Does the “No Cooperation” building block apply to idle Seekers?

Also, I think there should be a minimum number of voters. A single FOR vote shouldn’t count.

We’ve dabbled with idle engagement mechanics before but I can’t think of any of them having actually attracted any interest from idle players.

This mechanic is at least trivial to explain to idle players, that they can just put a tick on the photos that they like. Our previous idle action mechanic was a fun idea but probably a bit too complex for onlookers.

On the numbers I’d be happy with even a single player stepping up as resident critic, really.

Can you adapt this to work even if Josh’s proposal passes? I think overall I like this more than Josh’s version but I don’t want to vote Josh’s down hoping this one passes

oh I didn’t realize this was only idle ones so I guess its tangential to Josh’s mechanic.

I do that this also needs a clause making it clear that no cooperation applies. Want it to be a fun little thing idle people can vote on, and not a “hey come vote for me cause you’re my buddy”

Done.

Done on the first, that is. Would seem redundant to have both “win 2-10 points per nice photo (as judged by peers)” and “win 5 points per nice photo (as judged by idle players)” in the ruleset.

I’d also like a “no cooperation” clause added for idle Seekers.

It looks like that probably won’t happen in time, though. I’m out of Proposal slots, so maybe Clucky would be kind enough to use one to add such a clause to this.

It sounds we need to clarify what “Seekers are expected to avoid co-operating to achieve Victory” means in the No Cooperation Building Block, if we aren’t sure whether it would apply to an active Seeker co-operating with an idle one (or with a person who isn’t a player at all).

Outside of this proposal, I can ask an idle player to take a photo for me under the current ruleset, and depending on how you read No Cooperation that’s either fine or it will lose me the game.

Tepid , willing to change it if there’s evidence of interest from idle

Hardening that on this comment https://discord.com/channels/872395362336395324/872594105090310264/1225197465418989679

I think the idea of pulling in idle seekers is interesting, but it does make it tough to draw the line on “no cooperation”

having a friend take a photo for you seemed to fall within the original spirit of the dynasty, without violating the no cooperation rule.

But I think having friends vote for your photos feels against no cooperation. Meaning we’d need to draw a line on what sort of outside help is and isn’t allowed…

I’m convinced. We have the cart before the horse. Let’s solidify No Cooperation with regards to idle Seekers first, then we could try this sort of idea again.
