Proposal: Where Am I?

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 14 May 2020 09:05:22 UTC

When this Proposal enacts, the enacting admin should message the Past Memory to indicate that it has enacted.

When this Proposal enacts, the Past Memory should secretly randomly choose a Building for each Amnesiac, which will be their Usual Hideout, from the Buildings which are familiar to them, if any such Buildings exist, or from the set of all Buildings otherwise.

In the Rule ‘Playing Cards’, create a new sub-rule, called ‘You Look Familiar’, with the following text:

As a Weekly Action, an Amnesiac may Reminisce by sending the Past Memory a message indicating their attempt to Reminisce and a card in their hand of cards, called the Souvenir.

The Past Memory should then randomly pick (in a secret manner) an Amnesiac who has a card in their hand of cards that is the same suit as the Souvenir, and reply to the message with the Secret Hideout of that Amnesiac. If no Amnesiac has a card that is the same suit as the Souvenir, the Past Memory should instead randomly pick (also in a secret manner) the name they send from the list of all Amnesiacs. The Past Memory should not indicate which process was used to select the chosen name.

The first line doesn’t do anything.

The first line didn’t do anything. I was too slow to comment.

The paragraph following doesn’t do anything. A Proposal cannot have any effect beyond its enactment. For a Usual Hideout to be tracked, there must be a rule in place to provide for that tracking,

A Proposal cannot have any effect beyond its enactment.

That’s always been a controversial statement, but I do agree that if it’s not set by the ruleset then it’s not gamestate, and anything that’s not gamestate isn’t subject to the various gamestate tracking protections that exist.

against but I don’t hate the idea.

By the by, ayesdeeef, I noticed that you were having trouble with the wiki. You do have an existing account on the wiki from 2014; can you reset its password?

against It’s also switching from “Usual Hideout” to “Secret Hideout”.

I liked the idea, too, but it’s hard to vote FOR if it ultimately doesn’t do anything.  against
