Proposal: Cell du Jour

Times out 7-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 04 Sep 2021 18:23:09 UTC

If the proposal “Census and Censurability” failed, this proposal has no further effect.

To “Adherents”, add two paragraphs:-

Each Cell has an amount of Buzz, reflecting some fleeting fame or notoriety among the grassroots citizens of the colony, and leading to the recruitment of further members. A Cell’s Buzz defaults to zero and is publicly tracked by a corresponding number of “+” signs after the number of Adherents the Cell has.

Whenever a Citizen becomes an Adherent of a Cell, the Ministry of Information should privately inform that Cell of that fact. The Ministry of Information may privately provide a Cell with a list of all Citizens who are Adherents of it, upon request.

In “Constitutionality”, if it exists, replace “1 random Citizen as an Adherent” with “1 Buzz”.

If “Price and Precedence” failed, add to “Adherents”:-

Each Cycle, the Ministry of Information must carry out the following atomic action:

If “Price and Precedence” enacted, add the following bullet point to the end of the list it created, otherwise add it after the text added in the previous step:-

* For each point of Buzz that exists in the game (in a secretly random order), remove it from the Cell that has it, then select the first Citizen (in alphabetical order by Citizen name) who Adheres to no Cell and assign them to that Cell.

The Ministry of Adversary proposal requires enacting admins to “add 1 random Citizen as an Adherent” to a Cell, which they can’t do without access to the Ministry’s secret list. But gaining Adherents seems like something we’d want to do generally, so this sets up a notation for an Adherents score of “2++” meaning “2, which will become 4 at the end of the cycle”.

Also explicitly saying that the Ministry should inform a Cell of its new members when they arrive, and provide a list when asked.

imperial elegant solution, but as per my issue w/ Pride and Precedence, i want to see ideology involved somehow (even if it’s just: recruited citizens gain a random ideology term from their recruiter)
