Proposal: All Aboard!! and New Building Block

Add a sub rule in rule “Isles of BoardGamia” called “The Networks” with the description:

Space 0 on Spirit Island is considered adjacent to Space 1 on The Island of Kittens for all Dynastic Rules. Space 100 on The Island of Kittens is considered adjacent to Space 101 on Kahuna for all Dynastic Rules. Space 200 on Kahuna is considered adjacent to Space 201 on Forbidden Island for all Dynastic Rules. Space 300 on Forbidden Island is considered adjacent to Space 301 on Hellapagos for all Dynastic Rules.

—————————————————————————————————————————

And in Rule “Building Blocks”, add a subrule called “Constructive Criticism” with the description:

As a weekly action, the Monarchple may make a Story Post with a list or summary of suggestions for Meeple to use to help guide future proposals in a direction for the dynasty.

And add copy the subrule “Constructive Criticism” and its contents from the “Building Blocks” rule to the Building Blocks wiki page as a rule of the same name.

You posted this in the wrong category, I think – it looks like a proposal, and we don’t have any types of Story Post defined.

If it is meant to be a proposal, you can move it into the correct category using “if a post is less than six hours old and appears to the Monarchple to have been intended as a Proposal, and if its author does not already have two Proposals pending, then the Monarchple may move it into the Proposal category” from Official Posts.

On a separate note, I think you’re allowed to make that sort of Story Post even without ruleset encouragement, although I’m not opposed to a rule formalising it. You might not want to limit it to weekly, in case you want to give suggestions more often.

Ah, I see it’s a Proposal now.

I mean fair. I just thought since it would help to at least give a reason to inform non-Discord crew what is going on.

I do think it helps – and surprisingly, it’s an idea that I don’t remember having been tried before. It’s something you could do even without rules support, but adding it to the rules makes it more officially a major part of the dynasty, which might be a good reason to do that.

Anyways, as for the networks thing, I just thought it would be something to have it where the islands can be connected and that later on, could have a “toll booth tax” for some to leave an island to come to another.

@Raven1207: do you intend for “Constructive Criticism” to be a true Building Block, in that it could be used for future dynasties? If so, you should add an instruction to copy it to the wiki page of the same name. Something like this below:


Copy the subrule “Constructive Criticism” and its contents from the “Building Blocks” rule to the Building Blocks wiki page as a rule of the same name.

Going idle as I’m not wanting to play a dice rolling board game at this point in time. Player count is 10, quorum is 6.

against on SB’s concern, and also on the new Building Block; I believe very strongly that the Emperor is not an especially privilged position, past the AA and the initial proposals, and forcefully oppose measures to give the role more heft - the Emperor should not have the power to formally direct the game. That power is reserved solely for the players.
