] [Standard]’ into a single paragraph and make it a bullet point in the rule ‘Rules and Votable Matters’; then repeal the rule ‘Imperial Deferentials [Active] [Standard]’.

Add the following to the end of the rule Dynasties:

Unless otherwise stated by a dynastic rule, for the purposes of dynastic and Building Blocks rules, the Grim Reaper is not a Necromancer.

Add the following to the end of the rule Fair Play:

On the 24th, 25th and 26th of December, BlogNomic is [[#hiatus|on Hiatus]]. In addition, game actions defined by the core rules titled “Necromancers” and “Victory and Ascension” (with the exception of Voting in DoVs) may not be taken.

Repeal the rule Dynastic Distance [Active] [Standard] and the rule Seasonal Downtime [Active] [Standard].

For each Building Blocks rule that has the tag [Active] in its title, remove all of the tags in its title. For each Building Blocks rule that has the tag [Inactive] in its title, repeal it. If the Building Blocks page of the wiki has been altered since its first edit, revert those changes.

Throughout the ruleset, wherever it appears, change the term ‘Special Case’ to ‘Building Blocks’.

In the subrule “The Hourglass”, add this bullet point as the last step in the Sands of the Hourglass atomic action:

* Make a Story Post with the post title as “Sands of the Hourglass” followed by the current date, and add any flavor text of the Grim Reaper’s choosing in the body of the post.

This is a revised version of Spoils of War. There are some subtle differences especially in regards to the extra mana cost specified in the original. Add a Location named Battlefield, and give it 50 Corpses. The text of the location’s effect contains three dates: X, Y, and Z. X is the day this proposal is enacted, Y is three days after X, and Z is six days after X. The effect text is as follows:

After X and before Y, after performing the Reanimate Corpses action, the risen Shambler becomes a Ghoul if the Necromancer spends an additional 2 mana. If the Necromancer cannot or does spend the additional cost, then the Shambler remains whatever it originally was. After Y and before Z, after performing the Reanimate Corpses action, the risen Shambler becomes a Skeleton; the mana cost is not modified. The number of Corpses at this Location cannot be increased. After Z the battle has returned to this field, any Necromancer still at this location has their location set automatically to Tower, and no Necromancer may set their location to the Battlefield.

In the rule “The Dark Arts”, remove the text “A Nercromancer may change their Location to a different valid value as a daily action” if it exists, and add the following in the beginning of the subrule Locations:

At any time, a Necromancer may privately communicate to the Grim Reaper a Location and their desire to do one of the following:
-Travel to the chosen Location (the chosen Location must be Tower or its Area must be the same as the Necromancer’s current Location’s)
-Possess a Corpse in the chosen Location (the chosen Location must have a number of Corpses greater than zero)

Add a new bullet point to Sands of the Hourglass:

-for each Necromancer, find their latest valid private request since the most recent Sands of the Hourglass was performed. Then, resolve those requests, beginning with the oldest and continuing in chronological order, and for each of them, choose either of the following based on its contents:
—If the Necromancer wanted to Travel to a location, set their Location to that Location. If that Location is Tower, increase the Corpses of their previous Location by one.
—If the Necromancer wanted to Possess a Corpse, reduce their mana by one and set their Location to their chosen Location. Then, reduce the Corpses of that Location by one and, unless their previous Location was Tower, increase the Corpses of their previous Location by one. (Skip this option if the Necromancer has zero mana or there are no Corpses in the targeted Location)

In “Locations”, replace “Each Location has Effects, and may also have a number of Corpses.” with “Each Location has Effects, optionally an Area in which they are located, and may also have a number of Corpses.”

Set Graveyard’s Area to be Old Church. Add the following new locations:

| Dungeon | As a communal weekly action, any Necromancer may increase the Corpses of this Location by 5 | 5 | Ruined Castle ||

| Cellar | As a communal weekly action, any Necromancer may increase the Corpses of this Location by 3 | 3 | Haunted Mansion ||

| Beast’s Den | As a communal weekly action, any Necromancer may increase the Corpses of this Location by 3. Hourglass Action: the Necromancer loses DICE3 Shamblers of their choice from their Cohort and the Corpses of this Location is increased by the result of the dice roll | 3 | Dark Woods ||

If Library is a Location, set its Area to be Haunted Mansion. If Battlefield is a Location, set its Area to be Ruined Castle.

