KLUGE ------------------------------ From: devjoe@wilma.che.utexas.edu Subject: Acka: Proposal 3835 Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 12:32:00 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3835 P3773 was a good start /dev/joe Due: Sun Dec 6 12:31:59 1998 This is a Modest Proposal. {{[ P3773 closed some loopholes related to Share Your Income Otzma Cards; specifically, it prevents players from being SYI'd on money from an SYI which they subsequently lose because their SYI gets Go-Fished. It doesn't close the *other* major loophole with SYIs which is that if you get SYI'd twice on the same sum of money, you lose it all, or if you get SYI'd 3 times or more, you have a net loss. This proposal fixes this problem, and also closes loopholes which allow SYI cards to be played on trinket destructions (which are supposed to be "conversions" of A$ and should be immune) and which allow SME cards to be used on all sorts of voluntary things like gifts, and replaces "money" with A$ since it is not referred to as such anywhere else in the rules, and makes the "about to pay" in the SME rule more explicit.]}} 1. Replace the first paragraph of Rule 1240.7 (which currently contains the following DINGY_GRAY-delimited text): DINGY_GRAY An Otzma Card of this type can only be played in the public forum. When a player plays this a Card of this type e also names another player, and a sum of money which is at most half of a Valid Sum of Money the named player received in the preceding three days (All sums of money received by players are Valid Sums except for amounts received as a direct result of the playing of one or more Otzma Cards). The Named player transfers that same amount to the player who played the Card. DINGY_GRAY with the following SPARKLING-delimited text: SPARKLING An Otzma Card of this type can only be played in the public forum. When a player plays this a Card of this type e also names another player, and a positive integral sum of A$ which is at most half of a Valid Sum the named player received in the preceding three days. The named player transfers that amount of A$ to the player who played the Card. An Otzma Card of this type is considered to be played on the Valid Sum the named player received earliest which is at least twice the sum of A$ named in the playing of the card; the sum the card is played upon then ceases to be a Valid Sum. For the purposes of this rule, all sums of A$ received by players are Valid Sums for three days after they have been received, except for amounts received as a direct result of the playing of one or more Otzma Cards, amounts received as the result of the destruction of one or more trinkets, and amounts which have previously had Otzma Cards of this type played on them. SPARKLING 2. In the Counter-Action paragraph in R1240.7, change "money" to "A$". 3. Replace the first two paragraphs of Rule 1240.6 with the following COLORSAFE_BLEACH-delimited text: COLORSAFE_BLEACH An Otzma Card of this type can only be played in the public forum. When a player who is about to pay a Valid Sum plays a Card of this type e announces the name of another player, and a positive integral amount of A$ he wants that player to pay, provided it is at most half what the former player is about to pay. When the player who played the card first pays a Valid Sum of at least twice the named amount within the next three days, if the card has not already been countered, the named player pays the named amount to the player who played the card; this payment is called "The Transfer". For the purposes of this rule, all sums of A$ paid by players are Valid Sums except for amounts paid as the direct result of one or more Otzma Cards, and amounts paid as the result of voluntary actions of the player paying the amount, such as trades, gifts, trinket creations, land purchases, etc. Counter-Action: If The Transfer for this card has occurred, the player who played the card pays the named player the sum of A$ e originally named plus 10 percent, rounded down to the nearest integer. If The Transfer for this card has not occurred, the player who played the card pays the named player 10 percent of the sum of A$ e named, rounded down to the nearest integer, and The Transfer for this card shall never occur. COLORSAFE_BLEACH ------------------------------ From: devjoe@wilma.che.utexas.edu Subject: Acka: Proposal 3836 Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 14:14:14 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3836 The Fiendish Fluoridators Made Me Do It Alfvaen Due: Sun Dec 6 14:14:13 1998 Create a new rule, numbered 1020, with the title "Conspiracy Theory", with text as follows(delimited by SMOF): SMOF I. Power And Resistance Each Organization has two Characteristics: Power and Resistance. These are both zero by default. An Organization with Power greater than zero is an Organized Group. An Organized Group which has zero Resistance is an Illuminatus Group. An Organization with zero Power but Resistance greater than zero is an Unorganized Group. These organizations, and no others, are considered to be Groups. II. Megabucks Megabucks are tradeable entities, with the exception that they may never be traded to entities which are not Groups. Organizations which are Groups are, of course, empowered to own them. An Organized Group may convert A$100 into a Megabuck at any time as a public action, though it may not put itself into debt by doing so. If a Megabuck is "spent" as specified in the Rules, then it is destroyed. III. Control {{[ Outright plagiarism of Rule 750...:-) ]}} Each Group may have a Thrall Attribute. This Thrall Attribute is either the name of another Group or the null string. If a Group (G) changes its name, then any Groups whose Thrall Attribute was the old name of the Group (G) have their Thrall Attributes changed to the new name of Group (G). When an Organization first becomes a Group, then its Thrall Attribute is set to "". When an Organization ceases to be a Group, then any Group whose Thrall Attribute is the name of that Organization has their Thrall Attribute set to "". If a Group (G) has a Thrall Attribute which is the name of a Group (H), then Group (H) may be said to Control Group (G). If a Group (H) Controls a Group (G), it also Ultimately Controls Group (G); in addition, Group (H) Ultimately Controls any Group which Group (G) Ultimately Controls. Any Controlled Group (G) which is not Ultimately Controlled by an Illuminatus Group has its Thrall Attribute immediately set to "". If a Group (G), which is not an Illuminatus Group, has a Thrall Attribute of "", then it