Proposal: Nobody is Perfect

6-4. Times out.—Chronos

Adminned at 21 Feb 2007 03:47:57 UTC

Change the text of the first paragraph of Press to the following:

Each Actor may be the subject of up to two “Press Stories”, summarized as phrases in the “Press” field of the GNDT, and separated by an “and” if there are two of them. Whenever an Actor becomes the subject of a new Press Story, it is added to the end of the list; if this would result in three Press Stories for a single Actor, the first is forgotten, and deleted.  Every Actor starts with a random Gossip Story, chosen by a rolling DICEX, where X is the current number of Gossip Stories.  The Actor then counts down from the available stories and adds to eir Gossip category on GNDT the story corresponding to the number rolled.

Add a random gossip story to every actor using the described technique.

for I like it. Some randomness is good an having a manner to add Gossips at start is good.

I like the idea of gossip at the start, but having a random element, and not having a clear rule on who it would apply to means it’s not a good idea. against

err…it applies any new player.  It’s only random once.  Everyone gets a random gossip now, because they didn’t when they were new characters.

Thanks for clearing that up, Amnistar.
According to the rules, this vote overrides my first, right?
