Proposal: The Book of Olds

Times out 5-1. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 06 Dec 2021 20:35:05 UTC

If there is a rule entitled “Luminance” then add a subrule to that rule entitled “Illumination” as follows:

If a past Dynasty listed in the Dynastic History on the BlogNomic Wiki (as of November 30th, 2021) has, on its respective history page, an empty or stubbed list of Posts of Interest, that Dynasty is known as a Shadow Dynasty.

If a Soul completes the Posts of Interest section of a Shadow Dynasty’s history page on the BlogNomic Wiki with significant relevant information that is accurate to the best of their understanding, that Dynasty ceases to be a Shadow Dynasty; this action is called an Illumination. Once per Illumination, at its time of completion, the Soul who performed it may simultaneously add that Dynasty’s name to their Gates and increase their Luminance by 3. The restriction on adding Dynasties to one’s Gates based on Stratum do not apply to this addition.

If the Dark One feels that an Illumination was undertaken with poor effort or in bad faith, then the Dark One may revert the resulting changes to a Soul’s Gates and Luminance.

hang on a second! this is an illegal proposal, as the Dark One is not allowed to make proposals according to this line in the core rules:
“Any Soul may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate, by posting an entry in the “Proposal” category that describes those changes (unless the Soul already has 2 Proposals pending, has already made 3 Proposals that day, or is the Dark One).”

Book of Olds appears to be legal, I think, as the ruleset didn’t say that when this proposal was posted (that ruleset edit was made at 19:26, 4 December 2021‎ . Escalator of Legitimacy, however, isn’t.

against someone with a few hours to kill and nothing better to do can sweep up a whole bunch of dynasties this way..

[redtara] True, but there’s no guaranteed in-game benefit to doing so (Luminance might never have any effect), and a player doing so in a deliberately lazy way can expect consequences.
