Proposal: Getting more mileage out of this game

Self Killed—Clucky

Adminned at 14 Apr 2020 05:33:19 UTC

Enact a new rule entitled “Nook Miles” that reads:

Players have an attribute called Nook Miles. It can be any positive integer. It is tracked in the players table of the Archipelago wikipage.

A player can spend the following amounts of Nook Miles to perform their coinciding effect:

* 100 Nook Miles: Increase their own AP by 1.

In this rule, enact a subrule entitled “Challenges” that reads:

A challenge has the following components:

* A goal, which is a string describing any combination of actions and/or effects of actions. These should be achievable by players within a period of one week.
* A reward, which is a number of Nook Miles.

Each week has a unique challenge. The challenge for the current week and the challenge for the following week are tracked in the Archipelago wikipage. If there is no challenge set for a week, it shall be recorded as “None”. No other challenges are tracked. As a weekly action, Tom Nook can announce a challenge for the next week. They should do so close to the end of each week.

If a Player performs all the actions and/or achieves all the effects described in the goal of the current week’s challenge, that player gains a number of Nook Miles equal to the reward for the current week’s challenge. They may also announce this with a Story Post describing their exploits, if they are very proud of their work.

Tom Nook’s EVC on this post may include a specification for a challenge. If so, the challenge for the week of April 13 is set to this challenge.

Based on one of the new main features of New Horizons, it’s Nook Miles!

This one is likely to include bugs or otherwise messy bits. I am not used to the BlogNomic writing style, especially after my six-month leave-of-absence. I am fine editing or even resubmitting it if there are many bugs.

This one also puts a lot of work on Clucky. Sorry about that. If you do not want to do this all, we might be able to crowdsource or automate the process of challenge choosing.
