BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Add a new Dynastic Rule called “Action Points”

Players have a number of Action Points which are tracked in the Players table on the “Archipelago” wiki page. A Player’s Action Points cannot exceed 10 and any action that would set it higher than 10 instead sets it to 10. As a Daily Communal Action, a player may increase the Action Points of all Players by 1.

Action Points default to three or the median value of Action Points held by all Players, whichever is higher.

Set all Players Action Points to 3

Add a new Dynastic Rule called “Villagers”

Villagers are non-player characters who reside on the Blognomic Archipelago. Each Villager has a Name, Description, Species, and Personality. Villager Names and Descriptions are both flavor text. Legal values for each of these attributes is as follows

* Name: Can be any alphanumeric string of no more than 12 characters. Spaces are also allowed provided they occur in the middle of the string and no two consecutive characters are a space. Two Villagers may not have the same Name
* Appearance: Can be a short phrase between one and six words
* Species: Can be ‘Bear’, ‘Bird’, ‘Cat’, ‘Dino’, ‘Dog’, ‘Elephant’, ‘Frog’, ‘Monkey’, ‘Mouse’ or ‘Rabbit’
* Personality: Can be ‘Friendly’, ‘Jock, ‘Lazy’, or ‘Skittish’

Villagers are their respective attributes are tracked in the “Villagers” table of the “Archipelago” wiki page.

As a weekly Action, a Player may add a new villager by randomly selecting a Species and Personality from the list of all available values and then choosing a Name and Appearance.

If the total number of Villagers is less than four times the number of Players, a Player may perform the above action a second time each week but still may not do so more than once every twenty-four hours.

Add a new Dynastic Rule called “Islands”

Islands are game state objects which are tracked in the “Islands” table of the “Archipelago” wiki page. Each Island has a Name and a Mayor. Island Names are flavor text.

If a Player is not the Mayor of an Island, that may add a new Island giving it a Name and making themselves the Mayor. An Island’s Name cannot be more than 20 characters long, must be unique and cannot be “None”. If a Player is the Mayor of an Island, it is said to be their Island.

Each Villager has a Location, which is the Name of an Island or “None” and defaults to “None”. A Villager whose Location is not “None” is said to be a Resident of the Island corresponding to their Location. A Villager whose Location is “None” is said to be Displaced.

If an Island has eight or more Villagers who are Residents, it is Full. A Player who is the Mayor of an Island may spend two Action Points to change the Location of any Villager to their Island, provided their Island is not Full and that Villager has not had their location changed within the last 96 hours (or week, if the Villager is Skittish). The last time a villager’s location changed is tracked in the Villagers table of the “Archipelago” wiki page.
