To the rule “Cults” add a subrule “Idle Cults” with the following text:
If all members of a Cult are idle, the Auspex may delete that Cult (by deleting its list entry in the rule “Cultsâ€).
If all members of a cult are idle, then this cult is inoffensive anyway since nobody can join it. By deleting it you’re only preventing the idle members to come back to the cult when they de-idle.
BTW, we have this “when someone de-idles, they assume their last personal gamestate, if it is still valid; otherwise they get default values for everything” rule. Does this mean if an idle believer has one of his cults deleted, his personal gamestate is completely reset when he comes back?
The rule does not say, he gets default values for everything, I think, but rather, he gets default values for those values that are not valid anymore. At least thats how I understand the rule.
The wording is a little flabby, but it seems closer to “each invalid value is set to the default” than “all values are reset”.
Deleting inactive Cults would help to keep the game sharp, I think.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
