Proposal: Cheating? Who, Me? Never!

Reached quorum, 9-3. Josh

Adminned at 22 Oct 2021 16:47:43 UTC

Add the following rule to the ruleset under the name “Day and Night”

There are two additional types of actions: Night actions and Day actions. Night and Day actions are worded in the same manner as normal types of actions, but with an additional Night or Day classifier. In example, a Day Weekly Communal Action, or a Night Daily Action. Any actions that could possibly affect the House(s) being Sold by the Realtor carrying out those actions are Day actions, and any actions that could possibly affect House(s) not not being sold by the Realtor carrying out those actions are Night Actions. An action need not affect Houses to be Day or Night, but all actions that do must be either Day or Night. If an action would be both Day and Night, it is instead Night. Only possible outcomes of an action that affect houses in a directly stated manner are considered for deciding whether an action is Day or Night.

 

The general gist of this is that there are two types of actions: ones that are carried out in broad daylight, like fixing up your house, and others that are best done under cover of darkness. It would ruin your credibility if you were found setting up bear traps in an opponents lawn, after all. I’m willing to go with public opinion here, not going to try and force this one through if it isn’t popular.

If there were an action that could potentially affect a House not owned by the Realtor carrying out the action, but doesn’t, would that still be a Night action?

Yes, that was the intent. I’ll reword it in a bit to make it clearer.

I like the general thrust of this but not sure about the day/night labels. Is the thinking that there could be a universal day/night cycle? Or could you potentially carry out one of each action basically simultaneously?

Something along those lines. My basic idea is being able to limit both separately without the need to split the dynasty up into two-phase cycle system.

Or possibly using this to split the dynasty into a two-phase cycle system, depends on what people want.

Cleared up some minor ambiguity.

You have a reference to Realtors owning houses in the definition of night actions btw. Assuming that’s a mistake?

Oops, that crept in there somehow.

I like the premise, but it needs some clearing up of its ambiguities and labyrinthine language in the 2nd half of the paragraph. Maybe someone can repropose in a simpler form and/or in connection with a concrete application. against

@Tyguy I am fully aware that there is a smidge of word salad going on. I’m still working on making concise, effective wording. However, this early in the dynasty it may be better to just get the concept out there and fix it with a follow-up, rather than having to wait on the concept being introduced a while later. As long as the idea is popular I believe it may be better to pass it now, so that it can be expanded on, and then fixed if it proves to be a problem.

I don’t know if the wording works at all.  against

for But yes, I think this could be reworded once there are actual actions to apply the qualifiers to.
