Proposal: Copycats

4-1, timed out. Enacted by Elias IX.

In the Mechanics rule, change the list item:-

one Command and the following Result.

to:

one Command and one Result in two different Moves, as long as either addition wouldn’t result in a copy of a Move already in that Thread.

Add to the Score rule, if it exists:-

A Move may modify the Scores of the Protagonists who created the Command and Result entries of that Move, who are called the ‘Contributing Protagonists’. The modification must follow these rules:

  • The Narrator determines by what amount a Move will modify the Scores of the Contributing Protagonists. The amount may differ for each of the two Contributing Protagonists. The Narrator may announce the Score effect for this Move which anyone can implement, or implement the effect emself in the GNDT (with no explanation required).
  • Moves with the same Command and Result are considered copies of the same Move. Contributing Protagonists may only have eir Score modified once by the same Move no matter how many times ey make copies of it. In other words, if a Protagonist has been a Contributing Protagonist to a previous copy of that Move, eir Score is not modified.
  • A copy of a Move always has the same Score effects on its Contributing Protagonists as the original Move did on its Contributing Protagonists.
  • If a Move has been partially or fully deleted, the Protagonist who did the deleting may also reverse the Score effects on the Contributing Protagonists of that Move.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to enforce consistency of Location and Inventory when making a copy of a Move, so I’ll leave that to a smarter Protagonist to figure out.
