BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Create a new rule called “Schemes” as follows:

Each Reader may, at any one time, be involved in zero, one or two active Schemes; any given Scheme may involve two or three Readers.

The purpose of a Scheme is to gain its participants standing within the College of Divination. To start a Scheme, as a Daily Action, one of its participants creates a new Story Post with a list of participants, a short description, and a list of criteria (which are either a Suit or Rank of Card). For example:

Story Post: The Tower Scheme by Readername, Othername, and Thirdname

Certain members of the College wish to see it come to pass that the prevailing interpretation of the Tower is disproven, embarrassing its author and accrediting its skeptics. Criteria:

1. A Card of Rank 14
2. A Sword
3. A Card of Rank 0

Each time a Card is drawn via Daily Communal Action, a Scheme may advance if the Card so drawn matches the topmost unmatched criterion in its list. Once a given criterion is matched by a drawn card, it stays matched, and the next criterion is ready for matching. A single Card may only match one criterion per Scheme.

Once all criteria in an active Scheme have been matched, any of its participants may conclude it. To do so, they select a random Aura and add it to the Auras of each participant in the Scheme; this does not cause any of them to lose their other Auras. Once any participant has concluded the Scheme, it is no longer an active Scheme.

All participants in a Scheme must have consented to involvement in it before the Scheme is created; otherwise it is never a valid Scheme.
