Proposal: The Wheel of Time
Add the following as a new rule, called Life Stages:
Each Seeker occupies a Life Stage, which is publicly tracked and should be kept up to date by the Seeker in question.
For the first week after joining the dynasty for the first time, a Seeker is in the Juvenile Life Stage.
In the second and third weeks after joining the dynasty for the first time, a Seeker is in the Adult Life Stage.
In the fourth and all subsequent weeks after joining the dynasty for the first time, a Seeker is in the Geriatric Life Stage.
If there is a rule called Vocations, add the following as a subrule to it, called Vocations by Life Stage:
When a Seeker is in the Juvenile Life Stage, they may freely add Hobbies up to the maximum number of Vocations that they may have.
When a Seeker is in the Adult Life Stage they may once carry out the Get A Job Action, which allows them to remove one Hobby and replace it with a Job, provided that that Job is either Correlated or Strongly Correlated with a Resource with which the Hobby being replaced is also Correlated.
When a Seeker is in the Geriatric Life Stage they my not have any Job Vocations and may not change their Hobby Vocations.
ais523: Custodian
This might be a bit strange with respect to players who join mid-dynasty, although I’m not necessarily sure it will give them a significant disadvantage (and may even be an advantage), so it’s probably OK.
I also have some concerns about the “tracking cost” of this – it’s an extra tracker column that Seekers need to remember to update and that takes up space on the page.
As such, I’m currently planning to vote deferential (effectively abstaining) once this is out of edit window.
