Proposal: Honor and Offer v. 2.0

Time out and failed 5-6 - Failed by Chivalrybean

If you love tracking the GND
And you can’t stay off the high sea,
You’ll just love my offer
To start tracking honor
as a measure of credibility.

All pirates will cheat til you’re haggard,
And ninja are incessant naggers.
A pirate’s dishonor
or a ninja’s great honor
will boost eir skills with eir daggers.

Write up section 2.17
And call it “Honor” to mean
That a ninja adds
what honor he has
to his army which isn’t too lean.

Pirates see honor adversely.
And theirs will be negative, usually.
But pirates aren’t goners,
they just subtract honor
from the effective size of their armies

If a pirate steals swag
from another captain’s bag
1 honor is lost
for that is the cost
of being a thieving sea hag.

Whenever a ninja defends
And holds up right til the end
1 honor is served
and it is deserved
For ey has thwarted offense. 

It should also be noted,
before a captain’s devoted
to fight like a hero,
eir honor is zero.
That’ll change once the ship has been floated.

for The last verse is a little unclear, but I presume it just means that honour starts at zero?

Brav for !!

So, to make sure I read it right, a pirate can have (for example) -5 honor, and if their army is 10, this honor value is subtracted to make their army have an effectiveness of 15?

for

Though by the call to judgement, it won’t get the bonus.

against This would create a textless rule (with a title that apparently carries a lot of meaning). Plus, rule 2.17 exists already.

mistarrr oconnell: you might want to consider using blockquotes when writing up new rules (or changing existing ones) so that everyone’s clear exactly how the ruleset will be amended.

How are we supposed to propose rule changes in limerick form? hehe, I suppose I could just introduce the blockquote in limerick form.  But that’s not nearly as entertaining.

PS - the title carries no meaning
PPS - That’s right. For Pirates, negative armor is better because subtracting a negative means adding a positive. 
PPPPPPP something - I’ll try to fix it some other time.