In the rule “Death”, after the text “other than this rule”, add this text:

and excluding any new subrules

A war has broken out nearby. While the mundane affairs of mortals matters little to Necromancers, the source of bodies may be useful. Add a Location named Battlefield, and give it 50 Corpses. The text of the location’s effect contains three dates: X, Y, and Z. X is the day this proposal is enacted, Y is three days after X, and Z is six days after X. The effect text is as follows:

After X and before Y, after performing the Reanimate Corpses action, the risen corpse becomes a Ghoul. If the rolled age of the corpse is less than 40, then the mana cost is modified by adding the difference between 8 and the DICE8 roll to the base mana spent in the action. After Y and before Z, after performing the Reanimate Corpses action, the risen corpse becomes a Skeleton; the mana cost is not modified. The number of Corpses at this Location cannot be increased. After Z the battle has returned to this field, any Necromancer still at this location has their location set automatically to Tower, and no Necromancer may set their location to the Battlefield.

Add the following to the beginning of the rule Locations:

A Nercromancer may change their Location to a different valid value as a daily action.

Add a subrule to “The Dark Arts” before “Locations” called “Necromancy” as follows:

At any time, a Necromancer may spend N mana to delay the Death Date of a rule of their choosing by N days.

If the rule “The Dark Arts” or any of its subrules have a Death Date, any Necromancer may remove both them and this sentence from the ruleset.

In “Locations”, change the amount of Mana that a player stands to gain from being in the Tower to 1DICE3. If the Library is a Location, change the cost of gaining 1 knowledge to 5.

Ravenhearted will be mentored by JonathanDark

I, Ravenhearted, hereby declare my intent to become a player in BlogNomic.

In “The Hourglass”, add a bullet point after the first:-

* For each dynastic rule which has a Death Date older than the current date, add a copy of it (and all of its subrules if it has any) to the end of [[The Nomicnecron]] wiki page.

Add a new dynastic rule titled “Knowledge”, with the following content:

Each Necromancer has Knowledge, which is a publicly tracked number defaulting to zero.

There are some Ultimate Truths, described in the table below, each of which has a name, a nonnegative integer cost and an effect.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Ultimate Truths
|-
! Name !! Cost !! Effect
|-
| The Colour of Magic || 1 || Whenever you gain mana, you gain one additional mana (this does not count as a separate mana gain)
|}

Each Necromancer has a publicly tracked list of Discovered Truths. At any time, a Necromancer may Discover an Ultimate Truth that is not already in their Discovered Truths by spending an amount of Knowledge equal to the cost of that Ultimate Truth, and add it to their Discovered Truths. The effects of a Ultimate Truth apply to the Necromancers who have it in their Discovered Truths and to them only.

If the proposal “Location, Location, Location” enacted, add the following new location:

| Library | At any time, you may spend 15 mana to gain 1 Knowledge ||

In “Fair Play”, replace “A Necromancer should not trade actions in BlogNomic for favors or compensation outside of BlogNomic, nor trade actions in any other game for favors within BlogNomic.” with:-

A Necromancer should not trade actions in the current BlogNomic dynasty for favors or compensation outside of that dynasty (including in other games and past and future BlogNomic dynasties), nor trade actions in any other game for favors within BlogNomic.

In the subrule “The Hourglass”, replace the text “apply the Effects of their Location to that Necromancer” with this text:

perform any Hourglass Action described in the Effects of their Location to that Necromancer.

In the subrule “Locations”, add the following text:

The Effects of a Location only apply to a Necromancer if they have that Location.

In the same subrule, replace the Effects of the Tower with this text:

Hourglass Action: The Necromancer gains 10 Mana.

Add a new rule called “Backdoor Alpha”

If a proposal specifies a dynastic rule as a “Long Term Rule” then the value of “X” when establishing its Death Date should be the current date plus 21 rather than 14
 
If a proposal specifies a dynastic rule as a “Short Term Rule” then the value of “X” when establishing its Death Date should be the current date plus 7 rather than 14

If Proposal: You Too Can Be A Necromancer! was not enacted then this proposal has no further effect.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Shamblers:

Central to the art of Necromancy is the skill to reanimate corpses.

A Cohort is made up of Shamblers, which may be Skeletons, Zombies or Ghouls. Each Necromancer has a Cohort, which is publicly tracked and which may be expressed in the form ‘xS, yZ, zG’, where x, y and z are numbers, referring to the number of Skeletons, Zombies and Ghouls in that Necromancer’s Cohort, respectively.

