Proposal: Oh Mister Pathfinder

Remove “The Mission Control wiki page also contains a visual depiction of the continent.” and “Whenever a Pathfinder successfully completes a Location Action they should then download, amend and re-upload the map on the Mission Control page to show the location and links of the new Location.” from the ruleset.

Replace “Mission Control” with “Mission Log”, throughout the dynastic ruleset.

Enact a new rule, “Cartography”:-

One Pathfinder or the Computer may be designated as the Cartographer, and this is tracked in the following sentence. The current Cartographer is the Computer. If the Cartographer is a Pathfinder and becomes idle, then the Computer becomes the Cartographer.

A map of New Ganymede is contained in the image file [[:File:Newganymede.jpg]] on the wiki, and is known as the Map. All text on the Map is flavour text, and the imagery on it is not considered to have any meaning except for the purposes of the Computer judging its accuracy.

The Cartographer may update the Map at any time by uploading a new version of the same file. The Computer may consider the Map to be accurate if they believe that it accurately depicts all existing Locations and Links. As a weekly action which may only be taken when the Map is accurate and the Cartographer is not the Computer, the Computer may increase the Cartographer’s Prestige by 2.

If any EVCs on this proposal contain the phrase “Mapping Is For Me”, select a random Pathfinder from among those who used such a phrase in their EVC, and make them the Cartographer.

A more informal take on mapmaking: draw what you like, and get +2 Prestige per week from the Computer for doing a subjectively good job.

CoV for - I’d be more up for this if the Computer’s reward wasn’t down to whether Kevan feels like it or not, but I’ll propose an amendment and see how it does

for It doesn’t give anyone an unfair advantage for now since Kevan can’t just reward himself, but hopefully the cartographer does not change
