Proposal: The Field is White, All Ready to Harvest…

Timed out, 3-0 with 1 DEF. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 18 Jan 2024 22:51:57 UTC

Create a new rule called “Harvest Moon,” which reads:

There is a publicly tracked Phase of the Moon, which can be one of Waxing, Full, Waning, and New, defaulting to Full.

The Rite of Harvest is an action whose effects depend on the Phase of the Moon:

Waxing - Decrease each Necromancer’s Lifeforce by 1.
Full - Increase each Necromancer’s Cheese by 1.
Waning - Increase Sharpness by 1.
Full - Perform the Death Toll atomic action.

Immediately following the step “Perform the Death Toll atomic action” in the Hourglass, add the following step:

*Perform the Rite of Harvest action, then set the Phase of the Moon to one of the other values at random.

A possible alternate way to speed up the ending.

leaving it up to JD’s choice seems odd. Maybe make it a random choice? Also I’d turn Waxing into a decrease, just so we always progress towards and ending

Agreed, I’d rather not choose whether or not to change the Phase. I prefer to stay as unbiased as possible.

Just make it part of the Rite of Harvest to randomly select the Phase.

I made it Emperor’s choice in case he forgot or didn’t want to bother interacting with the mechanic, but the changes have been made.

Doesn’t Full result in a infinite loop?

No, because the Rite of Harvest isn’t part of the Death Toll atomic action. It’s part of the Sands of the Hourglass atomic action. So, on Full Moon phase, you get two Death Tolls during the Sands of the Hourglass.

Can’t believe I missed that. The last Full is supposed to be New. Oh well; at least it doesn’t break the proposal completely

@naught: if you want to post a follow-up Proposal to fix that, please do. It looks like this one will pass.

Once my slots clear I will. I was meaning to get rid of the Dimension Door card this block anyway
