Create a subrule to the rule “Clearance Levels”, call it “ProDemote”, give it the text

To Promote is to raise the clearance level of a Citizen or a Rule, and to Demote is to lower the Clearance Level of a Citizen or a Rule.

* Citizens of ULTRAVIOLET Clearance may Promote to any Clearance and may Demote from VIOLET or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of VIOLET Clearance may Promote to INDIGO or lower Clearance and may Demote from INDIGO or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of INDIGO Clearance may Promote to GREEN or lower Clearance and may Demote from BLUE or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of BLUE Clearance may Promote to ORANGE or lower Clearance and may Demote from GREEN or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of GREEN Clearance may Promote to RED Clearance and may Demote from YELLOW or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of YELLOW Clearance may Promote to RED Clearance and may Demote from RED Clearance.
* Citizens of ORANGE Clearance may Demote from RED Clearance.

In order to Promote or Demote, a Citizen must make a Story Post describing the Promotion or Demotion. More than one Promotion and/or more than one Demotion may be described in a single Story Post. If, within 24 hours of such a Story Post being posted, a Citizen who may legally Demote from the Clearance of the Author makes a comment to that Story Post that contains the word “OVERRULED”, all Promotions and Demotions made in that Story Post are reverted.

If you have a proposal that you want to be posted but have no slots left I have two slots open. If I think that it will be marked treason I can decide not to post.

Can the computer make me happy? I desire to join the mainframe as a fun, happy citizen.

I no linger wish to be calle Lon-G-CAT-1 due to Galdyn already having a similar designation. I want to be TAC-G-NOL-1, The anti-longcat

I promote rule 2.8.1, and all of its sub-rules to VIOLET clearance.

Change the Designation of the Citizen named glopso to Lon-G-CAT-1

Create a new ULTRAVIOLET Rule entitled “Credits”:

Each Citizen has an amount of Credits, tracked privately by the High-Programmer. New citizens start with 500 Credits. The High-Programmer may only tell a Citizen how many Credits this Citizen -  but not any other Citizen - currently holds.

Add a subrule to the Rule “Credits” entitled “Transferring”:

Any Citizen (known as the Transferrer) may, at any time, inform the High Programmer that they intend to transfer an amount of Credits (known as the Transfer Amount) to any other Citizen (known as the Receiver). As far as possible the High Programmer shall resolve the transferring, which means: If the Transfer Amount is (then) higher than the amount of Credits of the Transferrer, the High Programmer shall inform this Citizen that the transferring is not possible and cannot be done. If not, the High Progammer shall transfer a Transfer Amount of Credits from the Transferrer to the Receiver and inform both the Transferrer and the High Programmer who has participated in the Transferring, only the Transferrer how many Credits the Transferrer holds and only the Receiver how many Credits the Receiver holds.

If at least half of the EVC of this Proposal contain the phrase “FAIR PLAY CHANGE”,  add to the bullet list of Rule 1.10 entitled “Fair Play”:

* Admins, excluding the High Programmer, should not read personal messages written (using the ExpressionEngine) by a Citizen and addressed to the High Programmer.

If not, add a paragraph to the Rule entitled “Transferring”:

Admins, excluding the High Programmer, should not read personal messages written (using the ExpressionEngine) by a Citizen and addressed to the High Programmer.

In Rule 3.1 entitled “Keywords” rewrite the section Resolve/Resolution to:

If used in a context of Proposals, Call for Judgements or Declarations of Victory, the world “Resolve” means to perform the act, as an Admin, of enacting or failing a Proposal, a Call for Judgement or a Declaration of Victory. The world “Resolution” means then the act of doing so. If used in another context, the meaning of both “Resolve” and “Resolution” is the standard English meaning of these words.

If the Proposal titled “How can you have a government without forms?!” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Create a new Form.  Add the form to the appropriate wiki page.

The title of the form is:  5UBVR7

The description is: 

When passed, this Form reverts the changes made in the mentioned Proposal.

The Form’s text is:

Fill out the following form precisely.  Any inaccurate information may invalidate this form.

