Proposal: The Princess Awaits (in the past)

Create a new rule “Time Manipulation”:

As a weekly action, a Tourist may spend 1 shine sprite to Rewind Time. To do so, that Tourist (known as The Scientist) shall make a comment in the GNDT of “Rewinding”, then immediately reverts all gamestate changes that resulted from all actions, excluding Time Immune actions, that have taken place exactly during the last 60 minutes right before the timestamp shown by the last “Rewinding” comment made in the GNDT. All Shine sprites spent by the Scientist for Rewinding Time are added to the shine sprites owned by the Tour Guide.

All actions defined by Core Rules are Time Immune Actions (for example, creating Proposals, Calls for Judgment, enacting Proposals, etc). Spending shine sprites is a Time Immune action (that is, no gamestate effects that result from spending shine sprites may be rewound). Actions taken by The Princess are always Time Immune actions.

Sometimes we will need a little magic to escape from the unavoidable grasp of The Princess… wait, don’t we wanna find her? Why are we escaping? It all seems backwards…

cool mechanic, not totally sure how it works and so need to clarifiy.

I revert time at 0:00. Gamestate in the GNDT is refreshed to 23:00:00.

You revert time at 0:30. Gamestate in the GNDT is refreshed to what it was at 23:30:00, but I don’t get my shine Sprite back?

The only way I can see this staying sane is if you just reset the GNDT to the values it had one hour previously. All daily actions and what now still counted. Otherwise it’ll be confusing to implement and confusing to keep track of.
