Proposal: PDs

1-12. Cannot be enacted w/o CoV, and then some. —Excalabur

Adminned at 07 Dec 2005 12:39:12 UTC

Add a Personality Disorders Instinct:

Voices may express Personality Disorders that shall be tracked as a comma separated list in a GNDT field named “PD”. Often, if the number of other Voices Whispering to em is greater than the number of PDs e currently has, a Voice may add to eir current PDs any PD e doesn’t have and is listed in the Personality Disorders Impulse. At any time, if a Voice has any PDs, the Ego may delete one of those PDs in order to set that Voice’s Whisper to any valid value.


Add a Personality Disorders Impulse:

* Schizoid personality disorder (SPD)- A Voice with SPD may often take an action that the Whisper Inclination allows em to take occasionally.
* Antisocial personality disorder (AsPD)- A Voice with AsPD may often add or delete one word from a Inclination as long as the remaining wording of that Inclination is Grammatically correct.
* Paranoid personality disorder (PPD)- A Voice with PPD may often choose another Voice who is Whispering to em and set that Voice’s Whisper to Null.
* Schizotypal personality disorder (StPD)- A Voice with StPD may often set the Whisper value of either Devil, Angel or Fred to any valid value.
* Borderline personality disorder (BPD)- A Voice with BPD may often alter any deferential vote to any other valid type of vote.
* Histrionic personality disorder (HPD)- A Voice with HPD may often take an action that would otherwise be allowed only to the Ego.
* Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)- A Voice with NPD may often post one extra legal Proposal, above the limits set by Law 1.3.
* Avoidant personality disorder (APD)- If a Voice with APD is not an Admin, e may often take an action that would only be allowed to an Admin. If a Voice with APD is an Admin, e may often ignore any time limits regarding the enacting of Proposals.
* Dependent personality disorder (DPD)- A Voice with DPD may often alter another Voice’s Whisper to the name of any Voice with DPD.
* Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)- A Voice with OCPD may often alter the order in which either Instincts or Inclinations are listed in the Ruleset, as long as Instincts remain Instincts, Inclinations remain Inclinations and any other ordering restriction is not violated.


Voices voting on this proposal may list any PDs they dislike, along with their vote. If any PD listed in this Proposal is disliked by *an even number* of Voices, it shall be removed from the list when this Proposal is enacted.


Complying with the Sandbox, alter Proposal: Protecting the Chook so its title becomes Proposal: Crooked Word

against i can tell you put a lot of work into this one, and i like the notion of the mechanic, however, i don’t like the idea of voices having personality disorders.  in addition, a lot of the mechanics attached to the pds you mention don’t seem that appropriate.  voices should not want to rack up pds, they should try to avoid developing/encouraging them.  i think we need a therapist.

oops, i meant, i don’t like the idea of voices having multiple personality disorders ...

Multiple PDs are tied with a handicap: having multiple other voices whispering to you. I guess that will balance things and keep people from getting that many PDs. And, furthermore, the Ego (or someone with HPD) can delete PDs.

After “Proposal: Protecting the Chook” is enacted or failed….

Hix, Law 1.3 says “Proposals can either be Pending, Enacted, or Failed.”. So, Enacted/Failed Proposals have existence as defined by the ruleset and I think they can be target by later Proposals.

imperial A creative list of powers, I’m just worried about the amount of details and contradictions I have to keep track of in this dynasty.

Current voting:

1 FOR
9 AGAINST (7 plus Devil and Angel)
3 DEFERENTIAL (2 plus Fred)

Since Excalabur voted AGAINST, the final tally is 1-12

This is the oldest pending proposal. Since this creates an instinct, 11 FOR votes are required, and with the voting as it is currently, that is not possible without a CoV.

Heh.  Thanks, Elias.  I was about to count this up, but you’ve saved me the bother.
