Proposal: Ream Awe Dwelling

Passes with 8 votes in favor and 0 votes against. Enacted by Brendan..

Replace the text of the rule “Buildings” with the following:

A Cell can have up to three Projects (defaulting to none). A Project consists of the name of a Building and a number equal to the number of Adherents assigned to that Project. A Project with less than 1 Adherent Assigned to it ceases to exist.
A Project naming a Public Building is a Public Project and is publicly tracked; a Project naming a Secret Building is a Secret Project. The associated number and Building name of a Secret Project is privately tracked by the Ministry of Information, but the existence of the Project is marked by an instance of the text “███████” listed alongside any Public Projects held by the same Cell.

At the end of each Cycle, each Building gains 3 Progress per current Adherent that is assigned to a Project naming that Building.

There are Public Buildings (publicly tracked) and Secret Buildings (privately tracked by the Ministry of Information). Buildings have a name, a Progress Amount (defaulting to 0), a Progress Requirement (defaulting to 100), and an Effect. When a Building’s Progress Amount equals or exceeds their Progress Requirement, its Effect occurs immediately, and then its Progress Amount is returned to 0.

The following are the Public Buildings, their Progress Requirements in brackets, and then their Effects:
- Committee Hall [300]: All Cells become Leaders.
- Earthlink Tower [400]: The rule Buildings is repealed.
- Surveillance Center [100]: The Progress Amount of the Secret Building with the lowest Progress Amount becomes 0.
- Copbot Depot [100]: The Progress Amount of the Secret Building with the highest Progress Amount becomes 0.

The following are the Secret Buildings, their Progress Requirement in brackets and then their Effect:
- Criminal Hideout [200]: All Cells that are Leaders cease to be Leaders, then Cell/s that contributed the most Progress to this Building become Leader/s.
- Covert Listening Station [150]: The Cell/s that contributed the most Progress to this Building become Leader/s. All other Secret Buildings’ Progress Amounts become 0.
- Underground Printhouse [100]: The Cell/s that contributed the most Progress to this Building become Leader/s.
- Demolition Lab [200]: The Progress Amount of the Public Building with the highest Progress Amount becomes 0.

Each Cell is a Leader or not (defaulting to not), and this is privately tracked by the Ministry of Information. Non-Leaders cannot achieve victory.

Set all buildings’ Progress amounts and all Cells’ Projects to their defaults.

lots of little fixes to this rule: renaming tasks to projects (just cause it fits the theme better imo), clearing up some wording around when building effects come into play, making building names into actual building names, making building effects happen instead of demand an action from some unnamed actor, and making building progress depend on assigning adherents rather than a static +20 per player per cycle. i haven’t messed with the progress requirements, but i have set the rate of increase to 3-per adherent, assuming that 5-7 adherents is gonna be a good quantity for a well-off cell to hold. alternatively, we could later change it to 1 progress per adherent and divide progress requirements by 3, but that’s another proposal’s job. a method for assigning adherents to Projects is also intentionally absent, since that’s something i think is gonna take some discussion & negoation, and this is mostly meant to be a maintenance proposal :0

Is this missing something about how Adherents are assigned to Projects?

@kevan intentionally, as the commentary says!! this proposal does a lot of fixing little things up and i wanted to leave the exact method of assigning projects open to a proposal that’s less weighed-down by little fixes

Oh, fair enough, I must have tuned out before the end of that lowercase paragraph.

So this switches Tasks off for now, but there’s not much going on with them yet anyway.
