Not every game currently choosable is suitable for dueling (2 player diplomacy, anyone?) and letting the Challenged pick the game is just TOO large an advantage. Even saaremaa's 'passe' prop didn't go far enough; if i declare double-crash passe, my opponent can still pick triple double crash, etc. So this prop changes how the game is decided upon. If anyone remembers Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series, that's what this is based on (very loosely of course, with much room to expand when we get more duelable games)] Trent loses 3 points, JT gains a point, /dev/joe gains 2 points [Malenkai should really get the points here, but he's on ice]}} In rule 1215 (Duels), replace the following FIRST_BLOOD-delimited text FIRST_BLOOD The Second posts a public message, which announces the name of the Challenging player, the name of the Challenged player, the reason for the Challenge, the fact that a Challenge has been made, and optionally, the name of a Game or Contest that "is passe". The Challenged player has 3 days to find another player who agrees to be their Second and have the Second respond to the message publically. The message must contain the following information: The Challenge it is a reply to, and a Game or Contest chosen by the Challenged player for the Duel, or an explicit waiver of the privilege of choosing the Game or Contest. If there is no response to the Challenge within the 3 days, or the Challenged player declines the challenge, or the response does not conform to the rules preceding, then the Challenged player forfeits the Duel. The Game or Contest (hereafter called Contest) chosen for the Duel must be one in the Games and Contests Rule Suite. Moreover, it must be playable by exactly two players, or two teams of two players each and have definitive rules for determining a winner (or a winning team), and it must not have been declared passe in the Challenge. If the chosen contest is for two teams, then each of the participants of the Duel teams up with eir respective Second. If the Challenging player, the Challenged player, and the two Seconds are not four different players, then the team option is not available and the contest chosen must be playable by exactly two players. If the Challenged player waived the privilege of choosing a Contest, the Challenging player may choose a Contest. After the Challenged Player's Second has posted the acceptance of the Duel, the Duel starts when the Herald announces it. If the Game or Contest chosen for the Duel requires a Referee, it does not require two teams of two players, and no player volunteers to referee the Game within one week of the Duel's beginning, then the Herald shall referee the Duel, unless the Herald is either the Challenged or Challenging Player, in which case the Challenged Player's Second shall referee the Duel. FIRST_BLOOD with the following TO_THE_DEATH-delimited text TO_THE_DEATH The Second posts a public message, which announces the name of the Challenging player, the name of the Challenged player, the reason for the Challenge, and the fact that a Challenge has been made. The Challenged player has 3 days to find another player who agrees to be their Second and have the Second respond to the message publically. The message must contain the following information: The Challenge it is a reply to, and whether e wants to pick Rows or Columns in the Games Grid. If there is no response to the Challenge within the 3 days, or the Challenged player declines the challenge, or the response does not conform to the rules preceding, then the Challenged player forfeits the Duel. After the Challenged Player's Second has posted the acceptance of the Duel, the Duelists have three days to send their Games Grid Row or Column choices to the Herald, or to the Second of the Challenged if the Herald is a Duelist. If either fails to do so within the required time, e forfeits the duel. If both fail to do so within the required time, the duel ends without a winner. Once both have sent eir choices in, the game in the intersection of the Row choice and the Column choice becomes the Game chosen for the Duel. If there are multiple Games in the division of the Games Grid chosen, the Herald shall randomly determine which one shall be played in the duel. After the game is determined, the Duel starts when the Herald announces it. If the Game or Contest chosen for the Duel requires a Referee and no player volunteers to referee the Game within one week of the Duel's beginning, then the Herald shall referee the Duel, unless the Herald is either the Challenged or Challenging Player, in which case the Challenged Player's Second shall referee the Duel. The Games Grid is a 3x3 grid with the three columns Simultaneous, Turn-Based, and Harfy (1, 2, and 3) and the three rows Strategy, Art, and Word Games. (A, B, and C) The games are placed in it as follows: Simultaneous Turn Based Harfy 1 2 3 A. Strategy Viruses Tromino Go Abstract Crescent B. Art Bacon YORL Acka Role Playing C.

