Proposal: Back on Track

Passes 9-1. Enacted by Clucky

Adminned at 03 Dec 2007 08:02:31 UTC

If either of the proposal “Freyja’s Armies” passes, this proposal does nothing.

Repel the rules “The final battle” and “Loki”.

Add a rule called “Training Skirmishes” which says the following

As a Daily Action, the Allfather may announce that a Skirmish has taken place in perperation for the Final Battle.

A Skirmish is announced by first rolling DICEX in the GNDT, where “X” is the number of numerical Einherjar Statistics, and where the roll has a comment of “Skirmish Check”. The number rolled shall be used to determine which of the numerical Einherjar Statistics is relevant to the Skirmish, by counting down from the top of the list in the “Statistics” rule - this Statistic is the “Challenged” Statistic.

Each Valkyrie who has recruited one or more Einherjar shall then have their Skirmish Ratings calculated - this is the total of the Challenged Statistics for each of that Valkyrie’s Einherjar.

Fólkvangr shall then have its Skirnish Rating calculated - this is the total of the Challenged Statistics for each of Fólkvangr’s Einherjar.

If Fólkvangr’s Skirmish Rating is higher than the combined Skirmish Rating of all Active Valkyries, then the Skirmish is lost, and all Valkyries lose 20 Acorns. The single Einherjar currently in Fólkvangr with the lowest value for the Challenged Statistic (if one exists) has fallen, and is transferred to the “Unrecruited Einherjar” list to ensure fairness in future training exercises.

If Fólkvangr’s Skirmish Rating is not higher than the combined Skirmish Rating of all Active Valkyries, then the single Valkyrie with the highest Skirmish Rating (if one exists) is triumphant, and receives 10 Acorns. The single Einherjar currently in Asgard with the lowest value for the Challenged Statistic (if one exists) has fallen, and is transferred to Fólkvangr’s section of the Einherjar page to ensure fairness in future training exercises.

After having calculated these results and made the changes required, the Allfather should post a blog entry summarising them, and also describing the opponent that the Einherjar faced.

The statistic “Tinkering” is ignored for purposes of Skirmishes.

In the rule “Recruiting” replace

If there are no (non-retracted) bids on the Einherjar, then the Einherjar is added to the list of Einherjar recruited by Loki.

with

If there are no (non-retracted) bids on the Einherjar, then the Einherjar is added to the list of Einherjar currently in Fólkvangr.

Add a rule called “Locations”

There exists an entity Fólkvangr that is not the Allfather or a Valkyrie but still may still have a section in the Einherjar page.

An Einherjar may be located in either Asgard, Fólkvangr or neither. If the Einherjar is recruited by an Valkyrie or the Allfather, then it is said to be located in Asgard. If the Einherjar is recruited by Fólkvangr, it is said to be located in Fólkvangr. If the Einherjar is in the “Unrecruited Einherjar” or “Disgraced Einherhar” list, then it is said to be located in neither.

Anywhere it appears in the ruleset, replace “Dead” with “Disgraced”

I know this is a lot of minor changes, but here is my reasoning for doing it:

Currently the dynasty is far off track from actual Norse Mythology. While this isn’t really a problem(for example, the Einherjar actually fight eachother, not those from Folkvangr in the training skirmishes), basically we were fighting the final battle in a manner totally not epic enough for the final battle. To me at least, it makes for sense for this to be the training exercises for the final battle. Secondly, the Loki change. Loki is a God, Einherjar fighting Loki would result in Loki pwning. Also Fighting Loki in training exercises doesn’t fit, so the change the training exercises requires fixing Loki. Finally, Einherjar don’t die. They always get revived at the end of the battle. However, the death mechanic could be useful, so might as well keep it in there under a different name. Also, if the Freyja proposal passes then I’ll just give up and fixing this dynasty and realize that it’ll be Norse in name and people only.

btw, I emailed Hix before posting it. He said it was OK to go ahead and suggest something to put the dynasty more back on track with Norse Mythology.

I thought we agreed that Hix could be transfered Einherjar but not bid on them. I could be mistaken… but having the phrase there doesn’t effect anything.
