Proposal: The Status Line

Vetoed procedurally -Darth

Enact a new rule entitled “Status” reading:

Each player has a Status Line, tracked in the GDNT. A Status Line is a list of zero or more of the following: Hallu, Hungry, Hungry!, Starving, Blind, Slime, Conf, or Stun. Hungry, Hungry!, and Starving are mutually exclusive.

If a player’s Status Line includes Hallu, that player is hallucinating. Likewise for Hungry and hungry, Hungry! and really hungry, Starving and starving, Blind and blind, Slime and slimed, Conf and confused, and Stun and stunned.

I wanted to implement hallucination, but decided to go for a full NetHack status instead, just for fun. I didn’t put some of the lethal ones in because they’re boring, but slime is cool. Also no encumberance. Things that are missing could be added later.

I do intend to implement at least hallucination if this passes, and probably even if it doesn’t.

against Self-kill; I forgot to close the blockquote.

You do know you’re allowed to edit the contents of a proposal between posting and first comment, right?

There is no rule regarding editing of official posts, so I assumed therefore that editing was not permitted, since the only other reasonable implication (that it is always permitted) would break the game.

@coppro: “If no @ has commented on it, an official post may be altered or removed by its author; otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the Ruleset.” from rule 1.7 allows you to edit official posts. (Until there are comments on them.) There are some other restrictions on it too (mostly, no changing the categories past the first fifteen minutes). “Hungry!” should be “Weak”, btw, for consistency with NetHack.
