Proposal: Brinksmanship, try 3

Timed out and failed, 6-4. Josh

Adminned at 06 Oct 2011 00:40:23 UTC

Create a new Dynastic Rule titled “Brinksmanship”:

Each Artist is either Well-Fed (default) or Starving, tracked in the GNDT.  As a Weekly Action, an Artist may become Well-Fed or Starving.

When a Starving Artist would, if not for this rule, lose X Acclaim, he instead loses X*2 Acclaim.  When an Artist who has been continuously Starving for the last three days would, if not for this rule, gain X Acclaim, he instead gains X*1.5 Acclaim.

Amend the Rule titled “Critical Acclaim” by replacing the first paragraph with:

All Artists have a score, tracked in the GNDT, entitled Acclaim. Acclaim must be a nonnegative decimal number and defaults to zero for new Artists.

 

Recursion explicitly prevented; ais523’s complaint about timing scams addressed by adding a delay between the penalty and the reward; increased multipliers so it’s more meaningful.

against I still disagree that Well-Fed is a reasonable default for artists.

against Still not sure about the game dynamic. We spent so much time doing that sort of thing last dynasty

against Just doesn’t really seem that interesting or expandable as a mechanic, to me.

[coppro] Why does that matter, when you can immediately change it for free?