Your designation:  ___________
The designation of the Citizen who created the Proposal:  ___________
The name of the Proposal in question:  ____________

Please note that any inaccuracies in the name of the Proposal may result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death.

The reason that the rule is subversive to its Officers:  _____________

By writing ‘I agree’ in the following space, you agree that The Computer may send advertising material to your Alpha Complex residence: ____________

Do keep in mind that any response other than ‘I agree’ to the previous question invalidates your request, and is considered treason of the highest regard. 

By signing below, you agree that The Computer will access your credit report, criminal record, the memories of your current and ex-girl/boyfriend, family, and enemies, and the results of your mandatory brain scan which you have consented to in order to get this form to ensure that you actually believe that the rule in question is subversive.

The list of required signatories is:

Two Citizens, one being the primary signatory, must sign this form.  Both citizens must have a Clearance greater than the Clearance of the rule.

The requirement of passage is:

The fifth blank must be replaced only the text ‘I agree’, capitalized in exactly that way.  If it says anything else, the Form is failed immediately by any Citizen, and the author of the post gains 3 Treason points.  The second signature is waived if the primary Signatory is the High Programmer.

If the Proposal in question does not contain the word ‘officer’, the Form can be failed immediately by any Citizen.

The Form is passed after 24 hours unless a Citizen with a Clearance greater than the rule in question posts an against icon in the comments of the Form post.  The Form can be passed immediately if all Citizens with a Clearance greater than the rule in question has signed the form.

I was reading through the dynastic rules again and noticed that a clause I thought was was present was missing. In Kevan’s enacted proposal “Crime and Treason” (http://blognomic.com/archive/crime_and_treason/), the third part of his proposal changes the following clause:

In the Rule “Information Clearance”, replace “No Citizen may Author a Proposal that Creates, Modifies, or Repeals a Dynastic Rule with a clearance higher than their own.” with:-

If there is a way in which a pending Proposal could - if enacted - create, modify or repeal a Dynastic Rule whose Clearance Level is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, then that Proposal is Treasonous.

At the time of submission, Kevan was a Citizen with RED clearance, while the clause that he attempted to replace was an ULTRAVIOLET clause. It is my belief that Kevan was in violation of this very clause by authoring this proposal, and that therefore said proposal was illegal. Should we revert just that previous clause and leave everything else from Kevan’s proposal as enacted, or retcon the entire proposal?

Forms are critical to the success of a society.  Without forms, there is chaos.  Besides, from what I hear, The Computer loves forms.  As such, create a new, blank Wiki page called “List of forms”. 

Also create a new ULTRAVIOLET rule called “Forms” with the text:

A Form is a special type of Story Post.  A form must match one of the formats set out in the wiki page entitled “List of forms”.  Forms are similar to Proposals in that they may be passed or failed, but deciding whether or not a Form passes does not follow the same rules as Proposals.

Create a new subrule of “Forms” called “The Form-at” with the text:

A Form entry in the wiki page entitled “List of forms” consists of five parts.  The first part is the title, which consists of no more than 4 capitalized letters and any number of digits.  The title is used to identify the Form uniquely, and therefore no two Forms may have the same title.  The title is a first level heading in the wiki page.

The second part is the description, which contains a description of the effects of passing that Form.  The description should be written like a rule in that it describes exactly what happens when the Form passes, any necessary time frames involved, and in what order the listed actions should be taken.  The description should NOT describe how a Form is passed.  The description is under a second level heading of the wiki page.

The third part is the Form’s text.  The Form’s text consists of labels with blanks (denoted by a series of underscores) next to them, with optional instructional text.  A reasonable number of unnecessary labels and blanks are encouraged.  The Form’s text is under a second heading of the wiki page. 

The fourth part is the list of required signatories.  This is a list of Citizens who must sign the form for it to be passed.  There must be at least a required primary signatory, who is the Citizen who submits a Form to the blog.  The list of required signatories may include specific Citizens, Citizens of a minimum or maximum Clearance, and/or any other criteria desired, including none.  The list of required signatories is under a second heading of the wiki page.

