Proposal: Deus Domesticus

Passes 17-0. —Brendan

Adminned at 30 Nov 2010 22:12:43 UTC

Create a new Rule, “Influence”:

The Old Gods divide their Influence over the world into the spheres of the Ephemeral, Material and Domestic; these levels of Influence are tracked by three columns in the GNDT, each with possible values of Positive (++), Neutral (N), or Negative (—).  A Divinity defaults to having Neutral Influence in each sphere.  At any time, if a Divinity has Neutral influence in all three spheres, they may simultaneously set one Influence to Positive and another to Negative.

If the Rule “Ages” exists, append the following to it:

Whenever the Age changes, within 24 hours of the change, each Divinity may set all their Influences to Neutral exactly once.

If the Rule “Ages” exists and the Rule “Influence” is enacted, doesn’t that automatically set the influence in each Divinities’ spheres to the default value of N?

I mean, we don’t need to add to the Rule “Ages” something that is already there in different words.

Ah, you’re right, it is redundant.  I had thought the reset only applied to Prominence.  I’ll delete it next time I propose something.

So this is when you all come online…
Incidentally, all the voting does fill up the Comments RSS a lot.

Influence is inherently something that should be given a score, not just marked with plusses and minuses. I really don’t see the appeal here over my rule.
