Proposal: Unproductive Infants

If the proposal “Personal clocks” was enacted, then this proposal has no effect.

In the rule Vocating, change the text “Let X be the number of days between the start of the last day you performed this action” to read:

Let X be the number of days between the start of the last day you performed this action (or the date upon which you assumed the Vocation chosen in this atomic action, whichever is most recent)

In the rule “Life Stages”, replace the conditions under which a Seeker is in the Infant and Juvenile Life Stages with the following:

If a Seeker has not performed Be Productive at any point in the Dynasty then that Seeker is in the Infant Life Stage.
For the first week after performing Be Productive for the first time, a Seeker is in the Juvenile Life Stage.

 

An alternative to Josh’s “Personal clocks” which doesn’t set everyone but himself and JD back four days. To address Josh’s concern about people without Hobbies getting extra productive time before becoming Geriatric, this sets the life clock ticking from the first time you’re productive instead of when you get a Vocation (which retroactively makes everyone Juvenile)

I suspect that this is roughly where we would have ended up on the other proposal if ais hadn’t edit locked it.