The fifth part is an optional requirement of passage.  This is a description of any other rules involved in the passage of a Form.  It may include rules on who may pass the Form, when the Form may be passed, if any signatures are optional under certain conditions, etc.  If included, the requirement of passage is under a second heading of the wiki page.

Create a subrule of “Forms” called “Form-ula for Passage” with the text:

In order to use a Form, the Citizen wishing to use the form creates a Story Post with only the title of the Form and the Form’s text in its body.  When placing the Form’s Text in the body of the Story Post, the Citizen must replace all of the blanks in the text with information as requested by the associated label.  In order to post the Form, the Citizen must satisfy any requirements set out in the list of required signatories regarding the primary signatory.  If he does, he automatically signs the Form when he posts it.  Anyone who can be a signatory of a Form may sign it by posting a comment with an arrow icon. 

Once all required signatures have been collected, and the requirements set out in the requirements of passage have been satisfied, anyone explicitly permitted by the Form may pass the form by carrying out the description of the form.  If no Citizen is explicitly permitted, then the primary signatory of the Form may pass it and carry out its description.

If any Citizen notices any error anywhere in the body of a Form post, he may post an against voting icon along with a description of the problem.  If the concern is valid, the High-Programmer may fail the Form immediately, add 1 Treason point to the Citizen who posted the Form, and subtract 1 Treason point from the Citizen pointing out the error.  Unless otherwise specified in the requirements of passage section of the Form, any Form which has not been passed in 48 hours may be failed by any Citizen.  To fail a Form, the Citizen who wishes to fail the Form must post a comment to that effect.  A failed form may never be passed, and a form which has been passed may not be passed again or failed, unless specified by the Form.

Add a RED rule entitled “Sedition” with text as follows:

Whenever any proposal is enacted, all citizens who have a lower clearance level than the proposal’s author that have votes of AGAINST each reveice one Treason Point

Add a RED rule entitled “Sedition” with text as follows:

Whenever any proposal is enacted, all citizens who have a lower clearance level than the proposal’s author that have votes of VETO each reveice one Treason Point.

I humbly request that Friend Computer allows me entry to Alpha Complex. May I please be unidled?

In the rule “Naming Scheme”, change every occurrence of “Sector” to “Home-Sector”.

In the rule “Entertain or Die”, change every occurrence of “Quorum” to “five”.

In the rule “Treason”, remove the text “the flavour text of “.

In the rule “Clones”, change every occurrence of “(i.e., sixteen values)” to “(i.e., fifteen values)”.

If the Proposal entitled “Proposal: The Island awaits you” fails, this Proposal does nothing.

In the Rule entitled “Officiating the Lottery” replace “All citizens of this and higher clearance levels may perform the role of Notary and officiate the Lottery, if it has not yet been done this week.” with:

All citizens of this clearance level may perform the role of Notary and officiate the Lottery, if it has not yet been done this week.

In the Rule entitled “Credits” replace “Each citizen has an amount of Credits, tracked in the GNDT. New citizens start with 500 Credits.” with:

Each Citizen has an amount of Credits, tracked privately by the High-Programmer. New citizens start with 500 Credits. The High-Programmer may only tell a Citizen how many Credits this Citizen -  but not any other Citizen - currently holds.

Remove the GNDT-field concerning Credits.

Add a subrule to the Rule “Credits” entitled “Transferring”:

Any Citizen (known as the Transferrer) may, at any time, inform the High Programmer that they intend to transfer an amount of Credits (known as the Transfer Amount) to any other Citizen (known as the Receiver). As far as possible the High Programmer shall resolve the transferring, which means: If the Transfer Amount is (then) higher than the amount of Credits of the Transferrer, the High Programmer shall inform this Citizen that the transferring is not possible and cannot be done. If not, the High Progammer shall transfer a Transfer Amount of Credits from the Transferrer to the Receiver and inform both the Transferrer and the High Programmer who has participated in the Transferring, only the Transferrer how many Credits the Transferrer holds and only the Receiver how many Credits the Receiver holds.

