Proposal: Code Monkey like Fritos

Failed - cannot reach quorum with 8 votes against.

Adminned at 01 Aug 2007 03:06:38 UTC

If “Proposal: Line Dance” has not been Enacted, this Proposal does nothing.

Create a Dynastic Rule called “Fritos” with text:

Each Monkey has a number of Bags of Fritos (or simply Fritos), which is tracked in the GNDT as a nonnegative integer in the “Fritos” column.  New Monkeys start with 1 Bag of Fritos.

As a Daily Action, a Monkey whose position in the Monkey line is a number that is strictly greater than Quorum may obtain a Bag of Fritos from the vending machine by increasing his Fritos by 1.

Set each Monkey’s Fritos to 1.

But let it be known, I like Fritos.

Doesn’t seem to have much effect, when you consider that everyone can just move themselves to the end of the line once a day and collect Fritos.  Unless that was the intention?

against I like the idea. But the way things work, the front of the line is the better location. Anyone can move to the back of the line.

Exactly, anyone can voluntarily move to the back of the line to get some Fritos, but in doing so, loses his place in line.  Presumably there will eventually be benefits for making one’s way to (or near) the top; thus, one must balance these benefits against the need (or desire) for Fritos.

Ok, that does sound interesting.

By the way, what exactly is a Frito?

against I’m automatically against any “bonus for remembering to do a thing daily” mechanic. Limiting it to one or two bags per Monkey would be fine, though.

Kevan is right. I now see how you could make it balanced, but daily actions like that tend to get annoying.

I agree with Kevan, even though I tend to check this daily. What if it was an action that could be done a limited number of times per week, but not more ofton than daily?