is said to be Uncontrolled. [Illuminatus Groups are never Controlled; they are always the Controllers.] The Illuminatus Group which Ultimately Controls a Group (I) may be referred to as Group (I)'s Illuminatus Group. Only Controlled Groups or Illuminatus Groups are allowed to make attacks. The Groups which are Ultimately Controlled by a particular Illuminatus Group are the Lackeys of that Illuminatus Group. A Group which is directly Controlled by an Illuminatus Group is said to be Protected by a factor of 1; a Group which is directly Controlled by a Group which is Protected by a factor of N is Protected by a factor of N+1. No Uncontrolled Group is Protected in this manner. IV. Attacks A particular Illuminatus Group and its Lackeys may, among them, make two Attacks per calendar week, with the proviso that no single Group may make two Attacks in the same calendar week. An Attack is initiated by an Organizational Action on the part of the Illuminatus Group(no matter which group is actually Attacking), and is considered to actually occur when the Action succeeds. (No such Action will succeed if it would exceed the above limits.) When an Attack is declared, it must specify the Attacking Group, the type of Attack, name another Group(the Defending Group), which it must be permissible to Attack in this manner, and a number of Megabucks to be spent on the attack. These Megabucks may come only from the Attacking Group and its Illuminatus Group. If the Defending Group is Controlled, then its Illuminatus Group has three days to initiate an Organizational Action to spend Megabucks in its defense. Should no such Action be initiated within three days of the attack, or should the Defending Group be Uncontrolled, then the Attack's success or failure shall be determined after the three days are up; otherwise, the determination shall wait for the defending Action to succeed or fail. Only the Defending Group and its Illuminatus Group may spend Megabucks this way. The chance of an Attack succeeding is called the Base Roll, and is determined differently for different types of attack. The Modified Base Roll(MBR) begins with value of the Base Roll, and is modified as follows: For each Megabuck that the Attacking Group, or its Illuminatus Group, spends on the attack(which amount must be specified as part of the Action), the MBR is modified upwards by 1. For each Megabuck the Defending Group spends(which spending must occur within three days of the attack being announced), the MBR is modified downwards by 2. For each Megabuck its Illuminatus Group spends in its defense, the MBR is modified downward by 1. If the Defending Group is Protected by a factor of 1, the MBR is modified downward by 10; if by a factor of 2, the MBR is modified downward by 5; and if by a factor of 3, the MBR is modified downward by 2. (A Protection factor of 4 or greater has no effect.) The Final Base Roll, or FBR, is the lesser of 10 and the Modified Base Roll. [ That is, the Final Base Roll may never be greater than 10; there is always a chance that any attack will fail. ] V. Types of Attack a) Attack to Control This type of Attack may be aimed at any group except an Illuminatus Group. The Base Roll in this case is the Attacking Group's Power minus the Defending Group's Resistance. If the Attack succeeds, then the Defending Group's Thrall Attribute becomes the name of the Attacking Group. b) Attack to Neutralize This type of Attack may be aimed at any Controlled Group. The Base Roll in this case is the Attacking Group's Power minus the Defending Group's Resistance, plus six. If the Attack succeeds, then the Defending Group's Thrall Attribute becomes "". c) Attack to Destroy This type of Attack may be aimed at any Organized Group. The Base Roll in this case is the Attacking Group's Power minus the Defending Group's Power. If the Attack succeeds, then the Defending Group's Power and Resistance characteristics are set to 0(i.e. it is no longer a Group). VI. Outcome of Attacks It is a Duty of the Org-Harfer to determine the success or failure of Attacks, when it becomes necessary(as specified above)to do so. In doing so, e must roll two six-sided dice(using the Dice Server)and sum them together. If this value is greater than the Final Base Roll, then the Attack fails; otherwise, the Attack succeeds. SMOF {{[ This is of course an outright borrowing from Steve Jackson Games' "Illuminati". I know we promised we wouldn't do this, back when the Illuminatus was first proposed, but I guess my resolve was weak. A bit bare-bones as of now, but I've been tossing this idea around in my head for a few weeks now and finally decided to put it out there and anyone else who has ideas for it may Propose them. Some thoughts I'd had: --How to gain power and resistance? Population? Org powers? Just plain spending? --Alignments: Political Parties "Government"? "Communist" based on SMC membership policy? Churches "Fanatic"? etc. Or just based on some kind of Similarity between groups? --Groups having incomes of Megabucks? This is probably incompatible with the idea of being able to convert Megabucks back into A$... --What kinds of Groups may be Illuminatus Groups? Do they need some kind of Org Power? --What happens if an Organization ceases to be a Group? Are its Megabucks destroyed, or redeemed for their A$ value? --Otzma Cards to mimic the special cards? --Should there be limitations on how often Groups can transfer Megabucks? --Groups with transferrable power? How about special abilities? --What do you gain by Controlling these Groups? I don't want it to have any effect on anything else the Controlled Group does as an Organization... --Should there be a limit to the number of Groups a given Group may Control? ]}} ------------------------------ From: devjoe@wilma.che.utexas.edu Subject: Acka: Proposal 3775 accepted Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 16:31:25 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3775 Votes: 19/24 (18 YES votes): Quorum met Yes votes: 18/19: proposal accepted Yes: r-attila the farce (Giant Objectionable Potato) Niccolo Flychuck (MetaMorph) Alfvaen (MetaMorph) Pol Pot (Giant Objectionable Potato) smallpox blanket (Klingon) Slakko (SPAM) K 2 /dev/joe (Vulcan) Jenny (The Razor Boomerangs) Vynd else...if JT Robin Hood (Anti-Voting Preservationist Party) ThinMan sIRE MTM (The Razor Boomerangs) Wild Card two-star No: Euphrates Abstain Wallace Calvin N Hobbes rufus Studge (Giant Objectionable Potato) IdiotBoy (Anti-Voting Preservationist Party) Pending & did not vote: Danek scout Red Barn Vacationing & did not vote: Aunt Froot Ethelred J.