To the bullet list of Rule 1.10 entitled “Fair Play” add:

* Admins, excluding the High Programmer, should not read personal messages written (using the ExpressionEngine) by a Citizen and addressed to the High Programmer.

In Rule 3.1 entitled “Keywords” rewrite the section Resolve/Resolution to:

If used in a context of Proposals, Call for Judgements or Declarations of Victory, the world “Resolve” means to perform the act, as an Admin, of enacting or failing a Proposal, a Call for Judgement or a Declaration of Victory. The world “Resolution” means then the act of doing so. If used in another context, the meaning of both “Resolve” and “Resolution” is the standard English meaning of these words.

Not sure why but the theme isn’t really working for me yet - I can’t come up with any decent ideas for props or mechanics. I’ll keep reading but for the time being I’ll back out.

Quorum stays 12.

In the Rule entitled “Information Clearance”, change the text

For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, no Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is a Citizen.

to

For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, any Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is an Officer but not a Citizen.

Add an INFRARED rule entitled “Slander” with text as follows:

Slander is disharmonious, which leads to unhappiness.  Accordingly, any Citizen who posts a blog post that constitutes slander of a Citizen will have his Treason score increased by one.  A statement is slanderous if (1) any Citizen with a Clearance Level of Violet or higher says so in a comment to that blog post, or (2) the statement satisfies such requirements as are issued in a blog post from time to time by a Citizen with a Clearance Level of Green or higher that have not been superseded by a subsequent blog post by a Citizen with a higher Clearance Level. 

I would like to join and be entered into the GNDT please?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_(role-playing_game)

Just in case anyone needs help or ideas for this dynasty.

If the Proposal titled “We Are Not Alone, now with proposal power!” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

If the Proposal titled “Don’t Dream It’s Over, with one hundred percent more proposal!” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add the following to the end (that is, before subrules) of the rule “We Are Not Alone”:

Every group has a non-negative number called it’s Treason Level.  If a Citizen communicates to any other Citizen that he is part of a group, via PM, e-mail, IRC, or any other online communication device, the second Citizen (the accuser) may accuse the first Citizen (the accused) of treason by way of posting the full text of the communication in a Story Post.  The accuser will then add the Treason Level of the concerned group to the accused Treason score. 

If, within 12 hours, the High-Programmer sees that a Citizen has made an accusation, and the accuser is in the same group as he is accusing the accused of, the High-Programmer may add the Treason Level of that group to the accuser’s Treason score.  The High-Programmer must then make a Story Post describing this. 

Whenever a Citizen’s group is revealed in a Story Post as set out in the last two paragraphs, and the citizen truly is a member of that group, the High-Programmer may, within 48 hours, revoke membership to that group.  If he does revoke membership to that group, he may then assign a new group to the Citizen, at the same time.  These changes are made by sending the Citizen involved a PM describing the changes. 

The High-Programmer must add one line to the end of each subrule of the rule “We Are Not Alone.”  The format of the line is “The Treason Level of this group is x.”, where x is a valid Treason Level for the group. 

Create a new YELLOW Clearance rule, entitled “Report for Briefing” with the text

Any Citizen who is not in Room 23-J, Sector BLN at Midnight of August 7 Gains 5 Traitor Points. No Citizen is in Room 23-J, Sector BLN, unless the ruleset specifies that they are.

Repeal this rule immediately after midnight of August 7.

Create a new YELLOW Clearance rule, entitled “Report for Briefing” with the text

Any Citizen who is not in Room 23-J, Sector BLN at Midnight of August 7 Gains 5 Traitor Points.

The Computer has graciously decided to allow Citizens who are unhappy with their current designations to take a Happityme pill to alleviate said unhappiness.

Oh, also, you may request changes here. (I remember several requests from IRC, but can’t remember who requested what.)

If the Proposal entitled “We Are Not Alone, now with proposal power!” fails, this Proposal does nothing.

Following the enactment of this Proposal, the High-Programmer may select Citizens (excluding himself) to belong to one or more of the following groups in a manner of his choosing: The Secret Policemen, The Alien Subversives, The Rebel Usurpers, and The Criminal Underground. Citizens belonging to one or more groups shall be notified via PM of this change.