I really liked them and wanted to have the fun of being illuminatus. It also undoes the changes that Trent has proposed to remove stray references to Agenda Hats. This and the Retractions rule (which someone else is reproposing) are the only two things I was sorry to lose, and given that this was voted an EXCELLENT rule, I would hope that people would like to see it stay. I am making this modest and removing all points from myself that I get for proposing this. ]}} This is a Modest Proposal. Create rule 431 titled Illuminatus with the following ILLUMINATUS delimited text. ILLUMINUTUS The Office of the Illuminatus is an optional office. The duties of the Illuminatus are to collect Agenda Conditions, conduct bidding on Nemesis Eggplants, and distribute and track Agenda Hats, as described in this rule. The Illuminatus has the Duty co announce a call for Agenda Condition submissions if, for any reason, there has not been such a call during the current cycle, and there is neither a call for Agenda Conditions nor a Nemesis Eggplant bidding period currently underway. The Illuminatus has the privilege of calling for Agenda Submissions whenever no such call has occurred in the past 90 days. The Agenda Condition submission period will last for seven days after this. During this time, any voting player other than the Illuminatus may submit a number of Agenda Conditions equal to three minus the number of Agenda Hats e owns by sending them to the Illuminatus. If a player sends more than this number of Agenda Conditions, only the first Agenda Conditions sent will be counted. Agenda Conditions should be statements that may be true or false depending on the game state. If the words "this hat," or "this eggplant" are used in an Agenda Condition, they shall be equivalent to, "the Agenda Hat associated with this Agenda Condition," and "the Nemesis Eggplant associated with this Agenda Condition," respectively. At the end of the seven days, the Illuminatus must release a list of all submitted Agenda Conditions, along with the names of the players who submitted each. If at least 4 players have submitted Agenda Conditions, the Illuminatus must initiate a seven day Nemesis Eggplant bidding period. During the Nemesis eggplant bidding period, each player who submitted Agenda conditions may send a Weight bid corresponding to each submitted Agenda Condition to the Illuminatus. Weight bids must be integers between (-2 Magic Number / 3) and (Magic Number / 3). If a player does not send a weight bid for a particular Agenda Condition, that player will be considered to have bid (Magic Number / 3), rounded down, on that condition. At the conclusion of the bidding period, the following occurs: z) Initially, all conditions are under consideration. a) The Illuminatus will determine the condition under consideration which has the lowest bid. Ties should be broken randomly. b) A Nemesis Eggplant with that condition is awarded to the lowest bidder on that condition who has less than 3 Nemesis Eggplants. Ties among lowest bidders should be broken randomly. (If there are no bidders who have less than 3 Nemesis Eggplants, then the Nemesis Eggplant shall be awarded to a randomly chosen player who has either one or two Nemesis Eggplants, or zero Nemesis Eggplants but one or more Agenda Hats. If there are no such players, then the Nemesis Eggplant is awarded to a randomly chosen player.) c) That condition is removed from consideration. If any conditions are still under consideration, this process repeats, starting with a) d) The Illuminatus may change the condition associated with any Nemesis Eggplant if e believes any of the following : i) that it is impossible for a player to achieve that condition in normal play ii) achieving the condition would prevent the player from winning by agenda. [for example, The owner of this hat also has the Chartreuse Goose.] iii) the condition is otherwise unharfy [For example, a condition that would be satisfied by spamming the mailing list with 1000's of messages would be technically easy to achieve, but a bad idea all around.] The condition that the Illuminatus chooses should be easily attainable. It should also be silly. e) For each newly created Nemesis Eggplant an agenda Hat is created in the hidden state, which has: i) with the same condition. ii) a weight equal to the lowest bid on its condition that was greater than the winning bid. If no bid was greater, the hat is assigned the winning bid as a weight. If the eggplant was awarded to a player who did not bid on it, then the hat is assigned the highest bid on its condition. Any Agenda Hats with a condition that was chosen by the Illuminatus according to d) are Silly Agenda Hats, and instead are created with a weight of (Magic Number / 4) rounded up. f) Each player who submitted Agenda Conditions receives a number of agenda hats equal to the number of conditions e submitted. The Agenda Hats must be distributed randomly among these players, except that no player shall receive an Agenda Hat with a condition that e authored or that is the same as that of a Nemesis Eggplant e owns. If, after some part of this distribution has been done, there is no way to distribute the remaining hats as specified above(e.g. all players who submitted Agenda Conditions have three Agenda Hats, because of one or more players leaving the game or hats