Proposal: Visions and Dreams

Passes 12-2-2. Darknight

Adminned at 21 Dec 2009 22:14:10 UTC

Add a new subsection to “The Sultan and the Grand Vizier” called “Visions and Dreams” that reads:

If the Sultan exists, and a wish is granted by the Djinn to any adventurer, then the Djinn must privately message the Sultan the full text of the wish granted. If the Grand Vizier exists, and the Djinn decides to not grant a wish, the full text of the not-granted wish must be privately messaged by the Djinn to the Grand Vizier, along with the reason for not granting the wish.

Hopefully, this will make the Sultan a coveted position. Also, it might lead to some interesting wishes…

Um…the Djinn is already required to post granted wishes on the blog. As such, I don’t see how this matters at all.  imperial

well…yes. you’re right. I suppose it’s a matter of timing, though - maybe requests for wishes ought to be messaged to both the Sultan and the Djinni at the same time. After all, people have already messaged the Djinni with wishes that haven’t been granted (yet), and foreknowledge of those wishes would give the Sultan some benefit, even if he doesn’t know whether the Djinni will actually grant the wish

He just has “announce any resultant gamestate or ruleset changes in a blog entry” which isn’t quite the same as knowing what the wish itself was. For clever wishes, it could make a huge difference.

I would vote for a version that requires wishes to be PMed to the Sultan as soon as they are made, with info about timeframes and so on. That would give them advance knowledge of wishes, as well as access to wish text, and so be solidly an advantage.

I’ve submitted a fix that requires immediate notification and makes what to send more explicit.
