BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Ah, actually it looks like calling a Day of Reading is illegal if it would set any Acumens negative (which it would in this case).

(“If a set of valid values is not specified in their definition, game variables defined to hold numeric values can hold only non-negative integers. Any action that would set those values below zero is an illegal action unless explicitly otherwise stated in the ruleset.” plus “A Townsperson who has a choice in whether to take an action defined by a dynastic rule may not take that action if both of the following conditions are true: a) the action’s effects are limited to changing values tracked in the GNDT and/or similar gamestate-tracking entities (such as a wiki page), and b) the action would change one or more of those values to an illegal value.”)

I’d thought we’d had negative Acumens in the past, when I wrote the rule, but am clearly confabulating that.
