BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Enact the following in order.

If at least half of comments containing counted votes contain the “Drop It Like It’s X”, where X is one of the bolded titles, do not enact anything in the blockquote immediately following the bolded title.

Loud

Add a rule entitled “I Can Hear You”:

Two Monks are considered to be an Audible Distance away if both Monks are within ten Moves of one another without going through any Doors, Locked Doors, Walls, or Blank Spaces.

Any Monk can hear a Noise made by a Monk an Audible Distance away.

If the rule Fighting exists, add the sentence “When a Monk Picks a Fight, e makes a Noise.” to the end of it.

Musical

Add a rule entitled “Chanting”.

Any Monk may often start a Chant if e hasn’t chanted yet that day.

When a Monk starts a Chant, e chants.

Any Monk that is within Audible Distance of a chanting monk also chants, unless e has already chanted that day.

When a Monk chants, e gains X Integrity, where X is the number of Monks that wouldn’t have chanted if e hadn’t chanted.

Example: Hix starts a Chant. Eir chanting causes both Elias IX, who is 10 moves left, and Bucky, who is 10 moves right, to chant. Bucky’s chanting causes Rodney and Thelonious, who are both 7 moves right of Bucky, to chant.

If Hix hadn’t chanted, five Monks (Hix, Elias IX, Bucky, Rodney, and Thelonious) wouldn’t have chanted, so e gains 5 integrity.
If Bucky hadn’t chanted, three Monks (Bucky, Rodney, and Thelonious) wouldn’t have chanted, so e gains 3 integrity.
Rodney and Thelonious both gain one, since they can’t cause each other to chant, since even if either hadn’t chanted, the other one still would.
Lastly, Elias gains 1 integrity.

Scandinavian

Add a rule entitled “The Pirates of IKEA”

Viking raids occur once a week. Once per day, if a Viking raid hasn’t yet occurred that week, a DICEX shall be rolled, where X is determined by the number of days until the week ends, rounded up. Example: Monday = 7, Tuesday = 6,... Saturday = 2, Sunday = 1. If the result of this dice roll is a 1, then a Viking raid occurs. The Monk who rolled the die shall then post to the Main Page with either the title “grrrr grrrr grrrr” or “Viking Raid”. E can insert anything more into the post’s body that e wishes.

When a Viking raid occurs, any Monk who is on a space signified by a period (i.e., on the grounds) has eir Fitness reduced by 2.

Childish

Add a rule entitled Jankenpon.

Any Monk may once per each period of Game Day, Game Night, or Midlight Period initiate a game of “Jesus, Peter, Judas” with any Monk within two Moves of em.  Initiating a game of Jesus, Peter, Judas makes a Noise.

E does this by first posting a comment to the GNDT choosing only one of the following: “Jesus”, “Peter”, and “Judas”. E then rolls a DICE3, which determines the other Monk’s play. A roll of a 1 means the other Monk played “Jesus”, a roll of 2, “Peter”, and a roll of 3, “Judas”.

If one Monk played “Jesus” and the other played “Peter”, than the Monk that played “Jesus” wins.
If one Monk played “Peter” and the other played “Judas”, than the Monk that played “Peter” wins.
If one Monk played “Judas” and the other played “Jesus”, than the Monk that played “Judas” wins.

If both Monks played the same, then increase both Monks’ Integrity by 1 for showing exemplary biblical unity. Then decrease both Monks’ Integrity by 1 for ungodly telepathy.

Winning or losing a game of Jesus, Peter, Judas have no effects until this Ruleset explicitly defines effects for those events, at which time this sentence shall be deleted.

Jesus, Peter, Judas is a relatively sacred game for Monks, and thus may have different effects during different times of day/night/midlight.

The Monk that initated the game shall then post to the Main Page the results of the game.
