If “Wizards are Wild” has not passed this proposal does nothing.
Append to the rule “Cards”
Any text contained under the heading “List of Cards” is not considered normal ruleset text and should not be normally followed as such unless a different rule directs you to follow it in that way.
Append to the rule “Cards”
Wizards other than the Historian may not draw cards.
Wizards other than the Historian may not play cards.
Make a subrule “Start Drawing” of Cards under the heading “List of Cards” with the text
score: 0
constraint: may be played when the Historian feels that the drawing mechanic is acceptable for play.
Up Effect: remove the text “Wizards other than the Historian may not draw cards.” from the ruleset. Also remove this card from the ruleset.
Down Effect: remove the text “Wizards other than the Historian may not draw cards.” from the ruleset. Also remove this card from the ruleset.
Make a subrule “Start Playing” of Cards under the heading “List of Cards” with the text
score: 0
constraint: may be played when the Historian feels that the cards and mechanics for making new cards are balanced enough to start play with them.
Up Effect: remove the text “Wizards other than the Historian may not play cards.” from the ruleset. Also remove this card from the ruleset.
Down Effect: remove the text “Wizards other than the Historian may not play cards.” from the ruleset. Also remove this card from the ruleset.
Append to the rule “Cards”
In a proposal, the shorthand (which ignores capitalization)
“add the following card to the ruleset:
title: X
score: Y
constraint: Z
up effect: W
down effect: V”
where the parameters are the fields to their left, stands for the text
‘Make a subrule “X” of Cards under the heading “List of Cards” with the textscore: Y
constraint: Z
up effect: W
down effect: V‘
Add the cards Start Drawing and Start Playing to derrick’s hand.
a few different things.
1. makes clear that the cards in the ruleset are not rule text and shouldn’t be followed that way unless they’re played.
2. stop Wizards other than the Historian from interacting with cards until the Historian feels that the rules are error free enough
3. makes a shortened and readable way of adding cards to the ruleset
It’s either an oversight or an amazing scam flourish that the player named card is reminding us all about the player-name ruletext rule (which actually doesn’t apply to proposals, only the ruleset) while proposing to exempt card effects from being considered ruletext.
9spaceking:
well, “1” is pretty nice to differentiate card rules and actual rules, but rule 2 is pointless, you can just say “wizards cannot draw or play cards until Historian says otherwise. If the historian states wizards cannot draw or play cards, the statement goes into effect immediately.” instead of the complicated madness you have here
