Proposal: Scurvy Saps Strength

timed out, final vote 7-0—Yoda

Adminned at 17 Mar 2008 18:23:53 UTC

Amend dynastic rule 2.22 (“Battles”) to read:

As a daily action, a Captain who is at Sea may Attack another Captain who is at Sea, by making a blog post stating the action. The attack is resolved by making a comment in the GNDT of “DICEX DICEY”, where X is one more than the size of the Attacking Captain’s Army, and Y one more than the size of the Attacked Captain’s Army. If a Captain’s Sickness is set to Scurvy, eir Army size shall be counted as two-thirds of its actual size recorded in the GNDT, rounded down. Should the first DICE roll be strictly greater than the second, then the Attack is successful, and the Attacking Captain may plunder 2DICE10 gold from the other Captain, whose Flavour is set to Bitter. Otherwise the Attacked Captain has fended off the attack, and the Attacking Captain loses half of the first DICE roll, rounded up, from the size of eir Army, and eir Flavour is set to Bitter. No Captain may Attack the same Captain more than once in a week.

Modifications in bold.

Haha, I wonder if the subject of this proposal was inspired by my proposal, or if it is just a coincidence?

I think I read it before posting this, and saw Yoda’s comment (“sickness saps strength”). I wasn’t consciously inspired (I thought about this yesterday), though the title might have been subconsciously drawn from it. I just tried to think of a good alliteration and happened to use the same words. Stuff like this has happened to me before. :)
