Can’t enact and fails 1-7-larrytheturtle

Adminned at 08 Apr 2013 05:29:38 UTC

Replace the section of Rule ‘Dignity’ that reads

Every Noble has Dignity, which is a positive integer no greater than 100, which is tracked in the GNDT column entitled “Dignity”, and which defaults to the average Dignity of all Nobles. When a Noble performs an action which may be done in a Proper manner but does not do it in a Proper manner, they lose one-tenth of their Dignity, rounded up.
In addition, each Family has Dignity, tracked in their GNDT rows.

with the text

When a Noble performs an action which may be done in a Proper manner but does not do it in a Proper manner, they lose one-tenth of their Dignity, rounded up.
If a Noble performs an Honorable Act they gain 1 Dignity.
In addition, each Family has Dignity, tracked in their GNDT rows.

against What’s an Hono(u)rable Act? For future reference, this kind of proposal doesn’t need to rewrite the entire rule; you just need to say something along the lines of “Append to the rule ‘Dignity’ the following:” and then a block quote with your addition.

imperial as the point may be to introduce the idea of Hono(u)rable Acts as a mechanic without also defining what they are, but at the same time I don’t know if this is actually needed yet.

against Until honourable acts are defined, the normal English interpretation is in effect. I held the door for a colleague this morning; would this merit 1 Dignity?

Also, however honourable acts end up being defined, a bonus of 1 Dignity probably isn’t going to do much when an accidental breach in etiquette costs one tenth of one’s Dignity.
