Proposal: Reseeding

Timed out and failed, 1-3. Josh

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Paralleliser Seeds:

The [[Dynasty Data]] page holds seeds that can be used to generate parallel universe data in the Paralleliser. Those seeds can only be amended as described in this rule.

The list on the [[Dynasty Data]] page headed Emperors may be referred to as the Emperor Seed List. By default it contains the names of every Emperor from Prime Dynasties 101 to 199, returning ‘None’ for metadynasties and ‘Coregency’ for the Alice in Wonderland Coregency, and the name of every Emperor from every parallel dynasty that has been discovered; if at any time it does not have the contents thus described then any Maestro Team Member or the Space Maestro may update it accordingly.

The list on the [[Dynasty Data]] page headed Themes may be referred to as the Theme Seed List. By default it contains the names of the themes of every Prime Dynasty numbered between 101 and 199 and every parallel dynasty that has been discovered, in the format for ‘The x Dynasty’, where x is usually (but not necessarily) a noun or noun phrase (with the exception of the Alice in Wonderland Coregency, which is styled as such); if at any time it does not have the contents thus described then any Maestro Team Member or the Space Maestro may update it accordingly.

In the Dynasty Data page, remove ‘, 101-199’ from any headings where it appears, and in the rule Parallel BlogNomic chance ‘a seed list of Emperors (101-199) list from the Dynasty Data page’ to ‘the Emperor Seed List’ and ‘a seed list of Themes (101-199) list from the Dynasty Data page’ to ‘the Theme Seed List’.

I prefer the current weighted Bayesian list to a list of each Emperor name once, if that’s how this is meant to be read.

It’s not! The only change should be the progressive addition of newly generated names. It is ambiguous at best, though.

against the “theme” of a dynasty I don’t think is actually well defined. We can use the current list and be like “this is the theme” but I think if we tried to be like “this has the theme by default” it wouldn’t work because I don’t think a dynasty’s theme is ever officially defined anywhere
