BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Get rid of Banish, eeesh!

(self-vote to register my opinions)
dislike: Reflex (it stacks with Rage or Wrath), Volcano
unbalanced: Pantheon (+10 City Worship), Lighting (+8 City Might), Fog (+15 Global Might), Windstorm (+20 Global Might)

dang, i liked that one, Truman.

Dislike: Reflex
Unbalanced: Phenomenon (+25 Global Worship), Universal (+3 Global Worship), Transmorphing (+10 Global Might), Lightning (+12 City Might), Fog (+20 Global Might), Windstorm (+25 Global Might).

Unbalanced: Pantheon (+10 City Worship), Lighting (+8 City Might), Fog (+15 Global Might), Windstorm (+20 Global Might)

awoops.  Make that ‘Phenomenon (+35 Global Worship)’. with the rest the same.

Dislike: Reflex, Phenomenon, Awe, Hinder, Fog, Windstorm.

Also: I don’t see what’s wrong with reflex.  It looks to me like its trigger _may_ but doesn’t always stack with the trigger for wrath/rage.  If one of your temples is destroyed by a flood, for example, you could use a power with wrath, but one with reflex is not necesarily usable, because flood targets the city, not your temple.

Dislike: Banish (in this proposal), Awe, Hinder (effects never expire)

I don’t like the random method of editing Might in previously created Powers.  Make that a seperate proposal with definite values.

Yes, I forgot to mention: that was my primary reason for voting   .  I actually think most of the proposed components are good, but don’t think that things like this should be able to be done.

Unbalanced:  Lightning (+3456 City Might)

(Yes, I intend that to be a statement that I find lightning unbalanced, with suggested might cost parenthetically listed)

TC & Hix, I know what you mean. I admit I’m fascinated by split votes - it is often a very sneaky way to push through an agenda. In this case, I’m just trying to do too much with one proposal slot.

I find every power unbalenced, and their new Worship/Might cost should be 0, thus casing chaos and insanity in the universe.

you should be playing Loki!

This proposal seriously must not pass.  Anyone can swoop in at the 11th hour and drastically change what all of your “For” votes are voting for.  Especially since I will now agree with Rodney that:

Unbalanced: All components.  Suggested new worship/might costs: zero

I don’t understand Rodney and Hix’s desire to unbalance the unbalancing.  The levels won’t hit zero due to averaging and we’ll just have a general lowering of Worship to Might across the board - making little net change. I was hoping to get player’s real opinions about the powers, sigh.

  Change of vote, not wanting to wake up and find that someone proposed infinite costs for everything. Maybe it’d be better to make a rule that gave a mechanism for affecting component costs.

And mm, disliking Reflex because the Wrathlike components all do vaguely the same thing and it’s not easy to remember which is which, it’s not particularly interesting to distinguish them. We should merge them all into one.

I don’t think this (i.e. the voting booth for a completely different proposal about adding a few good components) is the place to get players’ opinions about unrelated rules in a way that will change them.  I would like to vote for adding Eclipse, Omen, and so on; but I cannot do so without also voting to approve the changes that any 3 people may decide to introduce _after I make my “for” vote.

There is a possibility of someone making +1,000,000,000 worship for Sign, and then everyone jumps to make a billion temples each. However, since components are available to everyone, and a wildly abusive power does not move anyone toward a victory condition, I didn’t think people would be unreasonable with these votes.

moreover, a victory condition that /doesn’t exist yet/.

This briefly hit quorum, interestingly enough.

Oh, no it didn’t.  ignore me.

self-kill. I’m giving up on it.
