Proposal: Mayhem in the Megasystem

Withdrawn -SingularByte

Adminned at 30 Jul 2023 18:55:39 UTC

In the subrule “Damage and Repair”, after the text “they pay 1 of a Component to delete one of that type from its Damaged Parts” add the text:

, increase Order by 5

and add the following bullet point to the end of the list for the Salvage atomic action:

Decrease Order by 5

Since Salvaging is a Criminal Activity and repairing reverses that activity, it stands to reason that they should decrease and increase Order respectively. Not to mention that Salvaging eventually causes the Megasystem to be Destroyed, which further illustrates that Salvaging should cause a reduction in Order.

If 5 is too much change per Salvage/Repair, I’m open to other suggestions.

Broken window policing?

It’s already a Criminal Activity, so the policing is already there. This just adds in changes to Order to represent the stability of the environment.

two Repairs need to be done for every one Salvage, and there’s also Repairs that get done due to daily wear & tear, so i’m not sure they should be equivalent?

yeah, this is way too much imo. I’d rather have some kind of order penalty if a system becomes defective/destroyed, not a decrease every time a salvage happens
