Proposal: Demographic dividend

Fails 1-11. —Brendan

Adminned at 07 Dec 2010 10:27:07 UTC

The enacting admin must roll DICE6 in the GNDT. They must then add the resulting number of Mortals to the game by adding them to the Mortals wiki page. Each Mortal may be given a one-word name freely chosen by the enacting admin from the lists on this page.

For each Mortal thus created, the admin must roll 4 DICE3. If the result of the first roll is a 1 that Mortal is a child; otherwise that Mortal is an adult. The other three DICE rolls correspond to the spheres of influence in the order of: Ephemeral, Material, Domestic; the Mortal gains a vulnerability to each sphere in which they rolled a 1. If any Mortal would have a vulnerability in no sphere then the enacting Admin should chose a sphere at random and give them a vulnerability in it.

What happens if the mortal would be vulnerable to all of the three spheres of influence because of the dice roll?

According to the definition of a mortal, a mortal may only be affected by one or two spheres.

against Alecto could just use rule 2.4.1 to make more mortals.

against Per Purplebeard, we already have a mechanic for this.

imperial but if the Imperatrix desires a second mechanic for this- so be it.

I actually think this is a good idea, but the method for choosing affecting Spheres won’t work, as Clarinet pointed out.

Also I finally found time to add new mortals.  Enjoy!

You’re only allowed to create Adults, Alecto. I’ve changed the status of the children you made to Adult; that’s probably the cleanest way to handle this.

Also, you can only increase the number of mortals to half of quorum, rounded down (5 at the moment). I uncreated the last three mortals on the list.