As a daily action, a Necromancer may spend 5 Mana to Reanimante a Corpse. Reanimating a Corpse is an atomic action with the following steps:
* If your current location has no Corpses, this action ends with no further effect;
* Reduce the number of Corpses in this location by 1;
* Generate the age of the Corpse by rolling DICE100. If the Corpse’s age is 40 or over, then the Corpse is Reanimated as a Skeleton. Otherwise, generate its malevolence by rolling DICE8; if the result is lower than 6 then the Corpse is Reanimated as a Zombie, and if it is not then it is Reanimated as a Ghoul;
* Add the resulting Shambler to your Cohort.

In the rule Locations, change ‘Each Location has Effects’ to ‘Each Location has Effects, and may also have a number of Corpses’, and give Tower zero Corpses. Add a new Location as follows:

| Graveyard || When roling a dice in a Reanimate Corpses action, may treat a single dice roll as if the result were one greater or lower. As a communal weekly action, any Necromancer may increase the Corpses of this Location by 10. || 10

Add a new rule named “The Dark Arts”, and give it the following text:

The following are publicly-tracked for each Necromancer:
* Mana: A number that defaults to 0.
* Location: One of the values described in the Locations subrule, defaulting to Tower.

Add a subrule in “The Dark Arts” named “Locations” and give it the following text:

The possible values for Location are described in the table below. Each Location has Effects.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Locations
|-
! Location !! Effects
|-
| Tower || The Necromancer gains 10 Mana.
|}

In the subrule “The Hourglass” add the following bullet point as the first step of the Sands of the Hourglass atomic action:

* For each Necromancer, apply the Effects of their Location to that Necromancer.

Add a new rule named “Death” and give it the following text:

Whenever a new dynastic rule is added (other than this rule), the enacting admin must insert “Death Date: X” (where X is the current date plus 14 days) at the top of the rule between the templates {{Flair top|Stone tablet}} and {{Flair bottom}}. The Death Date of a rule is the value of Death Date contained within this Flair inside that rule. The Death Date of a rule may not be modified or removed by any Proposal after the rule has been added to the ruleset, except in the case where the rule itself is repealed.

Proposals not authored by the Grim Reaper may not contain instructions to do any of the following operations on the rule named “Death” or any of its subrules:
* Add, modify, or remove text, with the following exceptions:
** Proposals may contain instructions to add any number of bullet points to the Sands of the Hourglass atomic action described in the subrule “The Hourglass”
** Proposals may contain instructions to repeal the entire rule named “Death” and all of its subrules
* Add any subrules
* Rename the rule or any of its subrules

Add a subrule to “Death” named “The Hourglass” and give it the following text:

As a Daily Action, the Grim Reaper should execute the Sands of the Hourglass, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Repeal each dynastic rule and its subrules where that rule has a Death Date older than the current date.
* Remove each step in this atomic action that refers to any orphaned variables.

The Old King’s spirit drifted out of his body as the Grim Reaper completed the swing of their scythe, severing soul from corpse. As it drifted away, the Grim Reaper stood back, satisfied by their work. Something caught their attention…the Grim Reaper sniffed the air, and then vanished.

Hundreds of miles away, a group of Necromancers gathered to perform their midnight rituals under a starless sky, using the energy of the night to recharge their powers. As they tapped into the necrotic energy field, each one felt the same disturbance - a sign of a powerful force approaching, and there was no doubt to any of them what it was. Seconds later, the Grim Reaper appeared among them and spoke in their minds.

“You continue to interfere with the natural order of life and death, despite my earlier warnings to you. I will now be forced to take more drastic measures. You will find your abilities waning over time, as each power you have created dies by my hand. Do not forget who has dominion over Death!”

As quick as they appeared, the Grim Reaper disappeared. The necromancers were silent for a moment, then began whispering among each other. After some debate, they all agreed on a plan. They would have to find a way to overcome the Grim Repear’s promise to kill off their powers, but more importantly, one of them would need to discover the steps necessary to become the new Grim Reaper and stop this threat once and for all.

The dynasty’s theme shall be “Necromancy”.

Repeal all dynastic rules except for the rule named “Hibernation”, reset all Special Case rules to their default values, and fail all Proposals except those making changes to the Core Rules, the Special Case Rules or the Appendix Rules.

