Proposal: Puissance issuance

Unpopular 1-8. Failed by derrick

Adminned at 07 May 2020 21:17:50 UTC

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Puissance:

Each Role has a Puissance, which is tracked on the Community page of the wiki. It must be a non-negative integer and defaults to zero.

Any Amnesiac whose Asserted Role is the Role with the highest (or joint-highest) Puissance may not take any dynastic actions other than to change their Asserted Role.

As a weekly communal action, any Amnesiac may increase the Puissance of each Role by the number of Amnesiacs who have Asserted it.

If Proposal: I, Spartacus was enacted, in the rule Puissance, change the phrase “Asserted Role” to “Posture” and change the last line of the rule to read “As a weekly communal action, any Amnesiac may increase the Puissance of each Role by the number of Amnesiacs who have that Role as their Posture.”

Encouraging shifting through roles rather than settling on the most powerful

This feels like a premature fix for something that isn’t a problem yet, and which is likely to manifest differently anyway, depending on what power (if any) we actually give to Asserted Roles.

The fact that there are no current actions to take with the Roles makes this proposal a wildcard: will the Puissance be an absolute necessity, or the bane of everyone’s existence? That paired with the fact that almost all Roles would be unactionable considering how everyone is spreading out with Posturing makes this not quite work.  against

I like the idea, but it misses the mark a bit, I think.
