Ascension Address: Mollusc Sports
Important announcement to all snails participating in this week’s race!
The jury would like to inform you of the following to stop last week’s accidents from happening again:
* Extensive use of magic, spacerockets and lungfish is strongly discouraged
* Try to move towards the finish line at least sometimes
* In case of an approaching alien organism, follow the standard evacuation protocol, i.e. crawl in random directions in panic
* Please do not eat the rubber ducks! They are for track maintenance purposes only
Throughout the ruleset, replace Genetic Engineer with Snail and Head Researcher with Jury.
Include te Building Block “Precondition Unidling”
Imperial style:
Proposal style: designer/provocateur/onlooker
Player protection: protective
Desired workload: between hands-off and casual
Attitude to scams: scam-opposed (a new option I just added)
Information sharing: oblivious
Predicatbility: instinctual
Kevan: he/him
Scam-opposed seems like a good call, but the Imperial Styles wiki page is considered to be gamestate these days (because the ruleset includes a link to it), so it can’t be amended at will, it needs a proposed amendment.
It’s fine to play on regardless, though, because the style declaration isn’t itself binding.
(For reference the style was added as “won’t remark on minor scams, but might move to close major loopholes; might veto major scams; will usually only assist in a scam if the rules require them to”.)
