How do we want to do this?
I think a lot of it depends on, if I’m in Ruleset 33 is everyone else a “Swashbuckler” for the purposes of the ruleset? If so, we need some sort of “Values can be illegal”, but actions that do not make sense (such as spending something from a non-numeric value) cannot be performed. Otherwise I donno if there will be much interaction.
My suggestion is that if you have an illegal value for a statistic, it is counted as its default until changed. This would be especially good if we’re hopping around a lot.
But what is an illegal value in one dynastic context is completely legal in another, and if these dynasties are supposed to interact with each other that is a problem.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
Yonah:
Are there any possible GNT value types besides numeric and string? Because if not, we should split those into two groups, such that numbers map to numbers and strings map to strings.
