Proposal: Told you it was a piece of junk.

Times out and Fails 1-3 - lilomar

Adminned at 30 Jun 2010 09:04:57 UTC

Change rule 2.13 to read:

There is an item called the Amulet of Yendor. There is an item called the Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendor. There is an item called the REAL Amulet of Yendor.

Amulet of Yendors each have a Dungeon Level. If an Amulet of Yendor is in the inventory of an @, then the Dungeon Level of that Amulet of Yendor is the same as the Dungeon Level of that @. If an Amulet of Yendor exists, but is not in the inventory of an @, then the Dungeon Level of that Amulet of Yendor is tracked in the RNG Row in the GNDT (Multiple Amulets tracked in such a way should have their Dungeon Levels separated by slashes.)

While an Amulet of Yendor is in an @‘s Inventory, if that @ Dies as a result of Fighting another @ or another @ Fighting them, that other @ has the Amulet of Yendor added to their Inventory.

If no @ has the same Dungeon Level as an Amulet of Yendor, and that Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level is greater than 1, and that Amulet of Yendor has had the same Dungeon Level for the previous 48 hours and since the start of the week, any @ may decrease that Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level by 1.

If there is exactly one Amulet of Yendor, and if an @ has that Amulet of Yendor in their inventory, and there are no Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendors in existence, then a second Amulet of Yendor is created on the Dungeon Level the first is currently on. If there are ever more than two Amulet of Yendors in existence, the most recently created Amulet immediately ceases to exist. If there is ever less than one Amulet of Yendor in existence, and there are no REAL Amulet of Yendors in existence, then an Amulet of Yendor is created on Dungeon Level 10.

If there is ever a REAL Amulet of Yendor in existence, all Amulet of Yendors are changed to Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendors. If there is ever more than one REAL Amulet of Yendor in existence, the most recently created REAL Amulet of Yendor becomes a Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendor.

An @ or RNG may Recognize an Amulet of Yendor when this rule explicitly permits it. To do so, they roll DICE2. If the result is 1, then that Amulet of Yendor becomes a REAL Amulet of Yendor.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, then they may Recognize that Amulet of Yendor.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have a REAL Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they achieve victory.

Change rule 2.6 to read:

Each @ has a number called Dungeon Level (tracked in the GNDT), defaulting to 1. As a daily action, an @ may attempt to Find the Stairs; to do this, they roll DICE6 in the GNDT. The attempt is successful if that @‘s Kills is equal or higher than the result of that die roll. If the attempt is successful they must either increase or decrease their Dungeon Level by 1. If their Dungeon Level is equal to that of an Amulet of Yendor which is not in an @‘s Inventory, they may, instead of changing their Dungeon Level, add that Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory.

On any successful attempt to find the Stairs, an @ decreases their Kills to 0.


If at least a simple majority of EVCs to this proposal contain the phrase “make tourists useful”, then add the following sentence to the penultimate paragraph of rule 2.13:

If an @ has an expensive camera in their inventory, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, then they may Recognize that Amulet of Yendor.

 

Ok, here is the clean version. Don’t forget to mention your support of tourists, if applicable.

against .  I think this would slow down the dynasty too much.  There’s a 50-50 chance of randomly extending it for a week or two after it should have been over.