Set the synonym for Player to “Necromancer” and the synonym for Emperor to “Grim Reaper”.

Change the gamestate tracking page to “The Graveyard”.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called Hibernation:

This rule may not be repealed as a direct result of the posting of an Ascension Address. No Heir may be made idle unless it is after 29 December 2023. If it is after 29 December 2023 then any Heir may remove this rule from the ruleset.

Because the Seasonal Downtime is coming up soon, I’d rather not post the Ascension Address until after that, which means that the next dynasty won’t start until December 27, 2023.

As discussed in Discord, this is a week away, which means most everyone would become idle, but you can become unidle during a Hiatus (as long as there isn’t a pending DoV). So, maybe make a comment or two in this thread over the next few days just to keep from going idle.

I’ll remind folks about this about four days from now.

Post-dynastic discussion thread. Please proceed around the coffin at a sombre but not unnecessarily slow pace; strictly no maudlin wailing.

The Old King has become Perished. My single strongest Claim is Eldest, which is at Strength 40 minus my Stress of 3 for a total of 37. This is stronger than any other Heir’s strongest Claim, therefore I have achieved victory.

I have performed the Legitimize action

In the rule “Influence”, replace both instances of
“Remove the selected Resource from that Heir’s Resources.”
with “Spend the selected Resource.”

In “Business”, replace “Additionally, Existing Business has Status which can either be Wildly Unpopular, Unpopular, Somewhat Unpopular, Neutral, Somewhat Popular, Popular or Wildly Popular and by default is Neutral.” with:-

Additionally, Existing Business has Status which can either be Backed, Neutral or Resisted and by default is Neutral.

In “Resolving a Meeting”, replace “If the Existing Business is Somewhat Popular, add 1 to this total. If it is Popular, add 3 and if it is Wildly Popular Add 5.” with:-

If the Existing Business is Backed, add 1 to this total.

In “Resolving a Meeting”, replace “If the Existing Business is Somewhat Unpopular, add 1 to this total. If it is Unpopular, add 3 and if it is Wildly Unpopular Add 5.” with:-

If the Existing Business is Resisted, add 1 to this total.

Within the most recently posted Tyngwall: give the Backed status to all Business which was either Popular or Wildly Popular prior to this proposal’s enactment, and give the Resisted status to all Business which was Unpopular or Wildly Unpopular prior to this rule’s enactment.

Add a dynastic rule, “The Favoured Heir”:-

Let it be known that the Old King’s favoured Heir is the Heir named Snisbo. The Old King is permitted to ignore the Fair Play restriction on traded favours in relation to any pre-existing agreement they might have with the Heir named Snisbo, during this dynasty.

If https://blognomic.com/archive/a_touch_of_the_plague passes, this proposal does nothing.

In the rule “Claims”, replace “a nonnegative integer value for Strength” with “a publicly tracked nonnegative integer value for Strength”.

In “Transition of Power”, replace “may perform the Legitimize atomic action, which is to perform the Appraise atomic action for every Claim. When the Legitimize action is complete, the Heir whose single strongest Claim is stronger than all other Heirs’ strongest Claims achieves victory.” with:-

may perform the Legitimize atomic action, which is to perform the Appraise atomic action for every Claim and then to post a blog entry announcing that this has been done; upon such a blog entry being posted, the Heir whose single strongest Claim is stronger than all other Heirs’ strongest Claims achieves victory.

In the condition of the “Religious” claim, replace “Have the most instances of Wealth in your Resources among all Heirs” with:-

* Roll DICE5 and add the result to Death Rattle.
* If Death Rattle is at least 15, the Old King is no longer Ill and becomes Perished.

Remove the orphaned variables Old King’s Health and Old King’s Stress from gamestate tracking.

In the rule “Royal Obligations”, remove the text “Perform the Check Health action”.

Add the following rows to the table of Tracts in the rule Estates:

Caretaker’s Hut | This estate gains 1 Prestige.
Markets | The Palatine of this estate may pay one of a given resource to earn one of a different resource.
Poorhouse | The Palatine of this estate gains 4 Reputation, and this estate loses 2 Prestige.
Gardens | The Palatine of this estate may reduce their stress by up to 4.
Private Kitchens | The Palatine of this estate increases the health of the Old King by 4, or decreases the health of the Old King by 4.

