Proposal: The Stars In Our Stars

Withdrawn. Josh

Adminned at 07 Jun 2023 09:26:12 UTC

In the rule Avatars, immediately before the text “a home Tier”, add:

a star sign (which must be a valid value based on the Tiers equal to or lower than that Avatar’s Home Tier)

Add the following to the body of each Tier Rule (except for the one labelled Tier 9):

The available Star Signs in this Tier are:

And then for each Tier Rule according to number add the following immediately after:

1: Leonis (The Lion), Ursida (The Bear),
2: Serpenta (The Serpent), Felina (The Cat),
3: Lupis (The Wolf)
4: Panthera (The Panther)
5: Draco (The Dragon), Equinus (The Horse)
6: Avis (The Bird), Canis (The Dog)
7: Corvus (The Crow), Cetus (The Whale), Aquilus (The Eagle)
8: Lynx (The Lynx), Apis (The Bee), Delphina (The Dolphin)

Amend the rule Skywriting to read as follows:

As a weekly action, a Mindjacker may privately message the Ascendant an instruction to generate a specific Portent from the prompt “The stars are (x)”, where (x) is a Star Sign that that Mindjacker has access to based on their Level. The Ascendant shall, as soon as is practical after receiving the message, generate a Portent of the form “(name) was incongruous under the stars of (x)”, where (name) is the full name of an Avatar whose Occupancy Tier is the Tier with which star sign (x) is associated and whose star sign is not (x), if possible and if it does not duplicate an existing Portent (otherwise they do nothing).

Fixing my bugged star sign proposal from earlier.

By the full name of an Avatar, you mean the Symbol Name?

Yes

I think giving out a guaranteed-accurate full name AND the occupancy tier at one time is too much. I wouldn’t want the Mindjacking to simply go to whoever’s online when the Observatory Report drops.

  against per Bucky, though this would be interesting if we’re also required to guess the star sign of the Avatar in a Mindjacking.

against i really like the flavour here, but i’m puzzled by how this is supposed to fit into the mechanics. portents are revealed publicly, so this would just make it a race to mindjack the named avatar!
