Proposal: Default is all my own [Appendix]

Quorum Reached. Passes 7-0

Please note that “Amnesiacs” is not defined, so the last clause was not applied

In the rule Numbers and Variables, change the bullet point that currently reads

If a game variable has no defined starting value, then that starting value is the nearest legal value to zero that it may take (for numerical variables, defaulting to positive if tied), blank (for a text string or list that may be blank), the alphabetically earliest legal text string it may take (for a text string which may not be blank, with the digits 0 through 9 considered to precede “A”), or the list which is alphabetically earliest from the set of lists with the fewest elements (for lists which may not be blank, and considering each list to be a single unpunctuated text string, with the digits 0 through 9 considered to precede “A”).

to read

If a game variable has a default value but no defined starting value, then its default value should also be considered a starting value. If a game variable has neither a default value nor a starting value, then both may be considered to be the nearest legal value to zero that it may take (for numerical variables, defaulting to positive if tied), blank (for a text string or list that may be blank), the alphabetically earliest legal text string it may take (for a text string which may not be blank, with the digits 0 through 9 considered to precede “A”), or the list which is alphabetically earliest from the set of lists with the fewest elements (for lists which may not be blank, and considering each list to be a single unpunctuated text string, with the digits 0 through 9 considered to precede “A”).

Set the Power and Defenses (or Annoyingness and Focus, if Proposal: Ludonarrative consistency has passed) for all Amnesiacs to their default values.

This seems like a logical fix.

There’s a typo: Annoyiness should be Annoyingness.

This is a fine fix except that it resets Power and Defenses, which could change before this proposal enacts (eg. by rolling the Power Segment). Probably too late for Josh to edit around this, though.

Well, I added Power to my Wager, but I don’t care if it will be useless for now :)