In the rule “Transition of Power” replace the text “the Heir whose single strongest Claim is stronger than all other Heirs’ strongest Claims achieves victory. If multiple Heirs are tied for strongest, their next-strongest Claims are successively compared.” with this text:

the Heir who has the highest total Claim Strength, which is all of that Heir’s Claim Strengths added together, achieves victory. If multiple Heirs are tied for highest total Claim Strength, the Heir with the highest Reputation among those Heirs achieves victory. If multiple Heirs are tied for highest total Claim Strength and highest Reputation, the Heir with the highest total Estate Prestige, which is all of that Heir’s Estate Prestiges added together, among those Heirs achieves victory.

Create a subrule of “Transition of Power” called “Royal Assent”:-

To the rule “Tyngwall”, add:-

If an action is defined as a Court action, it is considered an atomic action of performing that action and then posting a comment to the most recent Meeting of the Tyngwall clearly identifying that action. An Heir may not perform a Court action if they have already performed that action since the most recent Meeting of the Tyngwall was posted or (in the case where it is a communal Court action) if any Heir has done so since that time.

Create a rule called “Duchies”, with the following text:

There exists a kind of claim known as a Duchy, representing major titles held in the history of the kingdom that later became defunct. As an Act of Subterfuge, an Heir may take the Forge Claim atomic action, which has the following steps:
* Add a new Claim to the Claims in the rule Claims with a name that starts with “Duchy of “.
* Set the Type to Standard (Duchy), the Strength to 0, and the disown list to blank.
* Set the Condition to “Be the Palatine of the Estate which has a name of ‘X’”, replacing X with the name of any estate you are the Palatine of and which has a Prestige of 10 or greater. (Where that Estate name is held within that condition, it is not permitted to be interpreted as anything other than an Estate name.)
* Reduce your Reputation by 12.

When a Duchy claim has an Heir added to its Disown list, if that Heir is the Palatine of the Estate named in its Condition, the Heir with the highest reputation becomes the Palatine of that Estate. (In the case of a tie, the age of those Heirs should act as a tie-breaker, with the older Heir getting the Estate. If that still results in a Tie, the Old King becomes the Palatine of that Estate.)

In the rule Claims, replace the line “a type (Minor, Irremediable, or Standard, defaulting to Standard)” with

a type (Minor, Irremediable, or Standard, defaulting to Standard), and optionally a Subtype of Duchy.

Add the following bullet point to the Appraise any Claim action in the rule Claims

Add the following to “Influence”

To spend a Resource means for an Heir to remove one of that Resource from their Resources—an Heir cannot spend a resource they don’t have

Add the following to “Estates”

An Estate’s Size is Equal to the number of Tracts it has. The Palatine of an Estate may spend a number of different resources equal to that Estate’s Size to add a Tract of their choice to it (each resource spent must be different).

* Repeat the preceeding 3 steps one more time to generate a second piece of New Business.

If the Proposal “Detangling the Tyngwall” was not enacted, add the following bullet point to this same list as the first bullet point in the list:

* For each piece of Existing Business, randomly select the number of non-Heir Parliamentarians that support it, and then calculate the remaining number of non-Heir Parliamentarians that oppose it.

In the rule “Tyngwall”, replace “If an Heir meets the criteria to be a Parliamentarian then they are a Parliamentarian” with “If an Heir meets at least four of the criteria to be a Parlamentarian then they are a Parlamentarian”.

In “Resolving a meeting” add

To determine if more Parliamentarians support or oppose a piece of Existing Business, calculate the number of Parliamentarians who are Heirs and expressed support to the piece of Existing Business in the meeting post. If the Existing Business is Somewhat Popular, add 1 to this total. If it is Popular, add 3 and if it is Wildy Popular Add 5. This is it’s Total Support. Then calculate the number of Parliamentarians who are Heirs and expressed opposition to the piece of Existing Business in the meeting post. If the Existing Business is Somewhat Unpopular, add 1 to this total. If it is Unpopular, add 3 and if it is Wildy Unpopular Add 5. This is it’s Total Opposition. Finally, compare the Total Support against the Total Opposition—if it is higher, more Parliamentarians support it. Otherwise, more Parliamentarians oppose it.

