Proposal: Every captain needs a pet

Passed with quorum 9 to 1 - Jack

Adminned at 04 Mar 2008 21:20:25 UTC

The the proposal titled “Proposal: False Start” fails, this rule does nothing.

Add a new rule to the rule set. Call it “Army of Monkeys”. Give it the following text:

Each captain has an army of monkeys to assist them, the size of which is tracked in a GNDT called “Army Size”.

All captains start with an army size of zero.

At any time, a captain may increase the size of their monkey army by one, by paying 2n + 1 gold where n is the current size of their army.
At any time, a captain may reduce the size of their army by any amount, provided it does not go below zero nor become a non-integer value.

Every Sunday at 0:00 AM, captains must pay their army by paying n squared gold where n is the size of their army. If a captain does not have enough gold to pay off their army, their army size is reduced by one until they have enough gold to pay off their army.

I’m assuming you mean ‘If the’, and not ‘The the’ =p

against There’s some kind of loophole to be found here, I just know it. The wording is kind of vague in some places.
Your opinion, Bucky?

I think it makes sense the way it’s worded (except for the “The the” thing at the top).  You can only increase or decrease the size of your army yourself, according to this proposal, so it can’t really be exploited I don’t think.  At least, not without another proposal introducing fun mechanics.

If this passes, I’d probably adjust how much we have to pay our armies.  Squaring it means no one would be able to maintain too big of an army, though in the beginning that’d be fine.

Agreed with Night, there should be a better formula for the cost. But we can correct that later.  for
