Proposal: Ranking, take 5

The attempt allow another to hold the Rank of General does not go unnoticed.

That is all.

General Amnistar

Adminned at 17 Feb 2009 12:21:58 UTC

Make a new rule, “Ranks”:

Each Soldier has a Rank, tracked in the GNDT. Some Ranks have prerequisites, and if a Soldier meets the prerequisites for a Rank, they may change their Rank to any Rank they meet the prerequisites for. The following are valid Ranks:

*General (Prerequisites: The Soldier’s Loyalty is equal to “Whipped Cream”)
*Private: (Prerequisites: The Soldier does not met the prerequisites for any Rank other than Private)

Set all Soldiers’ Ranks to Private. Set Amnistar’s rank to General.

If at least half of all comments containing counted votes on this proposal also contain the text ” :VICTORY: “, add the following to the end of rule “Ranks”:

If a Soldier (other than the General)‘s Rank is General, they achieve victory.

There. Now General has a prerequisite which no-one can meet. Once someone comes up with a good victory condition, they should propose a change to the General’s prerequisite.

against I think Rodlen’s Positions proposal (which looks set to pass) makes this one unnecessary bloat; we’ll already have a way of doing anything worthwhile/game-affecting (IMO) this new rule would do (except for the win condition, which I disagree with anyway).

I might vote for this if the following were true:

1) The General’s pre-requisite is, “The Soldier’s name is Amnistar.”

2) The win condition were removed.

Also the Private requirement forms a stable logic loop. Additionally it forces soldiers to automatically change rank as soon as they are capable. I motion that there be no prerequisite for Private.

Also, Gnauga: Nothing says you have to stop being a Rank when you fail to satisfy its prerequisites.

Although, s/k   against  per Devenger.

against (Yeah, I noticed the S/K)

Overloading “General” is worse than having 2 rules named “Health”.  See the First Dynasty of Elias IX for the incident where Bucky changed his name to “Captain”, and everyone went Librarian-poo.

Regardless, the private rank is recursive. Query: What are the prerequisites for Private? Answer: You must reach the prerequisites for no rank but Private. Thus, Query: What are the prerequisites for Private?
