Proposal: Look Dad No Tunes

Reached quorum 8 votes to 2. Enacted by Kevan. Clucky, Spitemaster and Darknight become Band Members; so does Cpt_Koen, but since it’s illegal for him to be a Band Member, nothing happens.

Enact a new rule, “In the Band”:-

Musicians may be Band Members or Hangers On. This is tracked as a “Band” field in the GNDT, noted as “Yes” if the Musician is a Band Member and “No” or “-” if they are a Hanger On. All Musicians start as Hangers On.

Enact a new rule, “Respect and Grievance”:-

Each Musician may Respect one Musician (or Idle Musician) and have a Grievance against one Musician (or Idle Musician). These are tracked as the name of a Musician, or the name of an Idle Musician, in the “Respect” and “Grievance” fields of the GNDT respectively. A Musician may not Respect themselves, nor have a Grievance against themselves.

If all Band Members Respect the same Hanger On and no Band Members have a Grievance against that Hanger On, then that Hanger On becomes a Band Member.

If all but one of the Band Members have a Grievance against the same Band Member, and no Band Members Respect that Band Member, then that Band Member becomes a Hanger On.

Upon enactment of this proposal, four different Musicians shall be selected at random from those who commented on the proposal, using GNDT die rolls. Each of those four Musicians shall become Band Members; all other Musicians shall be Hangers On.

Given that Ltn_Koen has used both slots, here’s a mechanical retake on the idea of voting people in and out of the band.

for There would be an issue if less than 4 people commented on this, but it’s not likely to happen.

True enough, but we’d have bigger problems if this timed out with three or fewer votes.

for Unanimity seems a little too much though.

Oh, and I just realized - Central Office doesn’t prevent me from being a Musician for the purpose of proposals.

Shouldn’t there be a line that lets you change your support/grevience whenver you want?

[Clucky] Good point. And they need default values. I’m still waking up.

against The idea was originally more about “attacking” a Musician, lowering their “health,” not the traditional mafia voting style. As half the players will be of one style, and half another, I do not believe this will work.

We’ll also need a victory condition at some point. If votes are unanimous, then how to pick someone?
The winner cannot be the last survivor, otherwise factions don’t make any sense.

imperial I really can’t decide on this one, but I think a chance to be in the band is a good thing.
