Proposal: The monster are coming again!

7-0. Reached Quorum.

Adminned at 08 Dec 2006 10:10:47 UTC

Create a new rule, enitiltled “Monsters”, with the following text:

There can be any whole number of Monsters outside the campus.  This is listed under the Thirst column in the Monster row. Whenever a student decreases eir own thirst, a new monster arrives outside the campus.

Any student may often make a comment of “Fight DICEX” in the GNDT, where X is the number of Monsters. This is considered a Strenuous activity. If the result of the roll is a 1, the number of monsters outside decreases by 1. Otherwise nothing happens.

Whenever the number of Monsters changes, if there are more Monsters than the number of non-Lost Students, then all Students lose Sanity equal to the number of Monsters.

Create a new row in the GNDT entitled Monsters. Set it’s Thirst column to 0.

Add the following to the list of Strenous activities:

* Making a comment of “Fight DICEX”.

against ‘monsters’ sounds too hammer house of horrors. Were the word replaced by something more Lovecrafty (eg Shoggoths, Mi-go etc_ then I would be in favour

Well, I started out with “Colour affected zombielike creature” but that was way too long, so I shortened it to Zombie, but that sounded too horror-movieish, so it became horror which became monster. Just

—think of them as a rag-tag band of shoggoth, fungi, deep ones, et cetera.

At first glance I read that as a rag-time band, which is how I will think of the monsters from now on.
