Proposal: Anarchy Is Fun

Reached quorum 6 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 15 Jul 2023 16:52:17 UTC

Create a new dynastic rule named “Order” with the following body:

Order is a publicly tracked non-negative integer value that defaults to 50 and is capped at 100. If Order would be set to a value below 0 or over 100, it will be set to 0 or 100 respectively.

was thinking that Order could maybe tie into Graffiti or the System of Control in some way, could be a fun tug of war since both the side of chaos and the side of order could grant certain buffs/debuffs

Would the “bring about chaos” key not just be handled as an agenda with something like “Have Order at 25 or less”?

now that I think about it, yeah, most people wouldn’t be willing to let order below X amount so that agenda would become worthless (unless we give people the means to bulk remove/add order)

could handle it like an exponential growth though, like, stacking up several moves that reduce chaos would reduce it overtime or something. could also just have a “maintain neutrality” key or something

My point wasn’t so much about the achievability, and more just that it’s two keys that handle the same concept. Admittedly there could be an additional mechanic on top, like how the Destroyed/Damaged Parts duo works.

mm, okay. don’t know about that then

my main objective there was to make it so that there isn’t one specific side that we have to avoid (order), although the Order key could go both ways now that I think about it

do you think it should be removed?

My gut feeling would be yes, but with the intent to re-add it if there’s a way to differentiate it from the Order key later.

Of course, I’m just one person. Others might feel differently.

i’ll remove it then

I have an idea for a “bring about upheaval” key but that’d require an additional mechanic so I’ll save it for later
