Proposal 4008
There are Dragons in the Sky
else...if
Due: Tue Jan 19 16:47:41 1999
Status: accepted
Create rule 1-99, "The Dragon", with the following GIANTS delimited
text
GIANTS
{{All descendants of rule 1 are made unassailable}}
At all times there exists one Dragon in Ackanomic. It resides in a
tower beyond the Ackanomic River. On the 9th of every month, if the Dragon
does not have a rule held prisoner, it swoops into Ackanomic and attacks
one rule at random which is not unassailable (determined by the
Rule-Harfer). If the attack succeeds, that rule is amended to read "This
rule has been stolen by the Dragon" and the old text of the rule is held
prisoner in the Dragon's tower, where it has no effect on the game. A rule
held prisoner may not be amended, repealed, renumbered, or otherwise
altered; this sentence takes precedence over all other rules.
If at any time there exists no Dragon, then a new one is created
and is assigned a Wisdom, Intelligence, Constitution, and Strength from
12-20 (with random chances for each).
A player with positive honour, as a public action, may declare
emself to be a knight and specify another player with positive honour as a
horse. If, within the next week, the specified horse publicly declares
emself a horse and names as eir knight a player who named em as a horse,
then those two become a Dragon Hunting Team. The Dragon Hunting Team
immediately attack the Dragon. The following steps occur:
1) If the knight does not have a trinket worth at least $50 in eir
posession with the name "lance", or has more than one such trinket then the
attack fails [the knight either has no weapon, or gets confused as to which
one to use].
2) Characteristic tests are performed. In order, they are:
Knight's Intelligence vs. Dragon's
Horse's Constitution vs. Dragon's
Knight's Strength vs. Dragon's
Horse's Wisdom vs. Dragon's
If any of these tests failed, than the attack fails.
3) The Dragon breaths on the Team. There is a 40% chance for each of them
that they die and are transported to the Ackanomic After-Life and have eir
score set to -10.
4) If the knight dies, the attack fails. If the horse dies, the knight
must succeed a constitution test against the Dragon for it to succeed. If
both players survive, the attack succeeds. Otherwise it fails.
If the attack fails the lance is sent to the Treasury. If the
attack succeeds then the dragon is killed and the knight must announce
either "Behold, for I have freed the beauteous rule!" or "Darn, it died by
accident." If neither is announced by the knight within 3 days, it is
assumed that the former was said. If the latter was said, the rule is
repealed. If the former was said, the text of the rule is restored to its
state before the Dragon took it prisoner. Regardless, both members of the
Team have eir Fire skill increased by 1, become Daring Adventurers and
receive 20 points for every month the rule was kept hostage. A new Dragon
is born when one is killed.

Proposal 4017
Rule Tweaking
else...if
Due: Tue Jan 26 17:15:16 1999
This is a modest proposal.
{{[Now we can just say things like "make it a child of rule X" and it will
work]}}
In rule 2-3, replace section II.2 with "Otherwise, if the creator
assigned it a valid H number and that rule already exists and has a parent
(hereafter called THEPARENT), or the creator specified that it be the child
of an exisiting rule (hereafter called THEPARENT) without specifying an H
number, then the rule receives the smallest H number not already assigned
to a rule which would make it a child of THEPARENT."
{{[There are four rules left in the 11's, which would have been
organizations. This puts them in places which make more sense. (The other
two rules will be moved automatically with eir parents.)]}}
Move 11-1 to 12-8-4.
Move 11-2 to 4-4-6.
{{[Reorganizing the entity rules]}}
Move 7-4 to 7-5-1
Move 7-8 to 7-2-1
Move 7-9 to 7-2-2
Move 7-10 to 7-2-3
Move 7-12 to 7-2-4
