Proposal: Round One

Reached quorum 9 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 03 Mar 2023 09:35:50 UTC

If Proposal: Pretty Little Rows and Columns did not enact, skip the rest of this proposal.

Create a new dynastic rule named “Runners” with the following body:

Each Runner has a set amount of Power, which is a non-negative integer value privately tracked by the Gridmaster for each Runner.

If a Runner’s Location is set to a Cell whose value is Battery, the Gridmaster should notify them of this at their earliest convenience if they haven’t already.

While a Runner’s Location is set to a Cell whose value is Battery, if they haven’t already done so since the last Tick, they may privately request the Gridmaster to Collect, after which the Gridmaster should perform the following atomic action:
- Increase the Runner’s Power by 1
- Set the value of the Cell contained in the Runner’s Location at the time of them making the request to -

Create a new dynastic rule named “The Lines” with the following body:

The Stratum is a publicly tracked non-negative integer value that defaults to 0.

If they have not done so in the last 48 hours, the Gridmaster should, at their earliest convenience, Initialise, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Increase the Stratum by 1
* Set the Value of all Cells to -
* Privately randomly select 5 Cells and set their Value to Battery

The base for world generation/resource collection. My idea was making it so you have to escape from each Stratum somehow before it disappears, but I’ll leave that for later

It’s “Gridmaster”, not “Gatemaster”

I have a feeling I’m going to make that mistake many more times

fixed

“If a Runner’s Location is set to a Cell whose value is Power” - should that be Battery?

“* Privately randomly select 5 Cells and set their Value to Battery”

“If a Runner’s Location is set to a Cell whose value is Battery, the Gridmaster should notify them of this at their earliest convenience.”

Can you add “if they haven’t already” to avoid an infinite loop of notification requirement?

Reason for the above is if the Runner’s Location is in a Cell that is initially Empty, but later the Cell is set to Battery and the Runner’s Location hasn’t changed. “Set” does not necessarily imply that the Location has changed, at least in my mind.

done. that ran through my mind at one point, but I’m lazy

imperial A little cold on the Power/Batteries relationship for its first-taste similarities to the way things worked in the last dynasty, but I’m sure we can find a twist.

Understandable, but there’s No Cooperation in this one, so people will have to find their own scams, and if they find them and don’t use them. it’s their own fault.

imperial  I don’t mind power, but I feel like the constant map resets will make this very chaotic and RNG-based.
