Proposal: Stratification

Add a new Dynastic Rule called “Departments” with the following text:

A Department has the following publicly tracked properties:

• Name (a flavor text string)

• Quota (an integer with a default value of 10)

• Innies (a list of Innies currently assigned to the Department)

The names of the Departments are:

• Index Correlation
• Redacted

• Temporal Assurance

• Lexical Adjustment

When a new Innie joins the game, the Board must assign them to the Department with the fewest current members, choosing randomly among the tied options if necessary.

As a weekly action, the Board may perform a Reassignment Action by swapping the Department assignments of any two Innies who are currently assigned to different Departments. To do so, the Board must make a Story Post titled “Reassignment Notice: [Innie A] ⇄ [Innie B]”, where Innie A and Innie B are the names of the two Innies being swapped, and must list their new Department assignments.

For each Innie that is not assigned to a Department, assign that Innie to the Department with the fewest current members, choosing randomly among the tied options if necessary.

How do players that are already in the game get assigned to Departments, if the assignment only occurs upon joining the game?

(note that these proposals are currently illegal because they were performed during the interregum and effect dynastic rules. but if ESE wants we can probably uphold via CfJ. Or they can just repost)

Proposals can be submitted during the interregnum, can’t they?
And the enactment will take place after the reset.

Proposals cannot be made during Hiatus, and Interregnum is a Hiatus. It has the following exception:

Additionally, Proposals may be submitted and resolved as normal, provided that they only have the effect of amending the non-dynastic ruleset and/or the Building Blocks page.

Which is why the other proposals made are legal. But this technically is not

I assume we should mark these Illegal, resolve them, and let Error repost them with the newly-opened slots?

Nah, we can just uphold by CfJ, this has happened before.

I suppose so… ESE has updated the dynasty number but has’t archived the rules, which has to come first. Is he trying to perform a dynastic reset?

If this has happened before, there should be a core change. I’ll work on that. Is Chiiika trying to perform a dynastic reset now, before the 4 hours have passed?

There’s some bumbling around happening on discord. Too many cooks. It’ll sort itself out in an hour or so.

I agree that there should be a core change, probably liberalising perhaps happening while the reset is still in progress.

Some admin should set these to illegal until a CFJ passes.
