Proposal: The Fourth Estate

Can’t enact with 6 votes against. Failed 4-6 by Kevan.

Adminned at 26 Oct 2012 02:11:26 UTC

Add a dynastic rule entitled “Editorials” with text as follows:

As an XXX action, any Editor may publish an Editorial with respect to any Subject with respect to which that Editor’s Newspaper has a Stance.  To publish an Editorial, the Editor posts “DICE20 YYY” in the GNDT, replacing “YYY” with a statement of the Subject of the Editorial and of the Newspaper’s Stance on that Subject (for example, DICE20 Anti-Royalty).  If the Newspaper’s Stance is “Pro”, an amount shall be added to the Public Opinion for that Subject equal to (i) the outcome of the dice roll, plus (ii) the sum of all of the Newspaper’s Reputation scores; plus (iii) negative five (but not to a value more than 100), and if the Newspaper’s Stance is “Anti”, an amount shall be subtracted from the Public Opinion for that Subject equal to (i) the outcome of the dice roll, plus (ii) the sum of all of the Newspaper’s Reputation scores; plus (iii) negative five (but not to a value less than -100).  For example, if an Editor with an Anti-Royalty stance and Reputation scores summing to 2 publishes an Editorial by posting “DICE20 Anti-Royalty” and the outcome of the dice roll is 15, the Public Opinion with respect to Royalty shall be decreased by (15+2-5), or a decrease of 12 (but not to a value less than -100). An Editor may post a blog post detailing the Editorial’s gamestate effect together with any desired flavor text.

Replace XXX with “weekly” unless more than half of the EVCs to this Proposal contain the world “daily”, in which case replace XXX with “daily”.

against Weekly. Voting against because I would hate to see this as a daily action.

against Because I’m against d**** actions. Interestingly, Josh’s EVC would be counted as in favour of d**** editorials!
