Rewrite rule Daemons, so it reads:
A Corporation may, in the interest of serving their stockholders, summon Daemons to help them compete in our increasingly global economy. A Corporation’s Daemons are tracked by means of a list in the GNDT, which should contain either “(none)†or a list with the names of the Daemons they currently employ. Each name of Daemon is named and described in a subrule to this rule.
Often, a Corporation may summon one and only one Daemon. Unless otherwise stated, a Corporation may not summon a Daemon they already employ.
To summon a Daemon, the Corporation simply changes their Daemon option to include a given name, then pays that Daemon’s Summoning Cost in Souls. The Daemon is then summoned, and becomes employed by the Corporation until removed or replaced. If they already employ any Daemons at that time, the cost for the new Daemon is doubled once for each Daemon that Corporation already employs.
As with Products and Production Rights, Daemons are covered by Naming Rights; a Corporation may only summon a Daemon whose Naming Rights they own, or whose Naming Rights are Public Knowledge.
Unless otherwise stated, whenever Time is Advanced by the Government, each Corporation that employs a Daemon loses one Soul for the first Daemon they employ, 2 for the second, 4 for the third, and so on, doubling the cost for each additional Daemon they employ. If the Corporation has insufficient Souls to meet this demand (known as the Maintenance Cost), their Daemon is set to “(none)†and their Cash is set to $1M less than their Credit Limit, rendering them Bankrupt.
At any time, a Corporation may release a Daemon they employ, by paying the summoning cost of the Daemon being released, double once for each Daemon they currently control, including the one being released, and deleting said Daemon from their list in the GNDT.
Adjust the GNDT accordingly.
If Proposal: The Daily Grind has passed, change “Often, a Corporation may summon one and only one Daemon.” to “Summoning a Daemon is a Daily Action.”
Rewrite the Mephistopheles sub-rule, so it reads:
Summoning Cost: 4 Souls
Naming Rights: Public KnowledgeMephistopheles shall not be considered when computing Maintenance Costs, i.e., a Corporation pay no souls to maintain Mephistopheles as they employee, nor does Mephistopheles double the Maintenance Cost of any other Daemon. Additionally, a Corporation controlling Mephistopheles gains one extra Soul per Daemon they employ each time Time is Advanced by the Government, in addition to any Production spent on Souls.
