To the end of the paragraph starting with “A Villager may remove a Remedy…” in the rule section Remedies, add the following:
A villager may “credit” a dead villager when using the remedy, by declaring so in their post. The dead villager so referenced is considered credited”. Each time a dead villager is credited they gain one momento mori.
All momento mori possessed by players when this is enacted are multiplied by three.
The line
“Whenever a Villager catches the Black Death, all Villagers Near to them who already had the Black Death gain one Memento Mori”
is replaced with:
Whenever a Villager catches the Black Death, all Villagers Near to them who already had the Black Death gain three Memento Mori
The dead need a way to keep scoring. And doing so should help the living. If they can time the deaths just right…
Maybe we should track Memento Mori in the GNDT?
Madrid:
Note: The dead villager so referenced is considered credited”<- Remove that” symbol.
Also, this can be interesting although it could create a Living vs Dead metagame, where the living just try to spread out the credit as much as possible so that the Dead can’t opt to win through the creddited Memento Moris (and start to conspire between them to achieve that because there’s a profit to obtain). The Dead are already fucked as it is, and if so, that would just reinforce our losing position.
Its interesting that all works out though, so despite this is a mechanism to directly help the dead, I feel that it would actually incentivize behaviour which would push us further back.
So
because self interest. Shrug.
