Proposal: Primogeniture

Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 28 Nov 2023 09:04:36 UTC

Add a new rule called “Attributes” with the following text:

Each Heir has a publicly tracked Age, which is a non-negative integer defaulting to 18.  When an Heir first becomes unidle during the dynasty, their Age becomes 3DICE20+10.

For each Heir, roll 3DICE20+10 and set their Age to the result.

If a rule titled “Claims” exists, add a new Claim named “Eldest”, with a Strength of 50 and a requirement of “have the highest Age among all Heirs”.

Adding a basic placeholder Claim and a little bit of starting asymmetry

You might want to cover cases where people join the game, not just become unidle. Otherwise, brand new players will be forced to be 18 automatically.

That’s why I said “becomes unidle”, rather than “unidles”, to cover people joining and thus becomes an unidle player for the first time. Does that not work?

I’m not actually sure. The term unidle in the ruleset is only ever applied to the rule Idle Heirs (and a brief mention in Hiatus), and only in the context of ceasing to be considered idle.

It’s definitely something that that could be debated.

I think “becomes unidle” applies to joining the game, yeah!

Yeah, it seemed like there’s no term for an “active player” or “becoming active”

Just “defaulting to 3DICE20+10” would be fine, wouldn’t it?

I was trying to avoid the situation where someone deliberately clears their Age to re-roll it, don’t know if it would ever come up, though.

The dangling “defaulting to 18” bothers me.  imperial
