Proposal: Antagonist

Passed, 9-1, reaches Quorum. 3 counted votes with the text “You gotta earn it”, so Angry Grasshopper becomes a Grue. Gentlemen, may I suggest a lamp?

Add a rule called “Characters” and reading as follows:

=== Characters ===

Each subsection of this Rule defines a Role that may be assumed by Protagonists.  A Protagonist may assume a maximum of one Role at any time.  Protagonists’ Roles are denoted in the GNDT field “Role”.  New Protagonists have no Role.

==== Grue ====

The classic monster.  Eats fresh flesh, flees from light.  There may be a maximum of two Grues at any time.

Add the “Role” field to the GNDT.  Make Angry Grasshopper a Grue.

If over half the comments containing counted votes also contain the text “Gotta earn it”, ignore the previous sentence.

Dare I ask for rationale, Aaron?  ;)

The one current comment I have on this is that nothing explains what is going to be in the subsection text. It seems informative, like flavor text (and isn’t even in the form of complete sentences). However, there is another sentence which seems normative involving the number of Grues. Does having that Role indicate that you must, in fact, flee from light, if you were ever put into a place that had light?

I will say that I like the idea that all of that text would be normative and thereby vote for.

I am also going to mentally mark this rule as something that would need to be changed if we go for some form of NPCs ((Non-Protagonist Characters ;P) in the future.