Add a new subrule entitled “Sequel Police” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Secret Police

Add a new subrule entitled “Remulak, A Small Town In France” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Alien Subversives

Add a new subrule entitled “Do Or Do Not; There Is No Try” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Rebel Usurpers

Add a new subrule entitled “The Christian League Had The Seedy Underbelly Shut Down” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Criminal Underground

Add a new RED dynastic rule entitled “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

When a new Citizen joins the game, or when an idle Citizen who has not previously participated in this Dynasty reactivates, the High-Programmer may (within 48 hours) determine whether this Citizen is a member of one or more groups, enumerated in subrules to this rule, in a manner of his choosing. Whenever the High-Programmer determines that a Citizen is a member of a group, the High-Programmer shall notify that Citizen via PM but shall not alert that Citizen of the identity of any other members of that group.

Never played Paranoia, so I request to go idle.

Following the enactment of this Proposal, the High-Programmer may select Citizens (excluding himself) to belong to one or more of the following groups in a manner of his choosing: The Secret Policemen, The Alien Subversives, The Rebel Usurpers, and The Criminal Underground. Citizens belonging to one or more groups shall be notified via PM of this change.

Add a new subrule entitled “Sequel Police” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Secret Police

Add a new subrule entitled “Remulak, A Small Town In France” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Alien Subversives

Add a new subrule entitled “Do Or Do Not; There Is No Try” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Rebel Usurpers

Add a new subrule entitled “The Christian League Had The Seedy Underbelly Shut Down” to the rule “We Are Not Alone” with text as follows:

The Criminal Underground

Change my name to ‘90000’ and make my default designation ‘Nine-R-BGN-1’.

Sorry for the spam. I know it is not appreciated with many pending proposals at the beginning of a dynasty.

I’d like to change my name to ‘90000’ and make my default designation ‘Nine-R-BGN-1’.

Create a Rule with Clearance Level Infrared entitled “Hope” with the following text:

If a Citizen ever has Clearance Level Ultraviolet, that Citizen has achieved victory.

Please unidle me.  Thanks.

All hail the High Programmer!

Because if I were, I wouldn’t be able to distinguish the voting icons.

Add to the Rule entitled “Clones” (if existing) a subrule entitled “Last man standing”:

If there is at any time only one Citizen who has a Clone-Number of one, this Citizen achieves Victory.

Add a new dynastic rule (which shall be an Infrared rule, if Proposal: What is your name, Citizen? passes), with text as follows:

Following the enactment of this Proposal, the High-Programmer shall select certain Citizens (excluding himself) to become Commies (each of whom may be referred to as a Commie).
When a new Citizen joins the game, or when an idle Citizen who has not previously participated in this Dynasty reactivates, the High-Programmer may (within 48 hours) determine whether this Citizen is a Commie. The High-Programmer may use any methodology that he deems appropriate to determine whether a given Citizen is to become a Commie in accordance with the previous two sentences.  Should idling ever cause the active Citizen list to lack any Commies at all, the High-Programmer may determine that certain then active Citizens become Commies.  Whenever the High-Programmer determines that a Citizen is a Commie, the High-Programmer shall alert that Citizen via PM but shall not alert that Citizen of the identity of any other Commie.
The first time that the High-Programmer determines that certain Citizens are Commies, the High-Programmer shall, following the PM alerts to the relevant Citizens, post a Story Post to the Blog indicating that there are Commies among us.

Add the following text to the rule “Clones”, if it exists.

For purposes of the ruleset, the verbs “to die”, “to be executed” and “to be terminated” are synonyms.  The valid Clone-Numbers are hexadecimal numbers from 1 to F (i.e., sixteen values), plus zero and -1.  Due to an undocumented feature that must have been introduced by a dangerous subversive, if a Citizen’s Clone-Number is F and there occurs any action or event that would cause the Citizen’s Clone-Number to be incremented by 1, that Citizen’s Clone-Number instead becomes -1.

Quorum remains an impeccably loyal 12.

