Proposal: Spawn

1-7. Can’t be enacted w/o CoV.—Chronos

Adminned at 01 Apr 2007 08:26:25 UTC

This proposal adds an activity called “breeding”, which allows two creatures to be replaced by their offspring, but it doesn’t yet give a mechanism for how breeding is initiated. Presumably by mutual consent somehow. I thought I’d separate that part, just so that this proposal doesn’t die for having a buggy initiation mechanism. Another proposal will need to be passed before any breeding can occur.

If the subrule “Evolutionary Variables” does not exist, this Proposal does nothing.
Add a new rule called “Breeding”:

Breeding happens like this: For each Evolutionary Variable, each of the two lifeforms involved in the breeding chooses a random number equal to DICEX + DICEY - 2, where X is 1 greater than eir own value of that Variable before the breeding began, and Y is 1 greater than the other lifeform’s value of that Variable before the breeding began. This random number replaces eir value of that Variable. A lifeform that starts the breeding process must finish it before taking any other game action.

against Different lifeforms cannot interbreed in spore.

Thanks, but I prefer division myself.  Gametes are overrated. ^^

Also, the random number is not properly defined. 10 is a random number between 1 and 10. When asked to choose a random number between 1 and 10, I can always choose ten. Thus even if one like the concept of this rule, this actual version is flawed.

CoV against ah, yes.  Make key-phrased DICE comments in the GNDT.

Okay, Hix, so you changed your vote from IMP which was clearly AGAINST, to AGAINST. Is there anyone who would vote for this proposal if it were changed in any way? If not, I won’t bother re-proposing it.
