Proposal: You Too Can Be a Grim Reaper!

Timed out, 1-1. Failed by JonathanDark.

Add a new rule titled “To Do List”, with the following content:

The To Do List is a numbered list of 7 Souls. The Souls in the To Do List always retain their number, even if other Souls are removed from the List. The To Do List is created by the Grim Reaper using the Check To Do List action, which is an atomic action with the following steps:

*Un-sticky the post with the current To Do List, if there is any. The contents of this post are no longer considered the To Do List.
*Create a new Soul, setting its Importance to be DICE10 and making it Royal if the result of the dice roll is more than 6. Repeat this 7 times, then put the selected Souls into the To Do List as the first 7 items of the list.
*Create a new Story Post with the title “Grim Reaper’s To Do List” followed by today’s date, with the body containing the To Do List, and make this post sticky.

At any time, a Necromancer may privately communicate to the Grim Reaper a ordered subset of Souls from the To Do List that they wish to guide to eternity using their numbers in the To Do List. The most recent such set a Necromancer has privately communicated since the last Sands of the Hourglass is considered that Necromancer’s Schedule. If a Necromancer hasn’t privately communicated a valid Schedule since the last Sands of the Hourglass was completed, their Schedule is considered to be empty.

Each Necromancer has Grimness, which is a publicly tracked number defaulting to zero. If a Necromancer’s Grimness is greater than 10 and also the single greatest Grimness among all Necromancers, then that Necromancer has achieved victory.

Add the following new steps to the Sands of the Hourglass action, right after the step “Perform the Assemble Horde atomic action”

*Create the Grim Reaper’s Schedule by randomly ordering the Souls from the To Do List so that Royal Souls are before other Souls.
*With N going through the numbers from 1 to 7, do the following:
**Remove the Grim Reaper’s Schedule’s Nth Soul from the To Do List, if it is in the To Do List. If some Necromancers had this Soul at the Nth place in their Schedules, ignore those Necromancer’s Schedules for the rest of this action.
**For each Soul in the To Do List that is at the Nth place of exactly one Necromancer’s Schedule, increase that Necromancer’s Grimness by the Soul’s Importance. Remove the Soul from the To Do List.
*Perform the Check To Do List atomic action.

The Ascension Address said that one of us has to become the Grim Reaper. So thematically my idea is: the one who does what the Grim Reaper does is the Grim Reaper

prefer glyphs as they let us play out the dynasty and have some of our past actions mean something
