Proposal: Here’s to Living Forever… or Dying in the Actv

There were multiple copies of this Proposal presented before me.  Due to random selection, this proposal has been sent to the inferno.

Inquiries are pending as to why this incident happened.

That is all.

If the Rule “Skirmishes” does not exist, this proposal does nothing.

Add a subrule to “Skirmishes” entitled “Skirmishes Completed”, with the following text:

The number of Skirmishes in which each Soldier participates is tracked in the GNDT under the column “SkirmishesCompleted”. New Soldiers start with zero Skirmishes Completed.

When a soldier participates in an active Skirmish, he may increment his SkirmishesCompleted value by one.

Create a GNDT column named SkirmishesCompleted.
Set all Soldiers’ SkirmishesCompleted to 0.


Add a dynastic rule entitled “There’s Only One Catch” with the following text:

A Soldier may acheive victory if he has participated in at least 20 skirmishes. If any Soldier has participated in at least 10 skirmishes, increase all the numerals in this paragraph by ten.

Words are not numerals.

That line makes the next two unnecessary, no?

What I’m saying is, that the rules saying how the “SkirmishesCompleted” stat is initialized and how it changes already define what it represents.  So don’t also make it a rule that the stat is equal to the number of Skirmishes in which each Soldier participates.

The first sentence of the subrule is a description - like the real-world representation of how the stat functions, so when you want to call upon this representation somewhere else, you can use the wording “participated in X skirmishes”.

But the next two sentences define the procedures using if-then style statements (albeit the wording uses “when”-“may”), and makes the procedure strict.

There’s not really a conflict between these two parts, so I doubt it hurts to have it all there.

Actually, people aren’t computer programs, so I’ll repropose this.
