Proposal: Villager-Dead Villager bond

Reached quorum 6 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

To “Church” in “Locations”, add:

Zahndorf’s church has a sacred, mysterious ritual which villagers may perform, which allows to create a bond between themselves and the dead, creating a special guardian spirit relationship. A not dead villager and a dead villager may become a Stand Master (also referred to as “Standmaster”) and a Stand respectively to each other if they both privately communicate so to the doctor. The doctor should reply to such requests with a confirmation that the standmaster-stand bond has been created (thus, the live villager becomes the “standmaster” and the dead villager the “stand”). When the stand master dies (acquires death), or the stand becomes alive again (loses death), the stand-standmaster relationship is broken.

Any Villager who is already in a standmaster-stand bond may not opt to be in another one.

Blank gameplay mechanic which allows dead players to pact with live players. Hopefully this paves a way for dead players to become more useful in the gamestate, while still being subservient and “below” live players.

Note: This is inspired by Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure lol.

Note that this doesn’t require either player to actually be at the Church.

I’m all for adding more spectral actions. In fact, I have little additions to add if this passes ... namely increasing Memento Mori for the dead villager.

However, in contrast to Death Paradox, this seems to me like unambiguously a dynastic action that a dead villager can’t take unless there’s a shim in Spectral Actions allowing it.
