Proposal: The Modus Ponens Repostus

Timed out 6-0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 15 Jul 2006 22:50:36 UTC

I propose the following rule “The Modus Ponens”

All subrules to this rule are in the following format:
Title
Requirements: Description
Action:  Description

The subrule’s Requirements describe a set of game events and / or gamestates.  Often, a Traveller may pick a subrule, and carry out that subrule’s Action.  A traveller may only carry out that subrule’s Action if that subrule’s requirements are true.  When a Traveller performs an Action, e must post a weblog entry explaining eir Action and state how the requirements were all fulfilled.

Example:
Fake Title
Requirements: Traveller is named Kaddar
Action: Traveller may increase another Traveller’s influence by 1

The purpose of this ruleset is to provide a framework for proposing fun game actions based on requirements, but that players may only perform one of any of these game actions per a day so that we are not flooded with minor game changes.

When describing requirements based on game events (like changing your formula), be clear on how long ago the game event may have occured, otherwise players may argue that the event occured 3 days ago, and so they may still apply it.  For example, if a requirement is: Traveller travelled to TL: 1/1/1, then if a player has ever travelled to 1/1/1, he may do the action.  I’ll leave it to you all to pick the wording for subrules.

for Good call. Might be worth dragging some existing mechanics into this format, as well; the current overlap of things you can do in a given time period is a bit unwieldy.
