Proposal: Time Vacations

Vetoed.

Adminned at 12 Jul 2006 13:29:42 UTC

Add a new Dynastic Rule to the Ruleset called “Time Vacations”.  Give it the following text:

If a Traveller has 10 influence, they may decrease their influence by 10 to purchase a ticket (GNDT tracked) to any vacationable TL.  A vacationable TL must not contain a Perilous Node Event, and must not be before the year -15000 or after the year 6000. While they have this ticket, they may change eir TL to eir ticket TL, or to 2235/8/14.  When a traveller travels to 2235/8/14, they must remove all eir tickets.  Travellers must announce in the weblog whenever their ticket value changes.

And add a new subrule to the “The Laws of time”

Restrictions on Time Vacations
Travellers may not modify any node event if they have a ticket.

When this proposal passes, create a Node Event in the time line at 2235/8/14 with the description: “Warner TimeTravel Agency TimePort accepting incoming Travellers” with the tags:
[Perilous],[Time Travel],[TimePort]


Also note the interaction with companions before voting.

I feel like this is implied, but to further detail: a ticket column in the GNDT would have a list of one or more TLs.  So if you buy a ticket, you append a ticket to your column’s list and post to the weblog.  If you travel to 2235/8/14, you post to the weblog you completed your vacations and set your ticket list to be empty.

Unfortunately, a Traveller could get all possible tickets as soon as this is Enacted by joining/quitting the PRC.  This is a good idea, but veto because of the game-breaking synergy.  Once we’ve sorted out the proper way to deal with the bonus for joining/quitting, this Proposal would probably be fine in its current form.  If you’re eager to repropose, the cost of a ticket would have to change (either to a greater amount of Influence, or something else entirely).
