Proposal: Tragicomedy

Timed out 3 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 22 Jan 2018 14:36:16 UTC

Add to the Ruleset a rule called “Social” with the following:

Each Resident has a Stance with each other Resident, defaulting to “Neutral”. Stances are all tracked on the Residents wikipage. At-will, a Resident can change their Stance with another Resident to another, if their former Stance was “Neutral”. The Stances possible (and their effects, if any) are the following:

- Neutral:
- Trusting: The Resident you are Trusting towards may transfer Supplies from you to themselves.
- Suspicious: The Resident you are Suspicious towards may not transfer to you Supplies.
- Romantic: The Resident you are Romantic towards may use your Alertness value instead of their own, for the purpose of other mechanics which require a certain Alertness value.
- Violent: The Resident you are Violent towards cannot change their Stance towards you to be anything else than also Violent.

I think it would be really cool to see a web of commerce of a sort and relationships grow organically.

Nice idea. Did you forget to specify this as a GNDT column, though?

(And I’m not sure “not needing to be tracked” is the right way to word the default. All game data has to be tracked.)

Woops. Fixed.

Might get too huge as a GNDT column, so, did wikipage instead.

Why the change of mind?

with only a 3 minute delay, I believe Axemabaro simply did the wrong vote at first. not sure about the second one though

Ah, good point.

Real-time trading and Alertness adjusting probably isn’t great, here, mind. (If a crate drops with two amazing things in it, everyone should rush to persuade the most Alert player to become Romantic towards them.) Maybe we need a generic keyword for actions which can only be taken when there’s no active crate.
