Proposal: Three patches

Self-killed. -Ornithopter

Adminned at 15 Dec 2009 01:37:11 UTC

NO COMMENTS, PLEASE. DOING A QUICK EDIT.

To avoid constantly having to expand the list of things the Djinni is unable to do when not granting a wish, remove the first bulleted list of Rule 2.2 “Wish Fulfillment” and replace the last two sentences of the first paragraph with

Except where stated otherwise, the Djinni may only alter gamestate when fulfilling wishes or in ways allowed by the Core Rules.

—-

Change the sentence in Rule 2.4 “Djinni in a lamp, baby” beginning “If anything causes the Djinn to be inside the Lamp…” to read

If the Djinni has continuously been inside the lamp for the last 24 hours, the Djinni or any Adventurer may release the Djinni from the lamp.

If Proposal: Release passes, add “for no reward” to the end of the replacement sentence.

—-

Replace “(but not in all cases)” in the last paragraph of Rule 2.2 “Wish Fulfillment” with “(but not necessarily all cases)”.

against To the first part. The Djinn is only allowed to do certain things. He may not, for instance, affect corruption or change certain parts of gamestate. I’d rather have a list of things the Djinn CAN do than a list of what he cannot. And there are some important distinctions there, like a wush not being able to undo actions fom a monht in the past.

Aaaaand now it says “no comments, please” forever. I was worried that might happen.

SOrry! I made the comment before said edit was made (or at least I opened the window before it was said).

Out of curiosity, what was the edit?

Wak: Good catch on the undoing time limit. And don’t worry about your comment timing. I was just gonna add in the patch Alethiophile mentioned on Proposal: Release.

There isn’t a list of things the Djinni can do, though. There’s a list of things he can’t do,which stayed intact under this proposal. And there’s a list of things he can only do when someone wishes for it, which can be rephrased and added to the list of can’t-dos without much difficulty.

A comprehensive list of things you can wish for is limiting. I’d much rather have a list of things you can’t wish for.

Ienpw III: What’s wrong with the second point? I thought it was inoffensive.

Because I think it should be a challenge.

The genie is already removed from the lamp after 24 hours, this just provides a mechanism for it, and the small text under the addition says you can’t get more wishes this way.
