Proposal: Cull Leers

Vetoed. Brendn

Remakred as Illegal - the veto followed an illegal edit so technically has no bearing. Josh

Create a new rule called “Mode” with:

Each Elector has an Attire secretly tracked by the Doge, defaulting to White Pajamas. Attire has a Color (which can be White, Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green or Gold) and a Kind (which can be Pajamas, Robe, Dress, Tuxedo, Armor, Corset or Regalia). An Elector can change their Attire (set it to a certain Color/Kind) as a Seasonal Action by privately communicating this to the Doge.

The Doge can set each Elector’s Attire to random Color / Kind combinations and then remove this sentence from the Ruleset (they shall do this at their soonest convenience).

Add under the fourth step in The Masquerade’s Atomic Action as new steps:

- For each Elector, if their Attire Color is identical to another Elector’s, reduce their Political Power by 1.
- For each Elector, if them and only one other Elector (and no more than one) share the same Kind of Attire, increase their Political Power by 2.
- For each Elector, if their Attire during a Masquerade does not share a Color nor a Kind with any other Elector’s Attire, increase their Political Power by 4.

Add to the list after “The Guest List is a list of Electors, which contains only the following identifying information about them:”

- Their Attire (Its Color and Kind)

So if exactly two people have Blue Robes, is the expectation that they lose one power or gain one power?

also can we just add this stuff as a step in the masquerade action instead of going “immediately before”?

I also think defaulting everyone to the same could be bad. maybe randomize on default?

Aaand fixed

That sentence doesn’t really help new players. Who might be overwhelmed at first and so miss out on important steps. But I think that might be okay and we can fix later.

So to clarify, you want the two people in Blue Robes to each gain 1 power rather than to lose one? But if three people are in Blue Robes, they all lose one?

Madrid:

Yes.

interesting. I’m a bit worried about how swingy it could be. a lot of getting your attire not to match anyone could just come down to dumb luck but it also seems like a lot of fun. will probably vote for once the edit window is up and no one else has pointed out any glaring problems

There 10 electors and only 5 colors, so at least 5 people are guaranteed to lose PP every masquerade. Is that intentional?

Also, “if them and only one other Elector (and no more than one) share the same Kind of Attire” could be “if they share a Kind of attire with exactly one other Elector”.

oh I missed the Attire Color. Thought it was full attire matching. that is even more interesting.

@Zack: I added two colors so that it’s just 3 people (And even less once people inevitably idle and the dynasty shrinks).

i actually preferred the smaller color list. expanding it makes it easier for someone to get lucky and hit a unique pair

Madrid:

Raised to 6!

Madrid:

*Lowered to 6. It was at 7 colors before.

You’re over the two hour edit limit I’m afraid

against Note that proposal is now unpopular and cannot be enacted; it can be marked as illegal when it’s resolved but remains pending until it gets to the top of the queue.

doesn’t that just make the edit illegal, not the proposal itself?

Josh: Observer he/they

The ruleset doesn’t appear to distinguish the post from is edits; the proposal is the proposal.

Sounds like an interesting CfJ though.

Madrid:

04-03-2021 21:23:56 UTC

I believe it only makes the edit illegal.

I reverted to the previous version. I’m either making an illegal Proposal illegal (ie. I’m doing nothing really) or making things right again.

veto because I’m not having ambiguous proposals floating about.

Someone should probably straighten this rule out though. Not me; I have my plate full on fixes right now.