In “Tyngwall”, replace “a Parliamentarian must have one of the Astute, Menacing, Ambitious, Charismatic, or Knavish Features” with:-

In the case of any Claim whose Criteria contains a superlative (eg ‘highest’, ‘lowest’, ‘longest’ etc) that superlate is considered non-exclusive (i.e. if two or more Heirs are tied for its Criteria they are all considered to have the Claim). If more than one Heir has any given Claim, the Strength of that Claim for the purposes of all other rules (excluding subrules to this rule) is considered to be its Strength (as listed in the subrules to this rule) divided by the number of Heirs who hold it, rounded down.

If the proposal “Shoving Aside” was enacted, this proposal has no effect.

Add a new subrule under the rule “Succession”, titled “Assassination”, with the following content:

If an Heir’s Age is ever 75 or greater, the only dynastic action they can legally take is Nominating a Successor.

Add the following to the end of the rule Estates:

At any time, an Heir may spend one Resource to increase the Prestige of the Estate of which they are the Palatine by 3, or by 5 if they have the Beneficial Aspect associated with the spent Resource.

In the rule Successors, add the following to the end of the second bullet point:

and remove themselves from the Disown list of any Claims

If “Jumping Straight into Marriage” failed, this proposal does nothing. Otherwise:

Add the following subrules to Marriage:

Prospect True Love:

Description: Marrying for love can make you a better person, but alas, it’s considered political suicide.
Requirements: Since the most recent time you joined the dynasty or nominated a Successor (whichever is most recent), you must not have Married.
Benefit: For the purposes of all rules except “Features” and “Marriage” (and its subrules), you are considered to have no Flaws. You cannot perform Acts of Subterfuge.

Prospect Land Owner:

Description: They might not be noble, but they’re wealthy and respected.
Requirements: One of your Estates must have a Prestige which is higher than the median Estate Prestige.
Alimony: Set the Palatine of one of your Estates to the Old King. If you are the Palatine of an Estate, reduce its prestige by 3.
Gift: You may create an Estate by choosing a name for it, setting yourself to be the Palatine, and setting its prestige to DICE5.

Prospect Politician:

Description: There’s more than one way to get your say in the Tyngwall, though you may end up overshadowed.
Requirements:
Benefit: You are considered to be a Parliamentarian, irrespective of any criteria you do not meet. When you would gain reputation from gaining a Claim from the Appraise any Claim action, you instead gain 0 reputation.
Alimony: Your flaw becomes Impoverished, and you lose all Wealth from your resources.

If the proposal Domesday did not pass, remove “from the Appraise any Claim action” from the rule Prospect Politician.

If the proposal Arranged Marriage passed, this proposal does nothing. Otherwise:

Remove the text “If an Heir is Married to a Prospect, no other Heir may have their Spouse set to the name of that Prospect.” from the rule Marriage, “The list of Prospects is as follows:” from that rule, and append to that rule:

Marriage is a weekly action that can only be performed by an Heir whose Spouse is None. Divorce is a weekly action that can only be performed when an Heir has a Spouse other than None.

Where a subrule of this rule begins with Prospect, the remainder of that rule’s title is the Vocation of that prospect, and the body of that rule contains the rest of that Prospect’s details.

Everywhere in the rule Marriage that the word Name appears, replace it with Vocation.

In the rule Faithful, replace its Condition with:

Since the most recent time you joined the dynasty or nominated a Successor (whichever is most recent), you must not have performed the Divorce action.

In “Claims”, replace “An Heir who meets the conditions for a Claim is considered to have gained that claim until such a time as they no longer meet those conditions.” with:-

Each Heir may hold zero or more Claims; this is publicly tracked.

Replace “An Heir whose name is on the Disown list for a Claim may not gain, hold or otherwise have any right to that Claim.” with:-

An Heir whose name is on the Disown list for a Claim is never considered to meet that Claim’s conditions.

Add to the end of that rule:-

Any any time, an Heir or the Old King may Appraise any Claim, as an atomic action:
* Each Heir who meets the Claim’s conditions and doesn’t already hold that Claim begins to hold it, and (if it is a Standard Claim) gains 4 Reputation
* Each Heir who does not meet the Claim’s conditions and holds that Claim ceases to hold it, and (if it is a Standard or Irremediable Claim) loses 4 Reputation

Remove the paragraph beginning “Whenever an Heir begins meeting the conditions of” from the rule “Reputation”.

Remove all Claims from all Heirs. Then, for each Claim, each Heir who meets its conditions starts holding it.

