BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Btw, cool title :)

I see what it’s trying to do, but I think “does not have enough power” is too vague.

@Kevan: Would: “does not have enough power required by the mob” be better wording?

Better, but there’s still enough of a sliver of ambiguity for someone to argue a scam (“the Mob ‘require’ X credits, or all of my credits if I have less than X, so I’ve met their requirement”).

And actually, I think the power loss wouldn’t work anyway: “Any action that would set [a non-negative variable] below zero is an illegal action unless explicitly otherwise stated in the ruleset.”, so if I had 5 and lost 10, I’d hit an illegal action and just stay at 5.

I’d just boil it down to something like “The number of Credits lost in this way during a Cycle is X. If the player who influenced the Mob has Power greater than or equal to half of X, then they gain X Credits and lose X/2 Power.”

COV thanks Kevan.