being transferred among players), then the remaining Agenda Hats are randomly distributed among players with one or two Agenda Hats or no Agenda Hats but one or more Nemesis Eggplants. If there are no such players and Agenda Hats still remain to be distributed, then they are distributed randomly among other players. Any Agenda Hats still remaining are transferred to the Mad Hatters. g) The Illuminatus must publicly announce the owners and conditions for each Nemesis Eggplant created, and the weights and conditions for each Agenda Hat created. The Illuminatus must privately notify each player who received Agenda Hats as to the conditions of each Agenda Hat that player received. It is also a duty of the Illuminatus to check that the correct condition is being revealed when a player makes an Agenda Hat visible. It is a privilege of the Illuminatus that e achieves a Winning Condition if it is publicly knowable that e has a score that is greater than 5/6 times the Magic Number. ILLUMINATUS {{Change the authorship of rule 431 to two-star}} Create rule 607 titled Winning by Agenda with the following AGENDA delimited text. AGENDA If a voting player owns at least three Agenda Hats, and it is publicly knowable that the condition for each Agenda Hat e owns is true, and that player's score is greater than or equal to the sum of the weights of all of the agenda hats e owns, then the following will occur: a) E will receive the title of Agent of KAOS. Any other player with this title loses it. b) The owner of any Nemesis Eggplant with a condition that is the same as the condition of an agenda hat owned by the Agent of KAOS must pay 40 A$ to the Agent of KAOS. c) All Agenda hats owned by the Agent of KAOS and all Nemesis eggplants with corresponding conditions are destroyed d) The Agent of KAOS achieves a Winning Condition. e) The Agent of KAOS has three days from when eir Cycle-Win CFJ becomes unappealable to publicly announce eir desire to be Illuminatus. If they do so the current Illuminatus is removed from office and the Agent of KAOS becomes the new Illuminatus. Otherwise the office of Illuminatus becomes vacant. At the end of a cycle won by this method, any player who had owned a Nemesis Eggplant that was destroyed as above when the Winning Condition that led to the win of that cycle was achieved has eir score set to -40. [See Rule 666] At the end of a cycle won by this method, all Agenda Hats and Nemesis Eggplants are destroyed. AGENDA {{Change the authorship of rule 607 to two-star}} Create rule 671 with the title Nemesis Eggplants and Agenda Hats and the following text as delimited by HATS_AND_EGGS HATS_AND_EGGS Nemesis Eggplants are ownable Entities. Each Nemesis Eggplant has a condition associated with it. Agenda Hats are ownable Headwear. Each Agenda Hat has a condition and a weight (which must be an integer,) associated with it. No player may own an agenda hat with a condition e authored or for which e owns corresponding Nemesis Eggplant. Agenda hats may be Silly as described by the rules. They may be either visible or hidden, (but not both.) The owner of a hidden Agenda Hat may make it visible by publicly posting the condition associated with it. Visible Agenda Hats are tradable. Only visible Agenda Hats may be worn. No player may wear more than three Agenda Hats at any given time. The author of an Agenda Hat's condition may publicly post a description of that Agenda Hat. No Entity other than Players or The Mad Hatters may own Agenda Hats. No Entity other than Players may own Nemesis Eggplants. If player who is wearing a Silly Agenda Hat posts a public message that does not contain the words, "wearing a Silly Agenda Hat," or "wearing Silly Agenda Hats" that Silly Agenda Hat falls off and is no longer being worn. If the owner of a Nemesis Eggplant is ever On Ice, then all of eir Nemesis Eggplants are randomly redistributed. These Eggplants shall go, if possible, to players who own one or two Nemesis Eggplants; if not, they shall go to players who own no Nemesis Eggplants. If there are no such players, then the Nemesis Eggplants are destroyed, as well as their corresponding Agenda Hats. If the owner of an Agenda Hat is ever On Ice, then all of eir Agenda Hats shall be transferred to the Mad Hatters. HATS_AND_EGGS {{Change the authorship of rule 671 to two-star}} Create rule 675 titled Mercury Poisoning with the following MERCURY delimited text. MERCURY The Mad Hatters is an Organization. It is permitted to own and trade A$ and Agenda Hats. The Mad Hatters at all times owns a More Than Human. Beep, Blip and Bonk are three unownable entities. Beep, Blip and Bonk become members of the Mad Hatters, if they are not currently members. Beep, Blip and Bonk always have eir support proxied to The Mad Hatters. Beep, Blip and Bonk may express eir consent in the Public Forum by a message from the Illuminatus which indicates the consent of Beep, Blip and/or Bonk. The Mad Hatters automatically approve any trade that satisfies one or more of the following forms, provided that the trade is possible: 1) A player trades a Visible Agenda Hat to the Mad Hatters in exchange for A$1. The Mad Hatters are permitted to call a public auction on any of the Agenda Hats they own and will do so upon request. When the Mad Hatters call an auction, the illuminatus shall initiate it and the minimum shall be A$10.
