Proposal: Build it and they will come…

Timed out, and failed 2 votes to 4. Failed by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, ‘Places of Worship’:

There exist four types of special buildings: Altars, Shrines, Temples, and the Cathedral. A Kaiju God may, once per day, choose to create an Altar, a Shrine, or a Temple in a single Neighborhood, assuming the new placement would be valid. Altars, Shrines, and Temples for a Neighborhood are listed under their relevant categories on the City wiki page, with the name of each Kaiju God who has such a building there. The Cathedral is a special, unique building, which exists only in the Neighborhood named Tokyo, with its own category listing there.

Add a new subrule to ‘Places of Worship’, titled ‘Altars’:

When allowed, an altar may be placed in a Neighborhood, assuming the Kaiju God doesn’t have an altar already in that Neighborhood, the population of that Neighborhood is greater than the number of non-destroyed altars already in that Neighborhood, and there is at least one vacancy. Unless another rule supercedes this, placing an altar will reduce the number of buildings for the Neighborhood by 1. When an altar is built, the Kaiju God will list eir name under the ‘Altars’ category of the Neighborhood. If a Kaiju God’s Altar in a Neighborhood is ever destroyed, then the word ‘destroyed’ will be listed in parentheses after eir name under ‘Altars’, and the Kaiju God may not build another there.

Add a new subrule to ‘Places of Worship’, titled ‘Shrines’:

When allowed, a shrine may be placed in a Neighborhood, assuming the Kaiju God has an altar already present there, the Kaiju God doesn’t have a shrine already in that Neighborhood, the population of that Neighborhood is greater than five times the number of non-destroyed shrines already in that Neighborhood, and there are at least two vacancies. Unless another rule supercedes this, placing a shrine will reduce the number of buildings for the Neighborhood by 2. When a shrine is built, the Kaiju God will list eir name under the ‘Shrines’ category of the Neighborhood. If a Kaiju God’s Shrine in a Neighborhood is ever destroyed, then the word ‘destroyed’ will be listed in parentheses after eir name under ‘Shrines’, and the Kaiju God may not build another there.

Add a new subrule to ‘Places of Worship’, titled ‘Temples’:

When allowed, a temple may be placed in a Neighborhood, assuming the Kaiju God has a shrine already present there, the Kaiju God doesn’t already have a temple there, the population of that Neighborhood is greater than ten times the number of non-destroyed temples already in that Neighborhood, and there are at least 5 vacancies. Unless another rule supercedes this, placing a temple will reduce the number of buildings for the Neighborhood by 5. When a temple is built, the Kaiju God will list eir name under the ‘Temples’ category of the Neighborhood. If a Kaiju God’s Temple in a Neighborhood is ever destroyed, then the word ‘destroyed’ will be listed in parentheses after eir name under Temples, and the Kaiju God may not build another there.

Add a new subrule to ‘Places of Worship’, titled ‘The Cathedral’:

There is a listing for ‘Cathedral:’ in the Neighborhood named Tokyo. Underneath this are listed the names of Tokyo, and of any other Kaiju Gods who are directed by the rules to place their names there.

If the Proposal: “Urban Clearance II” failed, then to each Neighborhood that is not destroyed, and has headers already in place for ‘Buildings’ and ‘Population’ in the City wiki page, add categories for ‘Altars:’, ‘Shrines:’, and ‘Temples:’, and add the name ‘Tokyo’ beneath each of those categories (without reducing the number of buildings); in addition, to the neighborhood named ‘Tokyo’, add a category listing for ‘Cathedral:’, and add the name ‘Tokyo’ beneath that.

If the Proposal: “Urban Clearance II” failed, then in the ‘The City and Neighborhoods’ rule, change

After renaming a Neighborhood entry, they shall add the text “Buildings:” and the text “Population:” to the section they renamed.

to

After renaming a Neighborhood entry, they shall add the text “Buildings:”, the text “Population:”, the text ‘Altars:’, the text ‘Shrines:’, and the text ‘Temples:’ to the section they renamed. Add the name ‘Tokyo’ underneath each of the ‘Altars’, ‘Shrines’, and ‘Temples’ categories for that Neighborhood, without reducing the number of buildings.

If the Proposal: “Urban Clearance II” passed, then in the ‘The City and Neighborhoods’ rule, change

After renaming a Neighborhood entry, they shall add the text “Buildings:” and the text “Population:” to the section they renamed.

to

After renaming a Neighborhood entry, they shall add the text “Buildings:”, the text “Population:”, the text ‘Altars:’, the text ‘Shrines:’, and the text ‘Temples:’ to the section they renamed. Add the name ‘Tokyo’, followed by the name of the Kaiju God (if other than Tokyo) renaming the Neighborhood underneath each of the ‘Altars’, ‘Shrines’, and ‘Temples’ categories for that Neighborhood, without reducing the number of buildings.

If the Proposal: “Urban Clearance II” passed, then to each Neighborhood that is not destroyed, and has headers already in place for ‘Buildings’ and ‘Population’ in the City wiki page, add categories for ‘Altars:’, ‘Shrines:’, and ‘Temples:’, and add the names ‘Tokyo’ and the name of that Neighborhood’s Patron Kaiju God (if other than Tokyo) beneath each of those categories (without reducing the number of buildings); in addition, to the neighborhood named ‘Tokyo’, add a category listing for ‘Cathedral:’, and add the name ‘Tokyo’.

Pretty neat, although it’s a bit much to do all at once.

*At the very beginning, you call them special buildings, but I don’t think that’s a good idea; building already has a specific meaning this dynasty, and these clearly are not acting like buildings.

*Altars, Shrines, and Temples should probably require Vacancy at least equal to 10 times the number of buildings that will be destroyed upon their creation.

*Several instances of “Tokyo” should probably be changed to “Josh”.

against, mostly for thematic reasons. I want giant monsters smashing a modern industrial city, and that’s all.

Agreed with Kevan. More Rampage, less Black and White {:0p

for It looks like a nice idea, but what would be the benefit of Altars, Temples, etc.?
