Proposal: I am a Breeder After all

Times out 8-1 against—arth

Adminned at 24 Sep 2008 20:07:27 UTC

Add a new dynastic rule “Breeding” with the following rules text:

Each Breeder has a statistic “Dragon Gender” tracked in the GNDT. The Dragon Gender can either be “Male”, “Female” or be empty. If a Breeder’s Dragon Gender is empty any Breeder may comment GE DICE2 in the GNDT. If the die result was a 1 the Dragon Gender becomes Male otherwise it becomes Female. New Breeders start with an empty Dragon Gender. If a Breeder’s Dragon Gender is Male that Breeder is said to have a Male Dragon. If a Breeder’s Dragon Gender is Female that Breeder is said to have a Female Dragon.

Each Breeder has a statistic “Dragon Fertility” tracked in the GNDT. The Dragon Fertility can either be “Fertile”, “Infertile” or be empty. If a Breeder’s Dragon Fertility is empty any Breeder may comment FE DICE3 in the GNDT. If the die result was a 1 the Dragon Fertility becomes Infertile otherwise it becomes Fertile. New Breeders start with an empty Dragon Fertility. If a Breeder’s Dragon Fertility is Fertile that Breeder is said to have a Fertile Dragon. If a Breeder’s Dragon Fertility is Infertile that Breeder is said to have an Infertile Dragon.

Each Breeder has statistic “Baby Dragons” tracked in the GNDT. The Baby Dragons is a non-negative integer that starts at 0.

Add a Sub-rule to the new rule “Breeding” titled “Making Babies” with the following rules text:

As a weekly action any Breeder who has a Female Dragon, which is Fertile, may make a Story Post Titled “A Mates B?” where A is that Breeder’s Dragon Name and B is the Dragon Name of the Breeder of a Male Dragon which is Fertile. If the Breeder of the Male Dragon agrees that Breeder posts the FOR icon and comments BR DICE2 in the GNDT and increases the Baby Dragons of both themself and the Breeder of the Female Dragon by the result minus 1. They also set the Dragon Fertility of both Breeders’ to empty. If the Breeder of the Male Dragon doesn’t agree that Breeder post the AGAINST icon and nothing happens.

As a weekly action any Breeder who has an Infertile Dragon may set their Dragon Fertility to empty.

Add a Sub-rule to “Breeding” titled “Growing up” with the following rules text:

As a daily action, If a Breeder’s Baby Dragons is at least 1, that Breeder may clear all their statistics except Cookies and Baby Dragons and reduce their Baby Dragons by 1.

I know this is a big rule. It adds a way to replace a dragon if you don’t like the one you currently have.

against If we’re going to have breeding, the end dragon should take on the characteristics of its parents: i.e. breed a high-wings dragon with a high-flame dragon to make a dragon with both high flame and high wing. Then there could be strategies in who mates with whom.

against Per rodney. Good idea, not so good wording. I had been afraid about what ya guys would wanna do incase you wanted to change your dragon without it dieing in battle. If someone makes a proposal about culling(killing something cause its weak) I’ll veto that then and now. I hate the culling concept.

And if your dragon ends up infertile 1/3 chance, you’re just screwed?

against Seems overtly complicated to me. Maybe if we get bored with dragon battles.
