[ Simplifying the scandal idea, and trimming the gossip stories back to one or two words each, so that the GNDT columns don’t get too bloated. ]
If “So what’s your scandal” passed, replace “Each Actor may be the subject of zero [...] with respect to any number of Actors.” in the Gossip rule with:-
Each Actor may be the subject of up to two “Gossip Stories”, summarised as adjective-phrases in the “Gossip” field of the GNDT, and separated by an “and” if there are two of them. Whenever an Actor becomes the subject of a new Gossip Story, it is added to the end of the list; if this would result in three Gossip Stories for a single Actor, the first is forgotten, and deleted.
And replace the list with:-
Available Gossip Stories are:-
- Pretentious
- Drunk
- Alcoholic
- Philandering
- Sex-addicted
- Right-wing
- Left-wing
- Kleptomaniac
- Paternity-suited
- Cult-worshipping
- Divorced
- Eccentric
If “Column Inches” passed, replace the vanity project list with the slightly-abbreviated and tense-altered:-
- Touring with childhood band
- Adopting African child
- Directing an indie film
- Attacking government policy
- Launching underwear line
- Attending festival in home town
- UN Goodwill Ambassador
- Living in Britain
- Appearing in sitcom cameo
- Working for charity
- Investing in new technology
Doremi:
Is the “and” thing easy to do? Or would it be a do it yourself thing? Drop down menus might be nice for these, with two columns, like spike proposed. This does fix a lot of things though.
