Proposal: Mutually Exclusive Destruction

Passes 11-3 -Darth

Adminned at 12 May 2010 09:00:45 UTC

Add a new dynastic rule entitled “Quality over Quantity”, reading:

Each Blognomicker has one or more Qualities that are conferred upon them by actions or definitions in the ruleset.  Each Quality explicitly created by a proposal shall have one column created in the GNDT to track the value of that Quality, and that proposal must list a default value and an exhaustive list of its possible values.  A Blognomicker may only have one value per Quality at any given time.  If a player “becomes”, “is”, “is made to have” (or similar wording) a value that is possible for a particular Quality, the new value shall replace the old value for that Quality.

If Proposal: Let the Battle of Wits Commence passes, add to “Vizzini’s Victory”:

Culture is a Quality.  Its default value is Florinese.  Sicilian, Florinese, Guilderian, Asian, and Australian are its potential values.

If Proposal: Remodeled Restaurant passes, add to “Heart of Gold”:

Threat is a Quality.  Its default value is Harmless.  Harmless, Mostly Harmless, Mostly Harmful, and Harmful are its potential values.

This is probably not optimally worded, but if the basic idea is acceptable, please suggest a favorable rewording of the concept in the comments and I will s/k and repropose.

for Although I’d probably just go for a single GNDT field that was a free text list of any keywords that were required. (Someone did say that a free text field would cause problems on a mobile device, but I don’t remember there being any explanation of why.)

agreed with Kevan.  I occasionally access blognomic from an iphone and I believe that the issue is with trying to alter, not view, a free text field.  (For similar reasons, it’s nearly impossible to edit a blog comment from an iphone, although it is possible to post one if you’re prepared to simply type it from beginning to end without trying to cursor around within the text entry box).
