Part 1: Place the Djinni in the Lamp (but the award or enactment of this Part 1 of this Proposal shall not, in and of itself, cause any Wish to be awarded to any Adventurer). Place the Lamp in a Location selected by the Djinni but do not update the GNDT to disclose the Lamp’s Location.
Part 2: Enact a dynastic rule called: “Riddles”, as follows:
Certain Locations contain Oracles, these Locations are identified on the Universe page. If an Adventurer’s Location contains an Oracle then that Adventurer may post a blog post stating that the Adventurer is consulting the Oracle to determine the Lamp’s Location, whereupon, within 72 hours, the Djinni shall privately communicate to that Adventurer and to the Grand Vizier (and, if that Adventurer is the Grand Vizier, to the Sultan) a hint as to the Lamp’s Location (and if the Djinni does not do so, then the Lamp’s Location shall be moved to that Adventurer’s location). Upon consulting the Oracle, that Adventurer’s Location shall be changed to Baghdad, Iraq in honor of “Arabian Nights”. If the Djinni is still located in the Lamp 24 hours after having provided the hint as aforesaid, then the Djinni may, but is not required to, post the hint in a blog post.
Part 3: Add the following to the Universe Page:
The following Locations contain Oracles:
- Delphi, Greece
- Great Sphinx of Giza
- Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral (thought to be constructed on the ruins of one of the principal Mesoamerican temples)
Part 4: In the rule “Djinni in a lamp, baby”, change the text that presently reads:
IThe Djinni has a Location, tracked in his “Location†GNDT field. The Djinni’s Location may be “Everywhere†(signifying that the Djinni is free), “Lamp†(signifying that the Djinn is inside the Lamp in an unknown location) or the name of a valid Location from Rule 2.6 (signifying that the Djinn is inside the Lamp and that the Lamp is at that Location).
The Djinni is unable to grant any Wishes or Boons while he is inside the Lamp.
If the Djinni is ever put inside the Lamp, his Location becomes “Lampâ€; if he ever leaves the Lamp, his location becomes “Everywhereâ€. If the Djinni’s Location is “Lampâ€, he may adjust his Location to any valid Location from Rule 2.6.
so that it reads:
IThe Djinni has a Location, tracked in his “Location†GNDT field. The Djinni’s Location may be “Everywhere†(signifying that the Djinni is free) or “Lamp†(signifying that the Djinn is inside the Lamp in an unknown location).
The Djinni is unable to grant any Wishes or Boons while he is inside the Lamp.
If the Djinni is ever put inside the Lamp, his Location becomes “Lampâ€; if he ever leaves the Lamp, his location becomes “Everywhereâ€. If the Djinni’s Location is “Lampâ€, he may adjust the Lamp’s Location to any valid Location from Rule 2.6 but having done so, may not do so again until after the Djinni has been released from the Lamp and then put back inside the Lamp. The Location of the Lamp shall not be tracked in the GNDT.
Aquafraternally Yours:
I like. Adding a little flavor. That works for me.
