Proposal: Inspire the People

Withdrawn. Josh

Adminned at 18 Jul 2023 20:40:33 UTC

In the rule “Crime & Commerce”, subrule “Graffiti”, change “A Machinist may spend 1 Paint to create a piece of Graffiti (although this is a Crime) in the Megasystem that they currently inhabit, with text of their choosing up to 80 characters in length. A Machinist may spend 1 Paint to remove any number of characters from any number of pieces of Graffiti in the Megasystem that they currently inhabit.” to:

At any time, a Machinist may spend 1 Paint to Deface, which is a daily atomic action with the following steps:
* Create a piece of Graffiti in the same Megasystem you’re inhabiting, with text of your choosing up to 80 characters in length
* Decrease Order by n, where n is the total amount of pieces of Graffiti in existence

At any time, a Machinist may spend 1 Paint to Clean, which is a daily atomic action with the following steps:
* Remove any number of characters from any number of pieces of Graffiti in the Megasystem you’re inhabiting
* Delete all pieces of Graffiti that contain 0 characters
* Increase Order by n, where n is the total amount of pieces of Graffiti deleted during this action

Basic method for increasing and decreasing Order
would also like to tie punishments and repairs into Order somehow but I can’t think of any good ways right now

i don’t see why these are restricted to being daily, and if that’s the case shouldn’t they be Mechanised Actions instead?

the original graffiti actions were daily so I thought I might as well make these ones too (and I wouldn’t want people to stockpile paint and then immediately crash Order). forgot that mechanised actions exist though

also forgot to make the deface action a crime. oops

for even though there’s some things to clean up.

for Graffiti was never a daily action. The Paint cost seems like enough of a limit on how many times you can perform it.

against you still have an open proposal slot; i’d prefer u repropose this with mechanised or non-daily actions and an adjustment to the crimes list!

@Kevan my main concern is that people can stockpile paint and then immediately crash order by abusing the exponential growth that comes from having multiple graffiti in existence

anyways,  against

withdrawn per lemon, will repropose soon

not even sure if it’s worth keeping the exponential growth part in, could maybe offload that to some other action