If the Proposal titled “That information is above your clearance level.” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add an ULTRAVIOLET rule, “Credits”:

Each citizen has an amount of Credits, tracked in the GNDT. New citizens start with 500 Credits.

Create the appropriate column in the GNDT and set each citizen’s Credits to 500.

Add a RED rule, “The Lottery”:

The weekly lottery is a fun and profitable activity all citizens may participate in. As there is no real reason not to play, all Citizens with 10 Credits or more are Lottery Players. Citizens of higher clearance levels have kindly volunteered to take care of the proceedings for us. Credits will be automatically deducted from all Lottery Players’ accounts when the lottery is held. Who the winner is and how much they have won will be announced in an official post.

Add a GREEN rule, “Officiating the Lottery”:

All citizens of this and higher clearance levels may perform the role of Notary and officiate the Lottery, if it has not yet been done this week. When they do so, they must deduct 10 Credits from each Lottery Player. The total amount collected this way is the Pot. R is the result of DICEX, where X is three plus the amount of Lottery Players. If R is equal or less to the amount of Lottery Players, the notary must increase the Credits of the Rth Lottery player in the GNDT by 80% of the Pot, rounded down, and decrease the Pot by the same amount. All Credits left in the Pot must then be equally divided amongst citizens of this and higher clearance levels, rounded to the nearest integer. Fractions of .5 are rounded up.

When the Lottery is held, the Notary will make a post, and include the name of the Lottery player who won (part of) the pot, and the amount of Credits gained by that Citizen. If no Lottery player won, they are encouraged to make up a nonexistent Citizen and a fictitious pot size instead.

If the Proposal titled “That information is above your clearance level.” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

In “Information Clearance”, change

For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, no Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is a Citizen.

to

For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, no Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is a Citizen unless specifically referred to as such.

Enact a new VIOLET Dynastic Rule called “Treason”:-

Each Citizen has a Treason score, tracked in the GNDT and starting at zero. A Citizen’s Treason may go negative, indicating that the Computer may have some temporary reason to foster the appearance of trust in that Citizen. Whenever a Citizen’s Clearance Level or Clone-Number changes, that Citizen’s Treason score is reset to zero.

Whenever the High-Programmer makes a blog post, he may assign any number of Commendations and Treason Points to Citizens (with a maximum of one Commendation and one Treason Point per Citizen), in the flavour text of that blog post. A Citizen who earns a Commendation has their Treason score reduced by one; the Citizen who earns a Treason Point has their Treason score increased by one - these modifications may be made by the High-Programmer within one hour of the post.

If a blog post is Treasonous and no Citizen has made an Accusation in its comments, any Citizen may make an Accusation by posting a comment to that post with the word “TREASON” in capital letters, and increasing the Treason score of the blog post’s author by one.

If a Citizen’s Treason score is -6 or lower, they may increase their Clearance Level by one level. If a Citizen’s Treason score is 6 or more, any Citizen with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them by posting a blog post announcing such an action.

To the Rule “Clones”, add:-

Termination causes the Terminated Citizen to die in an efficient and hygienic manner.

In the Rule “Information Clearance”, replace “No Citizen may Author a Proposal that Creates, Modifies, or Repeals a Dynastic Rule with a clearance higher than their own.” with:-

If there is a way in which a pending Proposal could - if enacted - create, modify or repeal a Dynastic Rule whose Clearance Level is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, then that Proposal is Treasonous.

Create an ULTRAVIOLET Clearance rule, or, if the Proposal entitled “That information is above your clearance level.” Failed, a dynastic rule, entitled “Perversity” and give it the text

Each Citizen posesses zero or more Perversity Points (PP). The number of PP they have is tracked in the GNDT and defaults to 0.

Add a subrule to the rule entitled “Perversity”, title it “Entertain or Die” and give it the text

When voting on a Proposal, a Citizen may include the ARROW (arrow.gif) icon in their EVC and before their Vote to indicate that they believe the flavor of that Proposal (either within the Flavor Text or in the wording of the Proposal) is entertaining and/or well-suited to the theme of the dynasty.

When a Proposal is Enacted or Failed, the author of that Proposal gains one Perversity Point if Quorum of EVC’s include the ARROW (arrow.gif) icon before the Vote.

