Proposal: Initialising the Means of Production

Withdrawn. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 08 Jul 2023 11:54:24 UTC

If there is a rule “Initialisation”, add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset called “Means of Production” and give it the following text:

The basic means of production is to ensure that each Production System is solidly and contiguously Connected in order to facilitate the collection of Resources. Whenever the output is not optimal due to Damage, it is recommended to take systems Offline before you attempt to Repair any part of the system.

perhaps i didn’t explain it well enough — initialisation keys are meant to be mechanical keywords, like just individual terms! we’ll start making Agenda conditions like “have 10 Resources” and “75% of all Production Systems are Offline” in Phase Two. i think that just the words “Resources” and “Production System(s)” are the keyterms here :0

i’ll edit the Phase One proposal to explain that Initialisation Keys are meant to be individual keywords.

To be fair, you did say “actions” and “gamestate”, which I felt those phrases were representative of such things.

Strong DEF on this one.

Ok, I’ve fixed it so that the terms are keywords instead.

@Bucky: I’m not sure why this earns a strong DEF. Things like “production”, “damage”, and “repair” are on-brand for this dynastic theme, no?

@JonathanDark i said “the names of resources, actions, or other interactable game constructs” — so the idea is that initialisation keys are nouns :0

imperial I’m not sure how one would fulfill any of this as an agenda

against i like the ideas, but i do think that this is too many keyterms too tightly-packed together! Phase Two starts as soon as there’s twice as many keyterms as there are players, after all, and aorn this short paragraph fills up half of all possible slots :0

I’ll have a re-think on this once there are more Proposals of keywords from other people.