In the rule “Marriage” add a subrule named “Intent to Marry” with the following text:

A blog post with the Story Post category where the title of the post begins with the text “Intent to Marry: ” followed by the name of a Prospect to which no Heir is Married is known as an Intent to Marry. A Propsect in an Intent to Marry may not be the Prospect in another Intent to Marry within a 96-hour period. A Dowry is a number associated with an Intent to Marry, with a default value of 0.

If an Heir with a Spouse set to None has not done so within the past 48 hours, they may make an Intent to Marry with the name of the Prospect they want to have as their Spouse, provided that they meet the Requirements of that Prospect. This Heir becomes the Intended for that Intent to Marry.

Within 48 hours after an Intent to Marry has been posted, any Heir whose Spouse is set to None and who meets the Requirements for the Prospect of that Intent to Marry may comment on that Intent to Marry with the text “I challenge this marriage with a Reputation of X”, where X is a positive number between 1 and that Heir’s Reputation at the time of the commment and X is larger than the current Dowry for that Intent to Marry. If such a comment is made, the Dowry for that Intent to Marry is set to X, and the Heir making this comment becomes the Intended for that Intent to Marry. Any comment meeting this requirement is known as a Challenge for that Intent to Marry.

If at least 48 hours have passed after an Intent to Marry has been posted, and it has not yet been done for that Intent to Marry, the Intended for that Intent to Marry should perform the Arranged Marriage action, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* For each Heir posting at least one valid Challenge for that Intent to Marry, determine the highest value of Reputation mentioned among that Heir’s Challenges in that Intent to Marry and subtract this value from their Reputation.
* Perform the Marriage atomic action with the Prospect of that Intent to Marry as the Prospect being chosen for the Marriage atomic action.

If the Intended for an Intent to Marry does not perform the Arranged Marriage action within 96 hours after the posting of that Intent to Marry, that Intended is known as a Cad. If it has not yet been done to a specific Cad in this dynasty, any Heir may perform the Punish Cad action by subtracting 4 from that Cad’s Reputation. A Cad may never post an Intent to Marry nor comment on an Intent to Marry.

Add the following to “Claims”

Claims may be Minor, Irremediable, or Standard and default to Standard

Set the “Positive Reputation” claim to be Minor. Set the “Faithful” claim to be “Irremediable”

In “Reputation” replace

Whenever an Heir begins meeting the conditions of a claim, if they did so outside of an Act of Subterfuge atomic action, they gain 4 reputation. Whenever an Heir gains a claim as a direct result of one of the steps of an Act of Subterfuge atomic action that they performed, they lose 4 reputation. Whenever an Heir loses a claim, they lose 4 reputation.

with

Whenever an Heir begins meeting the conditions of a standard claim, if they did so outside of an Act of Subterfuge atomic action, they gain 4 reputation. Whenever an Heir gains a standard claim as a direct result of one of the steps of an Act of Subterfuge atomic action that they performed, they lose 4 reputation. Whenever an Heir loses a standard or irremediable claim, they lose 4 reputation.

Reduce the reputation of all Heirs by 4

If the proposal https://blognomic.com/archive/stepping_aside does not pass, this proposal does nothing

Add a subrule to “Succession” called “Assassination” and give it the following text

As an Act of Subterfuge atomic action, an Heir with positive reputation may attempt to assassinate another Heir. To do so, they roll a DICE10, clearly and indistinguishably naming the heir they wish to assassinate in the same comment used to make the dice roll.

If the result of the roll is 6 or less, the attempt fails and the Heir who performed the action is caught and loses 10 reputation

If the result of the roll is 7 to 9, the attempt succeeds, but and the Heir who performed the action still caught in the act and still loses 10 reputation

If the result of the roll is 10, the attempt succeeds and the Heir who performed the action gets away with no penalty.

If the attempt succeeds, the Heir performing the action immediately performs atomic action of nominating a Successor on behalf of the Heir they targeted.

Idle me please. Got a busy time coming up, won’t have time to check the blog

Add the following to the end of the second paragraph in the rule Attributes:

An Heir with a forename, at least one Feature and an Estate may be referred to using the formulation ‘the x y of z’ or ‘y the x, of z’, where x is any Feature possessed by that Heir, y is their Forename, and z is the name of their Estate. If the Feature used in such a formulation is an Aspect then it is a Respectful Address; if it is a Flaw then it is a Shocking Insult.
