Proposal: Goods and Services

Popular, 11-0. Josh

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Items:

Before posting an Auction Post, Louis XIV must roll DICE5 in the dice roller and then generate that amount of Items to populate that Auction.

An item in an auction must have the following qualities, which may be determined by Louis XIV by whatever means he sees fit:

  • A name
  • An impact upon the Power and Prestige of the possessor
  • A type; an item may be Physical, Favour of the King, Loyalty from a Vassal, Romantic, or Military.

It may additionally have some of the following characteristics, at the discression of Louis XIV:

  • A colour, generated at random by using the COLOUR: command in the dice roller
  • A quantity
  • An age
  • A cost in money; winning this item will reduce your Money spent by this amount.

If there is a rule called Money, Prestige and Power, change ‘Noblemen page of the GNDT’ to ‘Noblemen page of the wiki’; change the first sentence to ‘Noblemen have three resources - Money, Prestige and Power’; and in the rule Auctions, add ‘during the 48 hours during which the Auction was open’ to the end of the first sentence of the second paragraph.

This is just a starting point; in the future I want items to generate more automatically, but I want to get the game on its legs first.

Hmmm… We haven’t actually determined yet how Prestige is determined, have we?

No, I honestly meant to take it out and add it later, but I wanted it to default to zero and the Appendix does that for me, so it doesn’t matter that it’s not in a rule.

But this rule isn’t going to have the desired effect because if “Cash and guns” passes there will only be a rule called “Money, *Presige* and Power”...

do we still have the rule for fixing typos?

Looks like we do. So whatever admin enacts stuff needs to first fix the obvious spelling mistake in the rules, and then enact this one.

Or Josh fixes his first proposal
