Proposal: Dwarven Honor

Self-killed. -Purplebeard

Adminned at 05 Apr 2010 08:15:33 UTC

Add a new rule, named “Honor”:

Each Colonist has an amount of Honor, which is tracked in the GNDT.  New Colonists start with an Honor of 0.

 
Add a subrule to this rule, named “Legislation”:

When a Proposal is Enacted or Failed, the submitter gains 2 Honor for each vote cast in favor of the proposal in addition to the submitter’s vote.

If there is a rule entitled “Stockpile”, add a subrule to it, named “Honor”:

Whenever a Colonist adds items to the stockpile, he gains honor depending on how many of those
items were already in the stockpile, according to the table below.

         |  0  |  1  | 2-3 | 4-5 | 6-10 | 11-20 | 21-30 | 31-50 | 50+
  Food   |  30 |  20 |  10 |  5  |  3   |   2   |   2   |   1   |  1
  Wood   |  10 |  7  |  7  |  5  |  5   |   3   |   1   |   1   |  0
  Rock   |  20 |  15 |  10 |  10 |  7   |   7   |   2   |   1   |  0

Add Honor to the GNDT, and set all Colonists’ Honor to 0.

Honor should be a measure of how much good you’ve done for the community.  Nothing in this proposal about terraforming, as that’s not obviously good or bad.

for nice idea

If I gain 4 Food by hunting (and does not have any food yet), would I get 30 Honer once, or would I get 30+20+10+10 Honer?

*err* I meant Honor of course.

Well, “When a Proposal is Enacted or Failed” should be “When a Proposal is Enacted” in my opinion…

I agree with Keba, it needs to be only for passed proposals, otherwise,  for

Keba: I initially envisioned it as 30+20+10+10, but that may not be how it’s interpreted.  If this passes, someone should probably make a proposal to add a clarification.

On failed proposals, I wanted to reward good, but not-quite-good-enough proposals as well.  There are plenty of situations where (for example) one good proposal gets self-killed in favor of a better one that does much the same thing.

On the other hand, I won’t fight changing it to only passed proposals; I was debating that point myself.

for I like it as it is, although the multiple reward should be fixed and probably the size of the rewards reduced.

against Just an unfun grindy race to be the first to contribute food.  Also encourages Proposal spam.

against for the proposal enactment effect, which would encourage proposal spam and the queue-slowing, tactical withholding of FOR votes.

Tiberias:

Hix: note that the stockpile starts with some of each thing, so the really high honor points aren’t available unless someone spends all of something.

Even after “Don’t mess with the voting system”. The table looks crazy unbalanced; it’ll create a game of trying to run the stockpiles out in order to be the one to put the first few supplies in.

ais523:

against due to massively promoting timing scams and scripting. I don’t really want to have to write a script to update the GNDT first upon this proposal passing, but if it looks like passing I might.
