Proposal: We Ride Together

Reaches quorum, 7-1. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 24 May 2017 21:11:15 UTC

Add a new rule, “Dog Teams”:

Each Explorer belongs to a particular Dog Team, represented by a single capital letter from A through Z, tracked in the GNDT. An Explorer may change their Dog Team at any time if they share the same Camp as all other Explorers belonging to the Dog Team they are changing to. If all Explorers that belong to the same Dog Team are able to move to the same Camp, any Explorer that belongs to that Dog Team may move all of that team’s Explorers to that Camp.

Add “Dog Team” to the GNDT and set each Explorer’s Dog Team to a different, arbitrary, letter.

I wondered if we should instantiate the dogs, so that we can ultimately eat their livers out of desperation and die of vitamin A poisoning.

I like the idea of maybe sharing the teams, and I guess maybe getting stranded without them?  Is that the intent?

This feels similar to what we already did at Viv’s. If this is a new spin to the same thing, then I’ll enthusiastically greentick. If this devolves into the same deal then no.

I’ll wait for more context to arise before voting. Too early to really determine much.

Somehow I think this dynasty about antarctic exploration maybe just *might* turn out a little bit differently than a dynasty about a deep sea creature.

I’m not sure about this, since you can simply change to someone’s team and effectively abduct them.

Also do we really need this as an explicit rule? If two or more people want to team up they could simply do so without this rule.

It also includes some weirdness with unidling folks that get assigned the same Team.

I was worried this would sound too much like Viv’s but the flexibility of changing teams might make it different enough.

The intent was indeed to enable (along with cooperation - maybe in a team with N dog sleds you can move up to N degrees?) abduction and stranding.

against  Unless more mechanics for it are added, given the abduction issue.

[PSS] There aren’t even mechanics to move out of the base camp yet, there’s plenty of time to fix that problem.
