Proposal: Bad Reputation

Timed out 7 votes to 2. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 10 May 2020 10:10:44 UTC

Add a new rule called “Reputation” and give it the following text

Each Amnesiac has an integer Reputation, which defaults to 0 and is privately tracked by the Past Memory.

Role Actionsare a type of Action which may only be performed by any Amnesiac who has a Posture which matches a Role specified by the Role Action.

As a Daily Action, if an Amnesiac (the acuser) belives another Amnesiac (the acusee) performed an Role Action which is not allowed by the acusee’s actual Role, the acuser may send the Past Memory an Accusation. An accusation must be sent within 24 hours of the original action being performed, and an Amnesiac may only send an accusation once for each instance of an action being performed. After receiving an Accusation, the Past Memory should Resolve the Accusation by giving the Acuser two Reputation and causing the Acusee to lose one Reputation (If auccee’s actual Role at the time the action was performed did not allow them to perform the Role Action), or giving the Acusee one Reputation and causing the Acuser to lose two Reputation (If the aucee’s actual Role at the time the action was performed did allow them to perform the Role Aciton)

As a weekly action, after Resolving all Acusations sent in the prior week but before Resolving any Acusations sent in the current week, the Past Memory should make a story post to the blog naming the Amnesiac with the highest Reputation (or that no such Amnesiac exists), and the Amnesiac with the lowest Reputation (or that no such Amnesiac exists). If named, then for the rest of the week the Amnesiac with the highest Reputation is the Hero and the one with the lowest Reputation is the Villian.

Adding a way for us to start allowing people with asserted roles to take actions associated with those roles, but potentially face consequences. Everything kept secret so you can’t just tell that your guess was correct but if you might be able to infer stuff from who the hero and the villian are.

imperial Seems like a lot of work, and also runs the risk of retreading Versailles.

Actionsare, acuser, auccee, aucee

imperial Looks like you’re going in a direction similar to Coup. I think that makes sense, but I just don’t see this dynasty going that direction. The posture mechanic is admittedly similar to Coup, but I personally didn’t see the dynasty going in that direction, especially since we don’t know our roles. Seems like just a really rude way of trying to figure out what a player’s role is. But I’ll endorse the emperor here.

imperial Deferring on the grounds of Emperor effort required.

[Trigon] I think there’s some mileage in a hidden role dynasty where we all have to do some work to find out what our hidden role is, before using it with confidence. While still having the option to bluff based on partial information, or no information at all.

against I would defer if there weren’t so many obvious typos. (Which are legally fixable, but not a promising sign of good drafting.)

@Trigon If we want different roles to take different actions, we either need to gate the action on Naught to control who can actually do what (something which naught already shot down) or base the actions on Posture rather than actual role, in which case you really want some sort of ‘you can’t actually do that’ system or otherwise your actual role doesn’t matter)

@Tantusar zero reason for that level of rudeness. period.

As someone who also typoes regularly and enthusiasticly, it doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of drafting, thanks.

I apologise, although I was not trying to be rude.

it’s all good. just frustrating to spend time writing a proposal and then someone just go “doesn’t seem like this was well drafted” without any conversation on the actual content
