Proposal: The Great Movement [Victory]

Couldn’t become popular without a CoV. Failed 1-5 by Kevan.

For each of the valid votes on this proposal that contains the phrase “I’m not ready.”, set the Cell that cast that vote to Unprepared.

For each Cell that is not an Influential Entity, set that Cell to Unprepared.

Add the following to the sub-rule “New World Order” as a new paragraph, underneath the first paragraph and above the second one:

If a Cell is Unprepared, that fact is privately tracked by the Ministry of Information. A Cell which is an Influential Entity may choose to cease being Unprepared at any time by notifying the Ministry of Information that they would like to cease being Unprepared. A Cell may choose to become Unprepared at any time by notifying the Ministry of Information that they would like to become Unprepared.

Add the following to the end of the sub-rule “New World Order”, under a new bullet point:

Renaissance victory: At the end of Cycle 10, roll a DICEX, where X is the sum total of the Notoriety of all Cells with the exception of Unprepared Cells, as posted in the Clatoc Clarion, Cycle 10.  Then, do the following atomic action, which is known as “Evaluating the Cell”, for the first Cell alphabetically that is not unprepared, assuming that M is a variable that defaults to 0 and is privately tracked by the ministry of information, and that N is a variable that is equal to the Notoriety of the Cell that this atomic action is currently being done for:

* If the dice roll is between M and M+N, then make the Cell that is currently being evaluated Great, and the Ministry of Information should then create a post saying which Cell has become Great.

* Otherwise, set M equal to M+N, and repeat the steps of this action for the next Cell alphabetically that is not unprepared.
A Great Cell may achieve victory.

Setting up an end to the dynasty that takes place in about a week. It gives time for everyone to get prepared for it, and make changes if need be. Adding directly to the New World Order rule so that nothing needs to be repealed.

Some stuff to chew on here, but it does have one big issue, which is the line “A Great Cell may achieve victory” - any Cell may achieve Victory, that capability is already endowed in the ruleset. To have an effect, the rule has to specify that they do achieve victory.

Alright. Just thought I’d throw the concept out there. Just one thing to say in my defense: I knew that it likely wouldn’t get any feedback within the edit period, so in addition to the other reasons that’s why I put so long of a timer on it- so that if I did goof something up there’s plenty of time to throw up another proposal or a cfj to fix it.

If nothing else all this gives is a good framework to go off of.
