Proposal: Raiding houses

Reached quorum 8 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 10 Feb 2023 18:22:51 UTC

If the proposal STzgXXU6GpI failed, this proposal does nothing.

Add the following to the list in the rule “Found Items”:

*Thermos
*Thick Jacket
*Branches
*Cudgel

Add the following subrules to items:

Thermos:

Each thermos has a publicly tracked non-negative integer value called its Heat, defaulting to 50. A Villager with a Thermos may Make Tea: they pay an amount of Heat from a thermos they are holding to increase the Heat of any villager in the same room as them by that amount. A Villager is permitted to target themselves with that action. If a Villager has targetted a Villager with this action, they may not do so again to that same Villager within 24 hours.

Thick Jacket:

Any time a Villager would lose any amount of Heat, they lose half that amount instead. (This item has no effect if it would reduce the heat loss to zero.)

Branches:

A villager who is Outside and has Branches may Start a Fire: They destroy the branches, and increase the Heat of everyone outside by 10. Any thermos being held by any villagers outside have their heat increased by 20.

Cudgel:

If a villager is holding a Cudgel, they are not a valid target for Roughhousing actions, unless the villager performing that action also has a cudgel.

Replace the final bullet point in Searches with

for each Villager who joined the Search that is being ended, if that Villager is Outside: Reduce their time by 20. If their time was successfully reduced by 20, select a random entry from the list of Found Items. Then—if the selected entry is not Nothing—add it to that Villager’s Items.

If the proposal Tapping the Thermometer was enacted, divide all numbers in the rules Thermos and Branches by 10 (except “24 hours”).
If the proposal I swear to god I will turn this makeshift tent around failed or I May Be Some Time failed: Remove the rule Cudgel. Remove the Cudgel from the rule Found Items.

May want to clarify that a Villager has to have at least 20 Time to Search, otherwise you might be able to argue that a Villager who Searches with no Time still gets an item without losing any Time (and therefore Heat).

I voted in favor because I like this and it’s out of the edit window, but Thick Jacket’s going to get weird when trying to subtract 0.1 -> 0.05 Heat. A given Villager’s Heat gets rounded toward zero, but amounts of Heat don’t; does that mean that the Jacket has no effect on 0.1 Heat loss effects?

Also, I’m pretty sure that as written, this removes the Cudgel from the Found Items regardless of what passes or doesn’t.