When commenting on a Story Post, a Citizen may include the ARROW (arrow.gif) icon in their post to indicate that they believe the flavor of that Story Post is entertaining and/or well-suited to the theme of the dynasty.

If a Story Post ever has at least Quorum comments that contain the ARROW (arrow.gif) icon, without including more than one comment from each Citizen, then the author of that Story Post may add one perversity point to their total in the GNDT. They may only do this within one week of making the Story Post, and may only gain one Perversity Point per Story Post.

If the proposal entitled “What is your name, Citizen?” Failed, this proposal does nothing.

In the rule entitled “Naming Scheme” change the text

A Citizen’s prime-name defaults to their name.

to

A Citizen’s prime-name defaults to their name, with the first letter capitalized, the rest lowercased, and all non-letters removed.

Create 9 subsections of the dynastic rules, entitle them “ULTRAVIOLET”, “VIOLET”, “INDIGO”, “BLUE”, “GREEN”, “YELLOW”, “ORANGE”, “RED”, and “INFRARED”.

Move the rules entitled “Naming Scheme”, “Clearance Levels”, and “Clones” along with all of their sub-rules, to the ULTRAVIOLET subsection of the dynastic rules.

Add the following text to the end of the rule entitled “Clearance Levels”

All dynastic rules have a Clearance Level. The Clearance Level of a dynastic rule is the section of the Dynastic rules which it is in. If a Dynastic Rule is ever without a Clearance Level, its Clearance Level becomes INFRARED.

Create a subrule of the rule entitled “Clearance Levels” entitled “Information Clearance” and give it the text

For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, no Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is a Citizen.

No Citizen may Author a Proposal that Creates, Modifies, or Repeals a Dynastic Rule with a clearance higher than their own.

Citizens of ULTRAVIOLET Clearance may change the Clearance Level of any rule of Clearance Violet or lower by making a Story Post stating their intention to do so.

Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Naming Scheme” with the text

Each Citizen has a Designation, which is tracked in the GNDT. Their Designation is their prime-name (a string of letters, the first capitalized, the rest lower-case) followed by a dash, their single-letter Clearance Level abbreviation followed by a dash (if their Clearance Level has no abbreviation, this is ommitted), their Sector (three capitalized letters) followed by a dash, and their Clone-Number. A Citizen’s prime-name defaults to their name. A Citizen’s Sector defaults to “BGN”. The High-Programmer may change a Citizen’s prime-name or Sector at that Citizens request.

Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Clearance Levels” with the text

A Clearance Level is one of (from highest to lowest)

* ULTRAVIOLET
* VIOLET
* INDIGO
* BLUE
* GREEN
* YELLOW
* ORANGE
* RED
* INFRARED

Each Clearance Level above INFRARED has a single-letter abbreviation, which is its first letter.

Each Citizen has a Clearance Level, which defaults to INFRARED.

Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Clones” with the text

Each Citizen has a Clone-Number which defaults to 1. Whenever a rule or a game action causes a Citizen to die, that Citizen’s Clone-Number is incremented by 1.

Set the Clearance Level of all Citizens to RED. Set the Clearance Level of the High-Programmer to ULTRAVIOLET.

Repeal all dynastic rules. Change RNG to High-Programmer and @ to Citizen.

And change the font.  My eyes bleed.

This URL isn’t taken? Please unidle me!

Hi there.

I have waited until the end of the nethack dynasty to come back. You managed (after a long while) to end it, so: I request to be unidled.

Kind regards, Keba.

PS: Congratulations to Galdyn ;)

As Darth Cliche said, I am officially passing the mantle of RNG to lilomar. My reasons.

First, my theme idea while, I think it is a good idea is not the best idea to follow up the NetHack Dynasty. Therefore I would like to save it for a time where it would be better suited.
Second, at least for the remainder of this week I do not have enough time to be and effective RNG, in helping to shape the dynasty during the crucial beginning.
Third, during the middle of the dynasty lilomar significantly helped me by proofreading proposals that I was working on, pointing out flaws, thus I think he has a fairly good eye for that type of thing.
Fourth, I like lilomar’s idea for the theme, and believe that it will be fun, while providing gameplay that will be significantly different from the gameplay of this last dynasty.

