[BNomic-Public] Re: State of Emergency

[Daniel Lepage]

I think we may now be in a state of Concerned Emergency... I've sent 
the message below to both b-public and b-private, and neither has come 
back to me. Is anyone else having problems with the backup lists?

It shouldn't be too bad - the normal lists should be up by tomorrow.

Anyway, here's my first Refresh prop. I intend to revise it, once I can 
see the whole societies and roster pages:


I issue a Refresh Prop:
{{
__Cleaning Up__

Amend r1282 to read:
{{
__Seniority__
Once a player has been a player for at least as long as six complete 
consecutive months, that player recieves one point of Respect and the 
title "Veteran of B Nomic."

Once a player has been a player for at least as long as twelve complete 
consecutive months, that player loses the title "Veteran of B Nomic" 
and recieves three points of Respect and the title "Patriarch of B 
Nomic" if their Gender is Male, "Matriarch of B Nomic" if their Gender 
is Female, or "Oligarch of B Nomic" if their gender is Drone.

Once a player has been a player for at least as long as twenty-four 
complete consecutive months, that player loses the title given them 
under the previous paragraph, and recieves five points of Respect, and 
the title "Ancient One of B Nomic". The number of wins in eir 
possession is increased by one. However, this does not cause any events 
triggered by the awarding of a Win to occur.

The player who has been in the game for the longest time holds the 
title "Revered Elder."

The above titles are awarded in ascending order by length of time they 
represent, and are not awarded more than once to a player. If a player 
quits the game and rejoins, e is considered a new player for the 
purposes of this rule
}}
[[This tweaks the "award a win" bit so that it doesn't cause an entropy 
meltdown or a Circuit Breaker flip]]

Repeal the rule entitled __No Win For You__, if one exists.

Give all BNS to the bank, then transfer 2000 BNS to each player.
[[ I don't see why anyone should bother recounting our BNS totals; even 
if we knew how much we had, I'd still want to level things before 
developing any use for it. ]]

Destroy the following societies, if they exist:
OrcTech
Athena's Society
The Secret Mookies
Wonko's Cashbox
The First International Bank of bd
[[ There is no difference between any of these societies and a generic 
society just created - they have no resources, nor any special 
properties. Thus, anyone could create societies identical to these at 
any point; there is no point in keeping them around, especially since 
some of them may not still exist]]

}}

More will be added once I can get a good look at the DB; this removes 
at least the obvious problem of multiple win-resets as soon as the 
Pause ends. (BTW, the rules don't say 'turn off the clock for an nweek' 
or anything like that; I was just commenting that the number of wins 
due would cause the clock to turn off for the equivalent of an nweek, 
maybe longer if other birthdays arrive during that time)
