Timed out and enacted, 5-1. Josh

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Tempo:
Whenever a Bogey is Eliminated, Poindexter may create a new DEVA.
Once every 7 days, Poindexter may create a new DEVA. As a weekly action, Poindexter may reduce the number in the previous sentence by one.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

I would strongly prefer that attempting to eliminate DEVAs actually reduce the number of DEVAs.
Josh: he/they
From the current 1? There isn’t much eliminating left in the dynasty, then
Bucky:
hmm…
“Whenever a Bogey is Eliminated, if there are no other Bogeys, Poindexter may create a new DEVA”?
Josh: he/they
So there’s only ever exactly one?
Just seems a bit dull if I’m honest. If that’s what you want them fair enough, to me it seems more interesting if there’s an array of targets.
Josh: he/they
I do accept that this proposal sets out a growth formula though, probably worth making sure there’s a ratchet down to do with the ratchet up.
Coderblaze:
What happens when the number hits 0?
Bucky:
I was thinking both
“Whenever a Bogey is Eliminated, if there are no other Bogeys, Poindexter may create a new DEVA” and
“Once every 7 days, Poindexter may create a new DEVA. As a weekly action, Poindexter may reduce the number in the previous sentence by one.”
Josh: he/they
Yep, that works for me.
@coderblaze Great point - it’s ambiguously a gamestate tracked variable so it can’t go below zero but at zero I can create infinite DEVAs, which is probably bad for you
Bucky:
How about nix the timing requirement of “Whenever a Bogey is Eliminated” and go with:
“If all individual DEVAs have been Eliminated, Poindexter may create a new DEVA.”
Bucky:
CoV
and will propose an amendment later.