However you would like to take this decision, that is my decision.

I declare lilomar as the new RNG.

Vell, Galdyn’s jus’ zis guy, you know?

Like clockwork, I’d like to be unidled again.  Hopefully I’ll have more stamina this time.

I’ve been looking through recent dynastic histories to see if there was anything missing (like the Theme of arthexis’ dynasty…)

I assume that given that it’s well over a year ago now, there’s no harm in revealing this now, so: could anyone who played through the Fourth Metadynasty reveal what the GNO encryption algorithms actually were? It’s hard to make sense of BlogNomic’s history without that sort of “insider knowledge”.

I Declare Victory according to rule 2.15 entitled “Elimination” which states

If, at any time, exactly one @ has 0 deaths, that @ has achieved victory.

How did “The inevitable ending” pass when “Might be ambiguous” is still before it in the queue? Am I forgetting some rule that allows Proposals to be adminned out of order?

If keywords have been replaced by an Ascension Address between this proposal’s proposal and its enactment, make the same keyword replacements on this proposal before enacting it.

In rule 1.2 “@s”, immediately after

Some @s are Admins, responsible for updating the site and the Ruleset, and are signified as such in the sidebar. @s who wish to become Admins may sign up with a username for the Ruleset Wiki, and submit a Proposal to make themselves Admins. Existing Admins may be removed from their posts by Proposal, CfJ, or voluntary resignation. New admins shall be given the GNDT configuration password when they become admins.

Non-Admins can also perform actions that the Rules state are exclusive to Admins, such as enacting proposals, if an Admin would be allowed to do so and they have the technical capability to do so.

Add the following text to the end of the rule entitled “Trading”:

For the purposes of this rule, a Bag of Gold is counted as two items.

In the Rule entitled “Potions”, change the text

If you are wielding a weapon, increase its Enchantment by 1. If its Enchantment is now greater than your Dungeon Level, remove it from your Inventory.

to

If you are wielding one or more weapons, increase the Enchantment of the first one listed in the GNDT by 1. If its Enchantment is now greater than your Dungeon Level, remove it from your Inventory.

I’ve just noticed that last time (and possibly earlier times) I Found the Stairs, I didn’t then Find Treasure, a compulsory action. (What a complex ruleset we have…) Should I do so now? Or just leave it? Or something else?

In rule 2.6 “Dungeon”, change DICE3 to DICE2.

Set the dungeon level of the @s named ais523 and Galdyn to 10.

Add a new rule, “Final showdown”:

If either the @ named ais523 or the @ named Galdyn Dies, the other achieves victory. If either of them would have their dungeon level changed for any reason, it remains unchanged instead.

If a rule entitled “Unholy Forces” exist, add to it a subrule entitled “Welcome to the dark side.” Give the subrule the text

If an undead @ causes another @ who is not undead to die by fighting them, the @ they caused to die has their deaths increased by an extra 1.

If a demon who is not wielding a weapon fights an @ who is neither undead nor a demon, they deal 3DICE5 damage instead of 1DICE2.

If an undead @ who is not wielding a weapon fights an @ who is neither undead nor a demon, they deal 1DICE15 damage instead of 1DICE2.

If an undead demon who is not wieldining a weapon fights an @ who is neither undead nor a demon, they deal 2DICE10 damage instead of 1DICE2, 3DICE5, or 1DICE15 damage.

In the rules, every @‘s inventory and discovery list, every encounter, and the Loot list, change all instances of “beserk” to “berserk”.
In the rules, every @‘s inventory and discovery list, every encounter, and the Loot list, change all instances of “Dwarven Chain Mail” to “dwarven mithril-coat”.
In the rules, every @‘s inventory and discovery list, every encounter, and the Loot list, change all instances of “Dragon Scales” to “gray dragon scales”.
Rename “trading” to “shopping” throughout the ruleset (and likewise other forms of those words).
