Proposal: Patch Notes

Unpopular, 1-5. Josh

Adminned at 21 May 2025 12:19:44 UTC

Add a subrule to “Drafts and Plans” called “Revisions”

A Revision is a draft whose name contains a “/” and for which the section before that “/” is the name of another draft and the section after the “/” is the name of the Drafter who created the Revision. The contents of a revision should match that draft, but with one or more changes applied to it, and is considered to be a Revision of that Draft.

Revision are considered to be gamestate. If a Drafter has not already created a Revision for a Plan which is not their own, they may create a Revision for that Plan at any time. The list of each revision for a given plan is publicly tracked on the gamestate tracking page.

The Drafter who created a Revision is permitted to edit it, except in ways that would cause it to no longer be a Draft.

against I don’t know how much your iteration of Jonathan’s draft changing some example nouns is intended as an example of how this would be used, but it seems like redundant tracking when the inspiration can be noted in the free text summary of a Draft and/or the name of it, as you’ve done there.

imperial I can see some uses for being able to suggest an alternative version of someone else’s draft while keeping your own around – a sort-of collaborative dynasty-building exercise.

I’m not convinced that it needs Rules support, though.

I’d rather see everyone come up with their own unique Plans than borrow from each others’. My interpretation of the purpose of this dynasty was to pick the best among a wide-ranging set of possible future dynasties, and I’d like to have as many different choices as possible, rather than picking between variations of mostly the same thing.
