Proposal: Balancing Act

Failed by Kevan, 2 votes to 8 - cannot reach quorum.

Adminned at 06 Jul 2006 00:44:37 UTC

Create a Dynastic Rule called “Resistance” with text:

Each Traveller has a numerical Paradox Resistance (PR), which is tracked in the GNDT.  PR may be negative.  If any Traveller’s PR would become greater than 150, it becomes 150 instead.  New Travellers begin with 100 PR.  If no Traveller has done so within the last 6 Real Days, any Traveller may increase the PR of each Traveller by 10. 

Whenever a Traveller’s TL is lowered (i.e. goes backward in Game Time), that Traveller loses 2 PR.
Whenever a Traveller’s TL is changed to a Game Date which was not in eir Range immediately before the change, that Traveller loses 15 PR.
Whenever a Traveller sets eir TL to [t]/[x]/[y] (as in the Rule “The Continuum”), that Traveller loses 6 PR.

For the purposes of achieving a suitable balance, The Arbiter may change the numeric values in this Rule at any time, provided that e makes a post to the Main Page detailing the changes.

Set each Traveller’s PR to 100
Set the Arbiter’s PR to 78

against No arbitrary powers for you, yet.

Plus the numbers seem off.  ‘The continuum’ cost should be in lieu of the previous cost.

Well, a Traveller who is far away from all other Travellers can probably get away with a few pretty powerful Local Proposals, possibly inluding at least one which helps em offset the expensive cost of jumping great distances in time.

against This smacks too much of the fitness/temporary fitness of the last dynasty.  Let’s have something completely different in this dynasty.

against Change of vote, maybe this is too much. The described changes would actually be more interesting if directly applied to Influence.
