While I like the concept this will get confusing, and technically, they will no longer be cult worshiping… which breaks other proposals…

I made one for every possible combination of stories…
Would you support this if I made the effects of “Cult-worshipping” apply to each of these, ChinDoGu?

hmm.. find a way thats less spammy to both the ruleset and the columnlength in the gndt, and still alllows them ot count as cultworshiping and i’d be in favor of it.

Adds complexity without there being any straightforward prospect of the game becoming more fun or interesting.

To those of you voting against:
Would you mind telling m why you are voting against this? If you have objections that can be changed, Then I will try to incorporate them in a re-proposal of this. However, if you just vote against it, how can I know what part of it you are objecting to?

against Nice, but GNDT-bloating. The same concept without the GNDT-affecting would be fine for me.

against Edo, AGAINST votes without reasoning are bothersome, but kind of inevitable. Sometimes we just don’t have the time, or the will, to explain why we are voting agaisnt something.

My vote is because of the ruleset spamming angle.

against I agree with the other objections being raised about bloating the GNDT and creating complexities.

Why are there two cults for alcoholics?
