Proposal: Metaphor

Vetoed—Clucky

Adminned at 19 Apr 2007 07:32:02 UTC

In the rule “Lifeform Complexity” add the following:

If the sum of the Complexity of all Lifeforms equals or exceeds 100, and one Lifeform has more DNA points than any other, than that Lifeform has achieved victory.  At any point, any Lifeform may voluntarily reduce eir Complexity, to a minimum of zero.

Remember, the Gene Pool is not a lifeform.

Interesting concept.

for Although I’m not sure how I feel about the ability to voluntarily reduce complexity.

meh, you can spend it on abilities or whatever.

Would turn the game into one of hording DNA and simply increasing ones own complexity. Anyone who wanted to compete would either have to do the same or increase eir complexity to become more complex. Also, this ties the game to gamesize, which isn’t much fun. Also, would mean we have to be very careful about complexity loopholes.

against I’d like to see a S-K or veto here, per what Clucky said.
