Proposal: The Key to Time

S-K.—Chronos

Adminned at 18 Jul 2006 17:15:18 UTC

Add a subrule to Rule 2.6 (“The Timeline”), called “The Grand Scheme”:-

If a Node Event has a Traveller’s name as one of its keywords, then the Event has been engineered to benefit that Traveller - perhaps the Traveller has stolen a valuable object from that day, or has made some change of subtle or sentimental importance.

A Traveller’s name may only be added as a keyword by that Traveller themselves, and may only be added as a Trigger Event, not as a side effect.

If a Traveller’s name ever appears as the keyword for exactly seven separate Node Events, then they have shown their worth in manipulating the Timeline (or have saved the world, or destroyed it) and may declare Victory.

(A new Traveller may not choose an existing keyword as their name.)

By these rules, a player will get win by going to the first italy entry and messing with it before this proposal passes.  If it had removed any keywords with player’s name prior to coming into effect, then it wouldn’t have this problem.

I suppose I am not quite ready for a victory condition that is clearly able to be met.  In addition this will trigger a “race to the past” where everyone will need to head further and further backwards in time to get behind anyone who could remove thier name from events by side effect.

against Good call from Kaddar. Self-kill.

veto Let’s see how many “this Proposal fails” criteria we can meet.
