Proposal: SUPER. HOT.

reached quorum 6-0; adminned. -Chiiika

Adminned at 02 Jun 2023 00:27:54 UTC

If Proposal: Level Knevel was not enacted then this proposal has no effect.

Add a new dynastic rule, titled “Tier 1: Potency”:

When a Mindjacker carries out a dynastic action associated with a Tier equal to or lower than their current Level, that Mindjacker has a Potency for that action which is equal to 1 plus the difference between the Mindjacker’s Level and the action’s associated Tier.

Any dynastic action that is performed by a Mindjacker with a Potency greater than 1 is a Potent action. Any dynastic action that is not Potent is a Baseline action.

for one universal simulation to fit inside of another, the lower-order reality has to run at a slower speed and/or sacrifice complexity. higher-order beings can exploit this to think faster, know more, or manipulate the simulation itself; whatever the case, they’re simply able to do more things better than the native inhabitants of the lower-order reality they’re operating in.
the idea here is that some Tiers will have actions where the outcome depends on the potency value of the mindjacker performing them!

Nice, I like this. Should probably be Tier 2, though, minimum, as it wouldn’t “unlock” at the lowest level of reality.

it was tier 2 in my initial draft, but then i realised we might want a tier 1 action that cares about potency (even if that potency is just 1).

“dynastic action associated with a Tier“ - I’m a bit uncomfortable with this wording. It might be better to make explicit what it means if for an action to be associated with a Tier if the action involves rules with different Tiers.

i didn’t coin that wording, summai — it’s present in “Yanking” which is already in the ruleset!

Note to whoever enacts this, I seem to have accidentally voted on this twice.
