Proposal: Daemons

Timed out and passed, 4-0.  Brendan

Add the following rule, called “Daemons:”

A Corporation may, in the interest of serving its stockholders, summon a Daemon to help it compete in our increasingly global economy.  A Corporation’s Daemon is tracked by means of a dropdown in the GNDT, which should say either “(none)” or the breed of the Daemon e currently controls.  Each breed of Daemon is named and described in a subrule to this rule.

To summon a Daemon, the Corporation simply changes its Daemon option from “(none)” to a given breed, then pays the breed’s Summoning Cost in Souls.  Once it controls a Daemon, a Corporation may not dismiss or summon another breed of Daemon unless otherwise described in the Ruleset.

Unless otherwise stated, each time the Government Advances Time, each Corporation that controls a Daemon loses one Soul.  If the Corporation has insufficient Souls to meet this demand (known as the Maintenance Cost), eir Daemon is set to “(none)” and eir Cash is set to $1M less than eir Credit Limit, rendering it Bankrupt.

No subrules yet, but I have some ideas—I want to get a general opinion of the concept first.

for How did this dynasty go from corporations and patent rights to selling souls to non-corporeal entities?
