Proposal: The Drama’s Done

Passes 7-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 27 May 2018 16:46:00 UTC

To “Epilogue”, replace “the Narrator shall announce the end of the Story, including the time when it ended,” with :-

the Narrator shall announce the end of the Story, including the time when it ended and the Reckoning of all Sailors at that time

Then add to that rule:-

A Sailor’s Reckoning is the total Worth of all Goals they possess whose Definition criteria they have fulfilled, for the Target (if any) that was specified.

If a single Sailor has the highest Reckoning at the time the Story Ends, that Sailor achieves victory. (If several Sailors are tied for highest Reckoning at that time, the single Sailor among them with the highest Prestige at that time achieves victory.)

Replace “The Prestige of a Sailor is equal to the total of their Health Points, Gold and Lore.” with:-

The Prestige of a Sailor is a non-integer number equal to the total of their Health Points, Gold and Lore, plus one hundredth of their Position’s Authority.

After the list of Positions, add:-

The Authority of a Position is a number equal to the Position’s place in the list, counting upwards from the bottom of it.

If the proposal “Sisyphus” enacted, remove “The Sailor holding the position of Captain is not eligible to claim victory.” from the ruleset and add after the sentence beginning “A Sailor’s Reckoning is the total Worth”:-

The Captain’s Reckoning is always zero, instead.

Plugging a victory condition into the Story’s End, with some very specific tiebreaking.

A Goal’s Worth isn’t dependent on it being fulfilled or not. I suggest changing it to something like:

“A Sailor’s Reckoning is the total Worth of all fulfilled Goals they possess.”

This is a very good point. Fixed.

Also tacking on a clause for Sisyphus passing, as “Captain is not eligible to claim victory” will put us in a bit of a stalemate if the Captain achieves victory but can’t claim it. Better to give the victory to the Sailor in second place.

Still the issue of a lot of roles given by race though…
