Proposal: What’s a Weevil?

9-3, reaches quorum. -Elias IX

Adminned at 25 Feb 2006 19:21:08 UTC

Add the following rule, entitled Weevils:

Swashbucklers can raise their weevils as pets. A well-reared weevil can be quite formidable assistance in times of need.

Weevils have their own GPS, tracked next to them in the Motley section of the GNDT in brackets (e.g. Weevil Bob (8)). A new Weevil has a GPS of zero.

If the Weevil has a GPS that is lower than that of the swashbucker who owns it, it may perform the following actions:
- Duel any other Weevil belonging to a Swashbuckler in the same location (no more than once a day)
- Be eaten by the Swashbuckler possessing it by posting to the BlogNomic weblog; its GPS is immediately added to that of the Swashbuckler who eats it.

If the Weevil has a GPS that is higher than that of the Swashbuckler who owns it, then it may perform the following actions in addition to those listed above:
- Perform any duties assigned to its owner
- Move independantly of its owner, unless the owner is Ashore, in British Gaol or Davy Jones’ Locker
- Duel any other Swashbuckler
- Take part in an Adventure

In addition, if the Weevil has the higher GPS, any duel with the Swashbuckler who possesses it must actually be fought against the Weevil. All Duels with Weevils follow the rules set out in rule 2.4, except that Weevils may never be injured or gain motley of any kind; should a Weevil ever lose so badly that they would be expected to be injured, the Weevil is killed instead and is removed from its owner’s GNDT field.

A Swashbuckler may only ever possess one Weevil.

Add the following to the list of Special Motley:

Biscuit: Biscuits may be eaten by the possessing Swashbuckler at any time. When e does so, e may roll DICEx, where x is the number of days elapsed since he bougth it. If the result is 4 or greater, e gains a Weevil.

Weevil: See the rule entitled ‘Weevil’. Upon gaining a Weevil, the possessing Swashbuckler may give it the name of their choice, before entering it into the GNDT as ‘Weevil [Name]’. A Weevil may never be confiscated by the Captain.

Add the following to the list of Motley not purchasable at port:

- Weevil

It seems like a lot to keep track of in the GNDT, Weevil (name) (GPS) and potentially (location)
