Proposal: Selective Breeding

reached quorum 4-0 enacted by card

Adminned at 18 Sep 2018 15:31:51 UTC

In the dynastic rule entitled “Neanderthals”, change the text “The Neanderthals have Genetics, which is a list of five Genes, noted in the GNDT as a list of the first two letters of the name of each Gene in the Neanderthals’ “Genetics” column” to read as follows:

The Neanderthals have Genetics, which is a list of six Genes, noted in the GNDT by as a list of the first two letters of the name of that Genein the Neanderthals’ “Genetics” column. For example: NoNoNoDeSp/In

The sixth Gene slot, separated by a slash, keeps track of the Neanderthals’ Oppressor Gene. This Gene slot cannot be changed except as required by the performance of a New Generation Event.

Change the last item of the bulleted list under step #3 of the process detailed in the dynastic rule “New Generation Event” to read as follows:

The Fighting Ape whose genes contributed the most to the Ape Strength is the Alpha Ape for this New Generation Event (in the event of a tie there is no Alpha Ape). If the Alpha Ape does not own a Legacy Marker gene then they may add one as set out in the dynastic rule entitled Genes. If they do then the Neanderthals’ Oppressor Gene is set to the Legacy Marker gene of the Alpha Ape.

Add the following as a new bullet point to the list under item #4 of the same rule:

Set the Oppressor Gene of the Neanderthals to /No.

Although the New Generation Event Roller script still needs to be updated to cope with Legacy Markers. Testing it, it currently outputs invalid Genetic strings, which would (I think) mean that the Apes assigned them would have their Genetics left unchanged.

for With this rule, it seems to me that we would not yet be adding Legacy Marker Genes to Apes (just Neanderthals), so we can delay changes to the splicing a little longer.

Once we’ve added a Legacy Marker to the list of Genes (which this proposal would allow), there’s a chance that any Mutation could then add it to an Ape.

Ah yes; I forgot about that.
