Proposal: Something to do, please, anything

Passes 7-1. 7 EVCs, 2 arrows, IFI not triggered. — Quirck

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Pens:

A Student may, once in this dynasty, make a comment of COLOR: to the GNDT. They must then set the result as their Pen Colour, which is tracked in the GNDT.

Students can also be referred to by titles that depend upon their pen colour. These titles are listed in this rule.

Any Student with Red as their Pen Colour is a Marker.
Any Student with Blue as their Pen Colour is a Prefect.
Any Student with Ultraviolet as their Pen Colour is a Cryptographer.

Not sure what the other potential results of the COLOR dice roll are, so the rest will have to be added later.

against I’d rather not use the COLOR or FRUIT unless they are more explicitly defined. Kevan and anyone else with access to edit the GNDT would be well within legal grounds to temporarily change COLOR to only spit out BLUE, then change it again after their DICE roll to only spit out BLACK and WHITE for everyone else.

Clucky - wouldn’t the more sensible way of resolving that objection be to propose a legal codification of DICE results, rather than voting down proposals that make use of them?

[Clucky] That would create “unexpected behaviours in the software running the game”, against Rule 1.8. But sure, it’d be good to have these dice defined in the glossary so that players know what the odds and options are.

Can we get the system to highlight colours like it does with fruits?

Oh, also,  arrow for

[scshunt] Done. I guess the colour mechanic predates that countermeasure.

Note that the colours Blue and Ultraviolet do not exist on the die (there is only White, Red, Green, Silver, Yellow, Turquoise, Magenta, Orange, Purple and Black).

Oh, no Blue? Sad :)

As a side note, DICE0 gives 1 while rules say it must be 0…

Kevan, and what results can Fruits give?

[quirck] Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Grape, Cherry, Tangelo. (Used to be Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Hooch, Cherry, Bar for a slot machine, but someone must have changed it.)

@Kevan: I think the hooch and bars were removed during the First Dynasty of ais523 where players were expected to actually eat the fruits.

[Bucky] But Hooches and Bars are both perfectly edible!
