Proposal: Escape from The Fires of Potato

Vetoed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 16 Jan 2022 08:52:57 UTC

Enact a new subrule of “The Campfire at the End of Hell” entitled “Memories” as follows:

There exists a numerically ordered list of Stops, which is publicly tracked. Each Stop has a Name, which is flavor text, and cannot contain the ‘~’ character. Each Tripper has a Favorite Place, which is one of the Stops in that list and which is publicly tracked, defaulting to the last Stop in their numerical listed order. A Stop may also be referred to as a Spot. If a Tripper’s Favorite Place is a given Stop, then the Tripper is said to remember that Stop.

The Campfire Demon is hungry for memories. There exists a game variable called the Demon’s Feasting Grounds, which is one of the Stops in the list of Stops, defaulting to the last Stop in their numerical listed order.

Set the list of Stops to be the same as it was in this wiki revision, without the Capacity or Types elements of that list.

They’re still hanging around on the Book of Trippers, might as well make them do something? Maybe?

I like the idea, but i imagine there isn’t that much time left in the dynasty so maybe add some mechanics that actually have an impact?

We have as much time left as we want, in this dynasty! Remember, if you want something, you can propose it yourself. Last time, he was telling me to repropose the Charity Box without all the bugs, and I didn’t even have a spare proposal slot.

(But maybe Clucky just means editing this proposal while the window was open.)

yeah getting changes in with the edit window was what I was going for

also campfire demon means we don’t really have all the time we want unless we actively pass stuff to thwart the demon

If this gets traction I’ll write up a proposal to make changing stops and the demon’s stop actually do something. (My vague idea is something like, the communal daily action selects a random occupied stop and then a random player at that stop, but it can’t hit the same location twice in a row unless someone new arrives there; you can spend a coin to change your favorite place.)
