Proposal: The Real Program

Fewer than a quorum not voting against. Failed 2-4 by Kevan.

Adminned at 29 Sep 2018 09:26:18 UTC

Add the following rule to the ruleset, titled “Programming”:

Each Program has a 10x10 grid named after him or herself, [”???‘s Grid”], where “???” represents the Program’s name. Originally the center has four “x” in a 2-by-2 formation representing the “Program Core”, which, if destroyed, disables the program and prevents dynastic actions until the core is repaired. A program core begins at 10 health and is destroyed at 0 health. (Starting base picture: http://prntscr.com/kzig9w) Each Program is tracked in wiki page that may be publicly viewed, but only changed by the Program owning the grid, or the emperor of the current dynasty (“Flynn”).

for Just a few clarifying questions: Does tracking a Program imply tracking their health? And where will the wiki go?

almost there, it need some work. I think it’s worth passing if people like the general idea. Need to remove the Orphan variable and possibly allow editing by other people as directed by the rules.

against Still too much vagueness here. A destroyed core preventing all “dynastic actions” (not just that player’s) seems a bit much. And if I voluntarily blank the Xs from my grid, does that count as destroying my core?

sorry, I meant to say “player’s dynastic actions”, you’re right.

Tracking wiki-page grids is cumbersome. I remember the sea creature dynasty.

Having both 10 (untracked) health and the 4 x’s is a little confusing.
