even though I generally like the concept.  I am a little concerned about the logistics of adoption (everyone must pick their Peeve within 48 hours of adoption or else have it selected randomly, new Actors can’t do anything until they pick their Peeve).  I’m concerned that this will be a disorderly fire drill when it is adopted.  I would suggest, rather, that upon Adoption (or upon a new Actor joining), roll a Peeve randomly (1DICEx where X is the number of valid Peeves, etc.)

48 hours isn’t onerous, though, and having your peeve randomly selected by another player is no worse than having it selected by an RNG. I agree, though, to an extent; but I didn’t want to make it a random process because I rather like the idea of people internalising their peeves and enmities.

The new player thing may be a bit hard, I suppose.

I, too, favor random peeving.  I think that would make it more fun.

Also, please note that if an Actor gets Washed Up, e can’t win the game after that.  That is, as my Betty Ford proposal stands, three Xs and e is out.  Maybe I could suggest that if Peeve=Gossip, then Rehab gets increased by one X, instead of automatically adding three.

Also, what is meant by “but the actor must replace the role that e undertook on the film e withdrew from before e may add any new roles to eir list.”

Under the Filmography rule, an actor has to have been an Extra three times before e can be an Nth Minor, and a Nth Minor three times before e can be a named role. That clause was just to establish that, if an Actor loses an Extra credit, e has to replace it before e can carry on accruing names role credits.

A nice idea, and great in theme, but the assignation needs to be sorted out. Just say that actors can’t take on a film if they don’t have a defined peeve, or something.

Good idea, keep working and repropose. 

Agree with Kevan’s suggestion.

A Proposal has only effect at the time of its enactment, unless it creates a rule.

Upon the passage of this proposal, all Actors should chose a pet peeve from the list of available Gossip Stories before undertaking any further game actions. Actors who have no Pet Peeve after 48 hours from the passage of this proposal may have eir Pet Peeve selected at random by any other Actor.

The text above has no practical effect…

I don’t think I agree, Chronos. The rulestate says that <i>“Any Actor may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate”, which strongly implies that the gamestate can be changed without a rule needing to be passed.

I don’t like the concept of retoractivly removing movies from the past.

Agreed that the first sentence you quoted doesn’t grant the ability to do anything (use of “should”), but the second does.  It’s sloppy not putting it in the ruleset, but allowed.

Chin, I guess I was interpreting the chronology of this dynasty non-literally; as in, all of these films are currently “in production”, regardless of their real-world status, and can be withdrawn from at any time.

Just to avoid jumping on the bandwagon.

The whole new actor clause is problematic. It should read something like “If an actor without a pet peeve adds a film to the filmography wiki, e is assigned a random pet peeve.

CoV per Doremi.

Doesn’t matter, it’s not at the top of the queueueue :)
