Proposal: ...we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory forever

5-3. Times out. - Elias IX

Create a new rule entitled “Great Old Ones”

Any student may begin serving a Great Old One listed in this rule, or change which one they are serving, at any time, provided they meet the prerequisites to do so, have a sanity of -80 or greater and are not lost. A student has the Great Old One they serve listed in the GNDT.

*-
Prerequisites: None
Effects: A student not serving any Great Old One or Mythos Race is Defending Humanity. If at least Quorum/2 +1 (rounded down) students not Defending Humanity are Lost, and all non-lost students are Defending Humanity, the student Defending Humanity with the highest Sanity has achieved victory.

*Cthulhu
Prerequisites: The student must have a sanity less than -5 to begin serving Cthulhu. For a student to begin serving Cthulhu either the Moon, Pluto or Neptune must be dignified, or Jupiter and Saturn must be both digified and in trine.
Effects: If a student serving Cthulhu has eir thirst increased by any number greater than one, eir thirst is decreased by one. However, a student serving Cthulhu will lose two points of sanity from drinking, rather than one. If two planets are dignified in different water signs, and both are in a stellium, or three planets are dignified and in a Grand Trine in water signs and there is a conjunction in each of those signs, the stars are right and Cthulhu is summoned: the student serving Cthulhu with the highest Mythos has achieved victory.

*Nyarlothotep
Prerequisites: A student must have a sanity below -8 and a Mythos of at least 10 to serve Nyarlothotep.
Effects:When a student serving Nyarlothotep performs an experiment, e gains two rather than one Mythos if the result is four or less. If a student serving Nyarlothotep has a copy of every tome, e has achieved victory.

*Azathoth
If any student has a sanity below -50, e begins serving Azathoth.
Prerequisites: A student must have a sanity below -40 to serve Azathoth
Effects:A student serving Azathoth may often post a comment of “Mad Ravings: DICE10 XXXX” where XXXX is the name of a student. That student loses sanity equal to the result of the DICE10 roll. If only Quorum/2 -1 (rounded up) or fewer students aren’t lost, and all are serving Azathoth, the student with the lowest sanity and not lost has achieved victory.

So what’s the problem? Are some of the powers unbalanced? Too early for victory conditions? Is their something I could change which would let a similar proposal pass?
