Proposal: Trend Setters

Withdrawn. Failed by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 21 Oct 2023 20:25:37 UTC

In the subrule “Attire”, replace the entire text of that subrule with the following:

Inputs: A Style for each of Hat, Robes, Staff and Beard other than “None” for each
Effect: Set this Wizard’s Hat, Robes, Staff and Beard to match the chosen Style for each.

Adding some incentives for using the Attire spell, with extra incentive for going for unique styles to keep the fashion trends dynamic.

Making it simpler per the observation that it’s too disadvantageous to have to use Attire 4 times to change all of the Styles.

Clucky, if tracking this becomes a headache, I’m happy to whip up a Google Sheet that you can copy and use for fashion tracking.

Eh why not just give everyone a star when they cast attire?

Plus there are already other advantages for trying to go unique, so not sure why people need other incentives for that.

I thought about that, and was trying to give people more options on what to choose. However, I’m often trying to make things more complicated than they need to be, so I’m willing to change this to a simple “and gains 1 Star”. I’ll give it a little more time before making the change to see how other folks feel.

What if we just let Attire change more than one Style at a time? The idea of needing to waste four Duels on just setting my equipment was the motivation behind Free Hats! and Free Hats!!.

Much simpler fix, thanks Brendan! I re-wrote the Proposal to do just that. No Stars awarded, as the ability to set all Styles at the same time makes it easier to get Trendy or Unique, which has its own rewards through other mechanisms.

against was fine with the original version but changing everything at once I feel makes it too easy to align on stuff

I just realized that because I have “replace the entire text”, it will remove the “Speed: 2” that was just added.

*grumble*  against Withdrawn
